Top Ten Terrible "Final Boss" Archetypes in Yu-Gi-Oh

Whoops, you're right! Rex was the "Final Boss" of the arc, but Roman was the leader of the Dark Signers. I should've just said Rex was the final battle or the double agent or something like that.

In the anime the wffect was used when the immortal attacked a monster and luna had a battle trick to destroy it, but he coincidentally had a monster as fodder for its effect. It's the most convolutedly convenient and useless niche anime effect and i love it.

[@Snom_on_a_Bench]

It'd be cool if there were some Toon Extra Deck monsters that you could bring out based on what your opponent had on the field similar to how in the anime the monsters were literally Toon versions of Yugi/Kaiba monsters like Blue-Eyes or Summoned Skull. I see it working kinda like a cross between Super Poly and Mask Change.

[@jayr5277]

Been saying for a long time that fusions and maybe synchros should be on the table. Fusions are obvious (Toon Dragoon, Toon Cyber Dragon fusions, Toon Blue-Eyes Ultimate, etc) Synchros are both because I ran Stardust Dragon in my toon deck for a long time and also because, well… Tooner.

[@thewave-qz9lt]

the sacred beast cards are actually very good with the new yubel cards,you can easily make a hybrid deck with both of their support cards.

[@WolfLandmaster]

Master Duel's solo mode has a fairly creative Timelord strategy. Using them as support in a Lightsworn deck. Since Lightsworn's gimmick is sending your cards from deck to graveyard, you can definitely pull off Sephylon's summoning gimmick a bit easier. But yeah, doesn't really make sense to have a summoning requirement that kind of contradicts what the archetype does.

Wish more justice is done for Bakura. His "Occult" deck in the anime was easily my favorite. Love to see a proper Zorc archetype that tries to turn the duel into a TTRPG just for how stupid it'd be. I can't see them being comfy giving more support to an instant win mechanic like Destiny Board unless they go the Exodia route and make the instant win part a very happenstance side thing and turn it into just a big fuckoff unit on the board. edit: favorite boss monster is Zarc. It's just the ultimate, impractical culmination of all of Yu-Gi-Oh's mechanics up to that point.

[@illyahrthebard3303]

I still have no idea why they gave Ra the monster destruction effect (from his phoenix form), and not the absolute basic effect of gaining the attack of the tributed monsters. The god cards were supposed to reflect a specific play style: beatdown (Obelisk), control (Slifer) and OTK (Ra). Ra is only on the field for a turn at a time because he only needed to be on the field for a turn. You'd gain the attack of all the tributed creatures and then put all your life into him to get his attack to skyrocket.

Tron/Venjix was the epitome of the trope "Disc One Final Boss."

And Faker himself was a Disk One Final Boss because Yuma, Kite, and Shark convinced him to surrender mid match to save his son, but his body got possessed by the TRUE Big Bads of the series, the Barians (specifically Vector, the Big Bad of Season 2)

[@doorto6152]

Really gotta appreciate how the sacred beast support all a fiends with 0/0 stats. Just like Yubel, who later used the sacred beasts. It’s to the point the sacred beast support is used in yubel decks irl. Which is really cool. Considering the time gap between the sacred beast and yubel support, it’s hard to think Konami designed these cards with that forward compatibility in mind. But I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since the sacred beast cards worked with existing yubel cards on release.

Arcana Force card idea: Special Summon two AF cards from your hand or deck to your opponent’s field, select its effect, and it cannot be used as a material for anything other than a tribute or fusion summon. Summon two Chariots to the field as free units to go into your bigger summons.

[@Metalseadraking]

I disagree with anti archetypes. It is possible to maske them somewhat decent while also being hyper fixated on killing a certain kind of opponent. Best example is Buster Blader who can use Buster Dragon to turn every monster into a dragon. The problem with Meklords or Ally of justice for that matter is that they try to be an "anti" archetype, but are at most a nuisance to those kind of decks. Like all Absorb effects of Meklords are spell speed 1 and so if its your opponents turn, your so called anti machine monsters can just watch helplessly as clear mind plays in the background. The Monster that has absorbtion in its name, can't even absorb a monster, has a weaker version of a generic synchro monsters effect and is the only card with a notable negation effect in the entire archetype next to Wisel Speaking of Wisel, why is he the only special child in the Emperor family who throws a tamper tantrum and doesnt let anyone else attack? So what is the key difference between Meklord and Buster Blader and how could Meklord be improved? Buster Blader is a lot faster, its key monsters are easier to bring out AND even if your opponent doesnt fullfill the dragon criteria, Buster Blader has ways to either use other kinds of floodgates or Synchro into Buster Blader to create that Criteria Meklord not only lacks a way to create their own criteria, but also just have lackluster Anti Effects in general. Even if you got the entire Archetype together on a field against a sychnro deck, A Dragon Deck would have much less chances for a comback against a Single Buster Blader fusion. If I could do something about Meklords, I would just allow them to use their owners Extra Deck for Synchro Equipments. Maybe let them use the effects of their equipped monsters like how Synchro Absorbtion Wisel is using a worse version of Stardust Dragon for example

But in the actual card game,these OP cards can be taken down with a mere handtrap or spell/trap that doesn't target one card specifically. But does a boardwipe instead

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Because the anime values the battle phase and targeted destruction effect over all else, you could easily make a boss monster scary in the show by giving it a big attack, battle protection and sometimes immunity to targeted destruction. However, non-targeting and non-destruction removal was super rare in the anime where as in real life it is way more accessible making most of those boss monsters moot.

Alright, hear me out. I love bakura, I love his deck, and honestly I feel the way to make it less awful is to not think destiny board is a win condition but a draw engine, you start the process if it does not hinder your plays and when it gets destroyed you just use dark spirit mastery to draw from shufflinh them back from anywhere. Also I guess it was recorded before it was shown but we did get an earl ofdemise retrain as fusion and it doesn't really helps this deck out because you don't really normal summon and your field will usually be full of lvl8 fiends none of whcih you want to get rid of for a random low stat fusion monster that gives you a second normal summon

[@deltaphazon4688]

It's mentioned that the Dark Signers have an achetype, an unrelated Synchro and then an Earthbound feeling like boss phases, which is true, but that's also just kinda 5DS in general. The Signers have an archetype, barely in Luna's case, and a dragon that's just kinda there, unless you're trying to tell me the original Junk cards synergise with the unconditional omni-negate that is Stardust other than being able to summon it. Jack is the only one who feels like his deck is built around his dragon. Leo is arguably also the case with Power Tool but Lifestream is the Signer Dragon and it's effect based around equips feels really tacked on. So it's not really a Dark Signer problem as it is a 5DS problem as a whole.

Malefic is a great answer for this "question", in the anime (movie) it took 3 protagonists at the height of their power to beat Paradox, in real life it's basically an archetype of Big Beatsticks that run and hide if there is no fieldspell in play... The later support the Archetype is nice and I love how they can more or less make 1 Material Final Sigma, but that is like the 2/3 good cards of the Archetype doing anything, the rest is just, why? Now here is the thing, Konami, more Malefic support means you can give us a 2nd Bonds Beyond Time movie... Think about the movie with Yuma, Yuya and Playmaker vs Bigger Better Paradox. The movie could be so good. And for cards we could get Malefic Utopic Dragon, Malefic Starving Venom, Malefic Odd-Eyes, Malefic Firewalldragon (So far Malefics are either Engines or Dragons, so I stuck with Dragons here)(Yes Firewall is not a Dragon, neither is Cyberdragon, but they are spiritually dragons)

You know for Tron that is funny but his other boss monster "Heraldic beast Genome heriter" has the same effect that Heraldry Crest but better since he Genome heriter also copy the attack and effect and put the other monster at 0 which is the same as Crest but stronger and he is easier to summon

Is MrTopTenList the other 1/3 of D-BOYZ?

[@MrTopTenList]

Of course!

[@MrITSCLOBBERINTIME]

@@MrTopTenList hahahah i should've seen the whole video first!

[@Moshuun]

I remember feeling so let down when Spellbinding Circle didn’t have the 700 atk decrease. Wtf Konami??

[@Lunacorva]

EDOPro has the cards from the anime with their anime effects. I would LOVE to see a duel between the OP Anime Boss monsters and the modern meta cards. Just to see how strong both actually are.

[@RatSpresso]

Ra may not be meta, but I've definitely won with it against some meta decks. He can be an absolute underdog at times, and Sphere Mode can be so busted.

[@MrTopTenList]

Ra deck seems good when you have the right opening. I mainly faced against players on ladder in Master Duel and Duel Links to get the footage, but when they got True Sun God, I really had to concentrate to stay in the game. The floodgate with Sun God is tough to deal with without any other forms of removal.

[@samsaraslight8377]

Honestly, keep them as they are. Just add the effect of handing them over to your opponent if you get the negative effect and prevent them from being tribute or targeted by effects. Thats a quick and easy fix.

[@davideburgassi]

i have a winged dragon of ra deck ( pre rage ) with kuriboh and specialized in defense ; the kuriboh , plus all the cards that give life points ( trap , magic etc ) are very good , expecially the ones that blocks attacks .. you need at least more of 8000 lp for a full combo , but with the right card selection in deck is easy

[@mitchellslaughter2963]

I use a Sacred Beast deck irl (and in Master Duel). I also like using decks focused on Uria (though i prefer to run trap-monsters instead of floodgates)

[@Ryan_McEdgelord]

33:58 So we got that a fusion summon Also, imma need you guys to look at Siegfried's deck cuz its SO bad irl

[@davidsimeon1975]

Which is why I like final boss monsters from the Manga, look at The Supremacy Sun( which is an excellent card to run in Zombie decks) from GX manga, or Dragonnecro Nethersoul Dragon

"Western Cartoon Inspired Counterparts" Manga Ryu Ran cries

[@Tea_Dawg]

I once lost the coinflip to dark sanctuary 17 times in a row, i also had my turn skipped by the world, i won both duels

[@MrTopTenList]

You get a ticket for a free sundae when that happens.

[@enlongjones2394]

Earthbound Immortal retrain idea: Field Spells that turn into big monsters with a sacrifice of some kind. And their field effect remains if the immortal is summoned.

[@Eellex501]

Was it possible for sevens or go rush Final Boss monsters to appear on this list?

[@MrTopTenList]

I'm not too familiar with Rush duel meta outside of what's in Duel Links, but if I learned about how well the antagonist archetypes did when brought to the card game, sure!

[@fadeddragon123]

HONORABLE MENTION TO VIPER AND VENOMS. I want them to be good so bad ;-; Pegasus is probably my favorite antagonist of the first 2 anime’s but god damn do toons suck outside of their main searcher and comic hand or whatever it’s called Zone is my favorite past that- as a character… but I hate timelords Numeron is worse though As for the gods… obelisk has seen competitive play a few times but I can’t say much more than that. Slifer is my favorite but no baseline protection.. Earthbounds are my favorite archetype here but like toons- they suck. Arcana force flavor wise are great but they are gamble cards and therefore bad… outside of cheese with the world loops

[@cupidreindeer5601]

I did play with an idea of a Toon Vampire Lady and Pumpking the King of Toons.

[@TeryJones]

Man I remember a time _(back when GX was still airing)_ when I once thought the Sacred Beasts were cool simply for being the closest thing to playable versions of the Egyptian God Cards. Was even happy that I managed to get all three from Booster Packs.....but then I actually got my hands on playable Egyptian Gods and that was the end of the Sacred Beasts being cool. CONTINUOUS SPELLS/TRAPS TO SUMMON?! REALLY?! Thanks Konami >:/

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, I see, fair and interesting List. I wonder which is the Best Final Boss Archetypes?
