Top 10 Best "Pot" and "Jar" Cards in Yugioh

[@thevintagevaluesexperience4302]

How about: top 10 cards banned for non-power level reasons. Victory Dragon and Kaiser Colosseum were banned for causing major rulings headaches, Last Turn and Self-Destruct Button were banned for consistently causing draws, and Fiber Jar was banned just for being extremely annoying.

[@clockworkpotato9892]

I feel Last Turn and Self-Destruct shouldn't be grouped. Last Turn was banned because the way it interacted with cards like Jowgen and Marshmellon in very cheesy way, while Self-Destruct allowed for very degenerate match stalling

[@charziz6693]

Twin-Headed Behemoth was banend for creating a Schrodinger's Cat scenario with it's soft once per duel.

[@wpmer]

I believe there is a video with victory dragon and other monsters with the same "Win the duel" effect.

[@nicolaistuhlmuller8718]

Kaiser Colosseum was actually banned for power reasons. If you would let your turn 1 end on exactly one strong boss monster, you could then put down kaiser kolosseum and mostly prevent any monster based strategy that requires you to have more than one monster on the field.

[@shnipes]

victory dragon was banned because it was never intended to be a legal card

[@WarTex]

This just shows how IMPORTANT and different the system of Yugioh is compared to others. In the Pokemon TCG for example, they're are a bunch of reprints of a very simple effect "Draw 3 cards" which isn't really even played as there are others who will let you draw even 6 or even 7 cards. But in a Format that is not energy-based whatsoever, having a draw X/add X with no downside is like THE peak of card design for the game.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I feel this has a lot to do with the complexity of Yugioh as a whole, especially when you consider how many different types of special summoning mechanics there are, not to mention the fact that unlike with pretty much any other tcg other there currently, there's also no set rotation, either. It's also worth mentioning that the example you used for Pokemon specifically is not played because of a few reasons: 1) Those cards are supporter cards, which only one copy can be played of per turn, and it's a pretty weak effect for a supporter. This is why Bill, which lets you draw 2 cards, was originally considered to be very good since there was no restriction on how many copies you could play in a turn when the card was first printed, but as soon as it got reprinted as a supporter card, everyone disregarded it. 2) There are other supporters that either let you draw more cards, or do the same effect of drawing 3 more while also having additional effects as well; this ties into the first point of why those cards never get played, since you're giving up the ability to play a different, more useful supporter by playing one of those cards instead. 3) In Pokemon, you need to have a 60 card deck, while in Yugioh, you're allowed anywhere between 40 and 60 cards, and back when I still played the game regularly, it was much closer to the smaller 40 card limit. This means that in Yugioh, draw effects don't necessarily need to be able to draw you as many cards because you have a smaller number to go through in the course of a game, which is only compounded by how prevalent search effects are in Yugioh, which can thin your deck even more

Fun trivia. The Jar Monsters, the Pot Spells (and monsters), and Jar Traps, are actually 3 (4?) distinct "archetypes". In the OCG, the Jar monsters are just called "Pot" (ポット; potto) or pod (ポッド; Poddo) (note: Pot the Trick has only been printed once, and never in the TCG, but if it were, it would be called a "Jar"); it's really hit or miss on which of the Jar flip monsters are pots or pods. The Pot Spells and Monsters + Dragon Capture Jar (Spirit of the Pot of Greed, Avatar of the Pot, and Pot of the Forbidden) are referred to as "Tsubo" (壺; つぼ) And the Jar Traps + Jar Turtle are referred to as "Kame" (瓶; かめ)

Pot Of Greed is the reason I love Yugioh as a game. Unlike many it just shows old doesn't mean outdated and new doesn't necessary mean better. Somehow an anime card created over 20 years ago that the creator definitely didn't put many complicated thoughts into it and was just like "Yeah, just give it an Uno effect to draw cards" with the most generic and basic card game gimmick just becomes so unrivalled and unmatched in newer generations that new copy cats were made just to replicate it's former glory without breaking the game.

funny thing about resolving cyberjar in today's meta is that it would force most monster hand traps on the field rather then go to the hand. though in the end it would be just more monsters that they can link with, or in the case of the ghost girls, to synch with, or in the case of nebiru to potentially come online.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

That is its main issue. It acts as disruption, sure, but wouldn't work outside a turbo jar deck. In the best case scenario that it lives through your turn and into your opponent's battle phase, it will wipe the board, but then give your opponent some bodies on the board and extra cards in hand, so they can just go to main phase 2 and combo off using that. Meanwhile, if you use it during your own turn in a deck focused on flipping them up and back down, you would be able to avoid most hand traps by forcing them on the field instead of the hand, while at least getting information on anything else they did add. It would be too niche to be problematic nowadays

[@b4sh936]

I'd say Pot of the Forbidden, but it's a lvl 9 flip monster, which already makes it ridiculously hard to use, if not impossible in modern formats. but if you can work around its restrictions, you get to activate one of four effects from forever-banned cards

[@Gamesmarts194]

I like how every time Pot of Greed comes up there’s always the accompanying joke of how “complicated” it is to use.

[@tonberryking42]

Another advantage Prosperity has going for it is that you can banish ANY 6 cards from your Extra Deck - this includes your face-up Extra Deck, so you can stack up some pendulum monsters that you can't use again or don't need to offset the cost eating into your toolbox. Extravagance outright specifies that it has to banish face-down cards from your extra deck, so you can't cheese the cost by cramming in a bunch of pendulum monsters.

[@xCorvus7x]

Banishing cards face-down from your Extra deck means both that the cards are banished face-down _and_ that the banished cards were face-down in your Extra deck? I thought it meant only the former (although, unless you get Pendulums into your Extra deck before your Main Phase 1 begins, Extravagance would only be a turn 3 tool here).

[@tonberryking42]

@@xCorvus7x Nope. Extravagance explicitly says "Banish 3 or 6 random **face-down** cards from your Extra Deck, face-down" meaning that the cards its banishing must be face-down in the Extra Deck, and it makes 3 or 6 of them at random become banished face-down. Prosperity does *not* have that stipulation - they just gotta be cards in your extra deck, but they are still banished face-down.

[@ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣΛΑΧΑΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ]

On the other hand, extravagance is fantastic in gimmick decks that don't use an extra deck because it's basically a free pot of greed.

[@tonberryking42]

@@ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣΛΑΧΑΝΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ Semi free. It has to be the first thing you do in the main phase, and you cannot draw any more cards after resolving the effect successfully. That being said, if you can gimmick a bunch of fast effect draw cards in your draw and standby phases, Extravagance says that you're still good to use it. Buuuut now you're playing a bunch of draw cards that Extravagance will likely be drawing you into. Also, I just learned that Extravagance is on the list of things Mystical Refpanel arbitrarily cannot chain to, despite NOTHING about either card indicating that they are incompatible - they just don't want you locking yourself out of drawing cards during your opponent's turn, I guess. You'll notice that on rulings, "Can "Mystical Refpanel" be activated in Chain to the activation of [X}" and the cards where you can't will say, universally, "Mystical Refpanel" is a card that is activated directly in Chain to the activation of a Spell Card that affects 1 player. Since [X] is not a Spell Card that affects 1 player, "Mystical Refpanel" cannot be activated in Chain to the activation of [X]." Even if [X] does only affect one player. You'll notice that the theme here, at least when it comes to some of these cards with draw backs, is that the draw back is tied to the effect, rather than as a condition independent of the effect. You CAN Refpanel Duality, and you will excavate 3 and add 1, but the player who activated Duality will be restricted from special summoning. But you can't on Extravagance because the no more draws is part of the effect. Nevermind that the entire effect of Extravagance affects only the 1 player. Same deal with Sekka's Light, but at least that one follows under the line of reasoning that is "we don't want players to lose hard lose because they got too ahead of themselves, rather than because of any one exact interaction."

Pot of Prosperity is such a good card that there are some decks that would still use it instead of Pot of Greed even if it was legal. Because choosing one specific card out of 6 can win you the game in some cases, far better than 2 random cards, no matter the restrictions, that's why they limited Prosperity to 1 in Master Duel, it's not as generic and splashable as Pot of Greed but in terms of Power level it's almost the same. Pot of Desires is similar to that, but the current Meta favours Prosperity over Desires, though it could change in the future. Power creep of the game has become so big that there are some new cards that are as powerful as those old broken cards, nuts.

To be fair, even if pot of greed was legal, I doubt any of those would see play anyway. Running useless bricks in your deck just to gain an extra draw cancels itself out, and jar robber is useless for the same reason as anti-raigeki and gryphon's feather duster

[@Andys_Auto]

Nobody actually knows this but graceful charity is also a pot card lol. Might as well be anyway

[@roguetheundying397]

Cyber Jar could see play in Prediction Princess, Krawler, or Shaddoll since they all revolve around flip effects

[@sergobot2213]

Opened this video for one reason. The one reason was spot 1. I'm satisfied

[@HyperDragon01]

I don't understand pot of greed. Where do I draw the two cards from? How many is two? And where does the drawing come from? Am I supplied a pen and paper? Maybe some crayons and colored pencils?

[@kodytiffany5686]

I still think it should be frozen at 1 and not banned. It has card support stuff I want to see people play around with and figure out if it simply destroys game balance or allows certain deck concepts to be viable therefore opening up legit deck options for competitive. I agree that 3 is not right or 2 is slightly unfair. But it cannot be easily searched, and so as a one of that should balance it enough to be fair but OP for everyone.

[@Talestale]

Combo: "a Feather of the Phoenix" and "jar of avarice" use jar to add 5 then draw 1 then use feather to add jar to the top of your deck

18:55 "there has been a lot of confusion about what pot of greed does". True I didn't know until i watched this video.

[@Epzilon12]

Grats on 300k!

[@BoydDoghause]

Thanks for explaining Pot of Greed. This whole time, I thought its effect allowed you to draw 2 cards from anywhere. It doesn't say only my deck so I thought I could use it to draw from my opponents deck.

[@lunacurtis780]

Digimon TCG found a great balance in excavation, IMO. Top 3, add one, rarely an actual limit. Mana meters make it posssible to draw cards, I suppose. They're also constantly drawing. Not sure what Yugioh is so afraid of. Interaction, perhaps. Pokemoin does it by having a hard 1 cast on Trainer cards (as in one Trainer a turn) (which do most of the drawing)

[@lunacurtis780]

Yugioh's game design has fallen apart by simply trying to maintain the design. Refusing to let us draw cards perhaps is because they know that if we could, we would see how poorly designed it really is.

[@Panda-db2jw]

8:02... reading is so difficult... I didn’t know that MJ was dark (Lol)

[@fxlja]

Here's an idea: instead of top 10 "cards", try top 10 "packs". Yugioh has had a constant stream of boosters over its 20 years of life, surely some sets impact the game more than others based on so many factors like the game state when they're released, what cards they bring to the card pool, their interactions with older cards, etc etc.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

I think he has been staying away from more general products or topics just because there comes a whole new level of abstract decision making behind it. One of his most common sources for rankings is the amount of competitive play a card has seen, which is a nice empirical measurement. Sure, there is a lot of subjectiveness to that, like *when* it saw competitive play, or *why* it saw play. However, if he just went on to packs, it would bring in a bunch of real world factors like short printing, card rarity, third party card markets, and other real world events affecting availability of cards/tournaments. Then just the issues of having 60-100+ cards in a set and having to arbitrarily weigh just how many of those cards were useful, or whether a set deserves to be mentioned just because of a single meta-changing card inside even though everything else was underwhelming gimmicks or filler/reprints. He seems to prefer talking about just the cards and their specific role in the game

[@HazeEmry]

@@sirswagabadha4896 then how about a top *5* pack video? Maybe packs that have interesting cards that would've seen play in an earlier format? Or even the most disappointing packs lol

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Pretty much anything that drastically warped the game upon its release qualifies. Invasion of Chaos and Phantom Darkness are 2 of the packs. The former being responsible for the Forbidden part of the Forbidden and Limited list being used.

[@ZandrielGrimm]

Two weeks ago: "Cyber Jar has stayed on the ban list ever since" Konami: "Oh yeaaah"

[@MasonOfLife]

An idea for a video could be too 10 cards that return your own cards to the deck (I’m not sure if there’s enough of them tho) Be it from the hand, field, graveyard or removed from play, cards get returned to the deck (Be it for reuse, re-searchability or just to prevent running out of cards)

[@ivangeorgiev3301]

Man these vids makes me want to play yu gi oh again

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I can't recall if you or someone else have already done a video on the subject, but is Jar of Greed's effect the shortest card effect in the game? It's even 1 letter shorter than Pot of Greed's.

[@ColgatetheTogekiss]

In terms of card text, it’s actually sea monster of Theseus. The text? “Two Tuners” Card effect text? Yeah it is jar of greed.

@@nazeersadek6705 That's powercreep for you. Being a Flip effect monster makes it inherently too slow for the current state of the game. We could see more of this happening in future lists.

The #1 spot took me by surprise.

[@Rothiii]

Sidebar but I busted out laughing when you showed the Black Lotus. Literally a card that is literally BANK!

[@nathanlawrence656]

It's still kinda confusing, but I think I now know what Pot of Greed does: "It is a normal spell card which allows you to draw 2 cards from your deck, with no restriction, no cost, no once per turn, and no downside."

[@onryogaming8818]

next time can you pls go into more detail on what pot of greed does thanks

[@monpseudo8730]

I think you forgot about the jar in the man from « one man one jar » Definitively the best jar for me

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I had a fun idea for an anti-Pot/Jar card: A monster card that can special summon itself when your opponent activated a Jar/Pot card, negates and destroys it, and it gains ATK/DEF and/or you gain LP based off the number of cards it would have effected. And it’d be based off of Link or other characters known for smashing pots for stuff inside.

[@tacodojo2894]

Banger as usual

[@saintlytiger7504]

Small correction on number seven morphing jar is Earth attribute

[@LordDarkur]

Jar of avarice seems like an okay counter to 'called by the grave' if there are 5 cards in your grave already.

[@Montracht]

It is a way to dodge the banish and negate but since its shuffled back into the deck its effect still might not resolve, most of the graveyard effects say "while this card is in GY, you can ..." or "leaves the field" which doesnt include going to deck.

[@LordDarkur]

@@Montracht That's why I say okay. Fine for effect not requiring it to be in the grave to resolve but would it prevent hand trap effects like ash blossom since the cost is usually paid with the discard?

[@FatherAbroham]

Thank you for acknowledging the meme, good sir. A pleasant day to you.

[@Alola_love7119]

This may sound stupid, but would a clause like "this card can only be used once per duel or match' balance Pot of Greed? Or would it not even be worth playing at that point.

[@Y0G0FU]

I used Jar of Averice at 1 in the Brilliant Fusion era so i could discard and Cycle my Garnet back into the deck if i unfortunatly drew it too early :P But back then i was a much worse deckbuilder hehe

[@charlottesfunandfreechannel]

You should do top ten list of cards that unplayable because of the card that required is on the banlist Pot of greed has alot of unplayable cards that mention pot of greed in the card text.

[@Pepperknight341]

Hot Take, Pot of Greed should be at 1, and Royal Magical Library should be at one. Alternatively, nerf Exodia the Forbidden one. I also came up with some Pot cards: Pot Potato - You can reveal this card, this it's name becomes "Pot of Greed" in the Hand, Field and GY. Both Players toss a Six-Sided die back and forth. The Player that failed to catch the die, or toss it so it lands outside the Field, takes double damage equal to the number rolled x400. The other Player draws 2 cards. Pot of Rewards - Pot of Generosity and Avarice - Your opponent adds 3 cards from your Hand to their Hand. Shuffle all cards in your GY and Banish Pile to the Main Deck and draw 3 cards. Not exactly a "Pot" card, but: Wormhole of Greed - Add the first 2 face-down cards in your Banish Pile to the Hand. You can only use the effect of "Wormhole of Greed" once per Turn.

[@ashuraahunter]

The first one would be illegal, since its name is treated as that of a card on the Forbidden list. You would have to make that clause something like: "When activated, this card's name becomes 'Pot of Greed'." OR "This card's name becomes 'Pot of Greed' when in the hand or GY or on the field."

[@Alexifeu]

Personally I play 5 copies of Golden Bamboo Sword as Pot of greed and also 2 magical libraries on field for more pot of greeds. :))

Jar of avarice is a staple in most of my Duel Links decks because I like having a recycling bin lol. It's great for recycling cards that are dead in the graveyard
