Top 10 Worst Cards in Cyber Dark Impact!

[@mismismism]

Sounds like GX was all about characters trading their decks for weaker versions. E-Heroes to Neo Spacians and Cyber Dragon to Cyberdarks... Less sad that this was the era I mostly missed out on. Silver lining, at least Cyberdarks aren't bad in Duel Links right now.

[@somepony13]

Sure, the Cyberdark support added to DL makes it better, but it'll still get bopped 9/10 times once you hit Gold Rank. Inferno would fix this, but Konami probably doesn't want another "Amazoness Princess" situation.

[@mismismism]

@@somepony13 Agreed, but it's not bad is all I meant, it's def not top tier but it's usable, especially compared to a lot of the other archetypes available in DL.

[@somepony13]

@@mismismism Fair enough. X-Saber, Gusto, Gishki, Dark Magician... There are plenty of archetypes that simply don't function as intended or at anything near their full power in DL's limited card pool. Cyberdarks at least have everything except their targeting/destruction immunity and "Harpie Dancer" effect. Calling them "not bad" because they play almost exactly like their TCG form is a _bit_ of a stretch, though.

[@rueblie2627]

Calling normal monster based, named material fusion HEROs better than neo-spacians is highly debatable. Neos is awful but both are pretty trash

[@e-tan3911]

One of the many reasons manga gx was better then anime gx

[@Keirandal_Chikage]

If you look close. You can see daves soul leave his body

[@poohbear01x48]

I think Alien Counters are one of the few counters that aren't bad. Many of the Aliens generate counters on their own and receive a -300 attack and defense per counter PER alien with that effect. 3 counters on a blue eyes and three alimo on the board drop BE attack by 2700. Tell me that's useless. It's not meta, but it's at least a decent rogue deck. On top of that, it's a terribly fun deck to play. Nothing makes me happier that using A-Cell Recombination Device in tandem with either Brainwashing Beam or Mysterious Triangle. And extremely flexible deck, I always have an out when playing my alimo deck But yes, corruption cell a sucks

[@Keirandal_Chikage]

@@poohbear01x48 its really not useful. Its just too slow a deck. Sure its a fun deck but its nowhere near as fast or as powerful as it needs to be to compete

[@poohbear01x48]

@@Keirandal_Chikage With the way things are now - definitely. It's gotten to the point where if it isn't instant, it isn't fast enough. Kinda takes all of the fun out of the game. Also, not sure how this ended up as a reply to your comment instead of being a straight public comment lol

There was a OCG deck that uses cyber ogre for OTK lol. A really innovative deck

[@bumblesmcfumbles]

Flash of the Forbidden Spell is actually a reference to Raigeki which was a Forbidden Spell at the time

[@UtterSpartan]

14:07 So that card blows but it actually had a hilarious application as a tech choice in Duel Links. Due to the absolutely garbage monster removal at the time if an Ancient Gear deck managed to not brick and summon Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem a lot of decks had basically no way to deal with it. Except for one card basically everyone else was playing: Enemy Controller. It was literally so ever present that you could presume every single deck you went up against had it before it was semi-limited. So if you had a Trojan Blast in your backrow and they stole your Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem then BOOM, 4400 damage to the face instantly causing them to lose the duel. It was always funny to pull off.

It DOES require you to have a full board.... if the opponent is using it

[@UniGya]

Remember when everyone thought Senet Switch would be good with Master Rule 4?

[@Undrave]

Back in the day they actually held sealed events, like Magic does... I think a lot of crappy GX cards were actually designed to be played in a sealed format. Also I want to see a tournament that's just Ancient Sanctuary to Cyberdark Impact (+Polymerization obviously).

[@rowrow2139]

A nice Blue-Eyes tech: Normal summon Maiden, use Hermos on a Dragon in your hand, equip Sword to Maiden, it targets so she activates and you summon a Blue-Eyes from your deck. Better than Senet Switch.

[@somepony13]

Alternatively, you could give her a "Time Magic Hammer" by using one of your "Eyes of Blue" monsters (preferably Master) as Hermos material. Instead of having ATK reliant on GY setup, just banish their monsters for a few turns.

[@rowrow2139]

I love Hermos, I like the fusions it lets you have

I hate that I had the thought that forbidden spell would be good in duel links

[@Comickid15]

Just use WoD if they mindlessly fill all 3 slots and then swing. I've noticed Straight Flush is more devastating for a bad card nobody uses, but is in Duel Links, ESPECIALLY against Amazoness and Silver/Gold scrubs that fill backrow on turn one.

[@itsthekid9815]

So it is a lot better in links than the tcg. Your opponent having 3 cards happens a lot. People having 5 monsters is very rare.

[@poohbear01x48]

It is much more usable in Duel Links. If for some reason you can't run WoD or Needle Ceiling to bail your ass out, it would be a decent option to try and come back from the brink... But it has to be in a deck with enough balls to fight back from nothing as well. (And Needle Ceiling isn't great either, but I has saved my butt a ton because NOBODY sets cards)

[@MGDrzyzga]

Ouch. I actually play a Cyberdark deck, and Keel is my mascot. Like, whenever I need a Heart of the Cards moment, I draw Cyberdark Keel. And only one specific copy - I have a UTR and a Shatterfoil. And it's always the UTR that shows up when I'm in a pinch. Things started working better when I embraced it as my mascot. And this card "sulks" when I make changes to the deck. :P

[@notimportant493]

ironic that the anime cyberdarks targeted level 4 dragons in either graveyard which would have made them infinity better than the version we got

[@scottharris6116]

7:30 don’t want to be that “um actually” guy, but kaiju counters have actually already found a use in link decks. Just set waterfront and focus on summoning skull dread. By the time it hits the field, you should have enough counters to search Gameceil and can special summon it with skull dread’s effect, basically giving you 2 solemn judgements that can recharge Just wanted to bring it up because it is literally my go to/win condition play for my World Chalice deck

[@Keirandal_Chikage]

World chalice is about the only deck that can actually utilize it. And its completely rendered null and void if the field spell gets hit/negated etc. Sure an extra link deck like WC that doesnt really have anything beyond an e link benefit from it but those decks are not competitively viable

[@SakuraAvalon]

Eh, an Archetype affraid of MST wasn't going very far.

[@MobiusLeader007]

In the anime, Cyberdarks used Level 4 or lower Dragons. But Konami probably thought this was too strong (lol it isn't), so they bumped it down to Level 3, making Cyberdarks complete trash. They had to make Explorer Dragon and Hunter Dragon just so Cyberdarks could have any targets besides Masked Dragon.

[@Anthony_Cantos]

I just woke up.... To the best list ever made

[@brandonbrown6922]

I find it amusing that when he's talking about out of theme dragons, he actually names one that Zane used in the show.

[@dalecal1129]

Honestly I can see Senet Switch being used in, like, Mekk-Knights or something. A few of their monsters could benefit from it, like the one that can pop an opponent's monster that's in the same column as it.

[@sturmmagier1]

Mekk-Knight Indigo Eclipse

[@anthonyschroeder521]

Not really the point, because it's been this way for a decade now, but counters are only bad as a mechanic because the format and searchability of this game leads to 3-4 turns being considered late game. If 50+% of the game wasn't decided t1 then counters could actually be viable in different instances. But Konami has yet to show any serious interest in fixing the absolute brokenness of the formats speed so yeah.

[@ich3730]

as a magic player it baffled me when he said counters are bad because they rely on 2 card combos. Like, whats the alternative, 1 card combos? cards that synergize with themselves?

[@AlexaRobin21]

Six Sam meanwhile laughs.

[@UniGya]

That’s not the problem with counters. The problem with counters in YGO is that nothing sticks around for long. In other games you can keep monsters on board for a long time but in YGO you’re going to use that monster for a summon, or you’re opponent is gonna out it, or you’re going to let it die for a different card effect. It’s the same reason equip spells have never been good

[@scaledjames98]

Still can't believe we got a single use version of Senet Switch in Extreme Force, earlier this year, in the form of Column Switch. Wattkinetic Puppeteer from that same set at least lets you mess with your opponent's monsters

[@Pihutihutihutijay]

Eh, Cyberdark keel might be the worst of the cyberdark monsters, but his basic revival effect and attack boost makes him playable enough, especially with the new support. Combo master's chain effect isn't that bad either, Tons of decks make chains just doing their normal plays. I'd sub these guys out with blast asmodian, its a non once per turn burn effect but it requires chaining a spell/trap card activation, so its basically impossible to exploit unless we get a quick play spell that is super easy to recycle. And Cyber Ogre himself. I love the card, and it could be good if it got any support, but a monster that specifically relies on having multiple copies of itself, without any support to make that strategy viable is really unfortunate. I mean technically its searchable with fusion conscription, so yay?

[@royalkiller1319]

i play cyberdarks and keel is still the worst and rather get edge or make winda

[@Pihutihutihutijay]

like I said, keel is the worst of the cyberdark monsters, but it is more usable then cyber ogre or blast asmodian.

[@HaydenX]

Spell Counters have so much support that they aren't bad. Tempest Magician, Arcanite Magician, Breaker, Endymion, Royal Magic Library, and Magical Exemplar come to mind as cards that make a good enough use of their counters to be usable.

[@runningoncylinders3829]

I've used Chain Healing in Duel Links just cause there's missions to make you play a bunch of Trap cards. Paleozoic Chaining from the GY can help Chain Healing get off at a higher Chain Link.

[@tomduckworth6430]

I like cyberdarks and even before the legacy support I had a decent build (for casual play). It was more synchro focused with dragunity phalanx and black salvo as the tuners. And I updated it with the buster blader tuner with the phalanx eff. Also hunter dragons. I don't blame him for putting keel on here though, his effect is awful at least the other two were semi-decent. Honestly most of the time I just forgot keel had a second effect it was just so useless

@@davinator1212 that's kinda what I mean. Especially if they made it a quick effect. (Which would probably be powerful enough to warrant a hard once per turn.)

[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

'Of the Forbidden Spell' literally means it's referencing a banned card. It's not necessarily the SAME spell being referenced in both cards. Cursed Seal is making a joke about the card being 'banned' once this is used to counter it, and Flash is referring specifically to Raigeki, which was banned at the time.

[@TheNutshaq]

Stray Asmodian can be used in the worst possible version of Ra OTK

[@SakuraAvalon]

Ah, the Light of Destruction Season. Where almost everyone swapped their decks for inferior versions that worked better, because of plot. Jaden's dck went from E-Hero to Neo-Spacians, and Zane's deck... Went CyberDARK. In the anime, they are slightly better. Edge, Horn and Keel can equip LV4 or lower Dragons, and Cyberdark Dragon can use either players Grave. ...Good thing Konami nerfed them, or they would have dominated the meta. *rolls eyes* I believe Exploder Dragon was invented for Zane's deck in the anime first, then printed. Same with that 2000 ATK 4 star Dragon that dies after attacking. Which was primarily used with Horn,/Edge/Keel, and not so much with Cyberdark Dragon.

[@DotHackerBlackWing]

actually you could complete the requirements for Flash of the Forbidden Spell yourself if you used Ojama Trio. almost everyone used that card (Ojama Trio) cause there were no good ways to get rid of the tokens back in 2007 and they clogged up the opponent's field. no generic fusions were around at the time either.

Far be it from me to defend senet switch of all things, but doesn't it help Mekk-knights since they can only be summoned in coloums with a certain numbers of cards in it? Now I could be wrong because I don't play the deck but I don't think they have an archetypal way of changing columns by themselves except the um... You know the silvery looking one with no legs but like a pointy chakram thing for a lower body?

[@GeneralNickles]

I've asked a couple mekk-knight players about senet switch and they tell it's just kinda not worth it. At best, you summon something in a colemn that already has cards in it, then use senet switch (which is probably one of the cards allowing you to summon in that column) to move it, then summon another in that same column. Sure it allows you another summon, but there's far better things you can run to accomplish the same thing.

[@VigilantKnight005]

I expected Allure Queen LV3, knowing that you listed Dark Lucius LV8. At LV3, Allure Queen has only 500 ATK and DEF. She treats a monster of level 3 or less as an Equip Card to equip to herself. The card equipped to her is destroyed instead of herself in battle, and you still take battle damage. If the cycle repeats, you can't level up to LV5, let alone LV7. LV7 is not worth the effort as she has only 1500 ATK and DEF. Like LV5, she can only use her effect if special summoned by the previous level's effect. It's so underpowered. We got Queen's Bodyguard for a chance, but still.

It was built around getting one big monster on field with VERY specific materials and everything else supported him not losing til he did. Cyber Dragon was ONE CARD and people act like he went from playing Cyber Dragon as we know them now to Cyberdarks. Its not that ridiculous a switch.

OG "Cyber Dragon" was just that good at the time. 2100 beaters that SS themselves from hand and don't have a drawback because of it? And "Cyber Twin Dragon" was potentially a 5600 double-attacker thanks to "Power Bond" or "Limiter Removal". And if we're mentioning those two, 8000 ATK with piercing damage from a beefed-up "Cyber End Dragon" was nothing to sneeze at. It might not seem like much at this point in the game, but there's a reason people blame these guys for the death of Goat Format.

He went from an incredibly powerful and flexible deck. To agarbage fire

[@montaigo13]

@@somepony13 Maybe so, but people act like Cyberdarks were so terrible to switch to because they weren't that good in the actual game, forgetting that the game is played differently between IRL and the anime.

[@montaigo13]

@@Keirandal_Chikage it was powerful yes, but his deck was a literal one trick pony. All it did was summon Cyber End Dragon as quickly as possible. Over and over. He had a bunch of Fusion cards that allowed him to do it with ease. Cyberdarks were literally just as linear, focused on summoning Cyberdark Dragon as quickly as possible. That's it.

[@Keirandal_Chikage]

@@montaigo13 and in gx it was extremely powerful. Because anything that didnt have 4k defense auto lost. And in the real game it was what dethroned goat. Cyber dragon is an amazingly powerful card then and now

......i like levels. no real reason, i just think their fun.

[@Keirandal_Chikage]

Its unfortunate that dark lucius gets screwed over by that text. He would be really easy to summon and use if not for that

[@nathankeel6667]

I like lv monsters there not good but there fun

[@MobiusLeader007]

Horus Turbo was very fun indeed back in the day.

[@garrickmills5535]

Cyberdark Impact has 2 extremes: Cards that have seen large meta success over the time. And cards that were unplayable garbage. The good cards were chain strike, instant fusion, vanity’s fiend, black horn of heaven, and the chain link draw card. Practically everything else is horrible.

[@VampireQueen696]

Venom was good with counters though just gotta play them the right way

How is Flash of the Forbidden Spell in Duel Links?

[@kljajic97]

[@jobinjoseph1898]
