Top Ten Pot Cards in Yu-Gi-Oh

Some of the most iconic Yugioh cards are the pots, which are a bunch of pottery with faces that lets you draw or add cards to your hand usually. Pot of Greed set the stage of many other pots to be added to the game, and if they aren’t meta, they at least grab our attention for a second when they’re released. We want to look at the best and brightest of the pot cards in Yugioh, both for effect and aesthetics. Judgment Meter joins me for this one, too.

@@MrTopTenList I have a idea for yugioh video. how does the video on weirdest archetypes in yugioh sound like? One I can think of is Gunkan archetype. Now, we had non-monster trains and cars in yugioh but those things can actually be dangerous when they run you over. But THESE?! Majority of them are just sushi! granted, they are giant portions of of shushi but still! If these things were ever animated for anime, how the Sam Hill would they even work, let alone attack?!

Pot of Riches kinda looks like a lion on Pot of Prosperity. Anyone else seeing this?

Looks more like a monk to me, I see a fork and spoon , so the riches might be food?

[@tylerlane8221]

One of these days pot of generosity is going to be broken by a weird deck that return cards from you hand to the deck to do broken things

[@TyrannisXR30]

I could never understand why pot of greed was banned as a kid... now as an adult who has played magic the gathering, I understand the value of digging for answers in a sixty card deck. Digging for two in a 40 card deck? It is quite big

Pot of Benevolence probably banishes itself so you cant pull it back into the deck with another Pot of Benevolence, creating a cycle

[@tommy8323]

The opposite card to Pot of Greed should be Pot of Need

[@matheusgomespinto4915]

Pot Of Greed may be banned but its legacy lives to the other pots to which is the draw power.

[@leonardolim8976]

I guess the purpose of desire is let's say u use pot of greed but u still only draw garnetts in your hand. Desire can probably wipe any chance to draw garnetts but it could also hurt u too

[@MrUFO-yu2sh]

Great job, love it when JM is your cohost.

[@MrTopTenList]

Thank you!

[@Vidar93]

Its not just that pot of greed is a +1, that is definitely part of it. The other part is that it is so universally useful in every deck that every deck would have to use however many copies were legal which limits deck building.

[@ericwollam5532]

Not only that but exodia players tend to ruin any cards that let you draw for any cost. Or rather people that just want to do FTK shenanigans in general. If a card like Chicken game or Upstart Goblin can't even be trusted, there's absolutely no way anyone will be allowed to play with pot of greed again.

[@annakoutsandreou2214]

@@MrTopTenList your welcome

[@christiancinnabars1402]

To reiterate on why Pot of Greed is banned, it also has to do with how it limits deckbuilding. If it were Limited (as in, one copy is allowed per deck), then _everyone_ would just slap one copy of it into their deck due to how free it is. Then _everyone_ would by default have 39 card decks instead of 40 card decks. Because turning one draw into two draws is never a bad thing. Or in semi-frequent cases, turning one draw into an instant forced negate pop from your opponent is never a bad thing. And I guess I can see a _few_ fringe scenarios where PoG isn't entirely beneficial, such as excavating your deck and looking for monster cards. Imagine a Pot of Greed stopping Yami's Berserker Soul moment deadshort. But those moments are so few and far between that they don't necessarily outweigh its sheer effect on deckbuilding. For comparison, Upstart Goblin, a card that draws only one card and _gives your opponent 1,000 Life Points,_ is just barely Limited (at least in the TCG) and has stayed as such for the longest time. Removing it's only drawback and doubling its gains? Too much for the game.

[@johnathenyoungs4850]

I'm surprised when pot of greed wasn't band there weren't more uses of a card that negates pot of greed

[@anonymousoff-brand7538]

[@nharviala]

One, I feel like this video should have been done on the 20th... second, Pot of Acquisitiveness was really good to side in against ABC decks when they were meta, since it stopped the tag out dead and drew you a card, and could always be done in response.

Hello there, MrTopTenList. I know that this comment will likely not be seen by you, but if it is, I wanted to thank you so much for all of the content you have provided over the years. Whether it be on fighting games, Yu-Gi-Oh, or other forms of pop culture, your videos have always been successful in making me enjoy watching until the very end. If at all possible, could you please possibly consider making a video for "Top 10 Strangest Characters to Fight in Fighting Games"? By that, I mean characters who behave differently than the rest of the cast regarding how their moves, specials, attacks, and etc. work in the game they are in. For instance, Phoenix Wright from MvC3, Junpei from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Hakumen from Blazblue, Hanato Yamada from Bleach Shattered Blade, and Angel from King of Fighters, just to give a few ideas. Please consider covering these sorts of characters in a future video if at all possible, and even if you choose not to, I will still love and enjoy all of your future content. Thank you once again for all of your hard work, and please consider my suggestion if you ever have the chance. :)

[@MrTopTenList]

Thank you for the suggestion! Weird Fighting Game Characters has been on my idea list for awhile now, so it's just a matter of time when I get to writing it. I really want to talk about the Karakuri puppet in Samurai Shodown and that's the perfect topic for it.

[@Evixyn]

I love judgment meters inclusion in these videos, she always makes me laugh, ha ha. I do agree that pot of extravagance is a fantastic card for those under dog trap decks such as "Eldlich The Golden Lord" ha ha. I would love to see a lore video covering the goblin of greed. Maybe in the next half decade we could see pot of greed released from the ban list at a single copy. The rush duel pot card would he fantastic in trap decks in original Yu-Gi-Oh, especially with a single copy of pot of greed.

[@MrTopTenList]

Goblin of Greed was in my first backstory video, but his story has progressed so much since 2018, there's way more cards with him to give him a part 2 for the next backstory list, similar to how Condemned Witch got more story after I covered her.

[@novasoul99]

going plus 1 is not rare in yugioh these days but the reason Pot of Greed specifically is banned is simple. Imagine you go first in a duel (so you have advantage already) and you start with 5 cards. If one of them is pot of greed, you play it and now you start with 6 cards. That's basically against the rules and it's just too broken lol. Also your opponent can't possibly stop you from resolving pot of greed on your turn one. So yeah that's the reason imo.
