Top 10 Cyberse Monsters OF ALL TIME

Cyberse monsters are effectively synonymous with Link Monsters and Link Summoning. Because of their almost unilateral dominance over such a powerful mechanic, Cyberse monsters have seen some of the most meta play out of any other type in the game for reasons ranging from generic utility to dedicated strategies. In this list, we’ll discuss the best Cyberse monsters currently in the game and explain why they’re such incredible cards.

Definitely Dante. I remember the days when people thought BA decks were busted to hell and back. Every day I hear people calling for either a ban or at least a limit to Dante, Graff, Cir, or Phoenix Wing Blast. None ever happened.

Dragoon in the TCG

[@Frido19]

Linkross, gumblar dragon, and pre errata Firewall dragon are definitive honorable mentions

[@Deathmare235]

Not honourable mentions, should’ve made the list

[@mymetallicarulez]

Firewall maybe should of been on here, but not pre errata since that effect isnt relavent to the game today, but the others definitely not since he does clearly say at the beginning of the video that the cards he's talking about are currently in the game which to me means cards that arent outright banned.

[@Jack_Rakan]

I think all 3 of those are on the 'internal ban list' of cards that appeared enough other lists that Logs decided to no longer put them on other lists so other more niche cards get exposure. Which is neat because otherwise cards like Marinecess Sea Angel wouldn't appear in this list. As a side note, I think Accesscode and maybe Linkuriboh/I.P Maskerena may soon be put on that internal ban list themselves.

[@juksleo6257]

The heatsoul part made me think we should have a top 10 "Plan B" cards. Like Seals, Bagooska, the recently released S:P, and so on

[@justsightseeing1]

its quite small tho.. i don't think it will have 10 out of 10++ card

Heatsoul is one of those cards that would cause all kinds of terror if it ever came to Duel Links.

Feel like Firewall Dragon should have got some love. Even if you aren't including Pre errata, I feel like he is still a massive face of Link summoning in general and the errata-d version is still quite strong

Its a crime that splash mage didn't make it

[@melvinshine9841]

I'm glad DuelLogs put some respect on the Marincess name. Sea Angel *might* be the most important monster in the archetype, but it's hard picking a #2 between Blue Tang, Coral Triangle, and Aqua Argonaut. I'll continue to petition for Best/Worst Dinosaurs and Best/Worst Spellcasters.

[@harry_mckenzie]

Coral Anemone is arguably more important than all of them, and is actually the only Marincess seeing play outside of its deck. Should have been the one in the video

How Avramax didn’t get a placement is beyond me. It’s way better than some of these other cards

[@mavisb.vermilion5881]

I think because it's not generic enough to be used in a greater variety of decks. It's a link 4, when others are mostly used as materials. It can only compete with Accesscode, to which it clearly loses, or Heatleo.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

This gives me an idea for a Cyberse version of “Cyber Dragon”: _Cyberse Dragon_ (LIGHT) Level 5 Cyberse/Effect _This card’s name is also treated as “Cyber Dragon” while face-up on the field or in the GY. (Quick Effect) You can special summon this card (from your hand) to one of your monster zones that a Link monster point to, and if you do; You can change this card’s original type to Machine until it leaves the field._ ATK/2100 DEF/1600

[@honeyham6788]

isn't enough of a cyber dragon retrain Cyberse Dragon LIGHT - Level 5 - Cyberse/Effect If your opponent controls a Link monster and you don't, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This is much closer to Cyber Dragon's effect, with some cute utility difference

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@honeyham6788 I mean that kinda comes a cross as a worse version of “Cyber Dragon” by itself (unless you built an entire “Cyberse Dragon” archetype that distinguishes itself from it’s inspiration)… I had meant for this card to help older “Cyber” cards play nice with links, SO… ⚪️A good few other monsters count themselves as “Cyber Dragon” already, so it would make sense for that to happen here too… ⚪️The modified special summon meanwhile encourages Cyber Dragon players to play with Links they might not usually, or allow them to take advantage of an opponent’s own Link deck. The special summon being (quick effect) meanwhile helps compensate for the extra specifics needed for it to happen…. ⚪️And the card being able to change it’s original type to machine is because A: A LOT of moneyed would be multi-typed anyway if YuGiOh allowed for that sort of thing (like how many Cyberse monsters would also be machines relevantly), and B: it allows for the card to work with existing Cyber Dragon strategies seamlessly. I’m more for “function” over “form” myself if I can’t have both.

[@fxlja]

Good enough. But it lacks followup. Why not make it so that it does something when either: - used as a Fusion or Link material for a "Cyber Dragon" monster, or - give them lingering effects. A "Cyber Dragon" Xyz monster that has this card as material gains the following effects: (something). Kind of like how Photon monsters work.

[@Nobodyslittlebirb]

This sounds like another solution to cyber dragon’s going second problem that’s missing a soul. It feels like an anti link hand trap that doubles as an extender. It need an effect on top of this to have any identity or use, as the quick effect implies use during your opponent’s turn or as recovery during your’s like for example an additional part of the effect that says that the link monster used to aid it’s summon can’t be used as material, preventing the opponent from link climbing with it further and not effecting the cyber dragon player as they don’t link climb beyond their link two, perhaps even allowing normal link decks to make their boss monster and then extend further. You could also do something similar to fenrier where it can activate an effect once your opponent has, which they will since it’s their turn, preferably one that A; is on a power level to fenrier since it essentially turns off all of your going second power unless your opponent removes it from the field, which they have a good incentive to do before it has activated its effect waisting their resources, giving them a dilemma: allow its effect to go live while trying to mitigate the damage, try to avoid using monster effects until it can properly be felt with, or remove it from the field by committing more resources to it while allowing you to resume using your going second cards, or B: give it a pancertops like effect to tribute itself to use its effect allowing you to resume using your hand traps and board breakers.

[@GranmargYGO]

Firewall Dragon should have been #1. Very surprised to see it not on the list at all especially given most of the cards on this list

[@KaitoverMoon]

Strange how Avramax is only mentioned, but it's a cyberse monster that is arguably on par with Accesscode Talker or at least number 2.

[@melvinshine9841]

Avramax can win some games by itself, if brought out with I:P, through being indestructible, un-targetable, and being able to run over almost anything, but aside from it's non-target spin if it gets removed, it can't do anything besides attack. Accesscode can blow up most of the field when it comes out, then drop the world on your opponent's face.

[@residentgrey]

It is available in DL now too. They added a skill for any character to add it outside of the deck.
