It's amusing when it works, but my current build of it is painfully slow, and half the time I do get Ra out, I either don't have Yu-Jo or Unity in hand at the same time.

Question is an annoying card... if you're a judge. Because every player that uses it in an official tournament, cheats. Technically, you're not allowed to change the order of your graveyard under any circumstance. But players do that regardless and judges don't say anything because Yu-Gi-Oh. But the moment this card is played, the specific order of the graveyard IS of critical importance and everybody that used it in the past usually changes in the order of their monsters, just to get out the monster they wanted. And there is no way to verify with judges whether or not the graveyard order has changed in advance of playing Question.
At that rate, if you see them throw Question down onto their field, and you've noticed them touching their graveyard, you should just make the following offer to them: "Either you remove all copies of that card from your deck for the rest of this match, or i'm calling a judge on your cheating ass." Granted, you're letting them play with a 37-card deck at that point, but knowing a Question deck, they probably dont have the worthwhile cards to make use of that advantage.

It's much better as a niche mechanic imo. That said, if they ever decide to introduce original archetypes exclusive to the yugioh video games in order to utilize mechanics that are much better suited to a digital format, that could be an interesting idea.
+Awesome20801 Yeah how would it work cuz of card sleeves. Maybe the player with the parasite brings along every existing card sleeve so that it can go in the opponent's deck. But the easier way would be playing it in combo with convulsion of nature so that card sleeves don't matter.

Actually, an archetype that focuses about positioning on the field sounds very interesting. You know, buff the atk of the monster on the right by X. Buff the def of the one on the left by X. Monsters next to this card are unaffected by effects. Once per turn remove from play one card ur opponent controls in the same column as this card. Once per turn after a spell/trap card you control behind this card resolves shuffle it back to ur deck. Etc.

+Shadow Spector not a new game mechanic which allows monsters to be played in face down attack position,but an archtype revolving around the effect of turning mobsters into face down attack position
@@victorsandeen2694 Only in incredibly situational moments. If you know your opponent has 3 or 4 pieces, then yes, don't play it. But in those other situations, it can act as an effective discard or lockdown card. So it comes out as a net positive in that regard. There are more situations that it's useful than not, against Exodia. Please note, I'm not saying it's good, it's not. But it's got some NICHE use, very slightly, in one match-up.
Yes. An archetype of pachinko machines that focuses on being in face down attack position is EXACTLY what we need. It’s no worse than kaijus #banallkaijus
A level 4: Effect: If this card is in face-down attack position, once per turn, draw 1 card, if it's a monster, special summon it in face-down defence position
My personal fav horrible card effect Xyz Dimension splash, requires a baffingly ridiculous condition to be set off, and then you get 2 water monsters (aka, no deck that can even achieve the condition is going to be water) who you can basically only Xyz together.
This was a very good and very entertaining vid. These are the kind of cards I love most in this game. I've always called them "novelty cards" because they didn't affect the usual, traditional aspects of the game - they essentially broke fourth wall and affected the players themselves.
I actually made a fan made archetype based on the Paraside gimmick of them going into your opponent's deck. When I showed them to people everyone had the same complaint: "Whats stopping your opponent from shuffling so the cards are nowhere near the top? If you shuffle their deck yourself you could be cheating by making sure the face-up insects are near the top. There's no real way to do this without someone cheating."
5:30 laughs in mystic mine But in all seriousness it's cool to see normally useless cards like Silent Wobby find new life in the modern game with new cards that combo well with it.
Now to wait patiently until someone at Konami has a nervous breakdown and creates Magic the Gathering's Shahrazad. Look it up, it's the most batshit insane card ever, and contrarily to all cards from the two joke sets Unhinged and Unglued, this is an actual, legit card.
If we're bringing strange MTG cards into it, let's look at Spawnsire of Ulamog. Pay 20 to drop EVERY ELDRAZI CARD YOU OWN FROM OUTSIDE THE GAME ONTO THE FIELD WITHOUT PAYING ANY COST. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
There's a card in the Austin Powers TCG called Booster Shot that let's you open an unopened booster pack (might have been multiple packs, I can't recall) and play any characters you pull that match your faction for free.
Yugioh keeps the weird effect tradition alive with the newer card "End of the Line" If your LP are lower than 100, draw 2 cards... but if your LP are less than 10, draw 2 additional cards.
Can I just say with the new Gandora card, inferno tempest could actually be really good? Plus if you use the Gandora cards 2nd effect, you get rid of the back row as well. It's definitely helping Gandora become sort of a rogue tier deck.
Is Toon World in this list? I know it's needed for the Toon archetype but as a single card it's a very weird card. The anime/manga version has a better effect.
I used to use a deck that healed my opponent (such as cards used in a nurse deck) then I'd activate it, and kept using it until my opponent just quit because of how long the duel took because it always resulted in a draw.
That's a deck I made on Dueling Network long ago. Aptly named the Troll Deck, it was filled with opponent life point raising cards like Burning Algae and Gift Card. When the required difference was met, the trap was activated and my opponents were always like "wtf?" They couldn't believe I'd made such a deck and wasted their time in a ranked duel when they were trying to advance.
When you were reading off number 2, I was thinking to myself about the combination of cards going back into the deck with Convulsion of Nature and instantly Parasite Paracide came to mind. This was probably one of my favorite gimmick cards that I have ever come across (this is going back to when I was in high school in 2007, holy shit) and I am glad to see that it was sitting at number 1. Thank you for making my day by way of out-of-fucking-nowhere nostalgia.
i find it funny how you listed Darkness Approaches followed by Columns. and 2 years later Konami now erratas Darkness Approaches as a worse Book of Moon, and due to Link monsters brings back columns. Even with the amazing card Defense Zone(which i love btw)
but if you had a card that let you return cards from the graveyard to the top of your deck. i know of atleast two spell cards that does that. then you'd know 3 of the cards. still hard to pull off.
The unfortunate thing about Parasite Paracide is that... A) It won't go into the deck if attacked by a higher-ATK monster (because FLIP effects activate after they are destroyed) B) It can be Tributed for easy removal C) It's useless against Rank 2 Xyz decks such as Ojama D) being level 2 makes it fairy easy to Tune off the field. But I do agree that, generally speaking, it is an awesomely weird card and I want to see more deck-infectors like it someday.
My friend made a Winged Dragon of Ra deck that could actually effectively use Silent Wobby. He'd drop it to the opponent's field, gain the life, and use it to up the attack of Ra even more, while also stopping all hand traps that stop battle.
This isn't really Yugioh related, but Hex has tried the Parasite Paracide concept as an entire race's focus and it works very well. The Vennen aren't top tier or anything, but their concept revolves around burying spider eggs in the opponent's deck, which "hatch" when drawn or buried (Hex's term for milling). When they hatch, YOU get a 2/1 Spider that can't be blocked and your opponent draws another card. With enough eggs, you can kill them outright by combining this with the effects of some other Vennen cards, which interact with these eggs and which mill cards to trigger eggs faster. I created a loop deck for arena farming that worked by dumping as many eggs as I could into the deck while setting up my board a specific way - as many Vilefang Eremites and Psychic Torments as I could. Every Spider I summoned dealt them 1 damage per Eremite, and every damage they took buried 1 more card per Psychic Torment. With enough of either and a little luck, the opponent is dead from any reasonable life total off just one egg. I'd love to see a similar deck in Yugioh, but I'll settle for Parasite Paranoid
where is curse of fiends. It is a normal spell Card that can only be activated during the standby Phase. Also it is the only Card to Feature the term vice-versa.
The parasite card is surprisingly useful because it changes the enemy monsters into insects and you could activate cards that prevent certain monster types from atacking or use exceeds to insta destroy cards from a certain type
There's a Magic card called 'Letter Bomb' with a similar effect to Parasite Paracide (shuffle it into opponents deck face down, then they reveal each card they draw until they get it, and when they do they take 19.5 damage). Of course, it's from Unhinged, which is a joke set not legal for tournament play, so Parasite has the edge there. Although Magic does have a similar effect as well (in tournament legal form) in the card Booby Trap - when played, you name a card (other than a basic land) and they reveal each card they draw. If they draw the named card, you sacrifice booby trap and deal them 10 (half their starting life).
Speaking of interesting mechanics I actually find the new world chalice monsters interesting. The main deck monsters themselves are vanilla, which alone has been a decade or two since an archetype has been vanilla, and the link monsters have the effects. Along with spell and trap support. Don't know if they are good just find them interesting
An infectious insect deck would be cool, and they could have names like parasite paraside, like how about an insect named "Infector Vector" that also shuffled itself into the opponents deck and had an effect that when it 2as drawn, the player places a "Parasite Paraside" on top of their deck and draws one card.
I could see a weird archetype eventually made that's a slow starter but scales hard the longer the game goes. With how fast YGO duels are, it would force them to be a very defensive archetype and I imagine one designed to actively stall like that would be unpopular among players. Still, it would be kinda fun to see a monster that's effects scale with 'Which Round Is This?'
rank10ygo, your yop 10's are hilarious yet informative. can you please list the worst non-reprint main booster pack expansions excluding the out of set cards or perhaps the worst rarity bumps in the tcg?
um not sure what you were talking about with the gk servant dfissure convulsion thing, but gk servant + any banish card makes it so the opponent can't attack. convulsion doesn't really do anything there except maybe allow them to attack bc you'd be able to confirm it wasn't a monster in the case of dfissure.
Actually, once upon a time in the mid-2000s, I had a good bit of success using Question, especially with early-game Graceful Charity, and I used Exchange quite a bit, too.
Super-late, but convulsion of nature was one of my favorite cards back in the day run with archfiend's oath and life-absorbing machine in a Hamon/Uria deck.
Spiders (the archetype) can change monsters to face-down attack position, and there's other cards with the effect being able to change to face down defense position
Parasitic Paracide is definitely weirder because of its effects once it's on the field, but it reminds me a lot of Beneath the Grounds from Hearthstone. Quite the interesting card.
Please explain your perception of Silent Wobby's effect. Because I'm pretty certain I can draw as the one who uses the effect and the opponent gains 2000 LP.
Effects stating that a player performs an action relate to the player controlling the card; meaning that since Silent Wobby is in your opponent's control as soon as it's summoned, they get to draw a card (since it says "draw 1 card" while it's in their control), and you get 2000 LP (since, again, it states "the opponent" while it's in your opponent's control). The same ruling applies to Santa Claws and other monsters that are summoned to your opponent's side of the field.
Hex: Shards of Fate is a card game with a lot of cards you shuffle into your opponents deck. Reginald gets shuffled into your opponent's deck and when it leaves their deck(by drawing or milling) it kills them, spider eggs get shuffled into your opponent's deck and when they leave they summon spiders for you, booby traps are shuffled into your opponent's deck and when they leave damage them. There's also plenty of cards which can put your opponent's cards into your hand.
***** you can have 4 per deck, 60 card decks, but it's a 3/3 for 3 that has to deal damage to work. It's actually considered to be a pretty poor legendary.
Bit late to ask, but something I'm wondering, what is the ruling on "Question" if the monster in question is one whose effect includes "This Card's name is treated as/becomes X while in the Graveyard", like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon? Is the opponent supposed to declare Alternative or just "Blue Eyes White Dragon" to get the question "right" in that type of scenario?
Convulsion of nature works great with Hazy flame sphynx. HFS states that if you call the next card correctly (monster, spell, trap) special summon a fire monster from hand or grave
I actually have an Inferno Tempest deck still. It's based on Kaijus and Worms. Not the alien worms, but the worms that make your opponent draw and discard over and over again. Only deck I've seen that consistently and quickly decks people out.
Ok quick question: You set Parasite Paracide. Flip it and get it shuffled into the opponenet's deck. They draw it, it is summoned, burn happens and they get insected. If it is played against, I don't know a Krawler or Subterror deck which si built around flipping cards back to face down, or Darkness Approaches Parasite, When it is flipped face up, does it go face up into your deck and when it is drawn it burns you for 1000 and your monsters become Insects?
If it hasn't been mentioned in the comments anywhere yet, I'd put forward Penguin Knight. Its effect is just adding all card in your graveyard back to your deck and shuffling it, but the way it's worded is bizarre: "When this card is sent directly from your Deck to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, unite your Graveyard cards and your own Deck, shuffle them and form a new Deck."

+Shadow Spector not a new game mechanic which allows monsters to be played in face down attack position,but an archtype revolving around the effect of turning mobsters into face down attack position
I will only play yugioh as long as there are pendulums
+lil khalim: why is that? Does your deck not have the ability to summon your monsters without them?
Those Senet switch jokes have been negated with the new "Link" Mechanic.
Senet switch is still trash. And was always trash
SILENT WOBBY IS THE BEST ANTI EXODIA CARD EVER!
No. You can still resolve exodia.
@@ChadKakashi How, when their hand size is 3, and you need 5 cards?
They need to discard at the end of their turn. Wobby could just get you killed in the Exodia matchup.
@@victorsandeen2694 Only in incredibly situational moments. If you know your opponent has 3 or 4 pieces, then yes, don't play it. But in those other situations, it can act as an effective discard or lockdown card. So it comes out as a net positive in that regard. There are more situations that it's useful than not, against Exodia.
Please note, I'm not saying it's good, it's not. But it's got some NICHE use, very slightly, in one match-up.
Mystic mine has a word with ya
Inferno Tempest... What deck can use that car-PALEOZOICS BOIIIIIIIIII
Also throw in a few D.D. Scouts for a free rank 2 play.
Yes. An archetype of pachinko machines that focuses on being in face down attack position is EXACTLY what we need. It’s no worse than kaijus #banallkaijus
A level 4:
Effect: If this card is in face-down attack position, once per turn, draw 1 card, if it's a monster, special summon it in face-down defence position
In such a deck, Shifitng Shadows-like card would be a nice addition
My personal fav horrible card effect Xyz Dimension splash, requires a baffingly ridiculous condition to be set off, and then you get 2 water monsters (aka, no deck that can even achieve the condition is going to be water) who you can basically only Xyz together.
+geminia999 Yeah, its effect is stupidly specific but I didn't find it *as* imbecilic as most of the cards on this list.
there is a gandora otk with it :P
This was a very good and very entertaining vid. These are the kind of cards I love most in this game. I've always called them "novelty cards" because they didn't affect the usual, traditional aspects of the game - they essentially broke fourth wall and affected the players themselves.
I actually made a fan made archetype based on the Paraside gimmick of them going into your opponent's deck. When I showed them to people everyone had the same complaint: "Whats stopping your opponent from shuffling so the cards are nowhere near the top? If you shuffle their deck yourself you could be cheating by making sure the face-up insects are near the top. There's no real way to do this without someone cheating."
"...but hey, maybe at some point ,we will get a Darkness Approaches Pachinko Machine."
That one got me, awesome! Subbed!
5:30 laughs in mystic mine
But in all seriousness it's cool to see normally useless cards like Silent Wobby find new life in the modern game with new cards that combo well with it.
Now to wait patiently until someone at Konami has a nervous breakdown and creates Magic the Gathering's Shahrazad.
Look it up, it's the most batshit insane card ever, and contrarily to all cards from the two joke sets Unhinged and Unglued, this is an actual, legit card.
that's banned in every format though but I do find it hilarious
If we're bringing strange MTG cards into it, let's look at Spawnsire of Ulamog. Pay 20 to drop EVERY ELDRAZI CARD YOU OWN FROM OUTSIDE THE GAME ONTO THE FIELD WITHOUT PAYING ANY COST.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
I know a card in a game named Force of Will that plet's you play up to three cards OF YOUR CHOICE FROM YOUR OPPONENT'S DECK without barely any cost.
There's a card in the Austin Powers TCG called Booster Shot that let's you open an unopened booster pack (might have been multiple packs, I can't recall) and play any characters you pull that match your faction for free.
Ever heard of Fiber Jar?
"Pyro clock of destiny might become relevant again due to some kind of weird new summoning condition"
It's scary because you're probably right.
Yugioh keeps the weird effect tradition alive with the newer card "End of the Line"
If your LP are lower than 100, draw 2 cards... but if your LP are less than 10, draw 2 additional cards.
Yu-Jo friendship has become a biological weapon because of the way things are now.
Not really, you just need to accept the concept of the handshake.
Can I just say with the new Gandora card, inferno tempest could actually be really good? Plus if you use the Gandora cards 2nd effect, you get rid of the back row as well. It's definitely helping Gandora become sort of a rogue tier deck.
what would happen if ur oppenent happens to not have hands but be playing with his feet?
richard lam somebodys been playing Farewell to Arms
well they don't have to actually handshake, just accept, so no problem.
found my new favorite series, this is great man, you deserve way more subs :)
Collumn cards are now 3 off staples thanks to Link summoning.
Fuck me.
What about the mythical card "pot of greed"?
we can't say its effect is odd; we don't know what it does
*pretentious gibbering*
That was the best xD
Is Toon World in this list?
I know it's needed for the Toon archetype but as a single card it's a very weird card. The anime/manga version has a better effect.
Has Anyone here heard of the card, Self Destruct Button? This is the biggest troll in Yugioh.
I used to use a deck that healed my opponent (such as cards used in a nurse deck) then I'd activate it, and kept using it until my opponent just quit because of how long the duel took because it always resulted in a draw.
You are an evil person. I would hate to face you on Duelist Network. You are a troll after my own heart.
YaseiXLimelight I also used a BA and Lightsworn combo deck.
People seem to love using Burning Abyss monsters. I currently use a Tellarknight and Blue-Eyes combo deck.
That's a deck I made on Dueling Network long ago. Aptly named the Troll Deck, it was filled with opponent life point raising cards like Burning Algae and Gift Card. When the required difference was met, the trap was activated and my opponents were always like "wtf?" They couldn't believe I'd made such a deck and wasted their time in a ranked duel when they were trying to advance.
When you were reading off number 2, I was thinking to myself about the combination of cards going back into the deck with Convulsion of Nature and instantly Parasite Paracide came to mind. This was probably one of my favorite gimmick cards that I have ever come across (this is going back to when I was in high school in 2007, holy shit) and I am glad to see that it was sitting at number 1. Thank you for making my day by way of out-of-fucking-nowhere nostalgia.
Thanks for telling me about Wooby. I’ve been running that in my simochi deck for even and never knew I was running it wrong.
RIP facedown attack position
i find it funny how you listed Darkness Approaches followed by Columns. and 2 years later Konami now erratas Darkness Approaches as a worse Book of Moon, and due to Link monsters brings back columns. Even with the amazing card Defense Zone(which i love btw)
wait with, convulsion of nature, wouldn't that make a ma'at otk possible?
with the manga effect,yes; however, convulsion only reveals the top card, so you can only call 1 card right... well with complete certainty
Eli Reid yep
but if you had a card that let you return cards from the graveyard to the top of your deck. i know of atleast two spell cards that does that. then you'd know 3 of the cards. still hard to pull off.
kristian mathisen just use the spellbook card
"mahahahahahaahatht"
The unfortunate thing about Parasite Paracide is that...
A) It won't go into the deck if attacked by a higher-ATK monster (because FLIP effects activate after they are destroyed)
B) It can be Tributed for easy removal
C) It's useless against Rank 2 Xyz decks such as Ojama
D) being level 2 makes it fairy easy to Tune off the field.
But I do agree that, generally speaking, it is an awesomely weird card and I want to see more deck-infectors like it someday.
It’s hilarious when he says “Ma’at” XD
My friend made a Winged Dragon of Ra deck that could actually effectively use Silent Wobby. He'd drop it to the opponent's field, gain the life, and use it to up the attack of Ra even more, while also stopping all hand traps that stop battle.
Oh man, no one could have predicted that silent wobbly would see competitive use in pure mystic mine decks
Ah, a simpler time... One where grinder golem was nothing more than "the card that enables inferno tempest"
I LOVE Convulsion of Nature so much and i've never even used it in a deck lmao
This isn't really Yugioh related, but Hex has tried the Parasite Paracide concept as an entire race's focus and it works very well. The Vennen aren't top tier or anything, but their concept revolves around burying spider eggs in the opponent's deck, which "hatch" when drawn or buried (Hex's term for milling). When they hatch, YOU get a 2/1 Spider that can't be blocked and your opponent draws another card. With enough eggs, you can kill them outright by combining this with the effects of some other Vennen cards, which interact with these eggs and which mill cards to trigger eggs faster.
I created a loop deck for arena farming that worked by dumping as many eggs as I could into the deck while setting up my board a specific way - as many Vilefang Eremites and Psychic Torments as I could. Every Spider I summoned dealt them 1 damage per Eremite, and every damage they took buried 1 more card per Psychic Torment. With enough of either and a little luck, the opponent is dead from any reasonable life total off just one egg.
I'd love to see a similar deck in Yugioh, but I'll settle for Parasite Paranoid
where is curse of fiends. It is a normal spell Card that can only be activated during the standby Phase. Also it is the only Card to Feature the term vice-versa.
Rikuri Sword and Shield also has the vice-versa term
this guy has the best yugioh TH-cam videos. holy shit. New subscriber.
and now we've mare mare.who's effect can be activated thrice per turn!
Ik a card how it say "skip your OWN main phase 1" sorry bad english.
Lol. I had to look up the date of this video when you started talking about Senet cards. This is kind if hilariours now.
It's actually kinda funny to see how many cards here have seen future gameplay uses and retrains.
The parasite card is surprisingly useful because it changes the enemy monsters into insects and you could activate cards that prevent certain monster types from atacking or use exceeds to insta destroy cards from a certain type
There's a Magic card called 'Letter Bomb' with a similar effect to Parasite Paracide (shuffle it into opponents deck face down, then they reveal each card they draw until they get it, and when they do they take 19.5 damage). Of course, it's from Unhinged, which is a joke set not legal for tournament play, so Parasite has the edge there.
Although Magic does have a similar effect as well (in tournament legal form) in the card Booby Trap - when played, you name a card (other than a basic land) and they reveal each card they draw. If they draw the named card, you sacrifice booby trap and deal them 10 (half their starting life).
The new Dragon Rulers hahahahaha OMG that was hillarious!!! Using convulsion of nature with true name sounds like a cool game mechanic
silent wobby. omg this is exactly the card ive been looking for in my deck. thank you.
Speaking of interesting mechanics I actually find the new world chalice monsters interesting. The main deck monsters themselves are vanilla, which alone has been a decade or two since an archetype has been vanilla, and the link monsters have the effects. Along with spell and trap support. Don't know if they are good just find them interesting
An infectious insect deck would be cool, and they could have names like parasite paraside, like how about an insect named "Infector Vector" that also shuffled itself into the opponents deck and had an effect that when it 2as drawn, the player places a "Parasite Paraside" on top of their deck and draws one card.
Nah, it would be a "Parasite Para" archetype thanks to the new monster Parasite Paranoid.
Would Silent Wobby work in an Aromages deck?
Hey at least those cards that move on to different zones on the field are finally useful for Link Monsters
I could see a weird archetype eventually made that's a slow starter but scales hard the longer the game goes. With how fast YGO duels are, it would force them to be a very defensive archetype and I imagine one designed to actively stall like that would be unpopular among players.
Still, it would be kinda fun to see a monster that's effects scale with 'Which Round Is This?'
rank10ygo, your yop 10's are hilarious yet informative. can you please list the worst non-reprint main booster pack expansions excluding the out of set cards or perhaps the worst rarity bumps in the tcg?
um not sure what you were talking about with the gk servant dfissure convulsion thing, but gk servant + any banish card makes it so the opponent can't attack. convulsion doesn't really do anything there except maybe allow them to attack bc you'd be able to confirm it wasn't a monster in the case of dfissure.
Actually, once upon a time in the mid-2000s, I had a good bit of success using Question, especially with early-game Graceful Charity, and I used Exchange quite a bit, too.
Super-late, but convulsion of nature was one of my favorite cards back in the day run with archfiend's oath and life-absorbing machine in a Hamon/Uria deck.
That placing skill will come in handy now with the Link Monsters
I have a question regarding "Yu-Jo Friendship". If you're playing online, how do you give your opponent a handshake?
Spiders (the archetype) can change monsters to face-down attack position, and there's other cards with the effect being able to change to face down defense position
Speaking of cyber dark impact's collum mechanic, link monsters practically shoving that idea down our throats come August.
Inferno tempest would be awesome in a dinosaurs deck because of Tyrano infinity
Parasitic Paracide is definitely weirder because of its effects once it's on the field, but it reminds me a lot of Beneath the Grounds from Hearthstone. Quite the interesting card.
Please explain your perception of Silent Wobby's effect. Because I'm pretty certain I can draw as the one who uses the effect and the opponent gains 2000 LP.
Effects stating that a player performs an action relate to the player controlling the card; meaning that since Silent Wobby is in your opponent's control as soon as it's summoned, they get to draw a card (since it says "draw 1 card" while it's in their control), and you get 2000 LP (since, again, it states "the opponent" while it's in your opponent's control). The same ruling applies to Santa Claws and other monsters that are summoned to your opponent's side of the field.
Hex: Shards of Fate is a card game with a lot of cards you shuffle into your opponents deck. Reginald gets shuffled into your opponent's deck and when it leaves their deck(by drawing or milling) it kills them, spider eggs get shuffled into your opponent's deck and when they leave they summon spiders for you, booby traps are shuffled into your opponent's deck and when they leave damage them. There's also plenty of cards which can put your opponent's cards into your hand.
*****
you can have 4 per deck, 60 card decks, but it's a 3/3 for 3 that has to deal damage to work. It's actually considered to be a pretty poor legendary.

does the once per turn effect of silent wobby also count for your opponent?
Bit late to ask, but something I'm wondering, what is the ruling on "Question" if the monster in question is one whose effect includes "This Card's name is treated as/becomes X while in the Graveyard", like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon? Is the opponent supposed to declare Alternative or just "Blue Eyes White Dragon" to get the question "right" in that type of scenario?
I think the opponent is supposed to declare blue eyes white dragon to get it right as the name since card effects take priority over rulings
My friend surprised me with a inferno tempest vs my super heavy samurai. it became a game I'd never forget XD
Convulsion of nature works great with Hazy flame sphynx. HFS states that if you call the next card correctly (monster, spell, trap) special summon a fire monster from hand or grave
That card that sees you play rock paper scissors with your opponent should have definitely made the list.
7:07 laughs from future in Links Mekk Knights and infinite impermanence
I actually have an Inferno Tempest deck still. It's based on Kaijus and Worms. Not the alien worms, but the worms that make your opponent draw and discard over and over again. Only deck I've seen that consistently and quickly decks people out.
With the new Link Monsters and nerfing of the Extra Deck, positioning and columns might be an interesting play style, and might need some rulings.
Ok quick question: You set Parasite Paracide. Flip it and get it shuffled into the opponenet's deck. They draw it, it is summoned, burn happens and they get insected. If it is played against, I don't know a Krawler or Subterror deck which si built around flipping cards back to face down, or Darkness Approaches Parasite, When it is flipped face up, does it go face up into your deck and when it is drawn it burns you for 1000 and your monsters become Insects?
hey, does Pyro clock work with banish cards, like galaxy cyclone that say (except the turn this was sent to the graveyard)
Drat, thought it would be kinda cool but no dice
If it hasn't been mentioned in the comments anywhere yet, I'd put forward Penguin Knight. Its effect is just adding all card in your graveyard back to your deck and shuffling it, but the way it's worded is bizarre:
"When this card is sent directly from your Deck to the Graveyard by an effect of a card controlled by your opponent, unite your Graveyard cards and your own Deck, shuffle them and form a new Deck."
Jeez, these effects. Also, thanks to Jack's Knights, Senet Switch actually has a purpose. Maybe the Darkness Approaches deck will come soon?
Thanks links format for taking our memes with darkness aproaches
