One reason why I no longer play other than its expense and the fact that all decks are themed and if you don't have all the cards in that theme then your deck is useless.

I wouldn’t say that’s true as there is rogue decks that do exist that have random cards in the deck to do stuff yeah it might not be the most effective but you can still win if sometimes a play go the right way however I do see what your saying that a lot of cards do follow a theme that makes deck building a bit of a hindrance to where almost every single deck now is either the same or follows a similar theme and it gets a bit boring

Astrograph was banned because of Metalfoes Link monster, basically if you summon this Link monster and you use its effect to add Astrograph from the deck to the extra deck, then use the 2nd effect to destroy a card in your pendulum zone to add Astrograph to your hand, the Link monster allows you to draw 1 card, and Astrograph special summons itself and add a monster with the same name as the destroyed monster, so basically you had 2 cards but now you have 4 cards. Meanwhile Starving Venom Zarc monster got banned for 2 reasons, the first one because of Metalfoes Link, if you summon SVZ after youve done that combo, you can copy the Link monster effect, the second reason because of Lyrical Luscinia Fusion Monster, if it copies her effect, Starving venom deals 4000 damage, if you summon another one, you deal another 4000 damage. For Ancient Fairy Dragon, it was banned because you could summom it easily with Destrudo, a level 7 dragon tuner, if activate Dragon Ravine field spell, and you discard destrudo to send from your deck Zarc Servant, you basically have a free special summon for a level 4, and add a level 7 pendulum (the gates) to you hand, activate destrudo effect and special summon it as a level 3, synchro summon Anciemt Fairy, destroy the field, gain 1000 life points, add ABC field spell, and you still have a normal summon to start all your combos.

Morphing jar had a few reasons why it got banned. Main reason was at the time dark world came out, morphing jar and card destruction were a big part in dark worlds. But I do remember a lock where if you had “protector of the sanctuary “ on the field when you flipped morphing jar, both players would discard, but only you would draw 5 while your opponent didn’t draw anything. Also considering the fact that you can set your whole hand and jar, then have jar flip would mean that you gain +5.

[@Zelda345able]

Banned cards: exists Banlist: also exists for reasons Konami when a banned card needs changed: I'LL MAKE AN ERRATA OUT OF YOU

[@MrMarinus18]

16:00 The reason it remained banned for so long was because at the same time metamorphosis got banned the card instant fusion was introduced. That allowed you to special summon 1 level 5 or lower fusion monster. You could uses it as a counter to pretty much everything.

[@Crazy_Dialga]

I do miss Astrograph and SK Starving Venom as a Pendulum Magician player. I understand that Astrograph will probably have to stay banned (at least for a little while).

I think you only did 2 little mistakes, in the Yatagarasu combo you said that you special summoned Chaos Emperor Dragon with Sangan or Witch of the Black Forest but what you did was send either of those to the GY with Emperor to search Yata and in Dark Magician of Chaos the combo is not an attacking one, you don't attack with neither monster, you just tribute DMoC with Cannon Soldier infinitely. Regarding Morphing Jar, it was banned for so long because there way too many cards with good graveyard effects in the game, so just flipping a flipping Jar to send a bunch of monsters to the grave for free can be really broken, also if you have 1 card in hand and flip it you go +4 right there, the video was really good and I liked it a lot :)

[@alexscott2484]

Kinda off-topic, but I wanted to mention one of my craziest theories on VRAINS and how season 2 could end. I thought about your theory that Kaiba would be the final antagonist of ARC-V, and it actually would make more sense for Kaiba to be the last villain of VRAINS, i.e. the Sol King Chess Piece. I've always thought VRAINS was on the DSoD timeline where Kaiba created the precursor to VRAINS in the movie, and he could have digitized his consciousness or something to live well into the future. Note that I don't think we have ever even heard the King Chess Piece speak and chess was the other game aside from Duel Monsters that had a large impact on Kaiba's life. I could imagine season 2 could end with Queen talking to King about how everything has fallen into place and it pans back to reveal Kaiba is King. Don't think this is particularly likely but wanted to throw it out there. Btw you should do a video of craziest theories for VRAINS. I had another one personally that Den City, i.e. the real world of VRAINS is also VR and that is why Yusaku could see into VRAINS in the real world in Episode 2, so he's like Neo in the Matrix.

[@crystalbreaker947]

Interesting enough, I had the exact same tought while taking a shower, of proposing Dylan another "KAIBA THEORYYY" for Vrains. Also, that Matrix theory sounds so freaking cool. When are we getting a Digimon (as a franchiese, or core) and Yugioh VRAINS crossover?! or even fanart at least...

[@Marcusjnmc]

that would be cool, only Kaiba traveled back into the past at the end

[@HunterStiles651]

Two things 1: VRAINS takes place 10 years out from the present day, so Kaiba would only be in his 40's during the time of VRAINS and uploading his conscious to VR wouldn't be necessary since he's got a long way to go before he has to worry about dying. 2: Kaiba didn't go back to the past. He went to the Egyptian Afterlife, hence why Atem's reaction to seeing him was a confident smile and not "the fuck are you wearing Priest Seto?"

[@furiza-sama3217]

Why would VRAINS take place 10 years after TDSOD?

[@HunterStiles651]

Furiza-Sama It doesn't take place 10 years after DSOD. It takes place 10 years from today, in late 2020's. So it takes place 30 years after when DSOD would take place (in the late 90's)

Injection Fairy Lily was banned for some interesting reasons: 1. Monster Removal was easy. Raigeki and Dark Hole were so commonly played, that getting an empty board was easy 2. She can be searched by Sangan and Witch of the Black Forest 3. There are 3 big cards to Special Summon from the Graveyard - Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted and Premature Burial. 4. She is imune to Trap Hole 5. She was a normal summonable 3400 Atk Beatstick, that could easily go for game. A lot of Duels ended with her being normal summoned, a 2nd copy being revived, then Raigeki. You would pay 4000 to deal 6800 - a fair price. With a much slower game going one, this was really strong and hard to punish. If you couldn´t destroy her with Raigeki, you basically lost, because they could do their effect on either players turn.

The initial reason Makyura the Destructor was added to the ban list was the OTK combo it created with Call of the Haunted + Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow. If you had CtY in your graveyard and activated Makyura's effect, you could play call of the haunted to summon CtY and attack your opponent directly. This would trip CtY's effect and allow you to return call of the haunted to your hand which would send CtY back to the graveyard. You could rinse and repeat until your opponent reached 0.

It definitely had to happen

[@cameraredeye3115]

@Hattan AlShutaifi Not anymore. Playmaker has 3 other - and better - candidates for that title.

[@maxeffortliftz1086]

They freed stratos after ages. I was happy

[@Marcusjnmc]

@Hattan AlShutaifi Firewall's terrible interactions with the card game was already affecting it's anime appearance, it was likely planned before VRAINS started to be an amazing boss monster but they designed it really badly and over the top so ended up hardly using it after it caused so many issues in the card game, also they realized the mechanic didn't need Firewall & cards that make Link summoning easier have zero need for Firewall's help, eg. Yusaku has so many cards that special summon themselves or others that Firewall often has nothing in hand to extend with even if it was summoned more.

Dude morphing jar is ridiculous with it's draw power since most decks empty out their hand very fast so morphing jar refreshes it completely and can be used as a deckout tool

[@theskullboy8700]

Sadly it has fallen from grace

[@CyberXrossEntity]

I thought Chaos emperor would get higger because its banned in the anime as well

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Banned according to Yu-Gi-Oh GX. There was no mention of a ban when Kaiba used it in the original series.

[@CyberXrossEntity]

@@ShiningJudgment666 they could have banned like 5 years after the series because of how good it is

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@CyberXrossEntity It was overpowered. Plain and simple. It has it's own FTK with the Gearfried, Royal Magical Library and Butterfly Dagger - Elma endless draw engine, it's a reset button that doesn't "Destroy" and it can facilitate a lockdown your opponent pretty much has no hope of escaping and topdecking into it in longer games can win you the game. It was one of the reasons Solemn Judgment started seeing common play. It was just far too powerful to leave unchecked. Anime or not.

Morphing Jar (and Cyber Jar) allows the “Empty Jar” strategy of decking out your opponent by constantly flipping it up and down with other cards. Unlike a card like Needle Worm (that just mills 5 cards from the top of the opponent’s deck), the Jars let you replenish your resources by drawing/excavating Cards over and over again, allowing you to access more of the cards that let you flip it up and down. This strategy being viable at all is justification enough for Morphing Jar needing to be re-banned. The likely reason it even got unbanned was to promote the Danger archetype (which revolves around discarding cards).

[@TheJaredPunch]

Cyberse Clock Dragon was a better Ace monster anyway

[@YugiohEverything]

I agree! And Quantum is amazing

[@KingofAnime7]

please do a top 20 for the Spells and Traps too please :)

[@femmefuntime]

I’m kinda mad ancient fairy is banned. Just ban the other cards that allow ftks

[@zel7600]

it was banned for more than just the ftks. when links came out there was a loop it did with union and blue eyes making 2 union fusions and a crystal wing consistently. on a good draw it would just get worse from there.

[@MrMarinus18]

8:20 Because it's power was huge. If you got a good set-up you could make a massive play to summon several synchro monsters. Then flip up morphing jar and draw 5 more cards. Also if you drew it during your opening hand you could set most of your cards and if your opponent attacked it then you could get a very large card advantage.

[@No-lb6kg]

why ancient fairy is banned?any one can help?

[@oldcardsaregettingtoogoodh5448]

We have set rotation and the fact that you activate Union hanger than search but than ancient fairy effect destroy field spells search for the same one if you want. You would use union hanger again for a search which is fucked up.

[@peteryanes9339]

Lot of reason it was so good

[@Saixjacket]

I miss it in blue eyes, but it’ll come back someday

[@ErgoZenkage]

Excellent video, ban cards are always interesting to learn about. Morphing jar not sure exactly why it was banned but I mean the card could be used in deck out strategy and it refills your hand. Poor ancient fairy dragon

[@YugiohEverything]

Thank you! =)

[@ryuuuuuuuuuun800]

Ha. Ancient fairy dragon is still in duel links

[@ainain8821]

Because no one play field spell lul

Hey Dylan, thanks for always putting in the hard work and research! Here’s hoping you have a great Christmas/holiday 🎄♥️

[@jeffbryant792]

I hope ancient fairy dragon does not get nerfed to hard

[@No-lb6kg]

yess :(

[@DropOutStratos]

I also forgot to say, Morphing Jar was banned for the same mill, using it and Hand Destruction was annoying, also you can draw and reset Morphing Jar with Book of Moon and the other one that flips him back up

[@MrMarinus18]

Not really. That mill strategy wasn't all that powerful. What did make it powerful was the amount of card advantage it can grant you. Especially if you can use it multiple times. If you used giant trunade and sent their backrow back to their hand and then set your own it can grant you a lot of advantage. Also with cards like the fabled and especially dark world the cards you discard are actually not a cost at all since they activate. So it's essentially a free +4.

[@oramakorel1083]

Zarc: I summon Astrograph sorcerer! *It turns to dust* Zarc: No! This, this can't be possible! *He starts turning to dust* Zarc: NOOO!

Just do me one thing for me plz Yuya: if you find Yuzu tell her that I... I... *Turns complete to dust* Aster: well that easy, I call dibs on his deck.

Yeah you got the banhammer you

[@LokiToxtrocity]

And thus Yugioh anime keeps it's tradition of killing any chance of romantic couples.

[@jimmyha1898]

Oh dang. I thought my boy Emperor would be the number 1. He's such a badass monster :D. Summoning conditions, stats, effect, artwork, the FEELS of slamming him down onto the field as that giant middle finger to the other guy's board.

[@mr.mimikyu2342]

Ancient fairy over chaos emperor dragon excuse me wut

[@DKQuagmire]

i'm currently playing duel links. they just released a new box with ancient fairy dragon as the mascot for the box as an ultra rare card. if you don't have the gems to grind the packs you can just use Luna's mark of the dragon ability, that adds ancient fairy dragon to your extra deck at the start of the duel as well as 2 spore tuner monsters.

[@bigduelssevens2309]

Still kinda harth to believe Firewall Dragon whas banned considering it whas I think supposed to be Yusaku's Ace

[@YugiohEverything]

Yeah for real, he's just barely been utilized at all

[@bigduelssevens2309]

Firewall Dragon have only appeared in 4 duels I think and in 1 he didn't do anything

[@pidgeyottot3527]

@Hattan AlShutaifi Doesn't affect *what* now? :D

[@pidgeyottot3527]

Not much would change :D He almost didn't use him anyway ;)

[@Marcusjnmc]

supposed to be there being key, Firewall seems like a very early concept theoried before Playmaker's playstyle & deck was really determined just based on 'what would be really strong with this mechanic' and not much other thought on it. It would have been interesting if it had had a more Firewall esque protection effect, possibly similar to some of the Knightmares, or maybe caused co-linked monsters to banish things they battled, so it would feature more centrally rather than just being an extender.

[@master-of-dreams7455]

To be honest, I always thought Astrograph Sorcerer was going to be the puppeteer behind Zarc. Boy was I wrong!

[@julianluk3489]

Dark magician admits that he is too broken. Bans himself for causing this loop.

[@wyomingptt]

I'm sure someone else already mentioned it but Starving Venom was banned because of the Lyriclusc (sp?) Fusion monster. It burns for 500 LP for every level. So you Instant Fusion it out link it off for Link Kuriboh or something then get 4 Dark Pendulum monsters on the field (which is fairly easy), Summon out 2 Starving Venom then use each to copy the effect of Assembled Nightingale, they'll each do 4K of damage. There's also anther card banned because of that card. Super Conductor Tyranno or something (not the new Dino boss monster but an older card can't remember the name, but it basically had the same copy an effect from the GY thing). The OCG did it the right way and just banned Assembled Nightingale.

[@Shay96]

Nobody’s commented in a while, but it is funny to scroll through the older comments. There seem to be a lot of people who don’t realise Magician of Black Chaos and Dark Magician of Chaos are two different monsters. The former is a non effect ritual monster used by Yugi in DM, while the latter retrain was only used by Dimitri in GX.

[@rockthedwaynejohnson7380]

I kinda find it funny that ancient fairy dragon is the only card the banned in the tcg and ocg that is unlimited in Duel links of all places.

[@rockthedwaynejohnson7380]

I was just saying I found it funny

[@slevinchannel7589]

Bakura is a Legend. His cards were good for the time where he played it. I just want him to come back in another form, playing a Good, Powerful Deck. He was underused and still cool, but if he gets used right, he might become a real Legend.

[@ninjacya3219]

Hey YGO Everything, nice video, but what about Chaos Emperor Dragon himself? You mentioned him for Yatagarasu but Kaiba did use him in a duel against Ziegfried or whatever his name is.

Sangan was the perfect card to fit for Tour Guide effect also could search the Rescue Rabbit (banned in this meta DinaRabbit/Wind-Up/Inzektor/and incoming Mermail)

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

Besides mill decks a big reason morphing jar got hit was bc it could potentially give you a huge card advantage. Let’s say you play your entire hand and set morphing jar. And you pray they didn’t have black hole or heavy storm. Now let’s say you’re opponent doesn’t have the cards necessary to punish you for overextending, so they play it say and only set a few and or attack it recklessly. Well now you get a +5 draw and they get a plus 0, basically a card destruction for them and 2 pots and 1 jar of greed for you. The new hand may help them out or it may hurt them if their best cards got discarded. But it probably helped you a lot more as you have both an entire field in play and a whole new hand in your wings for backup. Considering how strongly Konami hates pot of greed and other free +2’s it really shouldn’t surprise anyone that a potential +3, +4, or even a +5 got banned for being such a simple flip effect.

[@ghostviolinist2650]

OH BOY TIME FOR MY FAVORITE THING! Find out what has been banned in the ocg game from yugioh everything XD

Great Video!

[@NightSprinter]

Yeah, Lily was used in some pretty sick rushdown OTK decks in the past before she was sent the "not playable in sactioned" asylum with a Boot to Da Head. Her base ATK stat is only 1500, but when attacked or attacking (even if the card is used for a direct attack), the controlling player can pay a cost of 2000LP to raise its ATK by a whopping THREE THOUSAND. Plus given this let it get over numerous boss cards that didn't have the clause of "this card cannot be destroyed as a result of battle", who cares if you pay 25% of your starting LP so long as you had 2k1 or more.
