Top 10 Cards That Gain Lifepoints Every Turn

Top ten lists by DuelLogs with Spellbook of Judgment at #1 🤣

[@MarioMastar]

This is where I feel this channel really shines and Yugioh as a card game. It's the only card game I've seen where due to the mechanics and pace of the game, there is genuine fun in trying to figure out how to make an otherwise useless card gain some advantage. Chazz and Yusei had many duels where they were forced to use terrible cards but used them to such good effect they proved that even cards that literally "If you play this, take 1000 damage" or "If this card is destroyed, take 2000 damage" managed to beat an opponent. Sure Chain snake isn't the strongest deck, but the whole point of the duel (as well as Chazz's Ojama duels and his less than 500 attack only) was to prove a point that it's not about power, as much as strategy. Course the only way you'll see wins with these gimmicky decks is against the CPU in Duel Links or ULTRA casual games among friends, but like I said, part of the fun is trying to get that legendary "Flying elephant" win legitimately and even if you lose 1000 duels, that 1 duel your opponent bricks and you finally pull off the flying elephant combo is worth celebrating. Leave Tears to the Tourney players who only use "decks that win".

[@fromas4487]

As an D/D/D player, I appreciate the monster D/D/D oracle king d'arc for her effect. "Any effect that would inflict damage to you makes you gain that much LP, instead." Which saved me multiple dulls due to the Dark Contract cards

I was thinking the other day that, given LP gain’s underwhelming status, it might be fun to release an instant win based on some gargantuan number, one of those impractical wins that is just designed for casual fun. Whether it be a full on instant win like, “Activate this card only if you have more than 20,000 life points, you win the duel” or if it was a little more indirect. “Pay 20,000 life points to damage your opponent for 10,000 life points.” I don’t want viable utility, I just want silly utility.

[@benjystrauss2524]

The LP-based win condition should probably be 2^32-1, because that's the largest number that can fit into a signed integer (4 bytes). You add 1 to that and the computer will view it as a negative number.

I think honerable mention should go to Golden Ladybug. You can reveal it in your hand during your standby phase, and it remains revealed until end phase, and in return you gain 500 LP. This card has effectively no cost and doesn't even touch the field. Sure it's only for your own standby phases, but it's so incredibly free and hard to destroy.

I still see Rush Duel players throwing in Red/Blue Medicine or Sparks to get that extra bit of chip damage. since the game is like a faster paced version of OG yugioh, getting 400/500/1000 lifepoints is actually worth the stall since most LP damage is done by battle and due to the multi summon mechanic, it's not hard to set up multiple def position monsters, so OTKing is a lot harder. Shout outs to Dian Keto the Boogie master being a big body with a 1000 LP gain and actually kind of a threat. I think most of Mimi's deck involves spamming LP gain to survive longer and give your opponent a bigger wall to break down.

[@ViniMoresco]

It's the one who uses Sun God Unification to increase ATK and then tributes by recovering LP, activating the Phoenix in the GY. A fun combo, but requires a lot of cards

[@ansienllir3185]

I'm really surprised that awakening of the sacred beasts didn't show up in this video. After a normal opponent combo you end up with 15-20k or more life points. And it also has a skill drain effect, making it an actually important card for the sacred beast deck.

Utopic XX is fun in duel links with trains if you're still farming for optimal pieces

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea for a suite/archetype of LP gain cards of my own: _Wellspring of Life_ Continuous Trap _You can only control 1 “Wellspring of Life”. You can activate this card from your hand or GY while you have less LP than your opponent. Unaffected by other card’s effects while you have more LP than your opponent. Each time a monster is summoned, you gain LP equal to its total original ATK/DEF. Each time a Spell/Trap card is activated, you gain 1000 LP. If a monster you control would be sent to the GY: You can instead pay LP Equal to it’s original ATK/DEF. You can pay any amount of LP: Increase the ATK and/or DEF of 1 monster on the field by equal to the amount payed. Once per turn, you can add 1 card to your hand from your deck or GY that mentions “Wellspring” in its name or effects._ _León, Guardian of the Wellspring_ (EARTH) Level 4 Warrior/Flip/Tuner/Effect _FLIP: Activate 1 “Wellspring” Spell/Trap from your hand, deck or GY._ _If you control a face-up “Wellspring of Life” (Quick Effect): You can special summon this card that is banished, or from your hand, deck or GY. Gains ATK/DEF equal to any increase in your LP. You gain LP equal to any battle or effect damage you inflict upon your opponent. Your opponent cannot target “Wellspring” Spells/traps you control for card effects while you control this face-up card. If your opponent summons a monster or declares an attack: You can special summon 1 “Wellspring” monster from your hand, or also your GY if you control a face-up “Wellspring of Life.”_ ATK/1500 DEF/1500 _Bounty of The Wellspring_ Quick-Play Spell _If your LP is lower than your opponent’s: Apply 1 of the following effects;_ ⚫️Double your LP. ⚫️Target 1 card you control: Until the end phase of next turn, While that target is on the field, any battle or effect damage you would take is halved. _If your LP is higher than your opponent’s: Apply 1 of the following effects:_ ⚫️Shuffle 2 cards from your hand, field and/or GY into your deck; Draw 2 cards. ⚫️Either Special Summon (face-up or Facedown) 1 “Wellspring” monster from your hand or GY OR set 1 “Wellspring” Spell/Trap from your hand, deck or GY._ _If you control a face-up “Wellspring of Life”, this card’s activation cannot be negated or responded to, also, shuffle this card into your deck after its effects resolve._ My head canon for these cards is that the Yu-Gi-Oh equivalent of Juan Ponce de León had managed to find the Fountain of Youth in his travels, BUT the fountain, or rather Wellspring, was alive in and of itself, and León could only use it by entering a pact with it: Juan would have the eternal life he so desired, and even the ability to travel to any instance of space-time from after the pact is made (including in and out of any afterlives he would normally qualify for), BUT in return, he is, in life, death and afterlife, eternally bound to act in the interests of the Wellspring, defending it from unwanted attention or running it’s errands across the world alongside others in his position.

Easily the most informative about how to play the game and what to look out for. Other YGO video makers focus too exclusively on competitive, and pretend Duel Links doesn't exist (which is far more casual friendly). Duel Logs is the only youtuber I've seen acknowledge Duel Links whether directly or pointing out that a card that's bad in the TCG is actually a top threat in Duel links due to the pacing of the game and smaller card base and different ban rules. This kind of stuff really helps bring new and old players into the game. but I do like TGSAnime's analysis on how anime characters could've won other duels with the plays they were given.

One of my favorite decks to run Soul Absorption with back in the day was Meklord Emperor Granel Turbo. Play Soul Absorption and Macro Cosmos, give yourself a ton of LP with Gold Sarcophagus banishing Necroface (a single Soul Absorption would give you 6K LP with this, double or triple that with multiple copies), destroy one of your own monsters and special Granel with 8K+ ATK.

Imagine DL going one video without saying life gain bad.

[@agitpolat1061]

Keep in mind the ONLY reason he says that is because gaining LP isn't a Win Condition, not because the effect is factually bad per se. It's one of those issues that only exist because all his Videos assume Competitive Play, where people straightup don't care about Life Points at all outside of not hitting 0.

[@MarioMastar]

@@agitpolat1061Yeah, his commentary was kind of worse initially because he made it sound like there was absolutely no use of a card because the assumption "people are too dumb to build their deck around using the card". Like WHY would I put a card that forces me to move a card to the graveyard to use the effect...without considering putting monsters with floating or graveyard effects to keep advantage?, or always assuming card advantage is a black and white case where again...the card could WANT to go to the graveyard or the effect is so useful for the situation, going minus 1 doesn't make a difference OR I can just get a bad or good luck draw. Fortunately he kind of stopped including that language and focused more on why particularly a card is bad whether casual or competitive to make it clear he's not insulting people who don't play competitively by bashing thier favorite card, he's now addressing how to use them and genuinely teaching players how to get better and make more use of thier favorite cards. Basically no longer doing like people do in other competitive games where every video is "Don't use this card or deck because...Tears is better, so why would you play a worse deck than a meta deck like Tears?" and I personally blame Konami for being dumb with thier bans and card text for ruining "bad archetypes" by allowing critical cards to be used in more powerful, less restrictive decks. Not DL's fault that Konami made an archetype bad simply cause they want to sell the new shiny cards that literally mill your opponent 10 cards every time you fusion summon and is immune to every effect in the game....

[@agitpolat1061]

@@MarioMastar Huh, really? I never noticed that change, but I certainly welcome it then. He does kinda fall into that Style you mention that other People do whenever he makes one of his "Failed Archetypes" Videos though. You might have noticed it once he started covering Archetypes that aren't outright dumpster-fire garbage (like his Morphtronic Video for example), but really all those Videos boil down to is just "Running this Archetype pure didn't work in the Meta when it came out and here's why" every time. Even ignoring that basically nobody runs Archetypes 100% pure in the first place, why would "not being Meta" mean it outright "failed"?

Soul Absorbtion also does big work in Runick and fountain gives you enough draw power per turn to draw into it reasonably often. If you are going for the deck out win condition, those extra LP + Munin's extra LP will help keep you alive long enough.

[@katelundberg2029]

An underrated life point gain card is... well not one card specifically but actually a combo of three. Aromaseraphy Angelica in the hand, Blessed Winds on the field, and Aromaseraphy Jasmine on the field potentially with Aromage Majoram to make your board relatively immune to battle phase by loading your monsters into zones Jasmine points to. The combo is basically send Angelica to the gy and target a high attack aroma monster in there, it can be any of them but preferably one at least as strong as Aromage Rosemary or Aromaseraphy Jasmine itself for 1800 lp. Then use humid winds to recycle Angelica into your deck for 500 extra lp. Then since you gained lp you can use Jasmine's effect to pull Angelica back into your hand and set up for your opponents turn to repeat the cycle since like Humid Winds Blessed Winds is a continuous trap card and Angelica's pitch is a quick effect. If you have a Bergamot in your gy, the strongest aroma card(iirc), you will gain 2900 lp per turn with this combo and even if you have to substitute humid winds as the searcher over Jasmine that's still 1900 lp even after the cost, and while you're doing this you're getting use some pretty nice aroma effects including banishing cards from your opponents gy with Aromage Majoram(itself a part of the battle lock with Jasmine), drawing cards with aromage Jasmine, return spells and traps to your opponents hands with the green one(the fact I don't know what its called says something about how good it is), being a silly little guy changing battle positions with Aromage Rosemary, negating cards or gaining atk for a turn with Aromaseraphy Rosemary and Bergamot respectively, or destroying cards with Aromaseraphy Sweet Majoram and Dried winds(Aromaseraphy Sweet Majoram can also be added to the board lock to prevent targetting as well). It's a built in slow down to the game and infinite lp combo that can also be shifted slightly to keep your deck filled in deck out scenarios. By no means a good combo against meta decks but it's a silly little combo for silly little people and I'm glad to say I'm a silly little person who's enjoyed it.

[@AloneTheorist]

If you can make a synchro deck that can turbo out level 10 synchro monsters easily, you can quickly get to Number XX: Utopic dark infinity and even more comedically you can combo it with black and white wave; a spell card that specifically requires you to control an xyz monster summoned using a synchro monster as xyz material, which then lets you banish an opponent's card. An easy non synchro monster material to use is Tragoedia, a level 10 monster that can special summon itself from the hand if you take battle damage. Summoning Tragoedia gives you half of the minimum required material for dark infinity. You might also be able to get away with using a non restrictive/archetypical rank up magic card on a rank 8-9 monster to rank up into dark infinity depending on how far the rank up card allows you to rank up.

[@GottaBeAHero]

Heal/burn decks are by far my favorite ❤ I'm actually surprised Aroma Jar or Golden Ladybug wasn't on the list.

You don't have to 'hard draw' cauldron of the old man, Ebon sun or soul absorption if you can run The despair Uranus. That card can get you a continuous card(spell or trap)of your choice if you don't already have one on board and can do this on it's summoning. Although being a level 8 light attribute rock type monster does complicate things as unless you have a deck that works with it's attribute or type or can spam summon tributable tokens, you're looking at a kaiser seahorse double summon combo to make this work.😅

Ebon Sun works best in the Inca deck. Revive the Sun/Moon Dragon with 3500-4000 Atk and get back 2500-3000. If couple with Quilla's LP gain effect, that LP gain and atk boost can help em better and gives the deck more lasting power. The discard cost also works for Daywalker and Duskwalker as it can offset the cost especially if couple it with Metalfoes Fusion. They could switch the Egyptian Pyramid for an Inca one and it would essentially be Temple of the Sun on steroids. In fact, it might as well have been designed for the inca deck as it fits it far too well (I'm aware it's Manga version was GX era). It also goes well with DFE which would be an even better use for it.

One honorable mention: Geistgrinder Golem LP gain effect: if Golem battles a “Yubel” monster then the opponent gains 3000 LP, the opponent being you since you’ll usually be summoning it to your actual opponent’s side of the field by revealing a “Yubel” from your hand therefore you’re the one who receives the LP gaining effect. Pros: can be searched (via Nightmare Pain), can bring itself back from the GY if you special summon “Yubel”, stops cards like Evenly Matched (from the hand), Infinite Impermanence (from the hand) and other cards that would require for opponent’s field to be empty or having no [effect] monsters on their side of the field. Cons: heavily reliant on its archetype (Yubel) to bring out, your opponent could potentially use Golem as a resource/material for their plays if given the chance, you yourself can’t normally be used as a resource unless you’re using something like Super Polymerization.

What happens if you have D/D/D Oracle King D’ark and your opponent has bad reaction to simochi and he activates ''gift card"?

[@Thegrimreaper719]

Hi

[@BYERE]

Cauldron is great, but when it’s so easy to destroy backrow cards, and given how slow it is to give or take LPs, your opponent’s hardly going to let it stay on the field for any huge amount of time

[@realsuperwolfes]

This guy is pretty interesting. He should start a KZbin channel

[@vanessam93900]

What about Ghost Sister & Spooky Dogwood? While it is dependent on your opponent special summoning monsters, you can easily gain tens of thousands of LP since your opponent is less likely to end their combo early if it's just giving you LP and not a bunch of cards like Maxx "C".

[@boogliejooglie3700]

I can't believe you didn't mention solemn wishes the card that gives you life points every time you draw a card

[@TheYeks]

Number XX is really easy to bring out onto the field imo with Hyper Rank up along with like number 99 utopic Dragon always getting 4000 LP a turn

[@espaniolisto]

I was out healing a blue eyes player in dueling thanks to cauldron. Seriously I had three of them on the field and was out healing 10 000 HP per turn. That was a funny match

[@eerieeric834]

I feel like these cards would be good in a wing dragon of raw deck that way you can make life, points go to one and the then regain all your life points back

[@ariavachier-lagravech.6910]

Also known as Top 10 cards Mr. Logs would potentially use for funny toxic gimmick decks

[@MarioMastar]

Shout outs to Crazy box. XD He made that clear in his "Top 10 cards with bad gamble effects" and stated "despite that, Crazy box is his favorite card cause it makes duels really exciting instead of predictable".

[@arutemu39]

One day they will release a Fire Princess retrain/archetype and then life gain will be a meta strategy. A duelist is allowed to dream, right?

[@huyhoang6875]

Honorable mention to Solemn Wishes for aiding me through my first days of stalling

[@kyleirvin5461]

Top 10 idea...if it hasn't been done. Top 10 cards designed for an archetype but work better in other decks.

[@austinhirsch1818]

I once got to 50,000 using soul absorption. It's amazing in Nemurelia

[@azuredragoon2054]

Top 10 Fusion Monsters that can attack more than once per battle phase

[@mask9306]

Suggestion: best/worst 'token generators'.

[@olyviermonteau4300]

Freezing fire can be used in nurse burn as well

[@ianbraun271]

That was mentioned in the video

[@residentgrey]

Darklord Marie. Neat tech.

[@Pereira99155]

As a Sacred Beasts player I have 3 Awakening of the Sacred Beasts in my deck and the amount of life points I gain is ridiculous.

[@davidalexander4076]

Golden beetle! You reveal that bad boy in your hand and gain 500LP every turn. If you got all three in your hand that's 1500LP every turn you get

[@EpicSmasher2]

Top 10 Number Monsters for the next list 😁

[@starwarzfan71]

Im kinda surprised solemn wishes wasn’t listed if your deck has high draw power like mine does you can really spam its effect(only takes 4 turns tops to go through most of my deck)

[@CD-Gaming]

Somehow, I think Soul Absorption being Searchable would make it pretty overpowered, if we're being fair, I play it in my Custom Deck based on the 8 Legendary Dragons from Final Fantasy VI, who all have the Effect that, if they would be sent to the Graveyard, they are instead Banished and you gain a Dragon's Den Counter, which, when you have 8, allows you to Summon out Kaiser Dragon from the Extra Deck, here a Fusion Monster (I thought of the big Boss Monster weakness when creating it), who, as in the GBA and iOS versions of the game, once you beat all 8 normally, while you get the Crusader Esper, like you do in the SNES, PlayStation and Pixel Remaster, in those other two versions, you also unlock an entire new dungeon, where you have to fight through all 8 again, but powered up and under eight different Special Conditions, these being largely reflected in their Effects! Kaiser has no ATK, but you can use a Counter to save him and the Field Spell, which gains its own Counters every time you Summon a Dragon, and he also can gain the Effect of any one Banished Dragon as a Quick Effect once per turn and their effects scare even me! This is the only Deck I'm actually scared of, not least of all cuz it's incomplete! And I abuse Red Resonator in my Red Dragon Archfiend Deck, not least of all cuz I can easily get 3500 Life Points... then it's my opponent's Turn! Have fun dealing with Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss on 3500 ATK, Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons and Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! (Oh, by the way, I also have Red Reboot and Starlight Road face-down as well! No, you're a troll!) And since I'm feeling generous, I think I might jus bring out Star Eater, also on 3500 ATK next turn, cuz I can do that, you know! (And it keeps the ATK boost when attacking, as well, I've tried it!) Or I could go into Baronne de Fleur... cuz I can do that, you know! (Both on Master Duel where I use that Deck all the time (if you've seen me on there, you'll probably already know) and also in real life, as I got two Baronne from the Anniversary Pack!) That Ebon Sun... if you were to play, ooh, I don't know, say Interrupted Kaiju Slumber, while you have, say, Ghidorah on the Field (that's +3300 Life Points), you would not only get another Kaiju out, but it can also trigger Dark Hole Dragon's effect as well... I think I might jus try it out there, jus for shits and giggles! And the Mechanic is "Xyz", NOT "XYZ"!

[@Luna-Starfrost]

Soul Absorption and Kashtira, maybe? >_>

[@stevenpbroughton]

Kashtira with 3 soul absorptions, the effects stack if u get more than 1

[@eerieeric834]

How about a top 10 best or worse, anime, exclusive archetypes / cards
