Yami: “I summon the mediocre celtic guardian”
Celtic guardian: “I’m so mediocre”
If you hadn't made that comment, I would have
Funny enough, when I used to play the game, I used to make him work and make him work well.
I get, and appreciate that reference.
@@RezeedTheDataspirit it only worked cause all your opponents were using watapon turbo
@@bancon666or it was Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, or Celtic Guard of Noble Arms, Celtic Guardian is actually pretty good
Can we get a joey/kaiba version of this list, it would be interesting to see which cards are their best/worst.
Well, Joey's deck is still quite garbage
He only win by Pure luck
Kaiba however, his deck just got better and better yet still lose to Yugi
Sean McGee yes please
Joey's most consistently useful card is easily Time Wizard. I'm pretty sure it only ever fails its spin what, twice in the entire series?
@@cherrychocolate1434 It only happened once in episode 18 during his duel against Bonz.
@THE DRAGON KNIGHT SLAYER64 Aah, my bad. I was giving Joey's insane luck too little credit lol
Give Celtic Guardian all the crap you want but it almost literally killed Kaiba.
I was happy when Celtic Guardian appeared in the Dark Side of the Dimensions!
After yugi cheated with the stupidi fuse my monster with youra
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 whats new? He always cheats
What's new? EVERYONE always cheats.
Thankyou
I feel like Dark Magician is cursed by being Yugi's special card. Killing it ramps up the tension and shows he's against a real threat.
Dark Magician mostly suffered from a large sample size with a good chunk of failures weighing down its successes. Most of the top 5 were cards that only showed up a few times and were good every time. The only card that did better with a good number of duels was Dark Magician Girl.
@@expertoflizardcorrugation3967 Guess it beats being the Yamcha'd Celtic Guardian.
The Worf Effect. They destroy him to show the bad guy means business.
Sir Will Ah, a fellow Troper. How are you sir?
Wher eis des volstgalph
You just had to work the fiddy dollar bill in there somehow.
It seems like it's becoming the JWittz's version of GameXplain's captain falcon shilouette
I low key try and predict how he's going to work it into every vid now lol
I hope he never stops
It's the new hoppip.
Can someone explain the origin of it? I assume it was on a stream or something, cause it just kind of showed up in a video and he's been doing a callback to it ever since, seems so random though.
Yugi: *Summons Catapult Turtle*
Every Monster Card on Yugi’s field: *Chuckles* I’m in danger.
Cannon Soldier and Catapult Turtle are bro..
Even in real duel if a catapult turtle is being summoned after a chain of combo is an red flag.
I still love you Celtic Guardian. No matter how obnoxious, confused, agnostic, etc you get.
"I summon the conflicted celtic guardian"
"I'm so conflicted"
supergeno128ds sexually frustrated as well
Reminds me. I STILL don't understand why the version from Dark Side of Dimensions is called "Celtic Guard of Noble Arms" When the monster has NOTHING TO DO WITH NOBLE KNIGHTS!
@@GatorRay You're... uh... kinda talking to the wrong person to vent to. I'm just happy there's a new Celtic Guardian card- regardless of its origin.
@@supergeno128ds Sorry
I feel so bad for Celtic Guardian.
He's the front-line grunt that gets creamed in virtually every duel.
Agreed. He should get his own archtype other than Obnoxious Celtic Guard and Celctic Guard of Noble Arms
@@TheRoseReaper i mean he is a noble knight
Yugi truly is the King of Games if he can win with a deck of one-offs.
That’s mostly Normal Monsters.
Hooray.
tbf, he could litterally draw every card he wanted with his millenium puzzle
His real secret is that his spell/trap cards carry him.
His mirror force does damage 💀
@@TheJWittz now you've got to come back and make BEST Yugi's spell/trap cards lol
Caveman yugioh summon monster with big numbers and hope that your opponent can´t destroy it card effects.
he also brakes the rules alot
Straight up, Celtic Guardian is one of my favorite monsters in Yugioh. I was actually so pumped when Yugi briefly summoned him in the Dark Side of Dimensions movie, it was literally a fan service moment for me!
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.
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
I think you mean Slifer the Executive Producer

Is this a yugioh channel now?
Because I'm perfectly ok with that.
Me too absolutely
Well pokemon is having it's "downtime" at the moment with main games so can't really blame him.
@@V-Jes what happened? Or rather what's happening to Pokeman?
@@dennisdustin6895 Removal of pokemon from main games and Let's go games.
@@V-Jes .... What, so you're telling me that they removed the Pokemons from a game called Pokemon?
Rules: exist
Catapult Turtle: *it's free real state*
State. Not estate, but state
Rules: exist
Catapult Turtle: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that
okay loli
Judge? The game estate?
*CLAP* You made a diddily darn typo there, freind.
I think it would be interesting if you ranked Ash’s Pokémon like this. Giving them points for special stuff like winning, winning despite type disadvantages and winning with advantages, but also taking away points for fainting, getting status conditions and losing despite having a type advantage. And for simplicity sake, only include important battles like gym, rival and league battles.
I think that would be a fun video from you.
I wonder if cards like Celtic Guardian know that they're cannon fodder
Maybe that's why he's so obnoxious.
where is des volstgalph
Catapult turtle was CANNON fodder 🥁
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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 ).
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.
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.
So, is this channel diving back into it's card game roots?
"Yugioh's a game of Life Points"

Dzeef:WRONG
@@sebman6031 But I'm not though

Yeetus skeetus eat the feetus.
I'd argue a monster being destroyed in defence mode should have been a +0.5 because they did there job of protecting life points
What's that, the participation trophy? :D Any monster can protect life points, it's main purpose is to stay alive.
@@Gloriankithsanus You know that piling up the Graveyard is part of the game's tactic, don't you?
@@roberthasudungan1546 Not in Yugi's Goodstuff deck, though. His only GY interaction is "Reborn The Monster."
Good decks totally use the graveyard. Yugi's... Is not a good deck, for the most part.
There is no useless cards in yugi's deck stated by yugi in the show while sacrificing celctic guardian.
Every duel in Yu-Gi-Oh be like:
Main character: *Summons a weak monster with like 1200 ATK and no effect*
Villain: *Summons a weaker monster and sets a card*
Main character: *Attacks despite the fact his opponent has a face-down card*
Villain: *Activates his trap*
Villain: *Summons a powerful monster 'cause of the trap's effect*
Villain: *Attacks a card so the main character has less than 1000 LP*
Main character: *Draws again but this time it's got a bunch of cool effects and gets a good card*
Main character: *Summons that card or activates an effect to summon a powerful card*
Main character: *Attacks and wins the duel*
Yugioh DM in a nutshell, but I can say it's no longer like that since Arc-V.
@@anangunggulbimantara742 Yeah. Now they summon *4* new cards and attack to win the duel.

Hey wait a minute.
Awesome seeing a Yugioh video on this channel! :)
Yoooooo Cyberknight wasup
Where is Des Volstgalph on this list
When you realize Kuriboh was the original "Hand Trap".
Mindblown
I love witnessing someone's descent into a new obsession.
This was really cool. I'd love to see more videos like this exploring the other characters in the series.
This video was suprising and a delight. Thanks for the fun :)
heheh, nice. more YuGiOh videos mean more approval from me.
Love all the Yu-Gi-Oh Content you've been putting out JWittz!
As a YGO player I didn't really have too much expectations coming into this but really well done!
I'm loving all this Yu-Gi-Oh content, there's pretty few good consistent Yugi-tubers, so it's nice to see it mixed into your stuff
Man I love your channel, doing both Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. you're a two in one.

MUSHROOM MAN.
I love the effort and love you put into this list!
You need to get YGOPro. All cards are added to it and ready to play (even the brand new cards get added daily)

This is so nerdy... and I absolutely LOVE IT
Nice vid! My favorite of Yugi's monsters is Curse of Dragon. I wish it had more support in today's meta.
Dude this channel came back and it’s amazing
I mainly watch yugioh videos in YT but it’s cool seeing some one out side of the yugitube community marking videos about Ygo even better since it’s jwits
Is Dark Magician Girl in the top 5? Yes? That's all I needed to know
Yes
This is amazing, great video :) love these iconic monsters
Your vids have been POPPING my man
Pokemon Man evolves into Nintendo Man.
Nintendo Man evolves into Yu-Gi-Oh Man.
Jwittz just made Yu-Gi-Oh grading more complicated XD
Still not anywhere near as complicated as Link Format.
Something tells me he's not giving up his Archfiend of Gilfer card.
5:44 And thus you have revealed the sad reality of Dark Magician's fate in the IRL card game. Outclassed in attack despite its flavor text, hard to summon due to its level, and in desperate need of support cards if it is to do anything meaningful (in both individual duels and the overall metagame). Still, absolutely love Mahado and these Yugioh videos! I'm in that Yugioh obsession phase myself.
Correct. I still play Dark Magician despite its difficulties because it's my favorite.
*Dark Magic Curtain* + *Megamorph* is your friend, mate
Robert HS he said WITHOUT support cards
Another consecutive Saturday upload? Absolute mad lad
Beast of Gilfer was even useful for Yugi in GX when he fought Jaden!
I personally think it was stupid of Judai to use Impact Flip, letting Yugi mill Beast of Gilfer to take down his Bladedge, and then getting him to draw Card of Sanctity to draw 6 more cards.
If he didn't activate Impact Flip, Yugi would have topdecked Beast of Gilfer with no monsters on field, and a 2600 beatstick on his opponent's field
Love seeing these yugioh videos, really enjoying them. If you ever do more, do Kaiba, Joeys and Mai's decks.
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'm just waiting for a Yu-Gi-Oh! intro at this point..
You’re becoming a Yu-Gi-Oh channel and I’m living for it! Great content as always!
Amazing! You put so much work into that! I'd love to see a Jaden Yuki version of this someday!
Love the new topic/direction!
I'm loving the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Content, I'd love to see you talk about more than the original series, because there's a real wealth of content out there.
If I remember, there was a fan duel a few years back with 4 Yu-Gi-Oh protagonists fighting one of the newer villains & the only reason they one was thanks to (apparently) Yugi's ace monster
pikagammerplus pizza I think that was the 2015 ycs tourney finale, the original voice dub of Kaiba and yugi had a voiceover of the duel (pre recorded- and scripted) ofc
@@ki7966 no actually the video was yugi jaden yusei and yuma vs zarc. But the video got copyright striked so the guy who made it had all the songs taken out.
Still a cool duel though.
I love you for doing this. I know this had to take a lot of time
Man I love your videos. I was only a casual yugioh fan and I still found this video highly entertaining/informative. Keep up the good work my dude 👏
All of Yugi's cards are amazing because he makes up card effects as he goes along. Even normal monsters like mystical elf with NO special abilities cast a spell to weaken the opponents monsters and kuribo explodes on contact and if combined with multiply it multiplies WAY over the max 5 monsters allowed in the RULES
Yoooooo no points for defensive monsters? Why you gotta do my boy Giant Soldier of Stone like that?!
Attacker Bias!
Not to mention the defensiest of defense bois, Big Shield Gardna.
chumps sitting in defense don't win the games, not even superheavies, samurais or total defensed shoguns are gonna save you here
@@mageside It should be worth a few points if their defense is what keeps you in a game instead of instantly losing on any particular round
Seriously. I actually have run one or two Giant Soldiers of Stone because they have a high defense for no tributes. It was a good way to stall so I could get good cards dueling friends in high school.
To be fair, Defense position monsters in the anime are normally just fodder for the opponent to have a reason to break out their big gun and erase it. How often did Giant Soldier of Stone or Big Shield Gardna actually block an attack and cost the opponent Life Points?
Gotta Love the amount of work you put in for this video!
This is so much grind and heart into a video i'm surprised this isn't liked more
I feel like dark magician increasing dark magician girl’s attack by effect from the graveyard should’ve counted for something if it didn’t, I don’t know if the last scoring criteria included that
*_I Summon Little Kuriboh_*
Little Kuriboh : doo da la la la...
This was a pretty interesting video! I sure didn't expect number 1 either!
I really hope you keep the Yugioh videos coming! I recently just got really into it again around the same time you did.
I was also pretty surprised that Dark Magician wasn't always summoned in most of Yugi's duels. It's a pretty refreshing contrast in that way.
Jaden does Neos
Yusei does Stardust
Yuma does Hope
Yuya does Odd Eyes
Yusaku.......well his deck's all over the place.
Kinda sad that once Yusei got Stardust, he rarely used Junk Warrior.
Then the final duel happened, and it was beautiful.
@@ShallBePurified Scrap Fistooo!!
Yusaku has the almighty power of FIREWALL PASS!
Well Yusaku's deck is all over the place because they can't use the other summoning mechanics as easily like Yuya could in Arc-V
That's why I hate Link Summoning. It was created to prevent Extra Deck abuse but it only made it worse since Links can do it much easier than the previous mechanics
I'm loving the increase of YuGiOh content!
What an interesting video idea. Great stuff, Josh. Loving this Yu-Gi-Oh content
I see you with the Duelist of the Roses music at the end there. Nice touch!
> Alpha: 5th place, above even Dark Magician.
> Beta: 10th place, still positive.
> Gamma: 23rd or below, not making the list.
rip purple robot boy.
Alas, Gamma didn't appear in enough duels that Jwitzz looked at (only two: The tag-team with Kaiba against Lumis and Umbra and the Battle City Quarter Final against Bakura). 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.
Is this a yugioh channel now?
Not entirely.
It's a Duel Monsters channel as I don't remember him mentioning anything from 2004 and onwards.
@@pablomadrid6962 So does that make him a yugioh "genwunner" or something?
@@manekimoney kind of? I don't know his opinions on GX and beyond
Not a pack opening channel.
Acsilverfish360 also not a banlist channel.
This was really fun. I was never big into Yu-Gi-Oh but I DID watch it fairly often as a kid. You're like dredging up ancient memories.
The amount of work that went into this video is astounding. Fantastic job 👏👏👏
So much Yu-Gi-Oh content lately. Not that I'm complaining.
Wonder what's next.
omg how could you forget that one time in the last episode when beast of gilfer makes an appearance
This was well thought out fun to watch.
Good to see you branching out for topics, as much as I love Pokémon.
Love the hard work on these videos. Makes me want to give Yugioh a chance
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.
0:03 yugi is right as all cards even the weakest can be used in a way to defeat your opponent
William worrall but only if you combine it with the best card in the game: Asspull.
This is honestly one of the coolest videos I've ever seen
Keep the Yugioh content pumping out. I love these videos!
After the pre intro scene, I just subconsciously heard the GMM intro.
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.
This is a great content analysis!
Been getting some miles on the fity dolla bill gag Mr.Wittz? please continue, it makes me smile every time.
My GP's deck has no pathetic cards: pathetic cards exist
Yugi in a later episode: there are no bad cards
If pathetic cards don’t exist, a deck can’t contain them C:
Zone Eater:exists
Mai only has one monster in her whole deck, she still does alright...
2 on her chest
Lost to Joey lost to Tea lost marik
after i go thru these battles over and over again gee it soo swell to finally meet her other cards
For a pokemon channel, you've uploaded more yugioh content lately than some yugioh channels I've followed, right as I got back into pokemon, lol!.
Summoned Skull is really good for early Yu-Gi-Oh! since special summoning wasn't as prominent as it was and strategies were more beatstick reliant so a 1 tribute 2500 beatstick is great.
You could also make the case for Cyber-Tech Alligator, seeing it has the same ATK as Summoned Skull, but with 400 more DEF and only level 5 instead of 6. Only problem back then was a lack of availability. Seriously, we had this one in the video games for decades, yet it took until _2007_ for a worldwide physical release!?
@@SuperGoker64
It's defense being higher makes it worse, since it wasn't searchable with Witch of the black forest

Your point system is incredibly nerdy and I love it.
Id love to see more Yugioh content! My favorite card game of all time! Also, if you ever do another video like this, how about characters from the newest series? There are a bunch of duels, yes, but seeing what cards are the best and worst for Yusaku, Revolver, Blue Angel, etc. would be extremely awesome.
