Yeah like, I never considered Denko Sekka to be a "better" Jinzo. Less attack, can't be special summoned, not a Dark Machine, only works when you don't have any backrow yourself... it doesn't take a tribute and also turns off quickplay spells, but those benefits clearly come with costs. It's just a different card, and I'm not surprised that Jinzo sometimes sees play for the various advantages it has.

I would argue Poly has not _directly_ been power crept. In my opinion, it's like saying Monster Reborn is power crept because of searchable archetypal Reborn spells exist. Like sure in those decks it is, but most decks gave to play the original if they want to use that type of effect. I guess it's just a matter of opinion, the other cards on this list ignore archetype specific alternatives and instead focus on staples.

There's a bunch of reasons why Effect Veiler tends to see play, and not necessarily alongside Imperm. One big reason is that it's a disruption you can bluff in your hand during your opponent's turn while you actually have board presence, whereas Imperm becomes weak to backrow removal. Also, the fact that it's a Tuner is not irrelevant in the slightest. You get to snap it out of your deck with Halq, link into Selene, revive it with Selene, then link those two off for an Accesscode with 5300 atk and minimum 2 pops because of Halq being WATER and Selene being LIGHT. You can even go deeper and make Relinquished Anima if you need the third pop, even better if your opponent has a link monster pointing to one of your zones that you can suck up with said Anima to effectively get 4 removals and 5.3k damage out of just making a Halq.

@aceattorneyhdclips Жыл бұрын
@@luissaumeth8000 Draw 2 is almost always worth the banish of 10 cards. If you run a 40 card deck with your key cards being 3-ofs, then banishing 10 cards is unlikely to completely remove all 3 copies of a card. Sure, it can happen, but it's almost always worth the risk for an otherwise unconditional +1 in card advantage. Even in the worst case scenario, losing all 3 copies of a certain card is usually not going to be a failure condition of your deck unless that card is particularly central. Decks that can't afford to lose certain cards, whether those cards are just super important or are limited to 1 (e.g. Branded) don't play Pot of Desires for exactly that reason. For everybody else though, the drop in consistency is worth the power of a draw 2. Not to mention, banishing 10 cards face-down is actually beneficial in Gren Maju da Eiza decks and maybe a little bit in Swordsoul If you start turn 1 with a 40 card deck, you will draw 5, leaving 35 cards in your deck. Let's say you really want to draw Card X, and you have 3 copies of Card X in your deck and none in your hand. The chance of banishing all 3 copies of Card X from the top 10 cards from a 35 card deck can be calculated using a hypergeometric distribution where the population size is 35, the number of successes in the population is 3, the sample size is 10, and the number of successes in the sample is 3. The output is a 0.01833 probability. That's a lot of oblique maths, but the point is, there is only a 1.8% chance that will happen. In other words, 98% of the time, that will not happen. 98% safety of nothing bad happening with a +1 in card advantage sounds pretty good to me. Now, granted, that probability is only for banishing all 3 copies of Card X - maybe it will banish 2 copies of Card X (~20% chance) or 1 copy of Card X (~50% chance), but that usually doesn't matter. And of course, maybe it'll banish your copies of Card Y or Card Z that you care about too... but for most decks, it's just not worth caring about. The 1.8% chance is only for it banishing all 3 copies of the same specific card - for it to banish all 3 copies of any card at all, it's a little bit more than 3 times that, or roughly 6% chance. That's still an overwhelming 94% chance of it not banishing all 3 copies of cards at all, or in other words, particular cards you really want will remain and be searched out assuming theyr'e all 3-ofs. To put it another way, so long as you can search out those cards, Pot of Desires doesn't do anything negative to your deck at all. Now you could say that that's also assuming you have a 35 card deck, when often you might play Pot of Desires later in the game where you might only have 30 or 25 cards left etc. Sure, if you have a 25 card deck left and still somehow haven't got a particular card you need yet, then the chance of it banishing all 3 copies of Card X is an overwhelming... 5.2%. Seriously. It's still really unlikely even in the late-game, and honestly by then if you haven't already drawn that key card in the first place then your deck is doing something wrong anyway. Pot of Desires screwing over a deck that is made up mostly of 3-ofs is rare enough that the power of a draw 2 is more than worth it. And even if you do banish all 3 copies of Card X, a card you really want... you'll probably be able to get by anyway now that you have +1 in card advantage to your opponent so can more easily play through their interruptions. Let's re-examine this a little bit more though. Let's say we only have 1 copy of Card X in the deck and we really want it. The chance of banishing 1 card that has 3 copies out of 10 banished cards of a 35 card deck is 50%, but that is very different to the chance of banishing 1 card that has 1 copy out of 10 banished cards of a 35 card deck. The chance of banishing our precious 1-of in the early 35-card scenario is a 29% chance. For most decks, banishing a precious one-of a third of the time is too inconsistent to deal with... even so, over 2/3rds of the time, it's fine. So even decks that have one or two one-ofs can throw in Pot of Desires if they feel particularly risky anyway. The payoff is just that worth it.
@michaelbowman6684 Жыл бұрын
@@luissaumeth8000 If you are playing a deck that doesn't draw every card in the deck every game, you can think of those 10 banished cards as cards at the bottom of your deck that you would have never drawn that duel. That's a simplification, but one that makes sense to me. Most duels don't come down to fatigue, and most good decks don't draw through a majority of their deck in a few turns (because usually Komani doesn't like strategies revolving around drawing every card in your deck, so they'll end up nerfing them eventually.) And if you are running a deck with multiple crucial combo pieces, then you wouldn't run Desires if you don't like your odds of discarding said combo pieces. The more pieces you have, the less viable Desires is.

I use Lava Golem in my Shaddoll deck (who's in their structure deck, so I guess it's intentional), mostly because for them it's a really useful form of both removal and momentum. It's best wielded alongside Super-Poly, as you can immediately use it to summon El Shaddoll Grystia (who's not bad if you're like me and run all the Shaddoll fusions solely so Super Poly is always viable removal). It can also get immediately disintegrated by El Shaddoll Construct, leading to a fun niche situation where you actually can let Lava Golem burn the opponent because Lava Golem permits Shaddoll Fusion from the deck, so you can immediately slap down Construct, and... well, now suddenly it's easier for you to get rid of it than them. It's also, funnily enough, the card that gets the most attention in my deck from ex-players. Everyone at least KINDA remembers Lava Golem, so it's fun to see it's still seeing play.

I've mained a tech copy of Lava Golem in almost every deck I've ever played that wasn't normal summon dependent because getting rid of 2 cards is always better than getting rid of 1 in metas where multiple lockdown cards prevent you from playing, and where players are smart enough to reserve resources and not dump them all into 5 monster boards and lose to a Sphere Mode or Nibiru
@Ms666slayer3 жыл бұрын
Torrential is really good in Eldlitch because the deck allows you to trigger it yourself in your opponents turn practically on every phase, just activate Conquistador, Huaquero or Sanguie the use Torrential, also if you summoned The Golden Lord by it's own effect it would be indestructible so it's a plus that you can destroy all of you oponent monsters and you still keep 1.

It's crazy to think that mirror force has been powercrept. When I played it was game defining. It was at 1, everyone played one and you always played around it. So it had a huge effect even if it wasn't even drawn.

One card I can safely say you missed is Stardust Dragon. Despite Stardust Spark Dragon coming out among other synchros, the original Stardust Dragon still sees play because of 2 reasons. 1. A card called Starlight Road can bring it out without the need to play tuners, giving some decks access to a strong protection from destruction effects. 2. Sometimes it is just good to have a reusable protection effect and as such Stardust Dragon is just good for that reason without being a spell/trap. Also being a synchro does matter sometimes but for the most part not really. You could count that last part as a 3rd reason but it does tie into not being a spell/trap.

@ShiningJudgment6663 жыл бұрын
Veiler has that niche of being more situationally useful than Imperm. It also doesn't have a board limitation like Imperm to be used as a hand trap. Just being limited to your opponent's main phase. And it's a level 1 Tuner though almost never really used for Synchro/Halq plays.
@MetalHeartGunner3 жыл бұрын
@@ShiningJudgment666 True though just as you said: the example i gave and that one about it being a level 1 tuner comes up like once every 100 matches unless you have a way to search it like with abductor in pendulums or with halq, it's primary strength is in it being a hand trap, and imperm being an actual trap card can be better in certain hand trap heavy formats where gamma sees lots of play especially in main decks to counter said hand traps since they're mostly monsters, also monster effect negation tends to be more prevalent than spell/trap negation which is the players' fault, s/t negation should always be considered ever since imperm and called by the grave came out and especially with these other very strong going second cards like evenly matched.

I wouldnt say Veiler has been powercrept really. Other handtraps are more niche in their application than Veiler. Ghost Girls only hit specific areas, Gamma on your opponents turn is usually minus and all main deck Psy-Frames require a soft garnet (Driver), whereas unless your opponent plays Mystic Mine Burn, you will have targets for Veiler. Plus it has a way better typing than most hand traps in most decks. Light Level 1 0/0 has a lot of good interactions

(21:15) There is also a new to-be-released basically direct upgrade to Pot of Duality, which I'm seeing arguments over whether it is called Pot of Prosperity or Pot of Disparity. Pot of Prosperity like Pot of Duality lets you choose from a card on top of your Deck, but lets you choose from an amount equal to a number of cards banished from your Extra Deck - akin to Pot of Extravagence. Though also like Pot of Extravagence, it does stop you drawing other cards that turn - but at least banishes cards of your choice rather than at random. I think the main selling point over Pot of Duality really though will be that you can still Special Summon during that turn, instead your opponent just takes half damage. All that aside though, the big selling point for me about Pot of Prosperity though is that it allows you to place a specific card at the bottom of your Deck - so in Infernoid FTK for example you can place Flame Spirit Ignis at the bottom of your Deck, then use Reasoning or Monster Gate to mill your entire Deck and summon a monster that deals non-once per turn burn damage likely to go above 1500 (and result in a very quick FTK).

The reason red eyes darkness is even better even though it has the same effect but 600 less atk is bc darkness is alot less convoluted.

Happy my second suggestion made it into a video too. All on the premise of: It's funny how Poly still sees competitive play, despite being powercrept dozens of times. Polymerization is truly the epitome of card design from LoB, the very first YGO set to be released. To folks like me that picked up YGO cards at a time of innocence and no idea about the actual rules of the card game (S1 anime says hi), we would have never guessed that this would be the most played card of the set many years later into the game's existence. Enough of me rambling, umm suggestions for future videos: Top 10 equip spell cards or something around the lines of 10 reasons why Butterfly Dagger Elma will never be unbanned. I don't know if this is one long enough to make a list: Top 10 cards that accidentally fit into an archetype (And Konami just rolled with it) ^note: This is basically something around the lines of Summoned Skull being effectively made into an Archfiend later on. Cards that include "Guardian" in their name (Gate Guardian was a funny meme rather than being viable for the archetype) I apologize if I mentioned ideas that already have a video covering them. Appreciate the effort as always.
