Top 10 Useless Cards in Yugioh

In this video we will go over cards that are basically useless, or have affects which are so minor that there almost never worth running. But this list will not go over cards with negative effects, most of those are kind of design to be bad so they don't count.

If Elemental Hero Bubbleman's anime effect was the actual card's effect it wouldn't be all that bad of a card to be honest.

[@misterbadguy7325]

Funny thing is, there is a reason Larvae Moth exists - and it's even dumber than you might think. See, in the manga and anime, Larvae Moth was a vanilla. It, not Petit Moth, was the card you equipped with Cocoon to summon Great Moth and PUGM. That's why Larvae Moth actually looks like its higher evolution stages, while Petit Moth is just a random caterpillar. But for some reason, somebody at Konami decided, "Hmm, how about we instead make this other card the one you use Cocoon on? And how about we release Larvae Moth anyway, but link it up to this weird cycle?" So now we have a card that, even in the anime, was just a useless vanilla, being turned into an upgrade. I dunno, maybe they thought that way, people would buy five cards instead of four, or that the combo was too powerful if it required a 500 vanilla instead of a 300. REBMD and Metalzoa have basically the same origin of manga-to-game fuckery. Anime Metalmorph, instead of a 300-point boost and more when attacking, provided a 400-point boost and also provided a weird magic-immunity effect (which got referenced later on in Rare Metalmorph). I think the idea there was that they wanted to release REBMD and Metalzoa as their own cards because they had cool designs, but they didn't seem to have any ideas on how to make them good. Even just giving them immunity to Spells would make them a lot better.

[@wedge6195]

honesty they should just make it if cocoon equipped on to petite moth is destroy by your opponent you can summon the monster that meets the turn requirements as well as tributing it yourself, like the anime where Weevil went for PUGM but Yugi destroyed it 1 turn before, but he still got out Great moth.

[@misterbadguy7325]

@@wedge6195 They should have, but the people adapting the early manga into the card game were generally idiots.

[@AlluMan96]

It is just stupid how easy it would have been to make the Metalmorph duo good. Just have it inherit the metalmorph effect and make it work both ways, both while attacking and getting attacked. It is an objective upgrade to metalmorph, counter-balanced by needing to run very specific monsters and the risks that come with running garnets in a deck.

Fun fact: The anime version of Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon DOES have something to do with Metalmorph. Specifically its summoning requirements required a different (anime only) version of Metalmorph equipped to Red Eyes Darkness Dragon to bring it out. The anime version was also a strict upgrade on Red Eyes Darkness Dragon, even inheriting the effect of that anime only Metalmorph. Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon the OCG card has absolutely nothing in common with the anime version except for its base stats, the summoning requirements and effects are totally different between the two.

[@bunnyboyking5215]

I hate how said anime only version of Metalmorph is called Metal Plus. That name is SO LAZY!

[@Omnicrom]

​@@bunnyboyking5215 It kind of isn't though. Since this is season 4 of GX which never got dubbed it's proper to use the Japanese names, and in the case of Metal Plus the full name is actually "Magic-Reflection Armor - Metal Plus". Said name is a riff on the anime's version of Metalmorph, which is "Magic-Reflection Armor - Metal Force", so Metal Plus is literally supposed to be a successor to the original anime version of Metalmorph. The actual playable card we got is called "Metalization - Magic Reflection-Armor" which is slightly different. tl;dr: Metal Plus is so called because it's an improved version of Metalmorph. If it sounds boring that's one of the vagaries of translation.

@@kurodox8063 it isnt all that hard to get ojama king out in the first place within its own archetype, who would think Cyber Stein-ing it out of the extra deck would make it any more competitive? just the other day i played against a vagabond who tried to do exactly that, but their deck was way too slow to have any chance of success if my melodious deck is rouge at best. even my casual vampire deck could have beaten them in a game i dont constantly brick. King's weakness in duel links is that it has to be summoned turn one to see full effect, and going second nearly always breaks that plan (hence why you could argue ojama knight is equally as effective for less resources). yes, you could use certain cards to break their board first, but that just adds one more variable to pulling off the dream combo, and most of cards that could break their board require setup of their own.

Tyrant Neptune. It’s only there because of the independent nightingale combo that made it broken. Other than that it’s a pretty bad card as there aren’t many card effects worth copying that would have enough synergy as well as the fact that most effects are name based.

[@cjcayer2232]

Card shuffle has some great synergy with one of my favorite cards; conversation of nature! It's a weird card that turns your and your opponent's deck upside down, but the real beauty is that the hand pretty much becomes public knowledge, as well as the card you're/your opponent is gonna draw into. Card shuffle will let you pay a pittence to deny them a key resource, or have a second chance at drawing a good card since you know if it's what you need or not. A decent convulsions board can get like 6 once per turn draws, and this is a mulligan for that. I mean, it's not easy to get a good convulsions board in the first place because they don't make cards for it, but it *has* a use case!

[@BloodrealmX]

If I remember right, as well, it _literally_ flips the decks upside down, so that the bottom card is now the top card, and there are a few things that add cards to the bottom of the deck.

[@cjcayer2232]

​@@BloodrealmX This is also true! And likewise if your opponent sends their own card to the bottom of their deck they probably don't wanna draw it, so flipping it up so they're definitely going to see the card they 100% didn't want to see, while you got one you stacked there. Convulsions is such a fun card and it interacts with both player's cards in hand and deck in such an interesting way so it's easy to figure out ways to use it with other cards, I just wish those strategies were better since without good combo pieces it's a dead draw and even with them you're going -1/-2 for something that probably won't be there next turn. Like it *helps* with almost any deck built with it in mind or not but not enough to warrant using unless that's the point, and not enough point to bother with it.

[@brianaguilar8283]

It sounds like a gimmick though

[@cjcayer2232]

@@brianaguilar8283 You aren't wrong, Convulsions of Nature is at most an enabler for other cards (it saw some niche play in Spyrals and Sylvans), and the Card Shuffler synergy is just an enabler for that enabler, which isn't worth it when all of a sudden you're playing a bunch of continuous spells that advance your gamestate by a minor amount at best and by nothing at most realistic. Gimmicks can be fun though, and nostalgia from using it and Archfiend's Oath plays a big part in why I like the card far more than any competitive viability. I also just like how by turning the deck upside down it changes a good number of dynamics with effects that care about the unknown virtue of the top of the deck. Some cards that are supposed to be a gamble suddenly aren't because I'm no longer guessing if, for example, a card is in your deck and then if it's on the top of your deck to special summon it with Conscription, I'm naming the monster card that's already there and using it to take a key card away and/or use it myself, and you can leverage some costs like milling with the knowledge of exactly what cards are about to be milled. What ends up being drawn each turn is public knowledge so you can better plan around what your opponent can even top deck

I'm just being pedantic, but including the cards that revolve around banned cards feels like cheating to me. In a format where all of their accompanying cards are unlimited, Neo Bubbleman would be the only one that's really bad, just because it's the worst use for Metamorphosis imaginable.

[@XJ-0641]

To be fair, specific counter cards are pretty terrible too. You have to have that card set on the field when your opponent activates a specific card that they might not even have in their deck? Monster Reborn is legal in both metas but nobody nor their grandma is running Call of the Grave

[@Acsilverfish360]

@@XJ-0641 But which is more useless, a plus one like Elma, or Ancient Telescope.

[@XJ-0641]

@@Acsilverfish360 Elma is the better card, no question. I was simply referring to Jar Robber and Gryphon's Wing. Elma is not a specific counter card, and is not included by my statement. I would argue that Ancient Telescope is better than Jar Robber and Gryphons wing because, while its effect is pretty bad, at least its a normal spell card with no activation requirements.

[@XJ-0641]

@EHEñor Okita El Cuarto Patriarca Sanwich is still a terrible card, and again my point is only about the *counter* cards. Specific counter cards are already terrible in their own right and almost never going to be used even if they're in a deck, and being counters for banned cards are more the nail in the coffin than anything else. Being related to banned cards is the reason these are the cards chosen _over other specific counter cards._ Otherwise these spots could be taken by something like Goblin Pothole Squad or White Hole, which counter specific cards nobody uses because of power creep.

[@FirestormDDash]

Red eyes metal is so freakin cool tho. If only the effect still had the ability to play for the hand and/or kept metal morph as an effect. Maybe it would be an interesting card if a game mode where only the original launch cards are allowed. At least they made the darkness metal dragon as an updated version.

Konami must create a card that has an effect (similar to the dark world dealings) and is considered a pot of greed in the hand / graveyard / deck / field.

[@StarboyXL9]

I created something similar for Dark Worlds. A trap card that allows you to discard up to 3 (at least 1 card) and draw 2 cards. It's only a +1 or potential +2 in Dark World and Fabled decks, but in others it will allow you to cycle through cards quickly. At the cost of being a trap of course.

[@TendernessLord]

Why does the Butterfly Dagger - Elma have a different effect on screen?

[@constantanxietyattacks6878]

He used an edited version of the card with an effect that fixed why it's banned, probably because he couldn't find a high quality image of the real thing.

[@mr.h7021]

@Mutated Pearl he said you could get the card back to your hand Everytime it's destroyed creating a loop while in the description it says the card can't target another card with the same name in the graveyard for it's effect

"White Hole" comes to mind, during you mentioning "Griphon's Wing", iirc black hole is or was banned. Also, several Fusion monsters from the early days come to mind, so bad (some with 2 or even 3 materials UNDER 1000 ATK, no effect, some with "only fusion summoned" with the named monsters), that even the gameboy / advance versions of yugioh made those into normal monsters^^

[@NepNep77]

If Konami gave all of the drawing Pot cards erratas which made them count as Pot of Greed while in the hand and when activated, it would let Jar Robber be useful and would also enable all of the OG Pot support cards (Like that one terrible monster which allows you to draw 3 instead of 2 when "Pot of Greed" is activated) to function

I have to love how this is one of the proposed tips for how to use Card Shuffle in real life: Remember, in a tournament match you have 3 minutes to shuffle your deck, every time you shuffle your deck. This card can therefore be used to burn up time on the clock in a stall deck like "Self-Destruct Button", and then sided out after time is called to make room for burn cards to win in sudden death.

[@thesacredlobo]

(yes that is the actual name). the only pyro support card i could think of is royal firestorm guard. while for reptiles and rocks there were at least 2 cards i could think of. also, volcanics don t contribute for me as "support for pyro types" because their effects are locked into volcanic monsters. a non-volcanic pyro deck can't use them.
