Top Ten Yu-Gi-Oh Archetypes Based Around Trap Cards
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Traps are part of the big trio fo Yu-Gi-Oh cards. However, with power creep and such, they’ve fallen behind Monsters and spells in terms of usability unless you make them really busted. There is another way, though. Konami bases archetypes are using trap cards give traps more power than ever…or it’s a bust and the archetype becomes niche, but the best case scenario is the deck shining new light on trap cards. Who doesn’t love a good ole “you activated my trap card” situation? So, for this video, we’re looking at the coolest archetypes based around trap cards. Judgment Meter joins me for this one.

Don't teach Judgement Meter how to play Yu-Gi-Oh. Something pure and good will be lost forever if that happens.
Or just tell her to stick with early Yu Gi Oh / GOAT Format .
@@MegaShingo97that's even worse
i say let her learn
and if she don;t like it, she don't like it
I want her to button mash the magician girl deck
EXCELLENT MR.TOPTENLIST YU-GI-OH ARCHETYPE BASE TRAP CARDS.
One thing I really like about Paleozoic anomalocaris is the ability to just destroy a monster reflects how dominant it was in it's time being one of the first super predators in history.
Very cool trivia!
Paleontology is fun because you learn stuff like how it had the first known compound eyes
"Well it was about that time I noticed this girl scout was about 8 stories tall, and a crustacean from the Paleozoic Era! Dang it, ya Loch Ness Monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree fiddy!"
Evil Arlekino is how the amuzement park guide that just pops up behind you when youre just looking around. Hes scary at first, but then you realize its just Arlekino.

Arlekino *inches away from your face* : "You've had a spin and feeling merry. Now, try our new attraction, and don't you tary! Our latest and greatest, to be a boaster. STEP RIGHT ON UP TO THE DRAGON COASTER!!" *dances away*
Lmao
Avocado Chewie! 🎩
I love the aesthetics of phantom knights, it's like they're "combining" the armor and weapon pieces for their extra deck monsters
*"You just Activated my Trap Card!"*
Truly gotta love that Line whenever I hear it.
Thunder Dragon is still my favorite deck, but Labrynth is the only deck I've tried completely maxing out its rarity. I've got ten Collector's Rares, two Quarter Century Secret Rares and one Starlight. It's just a very aesthetically pleasing archetype. Hope the furniture monsters get foil upgrades in the 2023 Mega Tins.
Can't wait for the butter.
Yess I agree about Labrynth! Was excited about the deck on release because the playstyle seemed fun and the art of it phenomenal, so I've been all about that deck for over a year now and just recently finished maxing out my Labrynth core of cards! I just want that shiny cardboard in my favorite deck lol.
@@evanferrell7779my love for traptrix makes me like it more but i wont lie ikea labrynth is so fun to play
Eldlich in his alternate art is unfazed, he is like the golden sun, he is unbothered, he is flourishing, he is in his column, he is loving life !!
That alt art was made for the girls and the gays.
@@harisbisevac4578considering all the waifu cards we get thats fair
@@harisbisevac4578big facts
And he’s fruity as hell
As an Amazement player in the TCG I adore you for acknowledging that we exist. I feel seen! 😭
Glad we could help
I just always figured the amaze cards were just literal tourist traps. Each pulling in customers in different ways
Quick Yugioh rules, then:
-On your turn there is the main phase 1, where you can play monsters and spells/traps from your hand, then the combat phase where you can choose attack targets for your monsters, then main phase 2 where you may play cards from your hand again if you want, then you end your turn and the opponent does their turn and so on.
-Every turn you're only allowed to play max 1 monster card, unless you do it by an effect saying it's a Special Summon which means it's free and you can do as many of these as you want in addition to your normal card.
-The number of stars on a monster is the level. If it's level 1-4 you can play it without paying anything, level 5-6 can only be played down by trading a monster you already have alive and discarding that to play yours (if not using Special Summons, this can take one turn to place it then wait for your next turn to play the upgrade), level 7+ needs to trade 2 monsters instead of 1.
-Spells can freely be played on your main phase 1 or 2, traps must be laid down for one turn before you can activate them at all but after that can be activated in anyone's turn anytime you want.
-Monster cards with special colors stay in the extra deck instead of the normal deck. Fusion monsters need a card that specifies how to summon it, but the others are Special Summons that just need to trade from specific monsters and are ready to use from the extra deck anytime as if you always have them in your hand: Links just need X monsters to trade for it, Xyz need a combination of monsters of certain levels, and Synchros need a Tuner monster and another monster.
It's so sweet that people are actually explaining YGO to me

I can't unsee the toast now. Bottom left of the original art, the "negative space" of his cape and the border of the card art kinda looks like a single slice of toast/bread. Seeing how the archetype is based on alchemy and the turning of objects to gold, I can't help but imagine all of the Golden Lord's food turns to gold too. Though, he is a zombie, so not sure how much that'd actually affect him.
Oh! I see it! What good imagination you have there! The right side of that "negative space" looking toast has a 3D look now lol like wut I can no longer see empty space now haha

Something i love about your Yu Gi Oh videos is the fact that you show a lot of "modern" cards (i'm still in the GX era😁 ) and most of them has really cool art.
It means that when you show them, i'm actually searching for an image of those cards on google so that i can save it and maybe later buy them.
I know right? Sure goat maybe more enjoyable as a pastime, but I can't believe people can't see how cool and creative the new archetypes have become, not to mention how great the art has evolved, you would hardly see anything like the art in yugioh cards anywhere else.
@@chrisb.2028 Agree, it's awesome to see that Yu Gi Oh's card arts are so consistenly good from day one.
I always viewed Paleozoic as "What if Phantom Knights never had Main Deck Monsters in their lineup?" and still do to this day.
Judgment Meter says the oddest things and I love it! "I like the one with the skulls. She's just like, this is where I nap. I murdered 7 people to make my pillow." She said it with such joy 💀💀💀
@35:40
I love the mirror force cards.
Traptrix lore is fairly hilarious, and a bit of a commentary on how Konami saw their players.
The 'characters' are really just lures used by carnivorous insects and plants, much like how some real life plants have parts that look like food or even breeding mates.
Yes, Konami wants you to lure in your opponent with lolis.
It'd work on me ngl
Hooray, Phantom Knights represent woot woot
Okay I've watched it a few times and it's pretty good
This has been one o the best weeks for Bradley Network ever acutally new MTTL vid, Software agents video and Shorts returns and the Lost Archives and a new Rae Marcel Joint. Good week guys.
I'm glad you enjoyed both my videos and my friends videos! Just to clarify, I'm not a part of any network, so I can't take credit for anything else my friends uploaded. I'm just an independent channel who works with some of my friends as cohosts. Regarding, Software Agents, they're friends I collab with sometimes, but we're only involved with each other's content when we are directly referenced in videos. The only other videos I work on directly are Judgment Meter's videos. However, I'm always happy to promote my friends' content on my channel to support them!
@@MrTopTenList I mean okay.. but you guys get credited in each other's stuff though
I'm always willing to help out a friend with capturing game footage, but outside of an occasional voiceover or gameplay for Software Agents, I'm not involved with their channel usually. I also haven't worked on any Marcel or Lost Archives videos, but I support their work! And while Software Agents hasn't done too much for my channel recently (I think just the guest and giant character videos this year), we do have a collab coming up, so I'm looking forward to that! Still, I'm glad you're enjoying my friends' content! I just didn't want to take any credit for their hard work on their channels.
@@MrTopTenList what about Mr Ufo's screen debut? okay well.. damn. that what you said makes sense... I am sorry if I upset anyone or made assumptions . I hope we're all still friends. you guys and girls all rock still. Okay do you know when the pinball or Arrested Development was a fighting game happening? and when is Judgment Meters Podcast returning.
You're good dude! I just wanted to clarify. Judgment Meter Podcast has no set return date. We've recorded, but they have to be edited. The next "What if" video will be up to a poll when I'm ready to work on it, but not sure when that will be. No planned pinball videos here, but the Game Boy one was a fun one to make, so it would be cool to do another one!
Never realize Traptrix sd came with those. Those are some respect to legacy
Judgement meter its so funny😂😂😂,its a great co host😊
I'm hilarious
I can't immagine J.M. sitting on anyone in an unfriendly way. I just picture her floating up above them using a Kuriballoon and gently floating down on her words. Glad you joined in J.M.! You are the peanut butter in these top ten sandwiches! Or perhaps the jelly..no..no..you definently make the others jelly with how awesome you are! You stick these ten layers together and make them just sublime to consume! Rich, slightly sweet and lightly salty! I'm gonna stop the peanut butter metaphor now..💛
I don't like jelly
My personal competitive deck is Virus control, which uses both the Lair of Darkness archetype and the Labrynth archetype to supplement the Virus cards.
Paleozoic just needs it's own Holeutea like card to be a more "modern" trap deck. it's effect just summons itself with discarding a paleo as "cost" to activate the turn it was set. triggering the paleo you just discarded
as a paleo player i'd love that. there's a ton of wacky burgess shale animals they still haven't used too
i think a video where you talk about the most unique yugioh playstyles would make for a fascinating video, like how cardians make you play hanafuda, or super quants emulating the sentai/power rangers franchise.
I’d love to see a list of Top 10 YuGiOh archetypes/decks that revolve around a field spell!
Labyrinth is actually quite meta right now as well as traptrix
Clearly Amazement went to the various worlds of Yu-Gi-Oh for his ride inspiration and found one of those creatures in the remains of the Ojama's homeland.
Ah my favourite was #2, I love how traptrix is a retrain of just a singular trap card from the first set into a whole forest of death.
Also how their attack and defence equal the same, that was always cool even if it limited them. They are missing a monster with 2800 and 0 defence which I've always thought would be good to get like a normal summon enabling xyz card or something.
Detach 1 material to normal summon a plant or insect type monster from your hand (or deck maybe?) if they got this they could be a tier 1 deck. I already beat snake eyes often enough to Warrent them giving it a chance. But mine is kinda fused with labyrnth, mainly to have a beatstick with anti targeting for 2 cards, I did have the searcher and the special summoner but they were too bricky alone.
“How to Yugioh”
It’s like Dungeon Dice Monsters, so you should be able to handle it 🎲
I love Traptrix so much. They single handedly made Trap Holes relevant again, and they were always my favorite type of traps. Plus they are all based on insects and plants. Sundew, Butterworts, Tree Ants, Gloworms, Praying Mantises, and the good ol Venus Flytrap just to name a few.
I now run a traptrix deck. Never thought id run a trap based deck before, but now its easily my favorite deck to play.
Judgement Meter have beautiful voice, i could listen to her all day, every day, all day every day, all day every day.
That's hilarious
...Dinomorphia is basically a spiritual successor to that 1993 Super Mario movie.
And now you can't unsee it
Something even more weird dinomorphia frenzy is straight up a power rangers/super sentai reference
Oh yeah, the legendary shipp of Eldlich Golden Lord and Dragonmaid Laundry
I feel like the deal with Arlekino is that he’s normally devious, which is why he’s Dark, but his alt form is Light, because that’s when it’s time to stop jerk’n around and protect his friends…or something.
Fun little bit of LP cost trivia:
When you get down to 2 LP, the cost is rounded up so you stay at 2 LP & the effect triggers anyway.
the only trap id fall for is Judgement Meter
What would be insect be?
I still make use of my Traptrix deck. Mine is more of a swarm control build. I make use of monsters like Parallel Xceed and Lord of Heavenly Prison. I have also found that Exoton Knight make for a nice disruption for my opponent
Hey love your videos on top 10, and was wondering if you had done a top 10 Magic users in fighting games, if not I would be really interested in seeing that in the future. Thanks again for another great top 10
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
I had fun playing with Labrynth in Master Duel event and I have fun playing with Traptrix in real life . Both are awesome decks.
For those who just wanna know the list
Amazement
Apophis
Counter fairies
Paleozoic
Altergeist
Dinomorphia
Phantom knights
Eldlich
Traptrix
Labrynth
Dang, no vision heroes?
I used Shapesister when I was still playing like 10 years ago XD
The Traptrix seems interesting.
I like the traps that act as monsters, that’s useful
Huh, these were very interesting.
So how many times did he say "trap" or "traps"
5:37 OJAMA LIME LIVES!
Also, you aren’t making the Paleo XYZ with your Trap Monsters, you’re making the Toad.
I don’t know what that means
I always make Anomalocaris because he's cooler and more thematic. Sure I can make Toad (and it's an emergency "oh crap" button in my deck) but I'm playing Paleozoic, I wanna make my cool little archetype guy :(
also I mostly play Master Duel, though Paleo's one of my few IRL decks, so I do have a version with toad in it
These traps deserve appreciation!
You should have included Uria, Lord of Searing Flames in this list. It's one of the most iconic trap-focused monsters of all time and was a viable OTK strat back in the day. These days, it even has its own Continuous Trap, Hyper Blaze, plus the one that gets better with each Sacred Beast you have out
The "aww hahaha" at 42:42 hed me rolling 🤣 😂
Lol never mind I see you did a top 10 sorcerers in fighting games already
I love traptrix so much easily my favorite deck to play
Altergeist was my first competitive deck when I returned to the game and got multiple tops with it. I have max rarity on the deck including the core and the traps and with new cards including Malwisp and Adminia, it is pretty competitive again.
Love the video as I am also a fan of Trap decks. It's like you were born to narrate!
Glad to hear it! I always like when people think I have a good narrator voice since I used to want to be a movie trailer announcer when I was a kid.
No honorable mention for fang of critias. Spell card + trap card = fusion monster. One the only fusions that require non monsters to summon. Or pre-errataed Makyuua as it could let you activate trap cards from the hand which led to mischief and got dark scorpion yellow chick semi-limited....lol traps were great
37:15
Patrick: Firmly grasp it. Firmly grasp it. Firmly grasp it
Lore-wise there are so many creatures/archetypes that live in the Sanctuary in the Sky
Hooray for Dinomorphia
Why can you forget the Lair of Darkness archetype that will tribute your opponent's monsters for cost effects, lady laments ,trap virus and skill drain
The second deck I ever played was Traptrix so I was doomed to love this style of play. Hell my favorite deck right now is Dinomorphia (if you need more reason to play it by the way read Ferret Flames, and know it effects Towers monsters)
Also does anyone know how Atrax interacts with Jinzo? Which effect wins out?
In theory, Jinzo would be unable to negate the effect of any trap card activated while Atrax is on the field... and I say "in theory", because you can't activate traps while Jinzo is on the field lol
Good thing Jinzo is not a common sight these days. I main Traptrix and that would be rough.
MTTL, you are my trap king
That's so nice
i love playing traptrix but i never noticed the 2800 total until it was said in the video xD
But what would be a cool list is a top 10 psychic users in fighting games, not sure if you done that yet, but either way thanks for the top 10 videos
these are some interesting sets
Who is this voice artist? I hear him EVERYWHERE
Top equip centric archetypes/series. Ie. Noble Knights, Bamboo Sword, Eye of Timaeus, Evil Eye, Marincess, Inzector, etc.
We need to make goblin attack focus in to a full a archetype and at lest one or two boss monster plus a good story show in the cards lots of card
This is how you play Yugioh...
You draw a card.
You sit there for 10-20 minutes doing nothing.
You lose.
I never lose
As a Labrynth duelist I only have to say:"I see no god up here, except me!"
Also, the figure with the Axe is Lovely. The one we don't know who it is yet, is the red sort on with what seems to be scizzors. Since we are in the garden she is probably the gardener.
Regarding how the Amazement Arlekino's "good" version is dark while their "evil" version is light, don't forget that Yugi's signature monster was Dark Magician, a dark monster, and Kaiba's was Blue-Eyes, a light monster. Also keep in mind that worms were evil aliens and were light, and Ally of Justice were robots specifically designed to combat them and were dark. Just saying.
i miss the Old times
Times New Roman?
I love judgment meter
I love you, too
Where are Lady of Lament cards 😔 They are what holds Lair of Darkness as an archetype together...
Hmm... 2 oddies:
(1) VERY awkward that Lair of Darkness, Ladies of Lament + Virus not in the Top 10 Trap decks... any reason why?
(2) Hmm... not played by many but Eldlich the Golden Lord, Eldlixir and Golden Land cards works VERY well with Statue of Anguish, Tiki Soul/Curse, Abyss Stungray, Slime / God Slime etc; esp when used with Angel Statue and other Floodgates + board wipes like Dark Hole (Eldlich can be indestructable by card effects), it can easily out any Traptrix boards. Maybe few may know it, but Armory Recall + Moon Mirror Gates are pretty fun with Golden Land and other Trap monsters.
SIDE: Best versions of Labrynth and Eldlich are actually both floodgates deck types :^P
SIDE: kinda weird that Uria, Lord of Searing Flames is not mentioned in the Tiki section >_<
Regardless, cool video on Trap decks :^)
I'm happy to hear that Konami supports Traps, I love traps, I'm just disappointed that Astolfo in YGP is a Monster rather than a Trap
The Royal trap archetype I still love to this day! If they can just let traps be more powerful like they used to....
Wait, wait, wait, wait, Dinomorphia has a Counter Trap monster negate?! *WHY* is that card not in Master Duel when we've had two waves of Dinomorphia support?! Dinomorphia is one of my favorite decks because it's goddamn mechs and dinosaurs and because it was one of the only decks I could use during the hyper cancerous Tear format. Plus it can turn off the Kashtira main deck monsters.
I feel no remorse using Labrynth
Dinomorophia Intact was released in January in Japan (May internationally), so it came out after all the other Dinomorphia cards. The last of the Dinomorphia cards before it was released were put in Master Duel in December, so it didn't exist for them to release early. Master Duel is likely holding it to be released with other cards from the set it was in IRL, which was the Kashtira set, so it's likely coming soon. I can't wait for it either! Dinomorphia is one of my Ranked decks.
The aesthetic of the Dinorphia archetype is very cool. Of course their best card is based on a T. rex, but I'm glad the other five members are creatures you don't see often apart from documentaries and Jurassic World Evolution 2 (Therizinosaurus, Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus, Geosternbergia, Archelon).
Trap card monsters are great for tributing for Uria
It is a shame that you didn't talk about if any of these decks work with Uria, Lord of Searing Flames.
Many of them benefit from their traps staying on the field or use their traps for their own extra effects, so Uria clashes a bit. However, the Trap Monster segment may have benefited from Uria, so he could fit in that deck.
Please don't get confused! The "Lady with an Axe" is Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle. But there are still three monsters to come after Arias the Labrynth Butler.
I'd explain Yu-Gi-Oh to Judgement Meter
That's kind of you
@@JudgmentMeter The basic gist is get your opponent's life points down to 0 using your various monsters spells and traps any fancy stuff is just overkill
Apothis/Paleozoic 🤙🏻🤙🏻
MrTopTenList, can you do a top ten of your favorite yugioh characters in the anime?
A big like from a Counter Fairy deck pleyer
Funny that when you were explaining traptrix i got beat by them in master duel 😅
Edit: I played against lab right after that 😮😂
Lol i would like to imagine judgement meter normal summon aleister the invoker and...
"Minerva Scholar of the Sky"..... any relation to "Minerva Lightsworn Maiden"? :)
Loved this video btw
Thank you! Minerva the Lightsworn is based on the goddess, so they are likely related in terms of what they were influenced by.
Um hi mr top ten I love the videos you made and I had a idea maybe you can make a video about the top 10 or something duos with opposite views of things something like Malcom X and dr Luther king jr. and number one has to be professor X and magneto from X men
Ive been using Statue of Anguish for Rank 7 Plays.
my best and i most loved deck is eldlich its so cool i wish more support xyz work with banished cards also i love kashtira
My honest suggestion for Judgment Meter is NOT to get into playing Yu-Gi-Oh. The lore and designs are fun, but those can be enjoyed without actually playing.
The play itself is more addicting than it is fun, even for those without an addictive personality, and can be hard to quit. And that's not even factoring in the gambling aspects, or the decks that are aggressively unfun to play against, or other issues some people have.
I was expecting mirror force to be in here because iconic card in yugi's deck.
Mirror Force doesn't have too much support outside a Critias Fusion, so there's not really an archetype to it, but I could totally see them giving it the Trap Hole support some day since it's an iconic series of cards that fun to flip on your opponent!
Take a shot every time he says trap
traptraptraptrap
The main issue holding dinomorphia back is the issue that you have to run bricks to fusion summon
Not life point manipulation?
Thank you Labrynth best deck
Also why are the Amazment Assistants Machines? Are they robots or something?
There was a theory that arlechino is the only "person" in the amusement park
I wish konami would explain more, but then they moved to labyrinth stuff and give them more and more disgusting effects
Oh there are definitely friendly ways to sit on people 26:22
I love Judgement Meter!! does she stream or does she have a youtube channel she posts on regularly? someone help me find Judgement Meter please!! Also, Thank you for the ejamacation MrTopTenList! I've been looking for a Trap oriented deck for Master Duel.
UGH!!! LABRYNTHS!! of course it's Labrynths!! When I first started with Master Duel my first deck was Cyber Dragon, my gf always beat my butt with Labrynths!! It got to the point where I made Anti-Trap/Spell deck just so I don't have to worry about it, being Ancient Gears.
You can find me on youtube @judgmentmeter. I'm also hoping to stream in the future sometime
@@JudgmentMeter have you done anything more recent? Because my girlfriend and I love your little antics on Top10Lists. No offense to MrTop10, but to us you're pretty much the star of the show lol
@@Happy_Magician I was just in this video
@@JudgmentMeter I'm sorry, I meant on your channel
"how do you sit on someone in a friendly way?"
Hehehehehehehehehehe
I don't know if you are kidding at the beginning or what, almost ALL meta decks plays traps and most archetypes has their own omni negate or disruption trap, like swordsoul or salamangreat or tearlaments
