I do agree with Dave. After so much time suffering in the hands of Ash Blossom and Veilers we now have a light at the end of the tunnel with Called by the Grave. And it's cheap af, so any budget decks can use it.
Multifaker is a girl, as are all the Altergeists. Deck is used by a female in the anime and all of the monsters are based on well known mythological spirits that are often shown as females in mythology and media like silky, melusine and female deitys like hestia, banshee and durga. Also very good list I feel, agree with everything
The Knightmare Goblin/Brilliant Fusion comparison in the video reminded me of a joke by Kyle Kinane I really enjoy comparing potatoes and fish. Basically fish are vegetables because potatoes require more effort to make them edible. Gotta plant the potato, gotta dig up the potato, gotta wash the potato, gotta cook the potato. Fish, you can just reach into the water, grab the fish and bite into. The joke goes on like that and he's cumpletely not wrong. Pretty amusing.
Fun fact, isolde is one of the only noble knight playmakers that doesn't lock you into noble knights, they are sn extremely xena warrior princess phobic archetype
There was a ycs where the finals had sky striker v thunder dragons and all the sky striker dude had to do to win was shark cannon a chump blocker out of his opponent’s grave to win in time, but he chose a colossus/titan that was summoned via effect, and as the opponent was handing it to him, the judge stopped them and said “no, that one wasn’t properly summoned, it gets banished but not summoned” and thus the sky striker dude lost. Could have picked any other monster but by choosing that one he played himself and lost haha. So yea, it’s important to remember
@@bulbasam2143 it's even more, because you can't summon them with other effects because they need to be Fusion Summon them OR special summon by their own effect
Kinda amazed how big thunder dragons got all of a sudden, but at the same time I’m not really complaining. Decent mechanic and it would be kinda nice to see if other really old combo cards could become proper archetypes
If you had to remake this list, it would be crazy. For starters the only cards that aren’t banned or limited are at the top and you’d have cut those for the cards that are banned
Engage is way better than Pot of Greed, especially if you get stupid lucky like me. Nothing quite like using Engage to search Vectored Blast, get 2 more spells in the grave and bounce their extra monster zone monster back, summon Kagari, get back Engage, search something, draw another engage, search something, draw the third engage, search again, switch to Shizuku, blow up Hercules base, shuffle Kagari and 2 of the engages back to the deck, set engage from the grave with multi-roll, use Shizuku to recover a second from the deck. Sometimes my deck is bullshit and I feel bad.
Fun fact, Ghost Belle can't hit a Paleo's GY effect, since you're not special summoning a monster card. Not sure if you meant actual Paleo or Ronintoading for Ghost Belle being a good side against Paleo. Anyways, hope this info will be useful to you
Unpopular opinion. But thunder dragon colossus is the best designed boss monster in the game. He has an impact with hs floodgate effect, but he doesn’t stop the opponent from doing basic game mechanics like special summoning (looking at you Kirstia). And he has a decent enough summoning mechanic that he isn’t too splash-able without main deck commitment. And his protection, while strong isn’t infinite or too wide.
What about borrelgaurd? I don't get why more people don't realize how good that card is just simply based on the fact that it cannot be destroyed by card effects. Youth Summit you activate dark hole boom everything's dead but him
There's one non-effect Thunder Dragon... The OG Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, one of the most useful cards in Yugioh: The Forbidden Memories. Of course, you'll never find him in the hand.
Just wait until Great General of the Six Samurai hits the TCG. Six Sams will become Tier 0 once more! Unless they ban Gateway, then Six Sams will become Tier 2 at the very least
Don’t play since those “synchro” cards got released (2009,2010 idk)... I’m like “wth is Link?!?”, looks like a “magic” card... don’t mind me, I’m long retired, I hope it still fun to play.
I like Summon Sorceress too, but I feel like she needs to be errated or banned. Errata should include, cannot Link summon monsters during the turn Summon Sorceress was Link summoned
tho do you think many would play here if you stopped right in your plays hole reason she good is you can link climb doing this would hinder her usefulness tho i do agree she broke and something needs to happen
John Doe it’s the same utility as effect veiler, but also gets bonus points as 1) it dodges called by the grave And 2) it can be set and potentially disrupt any backrow your opponents have. It’s a better version of veiler.
Blank God Yet Electrumite was put to 1. How many of those links was ever hit? Only Goblin. Electrumite enabled pendulum to do wombo-combos to make ridiculous boards and single handed lay turned pendulums from Timestar Trapgraph pass into wombo combo with several negates overnight. Could you imagine if we still had Double Iris or Plushfire? That would have been absolutely ridiculous and enabled boards that really shouldn’t exist.
Fun fact: Pankratops is not just random syllables, but actually a reference to the sport of Pankration, a type of Greek wrestling. This is the only time knowing about that has ever been relevant in my life.
Aggrax yeah i actually think it’s one of the best card names of 2018 for that reason
Baki?
All of the dinowrestlers are named after fighting arts.
It says a whole lot when a COMMON card ends up being the best card ever.
There was a civil war over this list
The List:
Dwayne the Dino Johnson
Heavy Metalfoes Pendulum Magician
Thunder Big Boi
Sky Striker - Bonus Draw
Yugioh Waifu 2018
Green Goblin
I sold my soul to get a playset

Top 10 Duel Links Cards of 2018:
1-10) Wall of Disruption
lanceuppercut88 8 junk synchro
9 armadies
WoD is quite predictable and not that big of a problem if you play around it, I'd say the top 1 is Paleozoic Canadia
1. Treacherous Trap Hole
2. Paleozoic Canadia
3. Silent Magician
4. Masked Hero Anki
5. Junk Synchron
6. Wall of Disruption
7. Wiz, Sage Fur Hire
8. Hey, Trunade!
9. Cosmo Brain
10. Blue Boy

Man imagine Isolde in a rouge strategy using elma, the loops man. The loops.
Get Lost in space we still have Elma’s retared little brother in the game
Phoenix blade
True, but i mean if you aren't play competitive you may as well take advantage of what is there. Don't you think?
Rogue not rouge. One is a type of makeup. One is a thief or a lower level but still competent deck. COUGH COUGH RAIDRAPTORS
2019 is going to be crazy. Orcust presumably going to tier 1, the World Legacy storyline wrapping up, and 3 new TCG archetypes. Lot to look forward to
I never realized that titan and colossus weren’t proper fusion summons
They slso cant be revived ever so thats always good
But you can use the fusion spell
Contact fusion is never a proper fusion summon, though it is a proper summoning condition

A big year of FTK decks for sure.
I love listening to you talk about yugimans

OMGGGGGGG THE BEARD 🤩🤩😍
It's also a disservice to not mention isoldes art is incredible
Unpopular opinion.

Yes t dragons are a vary fair deck
I swore marshmallon glasses would have been on this list, it’s just so broken!
2 Shoezz and magic cylinder
Though it released in 2017 I'd still have to say that Evenly Matched is one of the strongest side deck staples in the game.
What about borrelgaurd? I don't get why more people don't realize how good that card is just simply based on the fact that it cannot be destroyed by card effects. Youth Summit you activate dark hole boom everything's dead but him
Good seeing you at regionals
I declare ultimate victory. I was the most correct. All bow before... THE CHAZZ.
Also altergeists are all waman dave.
Gotta respect the wamens
Giving a like for the Goblin Slayer reference!
Also, I am all for the body pillows but I would prefer an Esdeath one.
23:10 Yeah i sidedeck 2 in my monarchs just in case someone runs droll or an ogre.
The second I saw that summon sorc on only nr 5 all I thought was.
Oh, no!
What could have been possibly worse than summon sorc.
15:26 that upper right though...
Rias Gremory body pillow pls
Soon the Dinowrestlers will become meta. It happened with Gouki, it happened with salamangreat. Soon...
“Sum summer.. Fuck” 2019 is gonna he a good year for Dave and us scrubscribers
Hey Dave I have a obselk the tomenter card.
There's one non-effect Thunder Dragon... The OG Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, one of the most useful cards in Yugioh: The Forbidden Memories. Of course, you'll never find him in the hand.
I need to get one more called by the grave.
Just wait until Great General of the Six Samurai hits the TCG.
Six Sams will become Tier 0 once more! Unless they ban Gateway, then Six Sams will become Tier 2 at the very least
Firewall Dragon didn't even SNIFF this list. Impossible
Don’t play since those “synchro” cards got released (2009,2010 idk)... I’m like “wth is Link?!?”, looks like a “magic” card... don’t mind me, I’m long retired, I hope it still fun to play.
Thanks Kami, very cool!
You poor sweet child I hope you never duel gouki until you start using meta
Cyberse clock dragon? Not on here?
I like Summon Sorceress too, but I feel like she needs to be errated or banned.
Errata should include, cannot Link summon monsters during the turn Summon Sorceress was Link summoned
tho do you think many would play here if you stopped right in your plays hole reason she good is you can link climb doing this would hinder her usefulness tho i do agree she broke and something needs to happen
god bless Goblin Ryan and his melancholy face.
Notice how everything on the list is now banned or limited except the top2 cards xD
Summon sorceress doublecross frog to your opponent and then use it to summon your own thing
I swear if scrambled egg isn't on here im gonna flip
Called by Dave is number 1?
Oh I see what you did there.
Don't worry 2019's sets were pretty underwhelming too
NO STEP. NO STEP ON SNEK
i still dont get why infinite impermanence is better than effect veiler?
John Doe it’s the same utility as effect veiler, but also gets bonus points as
1) it dodges called by the grave
And 2) it can be set and potentially disrupt any backrow your opponents have. It’s a better version of veiler.
Aswell you can use it any time if you have no cards on the board or have it set instead of just opponents main phase

Pretty much all generic links are busted and banworthy. Isolde in my opinion should be at 1 or 0.
she only bad cause most link climb in to summon sorceress if they ban here she wont be that broke
Isolde helps a lot of generic warrior decks, so she can't be at 0 atm. And limiting her is pointless, since most decks rarely use more than one copy
Hello
Goblin, sorc, gumblar, saryuja were the only broken cards mentioned here
Blank God Yet Electrumite was put to 1. How many of those links was ever hit? Only Goblin.
