Top 10 Video Game Exclusives

Fun fact: We did get the Dark Synchro Summoning but as a archetype mechanic for the Ursarctics, as they require a non tuner Minus a tuner to summon their synchro monsters

[@n.k.central8279]

Unfortunately, Konami made them suck. They special summon themselves from the extra deck, but its not treated as a synchro summon, and all the main deck monsters constantly make you go neg 1 unless you have their continuous spell. If they weren't all level 8 and 7s and they had some level 1s and 2s or 3 and 4s and they gave you more card advantage easier they'd be decent but konami wanted to stick to their level 7/8 theme to reflect them being based off the bear constellation which i get but also they very much could have gave them a better special summoning requirement that didnt neg your card advantage with very little to offer in return.

I will forever remember the Sacred Cards version of Revival Jam, which basically clones itself as a token the turn it was summoned.

Duelist of the Roses is massively underrated. Love that they had 3D character models for every monster. It has several exclusive cards as they have the "immortal" type. Which changed some monsters, such as Mucus Yolk. Hourglass of Courage is awesome in it

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

Carat Idol was honestly not that good, when you think about it: it's statline is impressive, and it's effect to make crush terrain when it dies means it will kill whatever your opponent beat over it with, but it's effect to draw every card on the field one space closer to it while having to remain in defense position is niche, to put it mildly. It's also worth mentioning that because of the way the game's summoning system works, you ideally want to be playing lower level monsters anyways -- you start with 4 summoning power and regenerate 3 at the start of each turn, and you need to spend 1 SP for each level star the highest level monster you play out of you hand that turn has -- this means that even with the immortal type having a leader ability that reduces the summoning power for all monsters of their type by 1, you still need to wait until at least your third turn before you can even play Carat Idol. It's also worth mentioning that immortal monsters don't have any support cards in the game because they were designed to be a "hidden" type that you can't get easily, and even if you could aquire these cards, their ridiculously high deck cost (Carat Idol having a DC of 72) means that the number of opponents you can face with you deck becomes limited since you cannot face someone that has a lower deck cost than your current deck. Immortals just SEEM busted to a more casual player because of their oftentimes high stats and effect of leaving crush terrain to kill whatever monster killed them

None of the cards in that game would count for this list, but there were definitely some cards in Forbidden Memories you either needed to acquire or learn to fuse if you were going to succeed in that game. Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and Meteor Black Dragon are two that immediately come to mind for me.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon is also great in the game's sequel, Duelists of the Roses, as while it's fusion materials are more restricted (you need a thunder monster + a dragon with 2000+ attack), if you have the right cards, or a level 7+ dragon as your deck leader, it's possible to play it for as little as 2 summoning power. To do so, you can either: 1) Time Wizard + a level 2 dragon + a level 2 thunder, or 2) Baby Dragon (reduced to level 1 or 2 with a leader ability) + a level 2 rock monster + a level 2 thunder monster

#11: Southern Stars - Duel Links It’s an anime exclusive card that permanently changes any monster’s level to 10. This actually has a huge impact on gameplay since it can be used for extra deck summons or for monsters that gain benefits by level.

[@Epzilon12]

DOTR mentioned, woohoo About Mimicat: One thing that's interesting as due to the Deck Cost rule: In order to duel in-game enemies, your deck cost has to be lower than theirs. 80 is a lot, as the lowest duelist has a cost of 757 and you need to have 40 cards in your deck. This card would come at the cost of using a lot weaker cards. However, due to the fusion mechanic, weak cards can become strong quite fast. In a PVP battle, you'd probably set a DC limit as well. In a format without deck costs, this card would be fantastic.

[@battlemasker2365]

Not sure if this counts, but Arkana's Dark Magician has a different passcode from the original Dark Magician and counts as a separate card entirely, so any game that lets you get cards via passcode could theoretically let you use 4 Dark magicians in a deck

It's true they all have a unique flare to them. The World Championship games sort of act as a time capsule for most OCG formats but I'd say the 5D's ones also were incredibly unique thanks to their implementation of Turbo Dueling which... was way better than I was expecting. Duelists of the Roses, Forbidden Memories, Dungeon Dice Monsters, Falsebound Kingdom and the Sacred Cards Duology all of them had something unique. None will ever outshine Tag Force though.

There is an interesting fact about The Winged Dragon of Ra (phoenix mode) in Reshef of Destruction that I would argue makes the card better then Dark Flare Knight. In Reshef, all of the Egyptian God cards have a hidden effect that is not listed in their card texts where they cannot be destroyed by card effects (although they can still be affected by non-destruction effects like Dragon Capture Jar). Because of this destruction protection, I essentially auto-won all of the duels where I drew into phoenix mode because the AI could only destroy Ra by beating over it, which is not very easy given its 4,000 attack.

I know that I use Full Throttle a lot to ensure that I have plenty of speed counters for my biggest spells when facing tough opponents.

4:11 It was also used for Ursartic monsters. BUT never reached negative numbers. just level 1 9:26 this card is basically triple tactic talents, but focused more a case of "summon a monster from opponent's gy". or superheavy samurai's "steal an opponent's monster S/T" 16:22 so broken, even the anime only used it once

[@Grimsly3736]

I like the Dark Flare Knight from (ROD) I think it’s some perfect inspiration for a retrain for the new Flame Swordsman theme, it could have like some kinda token effect when sent to the grave to represent the wacky not needing a mirage knight in your deck effect lol

[@a1rg3ar31]

Personally speaking, bringing the Immortal monster type from Duelist of the Roses into the main game would've made far more sense than making up an entirely new monster type based on one part of a mechanic exclusive to an ancient game like Dark Duel Stories, and three of its sequels.

0:40 Did you use a card generator to make that Mirage Knight cap? The attribute is “笑 Laugh” 😂

[@akiradkcn]

iirc that was a joke attribute from official joke cards I think

[@gabrielhopkins7917]

You should do another top 10 cards that were broken in the anime compared to irl

[@karisasani7006]

When it comes to Mirror Wall in Duelists of the Roses, that one is basically just the Anime version of Mirror wall where you don't need to pay the lp cost. Im betting plenty of people with one of those code books put in its code just to have a free win thing

[@siftheadsdude]

Top 10 banlist cards that SHOULD get an errata Top 10 cards never restricted in any way, but were widely considered to be hit Failed cards and mechanics: naturia Please logs I’ve been asking for these for months🥺

[@Akial2935]

Duelist of the roses representation I'm happy

[@jshtng78]

The #1 and #2 places could be printed in their game forms with the extra line "This card's controller concedes the duel and match at the end of the phase its effect is activated."

[@eerieeric834]

Don’t forget about the top 10 best anime exclusive cards

[@AnvilPro100]

Here's the actual answer: Darkness Approaches. It's that awful normal spell that just flips everything face down and for years was a meme b/c it specifies it doesn't change battle positions, so you could have something in face-down attack position. So like besides that quirk it's useless yeah? Except in the absolutely goated game Sacred Cards for the GBA (idk if it works in Reshef). In that game you place a monster on the field and it's automatically face-down, and you can either attack, defend or use it's effect. But in that game you can *only* use effects when the monster is in that summoned state as a face-down card, once you attack or use it's effect once it's face-up and is for all purposes a normal monster for the rest of the game. *Unless* you turn it face-down with Darkness Approaches, which turns them face-down and actually lets you use their effects again. And it's super cheap to buy and put in your deck b/c this is probably a huge oversight lmao.

[@oli-wc6339]

illusion gate is even so op in the tag force games its actually banned in every release i believe only being able to be used after completing all main characters

[@soukenmarufwt5224]

Anime One Hundred Eyes Dragon copied the effect of all Dark Monsters. With enough set up, its possible with the anime version to create an unbeatable boss monster by coping Ultimate Falcon among other dark monsters

[@SargeWolf010]

Some of these may not be in the tcg but there definitely in DL

[@JillLover69]

Shoutouts to Pikasprey's second/achievement Reshef playthrough. Bless that madman.

[@hentaimage95]

Reshef is easy, fight me.

[@sonicgen20]

Though dark synchros would be really difficult to summon since dark tuners are high level. The dark tuners would need effects that allow them to special summon themselves to the field.

[@lucentnether9154]

I also remember a trap card from tag force 4 that cheats out a synchro monster from the extra deck for free !

[@felipevieira3671]

the anime version of ecole de zone is more nasty, because the summon of every monster is negated before gets destroyed and replaced by the token, is basically a buffed solemn strike in every turn in every monster.

[@xCorvus7x]

15:19 Another deck trigger, amazing.

[@ShibuyasBeat]

Ah yes Sabatiel, I run flute of summoning kuriboh and winged kuriboh x3 because of this

[@lukemacinnes5124]

The crush card monsters from duelist of the roses would be way up there if they made any sense converting them to the tcg

[@MorePower8679]

Fog Castle exists for one purpose in the anime: to facilitate Exodia. Also, interested to see if a Monster Reborn but for Spells and/or Traps would be bad or busted.

[@fernandobanda5734]

Any excuse to talk about Duelist of the Roses seems great

[@Apalapan97]

Mirage Knight has "Laugh" attribute, nice

[@kizzalevelup]

When Archfiend Manifestation and Archfiend Call was added into Duel Links. I would play them in my infernity Deck knowing that they were Level 6 Fiend Monsters. Meaning I could Summon 1 of the 2, Summon a Infernity Beetle or Dark Tiner, Synchro Summon Hundred Eye Dragon and Banish Manifestion give Hundred Eye Dragon 3500 ATK. And by having another Manifestation on my fiend with Hundred Eye Dragons name being Summon Skull. It's ATK would be 4000. Shame they limited Infernity Launcher to 1 but the combos still playable

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Illusion gate probably would’ve made just desserts a requirement to burn an opponent who sets up a board soon after wiping with gate

[@Lagbeard]

That version of Mimicat does the effects of two cards... Monster Reborn, and Graverobber (which is a trap).

[@iskandarkomrad9231]

black luster soldier - soldier of chaos in legacy of duelist. which have extra effect that protect any level 7 or higher monster from being targeted that it is pointed-to...

[@stubbornpotatogaming6220]

Alchemical Kettle - Chaos Distill in Bakura's deck will always be the doom card of Banish Floodgate.

[@Anangrygoose]

Duelists of the roses was pretty cool once you got the god cards or the dark magician combos

[@anonymousmonkey9491]

0:50 what the heck is laugh attribute

[@dinolover]

Most of the cards in Reshef were broken as hell.
