Top 10 Cards That Protect Your Backrow in Yugioh

[@MrCegeb]

Let me make a correction to 11:35 If you negate the 'activation' of Spell/Trap which says "You can only activate 1 per turn" You can activate it again if you have another copy. However, if the activation is not negated, say only its effect is negated, such as Imperial Order or Hot Red Dragon Archfiend. Then you cannot Lightning Again. However, Spell/Trap or monster which says "You can only use each effect once per turn" You cannot activate again, regardless. For example, Solemn Judgment on Thunder Dragon Fusion prevents activation of second copy for the rest of this turn. Hope that helps.

[@MACA_Zeon]

Exactly

[@hikaritsumi2123]

I was confused about this ruling too, since this also applies to monster card.

[@michaelwang3439]

@@hikaritsumi2123 it’s just all about the wording of a card. Negate activation vs negate effect. Can activate once per turn vs can only be used once per turn.

[@hikaritsumi2123]

@@michaelwang3439 I negated the effect of "Splash mage" with Ghostbelle and it can still be activated later so I'm digging into this ruling. If what you said is true then I'm understanding things correct.

[@michaelwang3439]

@@hikaritsumi2123 yeah for some reason ghost belle is the only ghost girl hand traps that negates activation instead of effect.

Lord of the Heavenly Prison is on my shortlist as soon as it gets added to Master Duel. That card is amazing.

[@nowaif9144]

They just released Dawn of Majesty cards in MD a week ago so it will probably take 2 months for Lord to be released since it came with Burst of Destiny.

6:52 The Sanctum of Parsath specifically protects ALL set cards. Not just your own , but you opponent's as well The card also combos VERY WELL with Darklords, not only givin them that extra 300 atk/def , but also by letting you consistently recycle Ixchel, Indulged and Morningstar

[@Entei9000]

Judgement of Anubis has always had a special place in my heart, especially when Heavy Storm became legal after the first time it was banned in the Synchro era. I know it's a bit too specific to be competitive but it's always super satisfying when you can successfully activate it.

[@danielpritchard510]

Unfortunately it's too specific if it wasn't limited to spells I'd run it even with the discard

[@Nighfallion]

It should be noted that Starlight Road is a "when" trigger on a spell speed 2 card, and can miss timing by getting chain-blocked or etc. Compare this with Kanzashi the Rikka Queen, who has an "if" protection effect for plant monsters that is infinitely better because of the "if" trigger. As someone who've played Starlight Road extensively, I still find Boo-Boo Game to be overall better in my Traptrix deck -- especially with Trap Trick in the deck. I think TheHiruLogs should be more careful to point this out in the script (in which he said "if") in the future. Great video overall tho. 8 thumbs up. Also, shout-out to Anti-Spell Fragrance for protecting back-row one turn against common (and very powerful) spell-based back-row clears.

[@motxmod]

Also THRIO has the advantage that you don't need 2 cards to be at risk to activate such as the opponent using Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, or Black Rose when they also have a card at risk. It can even stop many Igknight effects.

[@Nighfallion]

@@motxmod I agree with you there. I thought Starlight Road being higher was kinda iffy too.

[@motxmod]

I juggled both in my Watt deck back in the 5D's era. THRIO tended to be better but Starlight was nice for the beater.

[@williamdrum9899]

From what I understand, counter traps that say "When your opponent does X" miss timing for cards that say "Do X, then do Y". For example a counter trap whose activation condition says "When your opponent draws a card:" would NOT work on Upstart Goblin which says "Draw 1 card, then your opponent gains 1000 LP"

[@leoanime1723]

You could say that but nobody ever has a follow up to destruction it's just destroy or bate a negate and return to open gamestate

[@nicks8060]

Niche honorable mention: judgment of Anubis. It requires a discard, and can only activate against spells, but is a counter trap and can pop a monster afterwards + some burn damage. It is niche, but also just a rare in master duel

Dragon but only from hand), Trial of the Princesses (brings one of two princesses, with an awful requirement), etc etc. Top 10 cards that go -1. A lot of categories fit in here. Burn cards like Magical Explosion, mill cards like Foolish Burial / Grass (the right mills can go +, but in a vacuum it does nothing), non-destroying negates like Infinite Impermanence, cards that need an extra cost like Karma Cut or Monster Gate, cards that cycle through the deck like Card Destruction or Dragged Down into the Grave, tribute engines like Mass Driver, cards that only change the board positions like Book of Moon or Quaking Mirror Force, etc etc

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

Honorable mention to sea stealth attack, as long as you can banish a water monster, which ssa lets you banish them, you can protect your face up spell or traps. Sadly it’s just face up but most cards used in water decks are face up. Like umi and it’s forms, ssa, sea stealth 2, tornado wall. Can also be good with gravity bind or area limit lv b and legendary ocean with lv 4 now lv 3 water monsters. And many others. Now it’s only good in water decks and they aren’t meta currently, (but could be again depending on what comes off the ban list) Considering 1/2 of this list doesn’t actually protect anything and this is very strong protection for its archetype thought it at least deserved a honorable mention.

Another card to consider would be White Dragon Ninja whose effect is that Spells/Traps you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. The downside being that it cannot be special summoned expect with a "Ninjitsu Art" card's effect.

I'd mention the Blue-Eye Jet Dragon package, which is 1 Jet, 1 BEWD, and 2-3 Dragon Shrine if you have something to proc Jet reliably, which might be really easy. Using Shrine will dump both BEWD and Jet to GY, bonus point if you're using dragon monsters that can benefit from other copies of Shrine, then you just need any card on the field to be destroyed to get Jet out once every single turn and protect all other cards from destruction. Jet also has battle protection on itself by being able to bounce any card at begin of the damage step, which is often the card that is about to kill it. The only drawback is of course the BEWD brick but it's not too terrible if you have cards that discard for cost.

[@EntropicUsername]

List idea: Best cards that can negate spell speed 4 effects. It's just a weird interesting thing some cards can do in weird ways, generally if they're already established. Like Fabled Unicore, Ms. Judge, and Cerulean Skyfire.

[@lightning2279]

From my personal experience playing backrow/control decks I honestly like dark bribe and huge revolution more over judgement. People always pretend halving your life points more than once is no big deal till your life points are just low enough for your opponent to end you via battle damage or some gimmicky effect damage.

[@motodog242]

That’s why you take advantage of the negate and win. Adding more fluff to your deck is more harmful, instead of drawing a game ender, you drew another counter to give your opponent one more turn, and in Dark Bribe’s case, another resource. Just one Imperial Order has canceled many back row destructions, and I’ve won with 200-300 lp’s left from the maintenance cost of that trap.

[@lightning2279]

@@motodog242 Modern backrow removal today usually consists of harpie's feather duster, lightning storm, and twin twisters. All of which can immediately trigger huge revolution without having to halve your life points. If you know your foe is coming at you with these cards back to back in game two and you can pick 3 copies of the same counter trap to protect yourself just a free negate and banish will always sound better to me over halving your life points potentially 3 times. The card can also negate monster effects that destroy too unlike judgement which is a crucial ability in the modern era.

tbh honest solemn card being a UR is overrated. u need 6 card (judgment and strike) in your deck to really protect your backrow, and it destroys (many card immune to destory), not to mention the LP cost.

I love Dark Bribe and always felt like it was super slept on. I used to max it in Rock Stun in 2009 over Solemn Judgment. Since we were a Royal Oppression deck and that card was already so good at shutting down the format, the cards we cared about negating the most were stuff like Heavy Storm and Icarus Attack to protect Oppression. Plus letting them draw for negating their Heavy Storm didn't really hurt us since that meant whatever they were drawing wasn't an out to Oppression.

[@hail2jigglypuff168]

Thanks, I'm making a true Trap Monster Deck and I need everything I can get and then some. There's an xyz Number 66: Master Key Beetle who is also a pretty solid option. For just one xyz material it can protect any other card you control, facedown or not, for as long as N66 is kept on the field. So this card can protect your most important backrow cards or even other protection. on the field as soon as turn 1, still protects them even after they activate, and only takes up a slot in your Extra Deck. But keep in mind N66 requires two Dark Level 4's, it has a lousy excuse for self protection, it can't target itself and it's effect is not a quick effect. There's also Card Guard, who is pretty much a one-use Master Key Beetle when Summoned that can protect even after it leaves the field, and is not a hopt. If you can find ways to reuse a Level 4 Dark Fiend consistently it will be well worth your trouble, and it can be used as material for N66. Most Stardust Synchros are great backrow support for decks that can Synchro Summon. It's tricky but if you do choose to go down this route the ultimate option is probably Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon who is about as heavy duty protection as you can get. Shooting Majestic Star Dragon is also a great option.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

I had a fun idea for card protection: an effect monster with high defense with the following effect: _while this face up card is out on the field, monsters with a different original name directly next this monster, and spells/traps you control in the same column as this monster, cannot be destroyed._

[@phillymccheesy4587]

Small thing about Dark Bribe, since it negates the activation, they CAN activate Lightning Storm again, since 'negating activation' treats it as though the card never got played in the first place. If it were to 'negate effect', the game would recognize that the card was played, and that it just never got to resolve. Meaning their one Lightning Storm activation would be wasted.

Although probably not good enough for the top 10, but still worthy of an honorable mention - I like using Judgement of Anubis in Master Duel It's a counter trap where if your opponent activates a spell that would destroy any of your spells or traps, you can discard 1 to Negate and destroy that card, and if you do you can also choose 1 Monster your opponent controls and destroy that as well.

A lot of cards that destroy both one of your card and one of your opponent tend to do so in two steps, so it won't proc. An exception would be board wipes like dark hole, which probably will destroy 2 of your monsters anyways. Still, it's a nice niche edge.

As a continuous spell card, it is vulnerable to Lighting Storm and MST clones. It seems to me that Boo-Boo Game would be better and since I usually don't run mono type decks even if I'm heavy on a type, putting in Mana Dragon Zirnitron and Starlight Road are also better. Like wouldn't a Lightning Storm just blow up Sanctuary, then since it's no longer on the field all my set traps are gone?

[@yettel8shrjriene922]

oh damn, boo-boo game is a decent sidedeck card for that new labrynth archetype.

[@AloneTheorist]

Dark bribe is more of a general protection/utility card than back row protection as it can negate or change effects like drawing or searching via spell and traps for example hit reinforcement of the army, the search for a warrior monster becomes a draw 1 card under dark bribe, pot of greed gets halved, polymerization becomes draw 1 card instead of a fusion summon and quick play spells become draw 1 card effects instead of their regular useful utility. Allowing the opponent to draw more cards is NEVER really a good idea but can be preferable to effects that can let them outright win the game as drawing a random card mid combo can disrupt the Combo.

[@baliaza4485]

Now there is a good combo in a dark magician deck that protects your back row and dark magicians as well. Although it is specific, I always like to point out that these aren't the only cards that protect your back row

[@mr.skellybones5257]

A video I would like to see would be top 10 wyrm cards (including spells and traps) because wyrm is one of my all time favorite types because of decks like metaphys, tenyi, and swordsoul.

[@chefytaxd7517]

Alternative title : top 10 cards that make You hate Even more eldriche

[@HapsterHap]

Noticing the #1 spot on this list is also level 10. Ugh

[@The1Amazing1MSA]

Can you do a Top 10 Decks to play with in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel? I'd love to hear your take on this question.

[@henloitsdiego]

Did Stardust have a ruling change? the card text (for Stardust) shown in the video says nothing to indicate it can't be cheesed out using Starlight Road and be able to return during the end phase.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

According to the wiki, both the OCG and pre-Konami take over TCG have rulings that Stardust Road doesn't count as a Synchro Summon, and that therefore Stardust Dragon may not Special Summon itself from the Graveyard should you Tribute it for its effect.

[@henloitsdiego]

@@LonelySpaceDetective so the card (stardust dragon) should have a "if this card was synchro summoned, you may activate this effect..." In it's text or at least be treated that way

[@TCGunsha]

How about noctovison dragon? It's protect your 1 backrow and draw if used as link material

[@Necroxion]

14:01 I still find it hilarious that this is mainly used in Eldlich - and that users sort of combine what looks like a Bayonetta boss and a fabulous gold boi into a large tank (Liebe) for OTK purposes Also when it came out, the Eldlich players were excited to bring out Tzolkin and not Liebe

[@dudebladeX]

So the first four spots on this list are there to disincentivize your opponent from destroying your back row, while the remaining ones are actual protection. It's probably a good idea to use both though, because by protecting it, you're effectively telling your opponent "Hey! I have some valuable back row that I want to use!" Imagine they use a lot of resources to bring out Accesscode Talker to start blasting back row, only for it to be stolen by something like Gigaclops after sniping Waking the Dragon.

[@dudeoftheyear1260]

Is it possible to make a deck where you keep negating your opponent's summoning or activation of cards effect with the solemns trap card, while gaining life points using prime material dragon? Like a troll deck or something

[@n4dask921]

Top 10 one time offer that happened twice

[@AceBountyHunterRex]

So wait can someone clarify what protecting set spell/traps means. Is that referring to just face down cards or does it also cover face up ones?

[@1stclasswarior]

Video idea: "Top 10 hand traps with a low play rate" Could do a regular or a Master Duel version of the video. Both are probably very similar lists.

[@tyrondavis7970]

im looking for something to protect equip spell and the best options for backrow protection only protect set cards

[@HTheHunter]

One Card that is not as generic as the other cards on this list but actually protects spell and trap cards, at least that who are face-up, is Sea Stealth Attack. So you could argue that is more fitting for this list then cards like Artifact Sanctum. Btw. a there is a little mistacke in the video description. "If you ever played a very back row *have* a deck [...]"

[@sammin101]

I know “top archetypes” isn’t something you wanna do but there’s a few super tiny archetypes. Mokey Mokey is 3 cards (soon to be 4), Shogi is 3 cards, Battleguard is 2? I wonder if any cards reference support they don’t have yet (like wind kinda effigy used to)

[@adamcogan211]

For starlight road, there is nothing stating it has to be summoned properly to get stardust dragon’s effect. I use it in duel links and can always trigger Stardust Dragon’s effects with it.

[@JoaoBlopes]

A sinergy I use to play is to target a trap card i have set and a monster my opponent controls with DPE while showing Lord of the Heavenly Prison

[@sweepinbelle]

Top 10 normal summons with 0 attack, i.e. top 10 cards to search with piri reis map

[@enlongjones2394]

Super-Quantal Fairy Alphan is a good target for his Pantheism-like search effect in his archetype.

[@apollorealms]

D/D Savant Kepler

[@YumeBoi]

Is there a reason why Noctovision dragon was left out? is it too weak or something?

[@safeandsound712]

If I use starlight road to get a stardust dragon on the board, then use assault mode activate to bring out stardust dragon assault mode, I can't float back on destruction into regular stardust dragon can I? Because he wasn't synchro summoned properly? Am I understanding that correctly?

[@NICOCLASH]

You should to a top-10 targets to summon with Waking the dragon from the Main deck. I presume that an eldlich deck wants to punish backrow removal and he can use waking to chat out the golden lord to then trigger the grave effects of the traps destroyed by a feathet duster, to make conquistador live because they have eldlich on the field
