Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Cards That Parody Other Cards

[@drawbyyourselve]

I live the idea of the rush monsters, it's such a fun concept. Imagine goblin attack force turned into firefighters, policemen, lawyers, salarymen etc.

[@ItsPForPea]

One archetype this video this the Baseball Onomatopia ones, I wish he at least showed the "King of Baseball: Home"

[@otaking3582]

Too bad rush duels themselves are a really stupid concept.

[@ItsPForPea]

@@otaking3582 too bad you are a really stupid concept.

[@caswellweird]

@@otaking3582 false. they are an extremely fun concept that takes elements of the game and spins them in a different direction. Cutting out needlessly long effect text for SS’ing conditions in favor of just simple trigger or continuous effects and letting you summon infinitely inherently. What we get is a card game pretty devoid of power creep, allowing people to have more options.

[@otaking3582]

@@caswellweird No, it's just another pointless gimmick meant to dumb down the game for mobile phones, while also forcing players to buy a completely new set of cards *AGAIN*

[@unigenius]

I like how in the rush duels, Dian Keto pretty much gets her life story told. Because each card seems to be younger than the last. So, it seems she started as a Warden, but then lost her job when the witches escaped. So then she became a chef which led her to becoming a disco queen by night. All of those years of cooking and dancing showed her that life is better caring for people and making them happy rather than ruling with fear like when she was a warden. So once she's an old lady, she just gives everyone 1000 hp back by letting them just...relax.

[@mikai4738]

There's now Dian Keto the Cure Maiden which is basically Dian Keto as a child.

[@AeonKnigh432]

I wish there were some supplementary material for the cards. The closest comparison to what I want is League of Legends weirdly, where the champions all have a block of lore text and usually also a couple short stories about them. Imagine if Yugioh archetypes got short stories telling their lore, it would be so cool

[@christiancinnabars1402]

The thing with Cold Wave(and probably some other banned cards that I can’t think of right now) is that it got _stronger_ as the game got faster. In Unga Bunga times, going a turn without spell/traps wasn’t the worst thing in the world. It hurt for sure, but it usually didn’t immediately result in a game end. Meanwhile, for example, Raigeki could undo many turns worth of summoning in one go. In modern Yugioh, it’s flipped. Everyone and their mom can paste 19 or so boss monsters on the field per phase, so Raigeki became obsolete. But because of that, each turn’s importance becomes magnified. So Cold Wave, limited by only its effect duration, affects more of the duel than it did back then. As a result, while Raigeki and Harpie’s Feather Duster became unbanned over time, Cold Wave became more oppressive over time, and probably won’t leave the banlist until a potential massive overhaul in the game’s mechanic. This is probably already known by most people in this comment section, but I felt like explaining for anyone who doesn’t get it.

[@RedDragonForce2]

Another thing about the burial cards is that the barren ground is reddish purple, like the trap card background, while the grassy field is green, like the spell card background.

[@TheShadowDeer]

Considering Weed Out's effects of destroying Level 3 monsters in comparison to Return from the Different Dimension, it might be possible all Level 3 monsters aren't being spat out... they might be getting sucked into the Different Dimension. Instead of falling from a rip in space time the rip opened up and sucking them up like a black hole. Furthering the parody of instead of returning them to help it just sucking them in.

[@lpfan4491]

"Garbage-Eyes Fat Dragon". Bro never even got to live before he was obliterated. Poor dragon. Also yeah, the bubble era-cards are great because they are just really funny. The Elf is in a phase where she just wants to party and thus temporarily lost her holy protection, which nulls her defence points. Changel of Heart(Funny name, btw.) is just downright silly because the name and her flavortext applying her uneven personality to her job. That the original anime established a thematic connection between her and Bakura makes it even more hilarious in a way. I just imagine the guy deciding to turn evil, but he's really not so all he comes up with is to start working as a waiter to ruin the days of some randos by acting like a troll.

[@SoftwareAgentsTV]

Great job with the thumbnail!

[@homerman76]

What makes the humble sentry even worse is the fact that there are much better cards for shuffling cards back into your deck, like Magical mallet and card trader, and even those aren't exactly very useful 😂

[@paradoxfacter8707]

True but with sentry you can flex what you have in your hand before they use card destruction on it.

[@Suzduko667]

Except both cards you listed allow the player to recover the lost card advantage with their follow-up draw effects, turning them, at worst, into a -1 while The Humble Sentry is a -2 with the additional downside of potentially giving away the player's strategy.

Terra the Honorable needs to be made. The ant rush duel cards and the bubble monsters appeared in the anime. It's hilarious. A few episodes in Rush Duels, there were Jersey wearing counterparts of Bean Soldier, Cannon Soldier and Black Luster Soldier. I think the name of the Black Luster Soldier is Black Luster Soljersey in English. It is surprising how bad toon monsters were in the real game compared to the anime. When I and my friends played and somebody attacked our Toon monster, we would say "I dodge it." or something. So our toon monsters would never suffer defeat. I realized Dai Grepher got so many effects and retrains but nothing has to do with his original flavor text which talks about how he can manipulate dragons. The closest thing we got is him wearing Spirit Ryu's armor and negating Spells or Traps. Why don't we see him manipulate any other dragon?

[@buddyzilla4557]

I use finite cards in a bounce deck on Duel Links. It contains cards like Penguin Soldier. Nightmare Penguin, Nopenguin, Abyss solier and other bounce cards. With the smaller deck and field size this acts as a stun/stall deck. Finite cards helps keep their hand small so I don't hurt as much if they try to stop my Nopepenguin from comboing. Controlling their field and hand size until I can smash them with the higher attack cards like Nopenguin or Abyss Soldier buffer through Nightmare Penguin or XYZ monsters is the main strategy. I originally created it just to be fun but found it can be surprisingly successful! People get caught off guard and underestimate how frustratingly disruptive it can be to agressive deck strategies. The use of Finite cards seems pointless considering Nopenguin Banoshes the bounced cards anyway, but it prevents my opponent from saving cards in their hand for a big one turn combo. If they can keep stuff off the field then lay down everything at once to get over my defences, they have a shot. If their max hand is 3 cards at the end of the turn however, it prevents them from saving just that right combo and helps my weak little bouncers stay safe.

[@bulkbogan2242]

So here's a fun fact. The "Bubble Era" cards are in fact referencing japan during their economic bubble in the 80's. This is evident in the cards "Bubbly Elf" and "Dian Keito the Boogie Master" weilding fans while on the dance floor and "Lady of Pumps" wearing a body-con dress (body concious) which were all fads during that time. As well as the mirror ball referencing disco which was also the fad in 80's japan. As well as "Shoulder Phone Nyan-Nyan" who is both referencing shoulder phones, which were the very early mobile phones as well as telephone clubs which were a thing in 80's japan in which men would pay for a session and get a private room with a telephone and talk to women and the women were random.
