arc rebellion also has the unwritten effect of making you 1% more edgy every time you play it

[@AdeptRougeOfHorus]

My god, 200 plays will make you into a pizza cutter.

[@glennrugar9248]

Thats only 100 games and you double your edginess. You could be an edge lord in like two months

[@topfan2657]

guess im edgy

[@gendo1123]

@@glennrugar9248less than 100 games it would take as say you start at 200 well then the first +1%=2 so when you start the second game your 100%=202 so the +1%=2.02 then the third 100%=204.2 so +1%=2.042 and so on so it would be less than 100 games but maybe still more than 99 as I didn’t do all the math to get to the 400 or 200% of original number

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

​@@gendo1123geez congrats on doing the Math

[@azuredragoon2054]

I figured Cyber Dragon Nova would be on this list due to Infinity. Didn't expect it to be so high though.

[@Endershock1678]

Being a part of a tier 0 deck will do that yeah.

[@thatman666]

That monster was aesthetically eerie, being composed of various Cyber Dragon models up to date.

[@Deathmare235]

@@thatman666aesthetically eerie extender

[@azuredragoon2054]

@@Deathmare235 An amazing extender in Cyber Dragons too when you get the right setup. I've regularly looped overlaying Level 5 CyDras by using its SOPT summon after putting out Drei with a bunch of other CyDras on the field.

[@etherealhawk]

If anyone thinks CyDras are Tier 0 they're delusional

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

Number 61 Volcasaurus and Number 39 Utopia and Cyber Dragon Nova, made me think of a "top 10 extra deck monsters people used to summon another actual more useful thing". That would be an interesting idea for minimum 2 videos: 1 dedicated to the "Zeus pilots", and one to other Xyz monsters used for their own different strategies, like the previously mentioned "Number" monsters

[@burgersaurus4573]

wait what do people use volcasaurus to summon?

[@miracleknight7758]

I'm surprised ARC Rebellion was only #7, I still use him in one of my decks. Same with Raider's Knight.

[@Kylora2112]

It's one of those cards that, if you can make it, you should run it. If your opponent plays any kind of combo deck and you run dark level 4s, Raider's Knight/Arc Rebellion is a must-include. If your opponent doesn't know you run it, they probably won't have interaction for it; if they *do* know you run it, they'll probably let you get a lot of plays off to save their interactions knowing the game's over if you get it on the field. I run it in Lunalights...oh you're making it hard to get my fusions to go off? Okay, here's a 17000 ATK beatstick.

[@miracleknight7758]

@@Kylora2112 I like having them with my Abyss Actors, along with Supreme King Starving Venom and Unchained Abomination.

I'm planning on running it in my superme king deck after the new support from Age of Overlord comes out.

[@miracleknight7758]

@@justinjones7411 Best of luck.

[@ChillDragon]

I love Arc Rebellion XYZ Dragon. It fits perfectly in my Time Thief/Suship Deck.

[@Devi1Admon]

Given its literary inspiration, it’s fitting that Outer Entity Azathot is both the strongest Rank 5 card to exist in Yugioh and that it’ll likely remain on the Forbidden List forever. The way the card interacts with the game defies logic and drives men to madness. Oh, woe to the poor fools who meet this monster on the card table! Woe to those whose eyes are seared with its visage! Death would be a mercy to such witless fools! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

Top 10 Link-3 monsters that require exactly 3 monsters as materials. Like Black Luster Soilder - Soilder of Chaos or Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion

[@residentgrey]

The Gaia knight one is my go-to Link 3. I even put it in decks I don't intend to link summon in just to have as a board clearer and a decent body on it with an open spot, or two, to pendulum to, which could be two of the materials put back up, making for some game-ender states.

[@sdsd1801]

I bet Imperial Princess Quinquery will join this list someday. That card is like a ticking time bomb.

[@u.a.perfectace7786]

I think we should keep an eye on that card I agree with you. It's just waiting for a busted lvl 5 deck to be abused. I read this post CYAC article on tcgplayer Infinite predicting the same thing.

[@dandomen3584]

the best Yajiro support card

[@dayvonlouis5187]

I really wish Dark Requiem had an ability to regain its xyz units or at least reattach Dark Rebellion so It can keep using its monster effect negation

[@adamntcaponewholikesbigcoo1749]

Shout out to my Boi Infinitrack River Stormer literally being able to add or send any earth machine which means he can add regulus or send citadel to help set up for later

[@mrmetal19]

azathot may be broken but the art is so amazing i love it so much

[@sharkplay1261]

All of the entity cards have amazing art, we need more

[@gonzalosibaja801]

Excellent video! Thank you

[@ghostrickbirdbrain1197]

Anyone remember the random ass chaos xyz Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade which is from a barely-an-archetype Umbral Horror archetype that surprisingly has an all-in-one negate, rip a random card from your opponents hand and then halfs their life points effect? It even pops a backrow on its summon, if only it was easier to summon though.

[@crownclown3519]

oh yeah I remember Randomly Reading it and going wtf it is probably the most broken xyz monster effect wise hoping it becomes easier to summon

[@sharkplay1261]

Yeah requiring masquerade for its effect is what severely limits it

[@colinduchilio4052]

I mean, due to Nash Knight (and Nasch Knight, the rank 6 version), any 2 level 5s do make Umbral Horror Masquerade with its effect live However this does require 4 Extra Deck spots to perform just for a single monster negate

[@theannilators7479]

In cyber dragon decks in the link era sometimes Nova’s revive is used to help go into link plays, but other than that, yeah it’s just Infinity fodder

[@JoeVO24]

*Makes video on rank 5 monsters* *puts rank 6 monster in the thumbnail*

[@ginar555]

Love your content

[@kalasp4419]

Madolche mentioned :) the rest of the video was cool too of course but it's still nice to see my favorite deck in these videos

[@netherplaysgames9822]

Another funny thing with Durendal is in Photon Galaxy, the newer trap card has the effect of when it's destroyed it skips your opponents turn. Very funny Interaction.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea for a new Rank 5 “Labyrinth Wall” monster: _Paradox Labyrinth Wall_ (EARTH) Rank 5 Rock/Xyz/Effect 2+ Level 5 monsters _Can only be summoned in defense position, and cannot change battle positions. You can also Xyz summon this card using a “Labyrinth Wall Shadow” you control as material, and if you do, this card gains it’s effects while on the field. Gains 200 DEF for every card in the GY, and ATK equal to the total ATK of all “Shadow” monsters attached to it. This card can attack directly while in Defense Position. If it does, apply its ATK for damage calculation. Once per turn (Quick Effect), You can tribute 1 card from your hand or field: Attach 1 “Shadow” monster from your hand, field or GY to this card as material. If this card leaves the field, you can special summon 1 “Shadow” monster that was attached to it, ignoring its summoning conditions._ ATK/0 DEF/5000

[@gendo1123]

How did you change your font size?

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@gendo1123 So you an use _ here. Put them like this _ (insert text here) _ but without the spaces. Same goes with *. So _ (insert text here) _ becomes _(insert text here)_

[@ismailkeskinklc5300]

Instead of tribute it should be a detach effect it'd make more sense, having the "shadow" monster also be attached from the deck as well to make it more consistent tho either way this card would only be a fun gimmick in today's yugioh.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@ismailkeskinklc5300 Ok, I’ll make the adjustments then: _Paradox Labyrinth Wall_ (EARTH) Rank 5 Rock/Xyz/Effect 2+ Level 5 monsters _Can only be summoned in defense position, and cannot change battle positions.

[@ismailkeskinklc5300]

@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire I like how you didn't spam it with obscure protection effects with a whole board negate or anything most people's custom cards are like that, though it'd be cool if this card was able to attack like a super heavy samurai card(where it uses its defence points for damage calculations) against monsters that way it'd be a decent towers remover for rank 5 decks.

[@rainbowdragon168]

My favourite Rank 5 monster is Dark Requiem XYZ Dragon

[@supremeking6694]

Topic for a future video: “Top 10 Best Specific-Field Spell Searchers” (More loose cases like “Evil HERO Abdusted Gold” can also be included in the list).

[@residentgrey]

Favorite HERO is one of the few I use.

[@ariavachier-lagravech.6910]

Is it just me or is this the first time Mr. Logs video have no background music. I keep feeling something is off until I realised the only other sounds I could hear other than Logs voice is him scrolling down to read the script.

[@brianmccarthy3558]

Shoutout Digital But Corebage, probably the most cost-effective way for B.A.‘s to get rid of the The Prime Monarch in the Monarch matchup

[@Vertilian]

i got like number 20 and tbh im glad i can see like right after it got posted

[@anghuuhoangquan5447]

I really thought i could see river stormer on this list. It searches any earth machine from deck to hand including regulus, which is a powerful move. Its other effects are not bad due to pretty good stats so the 1st effect will let stormer gain more material for zeus play.

[@MrDevilRays]

I think a cool concept for a video would be "top 10 best monster cards with 0 attack". I'd be really interested in seeing that video

[@popstarchamp]

Top 10 Extra Deck Engines Engines like the Predaplant combo that gives (gave) you access to Brilliant Fusion Or the Speedroids that can get you a Rank 3 XYZ without using your normal summon Or the Windwitches that can get you a Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon with destruction immunity Stuff like that

[@residentgrey]

The Speedroid tuner that takes an opponent's card as the other material is a must-have. That set is so useful!

[@residentgrey]

Add Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake to your set too. I had the Crystal Wing well over 4000 after the wipe and the buff effect from the one card also in the given Yugo deck on DL. The combo is definitely intended.

[@fanboy9472]

I was wondering why you didn’t have a rank 5 bc I was looking for it recently 😭 appreciate you

[@torbenreinert6450]

Rank 5 Video and Infinity in the thumbnail and I now it is because of Infinit but still funny and I Had to read it twice

[@rontanamo_bae]

its a very loose video idea but maybe a top 10 monster types? Obviously high placements would be dragons and warriors but it'd be nice to hear about good but less talked about types. Maybe some of the best monster for each type as well?

[@teddyhaines6613]

I'd expect number one to be a toss-up between Dragons and Cyberse, tbh.

[@residentgrey]

It's interesting how only XYZ's were covered here. There are some Lvl5 synchos I still go out of my way to use, like Magical Android and Stygian Sargeant and Hi-Speedroid Chanbara.

[@-AirKat-]

This is a Rank 5 video, not Level 5

[@melvinshine9841]

Keeping on the Xyz kick, Top 10 Rank 8 Xyz monsters is probably in the works. Still think Top 10 Xyz Monster Effects That Don't Require Material Detachment would be cool, though Azathot would probably take #1 on that list too.

[@yurei____4315]

Good vid

[@AlexanderMadolche]

Madolche Puddingcess Chocolat-A-La-Mode is my Ace, I'm so happy to see her included!! 😍🥳🩷🧁

[@matthewshapiro250]

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm curious to see if Infinitrack River Stormer will be on the list. It's like the rank 4 Gear xyz, but for level 5s.

[@jacksmith00]

The card game itself is called Duel Monster, Yugioh was just an anime about Duel MOnster

[@TheAmazingSpiderman87]

How about a cyber dragon archtype vid? When I did play, cyber end was my favorite deck. Sadly got stolen though and at the time I didn't have the means or will to rebuild so I just quit playing.

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea for an Exodia Xyz monster: _Exodia, the Xyz-Aulted One_ (DARK) Rank 5 Spellcaster/Xyz/Effect 5 level 5 monsters _You can also Xyz summon this monster by using 1 “Exodia Forbidden One” you control and 4 other cards from your hand, field or GY as Xyz materials. Gains 1000 ATK/DEF for every material attached to it. If this card would be targeted for an attack or effect: You can detach 1 spell/trap card from this card instead. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can detach 1 material from this card: Attach 1 “Forbidden One” monster from your hand, field, deck or GY to this card. If this card with 5 differently names “Forbidden One” materials inflicts battle damage to your opponent: You win the duel._ ATK/? DEF/?

[@residentgrey]

I think the Exodia cards should involve link summoning, and possibly pendulum cards to fill out the zones even in Duel Links.

[@ajaxmajor]

what a chad to put a rank 6 monster in the thumbnail

[@vaulthunterfromterra4053]

Constellar Pleiades should’ve been a Rank7, on the count of the Pleiades System being called “The Seven Sisters”

[@pancakes7483]

I kinda wished that constellar M7 had a different effect ngl lol. It's not the boss monster but its effect is just Pleiades but slightly better lol

[@residentgrey]

ZW - Leo Arms deserves a mention too. It is one of the few that go 3k+. I managed to get a prismatic first in DL.

Even with the DABL cards and Sharnga, I still run Arc Rebellion and Raider's knight in my Blackwing deck

[@phoenix5029]

with how long folks have been demanding the banlist in some capacity, I'm curious if you plan on explaining the impact of this newest Forbidden/Limited update going into effect soon in Master Duel... with Agido getting banned, Kelbek getting limited, and Tearlaments Merrli basically killing the synergy between it and Spright... and that's not even mentioning Rhongo and Bishbaalkin being banned for being a perpetual menace in casual play

[@hattanalshutaifi4587]

[@alexbusiness3132]

Arc Rebellion dragon can also xyz ontop into a rank 7 rebellion by using itself as a material, this is kinda nuts because the rank 7 can attack 3 TIMES during each battlephase.

[@gaogaogaga]

Chronomaly vimana its kind of like the CWSD for rank5. Also the rank5 suship simply because people on MD dont read and try to negate the on summon effects just to get counter negated

[@michaelstringer1840]

I threw arc rebellion into a black wing deck to use in case I ran into that labyrinth trap where it won’t let me special summon something from my extra deck.

[@CrnaStrela]

Dimension barrier? That's not lab trap but yeah it function really well on them.

[@valonyaver600]

What about nash knight? It lets you summon any 101-107 nunber from your extra deck while attaching an opponent's monster on a quick effect.

[@JoseSilva-rk9ur]

Love you cyber dragon

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea for a “Black Hole” sort of Xyz monster that sucks everything up as materials and grows stronger: _The Oldest Hunger_ (DARK) Rank 1 Pyro/Xyz/Effect 5+ Level 1 monsters. _Must be Xyz summoned. You can also Xyz summon this card by using monsters you control who’s Levels/Ranks exceeds 12 as Xyz materials (Transfer their materials to this card if they have any). Cannot be destroyed be battle or card effects. Cannot attack. Gains 1 rank for every material attached. Gains ATK/DEF equal to the total ATK/DEF of all attached materials. While this card is face-up on the field, any card sent to the GY is attached to this card instead. If this card you control who’s Rank exceeds 12 leaves the field: Destroy all cards on the field and in both players hands._ ATK/0 DEF/0 THERE, so you have this indestructible cosmic GIANT that’s passively consuming everything that slips into its event horizon, accumulating in mass and might as it consumes all things, and explodes in a galaxy rending disaster if it expires. Much like a real black hole.

[@burner555]

Finally, an Xyz monster that exceeds something
