[@Yami-no-Raiden]

The duel with Marik isn't even the most humiliating thing for Slyfer. In the final duel between Yugi and Atem, Yugi is able to defeat the 3 god cards by using Slyfer's own ability against them, literally being the one to drag down the team. On top of that, Slyfer was the target of Atem's final ace, Monster Reborn..which Yugi had negated. That's right, the FINAL MOMENT of the original Yu-Gi-Oh's FINAL DUEL, involves Slyfer fading away helplessly.

[@TheSilverPhoenix100]

Yeah Slyfer always felt like a terrible card honestly, its 2000 point nuke seems good but yeah its also been the downfall of that card many times and honestly it has a very large cap on its attack power and thats only if your not playng any cards or have infinite cards in your deck. Ra and Obelesk are far better as Obelesk's two abilities are absurd and its got a base 4000 attack and Ra you can just keep sacrficing monsters and life points to make it unstopable or just have it phoenix mode the field

[@AnotherLuckyStar]

I dunno, this ranking system seems biased against defense-focused monsters. They should be awarded points based on how many attacks they blocked and/or how long they delayed the opponent from attacking.

[@hi-i-am-atan]

The fact that the lists factors in damage and times when they leave the field for a summon or effect actually removes that bias. See, defense-focused monsters in YGO just ... aren't actually really good. All they really do is deal some minor damage when your opponent attacks into them with a weaker monster ( unlikely in this context, what with the anime regularly summoning monsters in _face-up_ defense position until ZEXAL, which ... yeah, you're not gonna trick your opponent into doing that like that ) or provide very slow fuel for other cards that usually won't lead you to lose LP if they get beaten in battle. That's literally all they do, and they're not really even good at the latter unless you've genuinely got nothing better because their slowness means your opponent can accumulate field presence without difficulty, too. Basically, any defensive monster doing well on this sort of list means that it actually _served its purpose_ as a defensive monster, because it wasn't destroyed ( preventing it from going -1 in score ) and allowed the user to Tribute Summon something bigger ( increasing its score ). 'Course, since that's _all_ the monster really does, it's still not going to get high up on a list. But that's just how it goes when an 1800 ATK monster is _so_ much better than a 1800 DEF monster, because the 1800 ATK monster will survive most everything that the 1800 DEF one will, but can _also_ use its higher stat to actively impact the board state and your opponent's LP through attacks, whereas all the higher DEF one has going for it is ... surviving battle with a monster that has exactly the same ATK as its DEF. Yeah, uh, even outdated battle Traps like Mirror Force, Threatening Roar, and Waboku are all gonna do the job _far_ better than any single monster will, barring any _really_ potent defensive effects that you're not likely to find on any monster worth the effort to summon because as it happens, powerful stalling without much counterplay does not make for a very fun game.

[@sammykent5752]

@@hi-i-am-atan While I do understand the point you're making, I have to disagree with your statement that DEF monsters in YGO aren't good. If your statement was mainly referring to that era of YGO, where we mainly had normal monsters and not that many effect monsters, then definitely, the majority of Defence Monsters in that era weren't that viable for the reasons you mentioned. But pretty much since the GX era TBH we've gotten a lot more powerful DEF focused monsters with terrifying effects. Especially when you look at Flip Effects cards which were pretty much caused the rise of Burn Decks.

[@hi-i-am-atan]

@@sammykent5752 I can promise you that any sort defensive stall and burn decks, even if they were far more viable than they were back in DM era, were still far under the cut of powerful offensive decks like Gladiator Beasts, Lightsworns, Dark Armed Return, Monarchs, and Cyber Dragons. The only really powerful burn decks we've seen are Chain Burn ( which is the exact _opposite_ of defensive and instead just burns you incredibly quickly ) and Mystic Mine Burn ( which, strictly speaking, is a defensive deck ... but is functions by _practically turning off your opponent's ability to use monsters,_ so, uh, yeah not only is it based around an _absurdly_ powerful card beyond the level of most defensive ones, but it's one the most hated decks while also being the most vulnerable to just running backrow removal that itself is backrow ).

[@blubbfisch98]

The only defensive card I ever considered good and not a filler or part of an archetype has been Millennium Shield 3000 Def, no effect and one tribute has been nice. But that's it.

[@proclarushtaonasat]

but even if a defense card is destroyed, it might be worth a point. like, if kaiba has blue eyes and vorse raider on the field, and yugi has 2000 Lp, kaiba plans on using vorse to destroy yugis next defense and use bewd to go for game, but then yugi topdecks soldier of stone, so yugi survives with 100 Lp, cause kaiba has to use his dragon for it instead. might not come up that often in DM, but for example winged kuribohs whole existence is being a blocker, not just because of his ability to nullify all battle damage for a turn, but also when using "super junior confrontation" or whatever it was called, sacrificing it, protects all other monsters from being attacked that turn, and in zexal gogogo golem is often used to waste two of the opponents attacks, which shouldnt cost him points. there are also situations where yuma forgets his defense position effect and plays him in atk mode. misplays like that arent really the cards fault.

It appeared in others in Waking the Dragons as well as the final duel against Atem in Dawn of the Duel. That's why I find Jwitzz's decision to ignore everything past Battle City and filler arcs, while understandable, somewhat cheating the system on some cards.

Hopefully, as you poured over those episodes and collected Yugi's monster data, you will reappear with videos on Kaiba's and Joey's cards as well. I'm really interested because to me, Kaiba's deck was the most well thought out and had a semblance of consistency (the deck revolving around a certain strategy with a back up) over everyone else. His seemed to grow and get better as the series went. And Joey's deck was all over the place BUT if I understand your rules, its how well they benefitted the player in battles, correct? With Joey's insane luck, I'm sure it'd be an interesting list lol. All in all loved the video!

[@fakescorpion112]

Celtic guardian did better in duels that you didn't count, so kind of unfair. His big moments is killing off BEWD and would have win the duel against Kaiba if Yugi hadn't forfeited, that time he fend off an attack from "god" when Yugi battled Noah, and delivered direct attacks against Kaiba in the movie.

[@coatguy2990]

you get my like at 2:32 - how much work did you put into this video my dude? Like I'm sorry, I know I'm almost a year late, but wtf? The fact you had to keep track of the statistic EVERY DUEL alone is worth a like. Respect for this serious dedication my man.

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I'm loving the increase of YuGiOh content!

[@Poison_Puppet]

This was really cool. I'd love to see more videos like this exploring the other characters in the series.

[@robinscompass5951]

8:43 I find this really funny because I’m the actual game it lead to an easy turn 1 victory and breaks the whole game apart.

[@KingsleyIII]

You should do Joey's top 10 best luck-based cards/the 10 best times his luck-based cards swung in his favor. There are a lot of good ones, since Joey has lots of stupidly amazing luck.

[@PikaXFreak]

After the pre intro scene, I just subconsciously heard the GMM intro.

[@futurist4034]

This sudden insistence upon YuGiOh content warms my card gamer's heart like no other. On the chance that you do yet another one (and are open to suggestions from some rando on the Interwebs), perhaps creating a sort of primer video in context of the card game in its current state? Looking into the game's mechanics and how they've grown over the years while explaining them in kind (trying to explain Pendulums alone would probably make for quite the gag by itself), as well as pointing out cool archetypes and capping off at present day meta would be, I think, an awesome video to do, as YGO beginners would always be able to look to it for reference! Another idea would be to make videos about the in-card lore stories that transpire sometimes, like the Duel Terminal/Zefra arc or the more recent World Legacy arc, but I'm just spit-balling now. Your videos are always top-notch, no matter what they're about. Best wishes to you!

[@femmefuntime]

Blue-eyes white dragon is best card in the game Also yugi cheats, that’s just objectively true. He straight up gets a luck boost from his puzzle and gives things effects they don’t have.

[@bennu547]

Well some of those reasons are purely for the story. I’m not saying your wrong but if card effects are for story reasons, then I can let that slide. I’ve also noticed a lot that characters play cards when it’s not their turn

[@mrboo9491]

I believe he would call it, "heart of the cards" lol

[@emblemblade9245]

It’s anime, don’t think too hard about it lol

[@WarrHAVAN]

This is so much grind and heart into a video i'm surprised this isn't liked more

[@esparoba2083]

omg how could you forget that one time in the last episode when beast of gilfer makes an appearance

[@christophthemad8291]

"One fifty dollar bill" is my favorite reoccurring joke you've ever used. Please keep it forever.

[@WarmLillie]

I will buy the card and pay for 51 dollars but it need to be sign by you TheJWittz.

[@commercialchase8442]

That would just make that card's price skyrocket after that.

[@yuki_dawn]

This is actually a really interesting format that I'm surprised I've never seen before! I'd love to see more of these! Now it's got me to thinking what Jaden's best card would be. I bet it's not Neos or Flame Wingman, I bet it's something like Card Trooper, 'cause it might get destroyed a lot, but each time it does, Jaden draws, so it never gets those minus points.

[@ryancarless7921]

Love the hard work on these videos. Makes me want to give Yugioh a chance

[@GatorRay]

I recommend starting off by buying three copies of the Order Of The Spellcasters Structure deck. It revolves around Pendulum monsters and spell counters and there's deck profile that only use cards from three copies of said structure deck. And if you want to upgrade it with other cards I recommend checking out the deck profile on TeamSamuraiX1's channel.

[@shogunpotato4330]

Jwitz actually getting into the yu gi oh scene on youtube????? Bettt im down for that

[@vengancev2]

Nobody: Catapult Turtle : YEET

[@ryuail]

Been getting some miles on the fity dolla bill gag Mr.Wittz? please continue, it makes me smile every time.

[@samuelmiller7066]

It’s time to dddd- watch jwitzs video

[@Ryan-id7yz]

Super pumped to see JWittz making content outside of pokemon. With everything going on with Game Freak, it's nice to be reminded of other franchises that brought me joy in the past

[@command_unit7792]

I use beast of Gilfor in all my decks not knowing the show conditioned me...

[@thecosplaycrafter8017]

Yugi treats the Dark Magician as his ace and his favourite, but there are so many other cards with more consistent wins in his Deck.

[@jxjunk]

Yugi: Tribute summons 3 for Slifer the Sky Dragon Me: Active Mystic Mine

[@0verloud350]

Dude this channel came back and it’s amazing

[@CarbonMalite]

I can never truly know sadness knowing Sanwitch is out there in a prison cell somewhere

[@notehead1884]

Hey JWittz. On my own time, I want to use your system to find the best and worst cards of Joey and Kaiba’s deck too. Seems amusing because this analysis was fun to watch.

[@popcorndinosaur123]

"That coming from someone with mushroom man in their deck?"

[@KingsleyIII]

Skip the rules and get to him actually talking about Yugi's monsters at 4:55.
