[@alex_zetsu]

Honestly, unless you're playing a mill deck (in which case graceful tear might be better), it's most certainly better than the next 6 spots on the list, I don't think he made that up. Is it bad enough to be on the list? I don't know. Most life point gain cards are little better than a dead draw if you play against a meta deck, so I don't know if it's the 7th, the 10th, or the 13th worst life point gain card, but it certainly is better than the next 6. So you have good life point gain cards, average ones, bad ones, and then clearly the worst that can be neatly arranged in a clear top 6 or 5. Within "bad" they all sort of blend in and it's hard to tell which is worse. You could try the empirical route and see which winning decks contain the most copies of one of these cards, but "0 for all" don't really give much information. Perhaps a good way to test would be to make a deck which is specifically trying to counter the meta, splash 1 copy of the card into the deck, play until you've gotten that card in your hand for at least 7 duels, and then repeat for each card you're testing.

Mooyan Curry has a niche use of artificialy boosting duel ratings in Duel Links.

There may be better cards with that effect, but even though you don't get to choose which card (unless you have only 1 card in your hand, or multiple copies of 1 card) the fact you can take a card from your opponent's hand of your choice while seeing their entire hand and potentially putting a specific card in your opponent's hand does give it some niche usefulness.

There was a LP gain deck you could use in the YGO GX GBA game, but it was really only used in one event where you could duel one of the teachers after failing the monthly exam, and they'd give you money equal to your remaining LP at the end of the duel. Since the goal was just to maximize your LP, there wasn't really a win condition apart from standard beatdown or deckout, since you weren't really trying to win so much as not lose. The goal was to get cards like Cure Mermaid, Spirit of the Breeze, or Dancing Fairy on the field and then use Spells/Traps to keep them alive as long as possible, or utilize an AI exploit that forces all of their monsters into Defense position if you control the highest-ATK monster on the field.

Due to the wording of the card, Muscle Medic's effect applies to both players, so you can use it to crash into your opponent's high attack monsters to gain LP. Alternatively, if this is the only monster on your side of the field during the battle phase, your opponent is going to have to use a card effect to destroy it, unless they're willing to waste an attack that will only result in a heal for you.

(1:35) I figured the main play with Muscle Medic would be setting it for something like Chaos MAX Dragon to crash into. I don't know if the effect of Muscle Medic successfully converts the doubled battle damage, but gaining 7800 LP from an attack does sound pretty hilarious - if ultimately not that meaningful unless you have a Cyber Stein in hand or something to that effect. Though ultimately Muscle Medic is out-classed in usability by cards like Rainbow Life and Draining Shield, and outclassed in quick LP gain potential by cards like Soul Absorption (in Gren Maju decks, for example). (Raising a salute to anyone else who has played a standard competitive duel ending with over 40k LP, inflicting over 30k battle damage in a single battle.)

[@djkates1916]

Keep in mind, Muscle Medic changes only damage it would *inflict* into life gain. Battle Damage you *take* from battles involving Muscle Medic happens normally. EDIT: My above statement is incorrect. See Amiri's comment later in this thread.

[@zaknelthepony7124]

In my opinion, besides Rainbow Life, I think the best LP gain cards are Gingerbread House and Golden Ladybug. Gingerbread house because it also furthers the gamestate. Golden Ladybug because it's hard to get rid of.

[@BloodfelX]

@@AmiriHipHop It may be the logic that the card is destroyed by battle and therefore its effect is no longer active on the field... which would mean you take damage. I don't know if that is the official ruling or not - I'm not up to date on my Muscle Medic rulings. :B

[@djkates1916]

@@BloodfelX Actually, Amiri is correct. I misread the card.

[@BloodfelX]

@@AmiriHipHop Yep, especially if you give it multiple attacks with something like Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce, or by using a card like Double Attack. Likely a rhetorical question, but I felt like giving examples I guess. xD

5:54 I refuse to believe that the fact that 7 is called 7 played no role in why 7 was placed in 7th place. I think you are lying :P

something tells me this list is inspired from a traumatizing experience after facing a certain Ojama with Medicine engine over on Hardleg's channel

I think you have your Numbers 1 and 2 mixed up in the timestamp and description. But Love the video

[@SR-et2gz]

I Love this gag when He ist Like "well If you are able to spam Like 20 Monsters in one Turn .. you better use Cannon soldier"

[@btf_flotsam478]

It's worth noting that (a) you don't have to use the card given by Graceful Tear, and (b) it can be used to trigger the effects of cards that require naming a monster in your opponent's hand (especially with cards that are harder to summon).

[@theaverageDon]

Unless I missed it on your list, maybe try Top Ten 'Monster Reborn' cards, or Cards that gain effects when banished

[@frozenbinarystudio]

Hysteric Fairy was my avatar on Twitter for years because of a really inappropriate pun only one person got. Worth it.

[@ZenoDLC]

For Muscle Medic, isn't there a monster that gains attack on your opponent's turn only (The attack goes to 0 on your turn), maybe a creature swap with that can work?

[@Lightn0x]

I was actually playing Hysteric Fairy back in the day simply because it was a 1800 attack beatstick :D

TOP 10 Cards with Elemental Hero Flame Wingman-like efects (effects that inflict damage equal to a monster’s ATK/DEF when destroyed)

[@danielbrunsch4196]

As a kid we always thought that Creature Swap would make The immortal of the thunder good but were kinda disappointed when we found out that it doesn't work like that.

[@michaellevin664]

Wouldn't Muscle Medic's effect activate on the player if, say, the attack was redirected? Player with Muscle Medic attacks, defending player activates Magic Cylinder

[@CErra310]

Magic Cylinder doesn't redirect an Attack

[@thesacredlobo]

A Fire Princess deck would benefit from gaining the 2,200 life points since you could then burn the opponent for 500 life points for each Fire Princess on your side of the field, but setting up Muscle Medic on the opponent's side of the field in order to abuse such a setup is so resource intensive that you'd rather spend time on much better/effective cards. This is why White Magician Pikeru is better than it's evolved form for such a deck since the act of gaining life points is far more important for a Fire Princess deck than the amount gained.

[@RedJoker9000]

Great video. Just one thing, you mixed up 1 and 2 from the video with what is written/timestamp in the description.

[@hiimemily]

Muscle Medic has three things going for him. 1) searchable off ROTA 2) can attack into defense mode monsters to gain life 3) just look at him

[@kingofthejungle5338]

15:12 I was thinking "it cant be that hard to summon this thing, right?" but hoo boy that spell card is abysmal

[@majelalover8837]

Immortal of Thunder was bad? Have you seen the life points gain? The more I have the harder it is for my opponent to beat me obv

[@BloodfelX]

Granadora still has a soft spot in my heart, even if it only gives 1000 LP by its own effect.

[@damjanp7920]

Agreed. I use it in my macro cosmos based deck and it works great

[@spacesmorgy6820]

I feel like this video was made in response to the Blue and red medicine junkie named Lime.

[@astralguardian5930]

With Graceful Tear I could see it possibly being used to give the opponent a "bad card" or something that just takes space. But most situations that is still not worth it at all

[@dragonarchive7443]

I remember using the immortal of thunder, and circumventing its downside with rain goat.

[@Elizabeth-kv7lg]

I think a top 100(107), ranking each "Number" Xyz monster (Including/Excluding Number C or any variation of the original Number. Not sure if you'd want to feature the Numeron Gate Numbers 1-4 or the "Fake" 1-4 Numbers i.e. Cicada King) with a brief summary of it's relevance and strengths/weaknesses would be really cool. If the time and energy invested into researching them isn't too exhausting that is!

[@Trekkie46]

Decided to use the original artwork for Barrel Behind The Door. Respect. Still pushing for top 10 Earth Machines.

[@craigyeah1052]

"{This card is number seven} because this card is definitely worse than the 3...before it, but it is definitely worse than the next 6." I now understand tier lists. No but 7 being at 7 is awesome. Also been watching Yu Gi Oh and I think a lot about how gaining life points isn't that much of an advantage, it's interesting, because inflicting life point damage IS an advantage, so obviously taking that away from your opponent is good, but then there's that thing where you only need 1 to win. Suffice to say, you made a good point I got a lot of thought out of.

[@hazza0924]

I think seeing the top 10 worst level 4 monsters will be exciting Since its a very popular level with so many good monsters

@@TheDuelLogs You also made my friend's day in that episode. His first yugioh card was Labyrinth Tank and he was so happy you summoned it.

[@hungryhippowdon7141]

You know Hysteric Fairy is an old card when it tells a player to "offer" monsters as Tribute. Are there any cards in the game besides Graceful Tear that can cause a player to have cards in their hand that belong to their opponent?

[@WingedEspeon]

[@Amsel_616]

Man Princess Pikeru and Curran need either a errata to be able to re-summon them after they die or be on every standby phase instead of just yours.

[@adamnovak7602]

I saw a funny interaction with Muscle Medic where they would make Numerounius Numerounia, give it to their opponent, and then attack it with Muscle Medic and use another card to give it battle protection. This would increase their life points by 97,800, which is hilarious. A good strategy? No, not at all. But it's hilarious.

[@KinneyChan]

Didn't even know that equip spell and the upgraded forms of the monsters needed existed from the number one spot lol

[@demonwolf8024]

My favorite deck was a combo of old and, at the time, new cards. I combined Geartown and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon with Magical Hats and stall cards like Destiny Hero Defender, Spirit Reaper, Arcana Force 0 The Fool, Spirit Barrier, Mirror Force, Waboku, Gravity Bind, Swords of Revealing Light, Messenger of Peace, Level Limit Area B. Sprinkle in a few Counter cards and get ready for a slow brew salty opponent that randomly gets wrecked by 2-3 Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragons popping up randomly in one turn.

[@chrismiller3548]

A card called psychic eraser laser is really good for nurse burn. It non targeting sends an opponents extra deck monster to the grave and then your opponent gains LP equal to its attack

[@kralik394]

Cards that break the written rules. Ex. Cards that can un-banish themselves, cards that skip phases, cards that allow you to take actions that are normally exclusive to your turn during your opponent's turn.

[@AshbornXVI]

LP gain is already a bad mechanic, but this cards take that into extreme levels

[@P.I.M.P.]

LP gain isn't a bad mechanic, it is just underpowered. Imagine dragoon's effect with x2 LP gain instead of burn. Konami is scared of this mechanic for no reason. Even the best LP gain decks like aromages gain 500-3000 LP per turn which feels like a joke compared to inferno tempest+soul absorption combo

[@tho_tho]

For Immortal of Thunder, you CAN use it to help you get off the effect of Life Equalizer, but it still is really bad, especially since even then, Wall of Revealing Light does a much better job at it! PS: If you just want ridiculous LP gains btw, either go Manticore of Darkness loop with Card of Safe Return and Solemn Wishes out (gain up to ~27K LP on 60 card decks) or Dark Snake Syndrome with Prime Material Dragon (way slower and gives LP to opponent too, but is the single biggest LP gain possible after a lot of turns in a 2v2 co-op setting with 60 cards each capping at a few multiples of SEPTILLION LP per turn after like 110+ turns, even 1v1).

[@ecos889]

You got 2 and 1 mixed up in the sub headders just a heads up. :) Great video though.
