[@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 Yeah, uh, even outdated battle Traps like Mirror Force, Threatening Roar, and Waboku are all gonna do the job _far_ better than any single monster will, barring any _really_ potent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.

[@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

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. Berfomet is another example that was only used once in Battle City but used many times afterwards, but alas, those appearances weren't factored in here.

Maybe a video on Joey's luck cards would be cool. He's always winning or prolonging duels by rolling dice or guessing face down cards. He even had to guess what card was in someone's hand at one point

I was a fan because of the pure pokemon content and I loved your expansion to nintendo as a whole. But with yugioh I'm a long time fan of the game and I'd love it if you kept with an occasional yugioh video.

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.

@@OneRandomVictory it's mostly the "old guard" type fans, the ones that are kinda like pokemon genwunners. also for some reason recently a lot of people started hating Synchro Summoning despite it being the weakest Summoning method in MR4

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.

[@lkay44]

I'm loving this yu-gi-oh content but why is half of this video just explaining the rational for his scoring...

[@ArtanesCS-Rockon]

I really liked that, would have liked him to explain more why he chose certain point values (i.e. how he chose to assign points for damaging life total). Data analysis is fun, just look at early Matt-Patt. People like it

Love seeing these yugioh videos, really enjoying them. If you ever do more, do Kaiba, Joeys and Mai's decks.

[@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.

[@MrChillaxin2010]

So worst card in all of yugioh would be Crystal Heart since whoever uses it has a 100% chance of losing.

[@harciongaming9122]

Well worst monster. Worst spell is Seal of Orichalcos

[@joshuahadams]

Dark Magician, 1 of the 2 Key Monsters that allowed Yugi to defeat Pegasus the other being Kuriboh. He kept Dark Magician around for 4 episodes in 1 form or another with it evolving into Magician of Black Chaos. Before that it won him his filler duel against Joey thanks to the effect of Dark Sage. The card you listed as #1, is probably Yugi's most forgettable monster. Dark Magician played a huge role in Merger of the Big 5 as half a fusion, & also played a massive role in Clash in the Colosseum fusing with Buster Blader into Dark Paladin. Let's also not forget how Yugi was able to defeat 1 of Ghost Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragons using Spellbinding Circle & Dark Magician. Beast of Gilfer may have had a 100% success rate although again it was only used 3 times. The problem is you divided by the number of appearances when that shouldn't have been done. You claimed you were only counting the stuff in the manga yet Rebecca was a character who never appeared in the manga & had that duel in Episodes 41 & 42 count against Dark Magician. By that logic Virtual World Saga & Waking the Dragons should also count for Yugi. Really if you think about it Dark Magician should have been #1. I will say that Summoned Skull was only ever good for Yugi when used as half of Black Skull Dragon. You give Catapult Turtle a lot more credit than I would, as I only remember it being useful in Duelist Kingdom. There it was most famously used to Launch Gaia the Dragon Champion to defeat Panik with his own castle. Season 4 during the initial duel with Raphael, Catapult Turtle is famously used to launch monsters to Yugi's downfall.

[@esparoba2083]

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

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

Dark Magician has Worf syndrome. He's used to prove how strong an opponent's card is.

I just told my brother that Dark Magician suffers from the Worf Effect.
