Top 10 Cards That Were Overhyped By The Community, But Ended Up Not Performing Very Well

[@ShyRanger]

Good countdown idea, another suggestion could be the opposite, cards underhyped but ended up performing very well. Example being how when Gladiator Beasts came out, most people didn't give it time of day since DAD ws still around, but then Gladiators performed super will at tournaments, to the point that next year everyone was expecting them to be the next unstoppable thing, but then Tele-DAD was as thing.

[@alex_zetsu]

Honestly if it discarded for effect and returned the banish cards if destroyed, it might see some use. Missing the fact that it discards as a cost is something that some tournament players kept messing up back then (none of the top players did and nowadays even the lower tournament players don't, but back then you always had some guys confused every event). The fact that your opponent can MST it means you lose those cards does mean it's pretty useless since you can't just play 6 spells to get 3 of the 5 cards back and I don't see why people realize that makes this really bad and I don't see why people didn't realize that.

[@HiggsBoson42]

The Dark World structure is an interesting case since while it didn't generate many tops at the time, it generally considered to strongest deck of Fire-Water format(January 2014), and only major change to Dark World was that there were good rank 8s to go into, and this was format with Firefist, Mermail, and XYZ Infernity in it.

[@imsrchris2052]

In Duel Links Noble Knights became a tier 1 deck because they used a skill that almost guaranteed giving you a monster, a spell and trap, the monster and the spell themselves being like a +80% chance to open with both. So you had a really high chance to open with merlin or medraut + an equip spell or the quick play that equips in order to guarantee your gemini effects, and sometimes an additional trap or book of moon as a disruption. Only that kind of set up made them a top tier deck, but when the skill got nerfed, the deck dropped instantly to rogue and it's currently a fun deck, probably one of the best funs, but barely does it to rogue

[@roanoke42]

Balance Noble Knights you will not be missed. Definitely did not enjoy losing every time I lost the coin toss.

[@kimura2176]

and after some years noble knights was made meta in DL due to the skill Balance allowing you to open full combo 90% of the times and making a turn 1 that nothing at the time could beat and fallen into obscurity once balance got nerfed

[@TonyExists]

Also worth noting that the structure deck was released at a great time for it. Cuz had Nobles come out any later they would have have been blown out of the water

[@the_overt_designs]

one of the best memories i have from DL is making NK work before the structure deck came out, right when the first batch of Xyz were released in the game. It was a OTK deck (potenially FTK if going second) exploiting Zubaba General and Joey's power that granted 200 attack to all warriors you own. As long as you drew Medraut or Lundsallyn, if i remember correctly, you could go into Zubaba, equip a 1800+ monster from the hand and go face through an open board cleared by Drystan and Arfeudutyr for game. It worked pretty consistently and had a good amount of tools to survive and keep up with value if it didn't otk. Started to drop off when Blue Eyes became the meta staple but i still love that little deck

A big reason Dark World never did as well as it should have it because a lot of people decided to cut some of the most powerfull cards like cards destruction and dark world dealings because they were just an instant loss to blindly use in the mirror match resulting in much weaker versions of the deck and the deck not being able to compete

[@jahir1976]

This. I used to play yugioh when i was a kid for fun so i had a bunch of old cards. Then later on I decided to go back and play during the dragon ruler meta. I only played local level so there were only a couple of duelist that actually used dragon ruler. There were a couple of dark world players including my friend. I asked him why no one used dark deal and he said he's never heard of that card. I told him that was weird since it sounded like a very broken card. I had anout 6 copies of it from my pile of old cards and gave some of them to him. He proceeded to win a couple of local tournaments because of it and people were seeing it for the first time even the dragon ruler players couldnt believe the effect of the card. It was really funny every time he pulled it out.

I can't disagree with you about Noble Knights, but I love them just the same. I played them a lot in Duel Links and they were the only time I spent real money to try and build an optimal Noble Knight deck. I had a ton of fun with them... until Harpies became Tier 1 Meta and every other player was summoning Cyber Slash Harpie Lady... I still play the Noble Knights on occasion.

[@alfred8878]

Noble knights was actually my first deck in duel links back when i was playing. It carried me to platinum. It is a good deck if you have all the cards you need in your hand to start your combo. But when the Harpie Ladies became a tier 1 meta deck, I've had a hard time countering it with noble knights. So i had to change my deck. I settled down with burning abyss and it did me good too.

[@BatmannotBruceWayne1]

I remember when noble knights became good in duel links, it caused a resurgence in sacred Phoenix decks, as they hard countered it (they hadn’t received the ritual support to my knowledge at the time, and had lost its place in the meta for a few seasons)

[@MagnusXL]

As a Lair of Darkness enjoyer, I can't really refute your points. It has a lot of issues, but if you can get established it works really well. The problem being that the entire deck really falls apart when the field spell dies and it has no inherent protection whatsoever.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

I use lair of darkness as a tech option in my ogdoadic deck. The deck itself is pretty slow and bricks sometimes, but I feel like adding lair adds a fair bit of consistency to it. As long as you can get Keurse in the grave, you can always have a play live by tributing your opponent's monster to bring itself back out. And if I don't draw it or it gets destroyed, it's fine since the deck still has control strategies without it, it's just a nice bonus when it's there and draws the opponent's focus away from disrupting my other plays. As powerful as the card is, I think a whole deck dedicated around just that is indeed too prone to disruption

[@18nightc322]

Yeah, and even if you do get out beat cop that only protects against destruction

[@skepticskeleton1064]

As a Lair of Darkness player I've actually not had many problems with it, especially when combined with kaijus, sphere mode, and viruses. Now To be fair, the field spell absolutely needs protection but usually duels don't last long enough for it to really matter in my personal experience. The deck can absolutely brick and I 100% believe that Lair needs protection but if you time your strategy you can win in a single turn before your opponent has the chance to get rid of it.

[@MagnusXL]

@@skepticskeleton1064 Yeah. I too run it with viruses (and Fang of Critias because it's cool and I really wanted to run Doom Virus Dragon) with some degree of success, but I'm also playing in Platinum/Diamond Master Duel instead of a "real" format.

[@superskrub4209]

Exactly my experience, I was pretty much building it assuming I couldn't use Lair

[@Novoxis]

Lair of Darkness is still a fun card to play around; I made a Lair of Mahad where the goal was to have Mahad's double ATK power always live because everything was Dark. Though I love using Lair of Darkness to summon Sphere Mode on my opponent then tribute it with Advance Draw to clear the field and get two cards.

14:18 The “Noble” archetype’s main woe to me seems like the inherent weaknesses of Equip Spell Cards, so perhaps some general equip spell support tied to the them could help…. _Armory Of The Noble._ Continuous Spell Card _When you summon a “Noble” monster, or destroy a card by battle or effect using a “Noble” monster, you can add 1 equip spell card to your hand from your deck or GY. Once per turn, you can treat any number of monsters equipped with equip spell cards as tuners until the beginning of your next turn. When you XYz summon a monster, you can attach any equip spell cards attached to its materials to it as materials. During the battle phase, you can target 1 equip spell card in your hand and one on the field, banish the card in your hand; the targeted equip spell on the field gains the banished cards name and effects while face up on the field until the end of your turn._

[@terry4751]

Sure but i think the deck need a good boss monster too For example Noble knight of the darkness Fusion/effect/tuner( mabe some uses i dont know) 2 warrior monster You can fusion summon this card by banishing 3 noble knight monsters from your hand or gy When this card is fusion summoned add noble knight card to your hand Once per turn during either players turn send a equip card to the gy(can be your opponent equip card) to destroy one card on the field Once per turn you can banish 2 equip card to add all of you banished noble knight cards to your hand. This card cannot be activated during the turn its summoned. You can only activate each effect of this card once per turn.

[@DeitySkullKid]

When you summon a noble monster, or when you destroy a card, instead go for benkei otk, gotcha, might wanna limit what can be searched somehow Also , Jesus in that lack of OPT effects, how many cards are you wanting me to add to hand? You can just keep going. Actually yeah, that during the battle phase non OPT, let's just, y'know, banish a card, give attack boost or something, then swap to allow double attack, then boost attack again/search again, not to mention it doesn't need to target an equip equipped to a noble monster, especially with all the free equip cards I just searched, this is literally just an equip otk turbo card Or y'know, also just get halq out This was NOT thought out

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@terry4751 Of course. My logic was with the above card, being able to treat monsters equipped with Equip Spells as tuners AND allowing XYZ monsters to use said equip spell cards as additional materials would go hand in hand with the archetypes already existing extra deck monsters, while being general enough to see use with other kinds of decks.

Crsystal Seer: Only used it in video games because it is in the starter deck. Dark World barely got a boost and they up and gave it an R just to try and fix it. Lair of Darkness is annoying, but not great. It’s crazy how different the OCG and TCG are despite sharing most of the meta relevant cards at any time. I forget about Naturia Pineapple at times. Honestly if I touch the archetype, then it is in sealed, Cherries in Over the Nexus and the synchros. Magical Musket is still fun to play. Just because it isn’t meta doesn’t make it bad for a good time. I never actually understood Spell Chronicle. If it could avoid being destroyed, sure, but even in the anime it felt so bad. I feel like I was the only who liked the column cards in CDIP and I do like how Senet Switch just got support because it is one of the few cards that can move other cards more than once. Sea Monster of Theseus is one of my favorite fusions and just because I enjoy weird decks like Zombie Fusion. I have made so many versions. I like Noble Knights, but I also get why it isn’t that great outside of certain cards. Infernoble is just better and is more focused on synchro summoning which I just like more as a mechanic than Xyz summoning.

Different ban lists will do that in the case of TCG and OCG relevant cards. Also the TCG and OCG exclusives.

@@Observe-h1t nice! I probably should have experimented more. Like with most decks i get the basics down and wander to others. I get lost in the sauce. lol

[@Observe-h1t]

@@FullUhFools i run pure dark world and their consistency is insane that i can fill my hand so easily with Grapha and Reign-Beaux combo, I'm currently testing them with Slifer deck to get even more insane draw power or with Obelisk to get those juicy damage.

@@Observe-h1t my tiny brain just couldn't figure out how to get them discarded to the grave. 😂Even though now I'm thinking theres probably hundreds I need to look for.

[@doomzilla3568]

Dang shame such hyped cards or certain archetypes that has so much potential that can be popular in the meta game but ultimately fall short in the long run as the metagame is constantly ever changing in a very fast rate which the hyped promised cards can't keep up at all.

[@BrandonSwinney-j2v]

with senet switch. I only learned about the hype after links had been out for a little while, and thought the hype had been about moving monsters to free up your link arrows, rather than moving from emz to main, and ground collapse would theoretically be used similarly to block the zones next to the unoccupied emz

[@Vlidery13]

Also let's not forget Theseus's first printing was misprinted 😂

[@andrewc.4471]

As someone who just started playing with Master Duel. Noble Knights is absolutely my favorite deck. The art is so good and I do like the playstyle. I think they are at a point where one more wacs of good support would make them a competent rogue deck. A good boss, better starter option and like a toolsy link monster could vastly lift the deck.

[@dustinvance243]

They aren't getting a better link monster than Isolde. Although I do agree they need a new boss monster. An Xyz monster that can stack itself on top of other noble knight xyz monsters would go a long way since it lessens their reliance on Excalibur for ranking up. They could also use a new synchro monster and a new tuner that isn't lady of the lake.

[@andrewc.4471]

I didn't necessarily mean a better link just one more attuned to the deck. Like a link 1 or a climb off isolde. Now if they added better starters or main deck monsters that would also work as you have good targets for isolde now. Totally though a good boss would go a long way because the Arthur's just don't do anything on the opponents turn. A wave of support that like serves to tie Infernoble in with NK could also be sick.

[@synthiaxerror]

I love your videos, they calm my overall existence anxiety. Anyway i take a look at your other channels, and you should be a staple card in a deck Titans of Work.

[@royaldayz18]

I distinctly remember that people were also hyping up Elementsabers as "the next Zoo" due to their ability to basicallyy turn every monster in the archetype into foolish burial. But then it turns out its nowhere near good enough, hell its probably one of the few vrains-era archetypes I can think of that never once got more than a single wave of support. Even the likes of Metaphys and Tindangle dodged this fate

[@swisschese1323]

Yo Spell Chronicle straight up got the Morbius treatment

[@randomprotag9329]

it was a really good thing that cross out was overhyped cause if cross out is a staple handtraps are too powerful or the meta needs more vierity

[@arrownoir]

That’s why they just limited it in MD, HTs are running rampant there.

[@randomprotag9329]

@@arrownoir my thinking that the ban list is not based on a card seeing too much use and then a check to see if its an issue, with a check for niche problematic cards. they also check a list of cards that even if identified as a problem they will ban around which would explain why cross out was hit despite max c making it a staple.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@arrownoir How about… And I’m just winging it here… An anti-hand trap monster that doesn’t do much else besides ignore and counter hand traps… Ley me try: _Hand-Trapper_ (EARTH) Level 4 Warrior/Tuner/Effect _This card is unaffected by cards or effects that activate from your opponents hand. Once per turn (quick effect), when your opponent would activate a card or effect from their hand, you can negate that effect, then equip that card to this card, and if you do this card gains the following effects based on what kind of card it was:_ ⚫️Monster: This card gains ATK/DEF equal to the ATK/DEF of any monsters equipped to this card. ⚫️Spell: When you would use this card as material for an Xyz Summon, you can attach cards equipped to this card as material for that Xyz Monster. ⚫️Trap: Once per turn this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effect each ATK/1500 DEF/1500

[@Zetact_]

I seem to recall people saying that Exosister would be tier 0 after their new support got announced and then when it was released, even with waifu bump bonus and a meta that the deck is suited to counter it's just barely on the edge of rogue.

[@Hanandro-C]

It did get top 1 recently

[@Zetact_]

@@Hanandro-C So did Sky Striker but it's still barely even something that would be considered rogue nowadays.

[@ContraryASMR]

"Noble Knight equip spells are good against Shaddoll Construct" is one of the funniest bits of troll-logic ever put out by Konami

I would love to see bad cards in otherwise good archetypes or the opposite, good cards in otherwise bad archetypes. Another great video DL!

[@Ruby_Mullz]

The only deck I remember playing Sea Monster Of Theseus was cyber dragon since u could if and cyber dragon to make Ultimya Tzolkin to summon crystal wing. So with a good hand u could end on infinity crystal wing.

[@trentonalbers3981]

I thought the War Rock archetype would be on the list for sure. I still love the Dark World archetype even though the monsters can’t activate their effects if they are discarded for a cost. Hopefully the new Dark World deck coming out in 2023 will help one of my favorite archetypes.

[@Onyxs]

War Rock probably isn’t on here because it wasn’t hyped up by anyone and everyone knew it was trash from the start

[@trentonalbers3981]

@Onyxs: I remember watching a video that said there were a lot of people excited about War Rocks just because they thought the artwork looked cool. Then the card effects were revealed and they turned out to be disappointing. I respect your opinion though.

[@thomasrico9227]

Idk if you’ve done it yet but a top 10 meta breaking decks list or a top 10 combo decks list would be cool

Love your naration, and your videos, but its time I move on from your channel as I do not know most of these cards, and I don't play yugioh at all - but it was a good ride with you, best of times. :)

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@madjester9844]

Video idea: Top 10 cards themed around a number Examples: Number 7 Lucky Straight, having 7 in the name, being a rank 7 and requiring to obtain a sum of 7 with dice to trigger its effect; Evil Twin ki-sikil and li-la, being 2 twins, requiring the tribute of 2 monsters to be special summoned and leaving the opponent with inly 2 cards with its effect; Trishula dragon of the ice barrier, which is the 3rd dragon of the ice barrier, has 3 heads, requires 3 materials and banishes 3 cards

[@SirBanners]

Seeing noble knights at #1 made me sad, since they're one of my fave decks/archetypes

[@FentonHardyFan]

Yeah, me too. If I were a character in one of the animes I would definitely play Noble Knights.

[@Sokaras3]

Could we have a video explaining what TCG exclusive archetypes are and a quick round up/listing of those archetypes? It is actually hard at times to find a proper list of which archetypes started out as TCG exclusive

[@sirknightjcb9310]

The ironic fact about Noble Knights is, say it with me now. *In Yugioh Duel Links*, they were a Tier 1 strategy due to how much they abuse Balance to the point that the Skill became heavily nerfed. Thanks again for ruining my D/D/D and Triamid strategies.

[@TheWonkster]

With Max, MM's are really really really stupidly fun to play. The problem is that your win con usually ends up being utopia double double or nothing running over a 0 attack monster with a negated effect because they didn't actually give them any kind of power card.

[@JackSpadeVT]

Ngl when I first understood how Link Monsters worked, I kinda thought Senet Switch *could* have some niche tech options

[@arsyadionugraha8645]

Dark World was my first and favorite deck. I can imagine the hype from peoples when it was released. Searcher, drawer, destroyer, ez to swarm, anything But since the card only activated it wasn't cost, it dropped the hype so much. Card like hand destruction can't be used During the early days, Dark World really depends on their spell. Monster without spell is useless and vice versa (danger wasn't available back on that day) When proper support cards came, it was too late. Other meta deck already having higher speed and good eff But I still love and play them to this day. Can't imagine if DW dominate the meta. Mirror match can be pain in the ass

[@zhangbill1194]

danger! dark world is such a cool combo deck

[@fan0fhal038]

I personally can't wait until the new DW structure deck coming out this december for TCG, time to update my DW deck

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

So I can’t think of when the following happened, but I imagine it was probably when Konami first announced the new time rules. It’s been awhile so I could be wrong about the reason. Anyway, I used to be a seller on TCGPlayer until a little while after the pandemic began. I was sitting on 40-50 copies of Wave Motion Cannon I had accumulated from my years of collection buying. Out of nowhere someone bought the five that I had listed. Any time I sold more than a playset of something I would look further into it. I saw that there were zero copies of it left on the site and T&T was out too, so I posted another five copies for about $10 dollars higher. They were immediately bought out. I repeated that process a few times until i finally posted the last 10 copies I had for I think $50 dollars a piece. It may have been even more than that but I can’t remember. I just know the price they sold for was absolutely absurd and I made a killing that day. I don’t recall the card ever actually doing anything competitively.

[@deathmankid]

I remember Abyss Actor Wild Hope being overhyped for no reason, the week of their release

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Flip monsters as a whole need more support to be halfway viable in this day and age anyway…. _You Done Flipped-Up!_ Quick-Play Spell _You can tribute any number of monsters on your side of the field; Normal or special summon (your choice) any number of Flip monsters from your Hand, deck or Extra deck who’s levels/ranks are equal or less then the combined levels/ranks/link-ratings of the monsters tributed. If this set card is activated, this card cannot be negated and cards and effects cannot be activated in response. You can banish this card from your GY; Flip 1 flip monster you control facedown, then flip facedown any number of cards on the field up the the level/rank of the monster flipped._

[@runningoncylinders3829]

Subterror and Krawler, and The Tindangler are fantastic decks that are irritating as all getout to face the full setup of. If anything the problems with Flip are far and away less than Gemini where the entire mechanic is a detriment. They just need like a Link or Quick Spell or something to speed up in some cases. Even Prediction Princess are a Ritual Deck that does not hinder Flip and can use Deus X Krawler.

[@jotobrosmusic3928]

that's good. make it 1 effect per 2 turns to make it more fair, cause now this can literally be a 2-card +4-5 with any lv4 normal summon (it's still a +3 or 4, but more fair imo). Something like: If an effect of "You Done Flipped-Up!" was activated during the turn after this card's activation while this card is either in your GY or banished: Negate that effect. You can only activate 1 effect of "You Done Flipped-Up!" per turn. OR MAYBE You can only use any effect of ""You Done Flipped-Up!" during your turn only. You can only activate 1 effect of "You Done Flipped-Up!" per turn (made it activate so it's a little more forgiving, since it will literally be THE ash target of the MILLENIUM if it existed).

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@jotobrosmusic3928 What if I play into the name of the card and make it so your opponent has do make an action first (which would play into the name while making it harder to use on demand), but I can reallocate some of the lost power by including pendulum scales and monsters in pendulum zones (So if tribute a level 4 pendulum monster with a level 4 scale I get to summon up to 8 levels worth of flip monster.). _You Done Flipped-Up!_ Quick-Play Spell _When your opponents declares an attack or activates a card or effect, You can tribute any number of monsters in your monster or pendulum zones; Normal or special summon (your choice) any number of Flip monsters from your Hand, deck or Extra deck (face-up or facedown) who’s levels/ranks are equal or less then the combined levels/ranks/link-ratings/Pendulum-Scales of the monsters tributed.
