[@misterbadguy7325]

Fun fact: Smoke Grenade of the Thief is a pretty popular card in Goat Format, due to the existence of Gearfried the Iron Knight basically turning it into a three-of Confiscation.

[@_Vengeance_]

To be fair, Babycerasaurus saw no play even in Dinosaur decks back in the days, it wasn't just that Dinosaur decks were rare: triggering its effect was just a tremendous pain in the ass back then. Dark Hole and Torrential Tribute were pretty much the only useful cards to destroy it yourself, but Dark Hole was limited and TT was best used on your opponent's turn (and was IIRC also limited for quite some time). The difference between summoning a non-Babycerasaurus monster from your hand after having TT'd your opponent last turn, or a Babycerasaurus into TT into any lvl 4- Dino-Type from your deck, was incredibly tiny back then and not worth giving away LP for free and running a potentially dead card.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

I see Babycerasaurus as akin to Rekindling. A potentially broken card that needed an archetype to be built around it, so it could be properly (ab)used. And ho boy they did it with the 2017 Dinosaur structure deck.

[@skylarkaiser7991]

I could see it working well in a Tyranno Infinity based deck back in the day. Dark Hole was actually banned during the time it was released, and TT was only limited to 1, but there are other ways to destroy baby. Run Skull Lair instead of Survival Instinct, as banishing 3 dinos from your GY to pop baby only benifits you. Cards like Offerings to the Doomed if the occasion calls for it would also help. Adding Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys along with some Hand of Nephthys's into the mix wouldn't be a bad idea either. You could also run cards like "The Rock Spirit" (depending on the elements of the dinos you're running) as they'd buff Tyranno Infinity even more when u banish to SS them. Archfiend's Oath is really funny with this kind of deck, as even if you guess wrong then you mill the topdeck to the GY (possibly gaining another dino in grave), and at best you draw the card you need most at that moment. Lastly, I don't think Fossil Excavation had any restrictions on the banlist at that time, (or ever really). Babycerasaurus's search effect still triggers if Fossil Excavation is destroyed while equipped to it because it only negates the resurrected dino's effect on the field. There are even more ways to speed this card up but my reply is already long enough, I just think Babycerasaurus was seriously slept on / underrated upon release. It's a shame because dino decks could of been a solid choice possibly back then in 2006.

What the fuck is up with Aqua Dolphins effect on the immage you used for the video?

[@1musamune]

Babycerasaurus+Big Evolution Pill+Souleating Oviraptor to grab Ultimate Tyranno from the deck in order to summon it next turn

[@jamesbiggs8397]

I'm actually really sad they banned Grinder Golem because I USED IT pre-link-monsters in a board-maniplulation/burn-damage/self-heal deck. Was the deck good? No, it would more often than not end me losing or a draw. But being able to combo it with Creature Swap, Magic Cylinder, & others I can't recall the names of was super fun! Alas, now it's gone so I can't use do any of those shenanigans anymore.

Gearfried the iron knight can activate smoke grenade because it destroys equip cards that are equipped to it right but it’s a very mediocre 1800 attack beat stick

A solid chunk of this list is just cards that get broken by Link Summoning. Huh.

[@nassirjackson9038]

Imo links were a mistake. I know everyone likes to hate on the new mechanic but I started playing around synchro. I didn’t have a problem with xyz yea they were broken but it was new and it didn’t make synchros worse synchros kept up with XYZ just fine. Pendulums everyone hated but I liked them maybe because as soon as they came out I played Pend Magician. But Links are just synchros except you ain’t gotta count and you can use any monster for it (don’t need tuners) When I first saw Link I initially thought “Sooo Synchros with no math.... or tuners ok”. I love how links were made to balance the game and slow it down. Hilarious

[@Observe-h1t]

@@chaddoom7993 the most convuluted? Are you sure we are playing the same game? Almost Nothing in this meta can survive without link summoning nowadays because at how easy you can summon then and they can float into other monster so easy, look at Halqibrax, Synchro become really broken thanks to him.

[@Observe-h1t]

[@marktwayne9796]

@@nassirjackson9038 Exactly. I'm not going to be a hypocrite and pretend that I don't religiously use a few of them. Verte Anaconda and Halqifibrax especially are incredible to work with. BUT, the concept of Link summoning as a whole was an extraordinarily stupid implementation into the franchise. You get to use monsters that are on average, on par with or far better than most monsters of the other mechanics, but their summoning conditions are _ridiculous._ Either they have no specific requirements whatsoever and just need a certain number of monsters, or they need Effect monsters, or monsters with different names. Whichever way you look at it, this is absolute BS. Some have tighter restrictions, like needing monsters of a specific type, but the majority don't. It completely ruined the balance of the game, and clearly Konami doesn't have any plans to fix the actual problems it has caused. They literally haven't even done anything to Mystic Mine, despite the fact that it _completely defeats the entire point of the game._ Whoever is in charge of Konami need to piss off and let people with actual sense do the job.

Alternative title: cards that were ticking bombs that exploded eventually

[@chaddoom7993]

More like: "Cards that finally found 39-59 new friends that are just as useless as they are."

[@Seethenhagen]

I wonder what the implications would be if Self Destruct Button had an errata that specified that the duel doesn't end due to a player having 0 LP until the end of the turn that the card was activated. Could make an interesting strategy where LP gain cards can give a win condition for the user of self destruct button, losing if the opponent gains life points while attempting to force a tie, or an even match where both players end up having a small pool of LP if both players have a card that can get them back up above 0 LP before the end of the turn.

[@halowaffle25]

Hey, I don't know if anybody else has caught this yet, but I was really confused when you got to number 9. You must have accidentally used the anime effect for Aqua Dolphin. If it had the effect that was on the image you used, it would have seen play much sooner than it did, lol.

I thought I was having a stroke when looking at it. Looked up aqua dolphin personally to make sure I wasnt going crazy

[@chaddoom7993]

What's it's effect again? "Upon opening your booster pack and seeing this piece of fecal matter, immediately send it to the trash can and do not let it anywhere near your deck or else you lose the duel." Something like that. I don't remember the exact wording but that was pretty much the jist of it! Most of the cards in the game have that effect so I'm pretty sure this is one of them!
