Maybe I'm about to put in shambles your whole world view, but her original name is Valkyria, and many of her show up in D/D/D's Dark Contract with the Valkyias.
I remember Tellarknights once played the literal worst monster in their archetype: Satellarknight Rigel specifically to get rid of Nekroz Unicore, because it's a normal summon 1900 that can boost its attack by 500 to bump over Unicore's 2300. And I'm not joking, but that card literally won Tellarknights the 2015 World Championship in the final against Nekroz.
I was playing 3 ready fusion paired with Dragoness the wicked Knight in my Phantom Knights deck as an extender. You can also special Takentomborg if you draw it, as Dragoness is a wind type.

Magical hats was used in Ancient Gears so that your opponent destroys your Geartown "by battle" and proc it's effect to summon 2 ancient gears from deck. Usually wyvern and reactor dragon
@S V Also, if it's an Equip card, or somehow becomes an Equip card, it can be destroyed by game mechanics if its equipped monster is destroyed. …I dunno if there's actually any effects that allow you to treat a non-Equip S/T (except itself) as an Equip, but it could just be future-proofing.
I remember playing Pendulum Storm in the Pendulum Magician side deck for the mirror. Duelist Alliance can search it, but it doesnt require you to have a card in the pendulum zone, only that any player have it, so you could search the Pendulum Storm, clear your opponent’s scales and get rid of their Time Pendulumgraph, all without commiting a single card onto the field to be popped by the Time Pendulumgraph or the destroyed Purple Poison. It was really cool in the mirror, but it was PENIS BAD against literally everything else
Pendulum storm was legitimately good in any meta where most people are playing pendulums. Even up to when electrumite was out and magician's took over for the 3rd time.
If I recall correctly from deck profiles, Beta was the Dai target in some Adamancipator decks because it was able to beat over 3 Mat Appo after it used one negate
As a person playing Ice Barriers in 2022, and have been playing Ice Barriers since 2009, seeing an Ice Barrier card that was at one point meta makes me so immensely happy.
Well, all your syncros have been meta at some point. Even the new one, it's pretty good in all kinds of syncro decks. My Crystal Beast deck adores being able to slam it down on turn 2.
Struggling to see how "Neos Alius is good because it happens to be a 4* light gemini hero" isn't EXACTLY the kind of stars aligning in a way that means it happens to be good
The point is kinda Neos Alius wasnt entirely carried by GSpark. After the Destiny engine drop offs, Alius is by proxy the best target for a long time and theres a massive chasm between Alius/Stratos and the rest. Helps that theres multiple time up to late 5d where simply being a normal 1900 is unironically good since it trades to TKRO which Stratos is helpless against and Hero Blast basically had Alius written on its name. The card was solid without Spark. Spark push it into the most well supported card in the entire game from a competitive standpoint
Older formats man, it legit was the only way to play heros till shadowmist came out unless you played the lvl 3 vanilla's with a lot of a lot of polymerization cards which was booty.
@@Arthas35788 the point is the card itself doesn't do jack shit, the stars just align on it being able to benefit from tons of support from favored archetypes and attributes.
@@luminous3558 Nice. In today's game, I run it in a digital bug beetrooper deck on Edopro. Coincidentally, my extra also runs a single giga brilliant an easy R3 when I have nothing better.
Soul of Purity and Light also used to be played in Herald of Perfection since it was a lv 6 for ritual fodder, and it could adjust your grave for Krystia lol
The true original Penis card was Thunder Dragon. Running three 5 star bricks just to afford discard costs and get a free light monster in your graveyard for Chaos.
@@alonsoarana5307 there's no combo. it's just an out to the wind barrier statue that 60-card piles have started running in conjunction with Unexpected Dai
Great Video Idea. I'd definitely up for a part 2 if you find enough material. btw, its seriously impressive that MBT just casually knows exactly what all these cards where used for.
God, imagine how intimidated you would be if your opponent combos into The Statue of Easter Island. That person is playing the game on a completely different level.
Was suprised not to see Jurrac Aleo on here. as a forgettable card from a forgettable bad deck. it quickly became the most expensive dino card shortly after the release of the dinosaur structure deck due to the fact it was the only 1 star dinosaur typer tuner in the whole game. Able to be summoned from the deck with but a single Misc, you could go into chanbara to push for game. Later you could go into denlong to get a search, and later on still into Halq.
While this isn't exactly competitive, more of a niche concept. Red-Eyes Metal Dragon, while bad, had a very niche yet good use when summoning Lord of the Red. Because of the ritual spell, it can be either used in hand or from the graveyard (after using Red-Eyes Insight) as a ritual cost to summon Lord of the Red, because of the fact that it's a Lv10 Red-Eyes Monster. Unfortunately now that Darkness Metal is back to unlimited, this niche play is basically gone unless you're afraid of banishing all 3 copies.
Yeah, and in the 2015 World Championship they also played Rigel because it can out Nekroz Unicore. In fact I remember tyat card won a game against Nekroz in the final match to make Tellarknights the World Champion of that year.
I have one. Did really well at a regionals with it. Back in Hand Control format (So the oldest of old school), I ran Mefist the Infernal General instead of Airknight Parshath because I viewed stripping the hand was better in a world where we had 1 Delinquent Duo, 1 Confiscation, and 2 Forceful Sentry and everyone played Cyber Jar, Fiber Jar, and often Magician of Faith.
I was not expecting to see my man Tyhone #2! He was one of my very first cards, my very first card above 4 stars, and the boss monster of my very first deck, so I have a very close and fond relationship with Tyhone #2 so seeing him being recognized in this felt amazing! Shout outs to those Hazy Flamers for being such goats for giving my man a purpose.
I remember those days lmao, OG shaddoll was a different breed. People would just put in cards that they liked or thought would be occasionally good. I remember seeing a light of Lightsworn Shaddolls, since the lightsworn milling shaddolls gave you effects and the shaddoll fusion could send wulf/felis for its effect. It was so bad, but when the pieces lined up it looked borderline competent.
@@TromboneMaster95 I swear it's like folks forget all the good light monsters we already ran. My first build of Shaddolls back in the day used Collapserpent Wyverburster and Eclipse Wyvern.
I remember playing 1 Lightsworn wulf, 2 Dawn knight. Dawn knight to recycle the wulf by making it CL2 after Squamata or Hedgehog and if i drew it i'd summon it to send the wulf or make a rank 4 with the wulf i sent off of shaddoll fusion
My favorite penis card is Genex Ally Duradark. People teched it in rulers to out Ophion. It was $30 at one time, i sold all of my copies, i had so many it was enough to get a new TV.
Yeeeeeessssss! I played Luster Plush Clownblade with Masked Chameleon and the Brilliant engine, and although the typical play was to Pendulum summon Chameleon, the effect was game-determinative at times with Garnet.
OMG Aqua Dolphin had the stars align on it in a major way. Reverse powercreep got AFD banned. Go like Firewall; save our Signer Dragon. Also there's "Garnets", cards that are bad by themselves but necessary for a big card.
@@Marcusjnmc The video this thread is on is all about cards that became good because the stars aligned for them, and they found a deck you could bring to Nats. I don't remember Aqua Dolphin being too incredible till like five years back. Iirc Grand Mole was the only Spacian worth its initial cred.
@@runningoncylinders3829 it's awful cards that are objectively bad that were good one time, dolphin has been good ever since isolde released and a warrior normal summon that ripped ash blossom became relevant, which is an objectively strong interaction, and it's remained about as good for half a decade.
Coming back to mention that in POTE Format, Branded Tearelement is teching in D3S Frog as a target for Branded In High Spirits, because it matches the statline required for cost, and is an Aqua which is used for some of the Tear Fusions.
There was a recent OCG instructor deck that uses Magical Hats in Unchained as a way to pop backrow on the opponent's turn, in conjunction with Z-ONE as a way to make their continuous spell actually viable. I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since they posted it.
idlee - the 9 star knightmare shit show effect monster, was run in Dino Chalice lists for a bit as a target for world legacy monstrosity, needing something that didn't conflict with your Fire true king - paired along side with Get ready Super anti-kaiju machine mecha thunder king for its monster reborn effect
Surprised at the lack of mention of Trigon. A Fire Dragon to search off of Blaster that was also a Debris target. Book of Eclipse, back in the infancy of modern Yugioh where boards were starting to get bigger but we didn't have many good going 2nd cards. Mystical Refpanel. Jesus christ I still have nightmares of the rulings of this card. Shoutout to Triangle Ecstasy Spark for the fucked ruling of this card at an event (I forget which event). Edit: I just remembered the infancy of post-banlist Dracopals. That entire deck was *FULL* of penis cards. Edit 2: Holy shit, remember when Junk & Debris played Neo-Spacian Glow Moss? Edit 3: IRON CHAIN DRAGON. I get PTSD attacks from milling my opponent's Mali's/Plagues with Iron Chain Dragon. It would have been SO much better if the level 6 Debris Synchro was literally just a vanilla.
@Joan Aguayo Planell Eh, it's okay. This comment was made far before Kashira's bullshittery, and at this point, it's really just there since a huge amount of other hate cards don't do much against the deck.
I think in the same vein as dark witch the ocg was experimenting with metaphys armed dragon. Because it was a light, 2800 atk/1000 def normal monster that could be added back off of lazuli and used to meet the requirements for tenacity
I choked on my drink when you brought up The Statue of Easter Island. Are you trying to kill me? Other than that, this was a pretty cool history lesson in very specific tech cards. Personally, i'm playing 2 Breaker the Magic Warrior in my Impcantation deck since it gets over Secret Village. Thats, like, the one card thats the bane of my existence.
Yeah people were kinda desperate for anything back in Nekroz format. I also remember Medallion of the Ice Barrier seeing play because it was essentially a reverse Uno card whenever the opponent activated the effect of Nekroz of Trishula.
Another example of a card similar to Pianissimo during the Zoodiac format was My body as a shield. i remember seeing full playsets of that card being ran at my locals to counter not only Drident but also other types of destruction effects that were popular at the time.
There were also arguments that it was better, since it protected for the rest of the turn instead of just once. It was insane if they dropped Raigeki or similar before summoning their Zoo. It also didn't destroy their card, so it was less good AGAINST Drident. Well, except for that they couldn't My Body your My Body... That format was so much fun and the tech choices were crazy.
Now do cards that were widely used but have secondary effects that nobody knows. Like Black Rose banishing plants to reduce atk or SKDSV getting piercing upon copying effects.
@@ecreiP yeah but the first time I saw it happen I read like 4 cards before I found out where the piercing came from. Utterly bizarre but quite welcome.
Have we talked about the absolute penis cards people played in order to out Evilswarm Ophion? I remember Genex Ally Duradark being the big one, but if I remember correctly Prophecy decks were also playing Injection Fairy Lily since it was a Spellcaster (lmao) that could on its own pump itself over Ophion and kill it.
Suprised there weren't any weird rescue cat targets like Samnite and Airbellum that just fit the level 3 beast factor and nothing else. Speaking of cats, I remember cat's ear tribe coming up when fire formation tenki was the hot new shit because you can beat over anything with it.
Yeah I remember the cats ear tribe thing, my friend would play it. I don't think it ever saw competitive success because it was just too bad, but it was still really funny.
Airbellum was a tuner that ripped cards out of your opponents hand on top of being a decent sized body in its own right. Wouldn’t exactly call it penis quality. Samnite was a searcher for glads so not all that penis quality either. You wouldn’t run the two in the same deck. I’ll give you cat’s ear tribe though that shit is lookin like straight up dick for fire fist format.
For playing Goat/Reaper Format, I love using 3-Hump Lacooda and Wicked Worm Beast as Rescue Cat targets. The copium play is to go Cat -> 2 Lacoodas, Last Will to summon 2nd Cat -> last Lacooda and Worm Beast. Tribute 2 Lacoodas to draw 3, and during End Phase you get the Worm Beast back in your hand before it dies to Cat’s effect.
Back in pepe format I refused to shell out for pepe so I played this sky scourge norleras turbo build I found online. You played mostly ba to mill and fill grave with dark fiends, small fluffal engine of bear wings and vendor for draws and wings being a light fairy, monster reincarnation incase you milled norleras or phantom of chaos, and lightsworn charge and shire, lightsworn spirit, a level 3 fairy. Just a penis pile.
Back when rota was not limited, I played Spell striker in any deck that needed an extra body/lv3 on field. It also had the funny thing of hitting directly for game. Good times
I still remember people running X-Saber Palomuro in PePe/Magician decks because it was a level 1 earth tuner for Naturia Beast that was searchable with King of the Feral Imps.
Crazy Box was ran solely to be an easy Eradicator Epidemic Virus target in the r4 toolbox. If you were a chad, you'd use its effect first. Machina Gadgets ran Meklord Emperor Wisel (in the side deck) to beat Fire Fists.
I’m a fan of random “engines” that saw play for like a single point in time and never again. Stuff like symphonic warrior engine in some grass decks in 2018 or the empowered warrior engine that was mega copium around 2016ish.
symphonic warrior got played in a bunch of decks, it's a machine pendulum that gives you 2 normal summons in the link era , had at minimum regional play with abc, dinomist, majespecters & metalfoes + inevitably others
@@Marcusjnmc that and a lvl 5 machine for Infinity or synchro plays. Not really a penis card, since it is really good in most circumstances. Almost like the predaplant engine
I remember my first ever set of yugioh cards that I only cracked open and really looked at in like 2009 (the actual cards were from like 2004 or something) had the statue of easter island in it. Also had three monster reborns for some reason
I would love to see a proper video series that goes in depth for all these kinds of cards. Tells us WHY Tyhone 2 was both hilarious and correct for Hazy Flames
oh I can answer that! Hazy Flame played heiratic convocation and tefnuit as a free body to tribute going second, so it would give you a level 6 fire monster for the basiltrice, as well as whatever you'd get off the sphynx/peryton
lmao when you ask a simple question on twitter and it accidentally becomes a ygo history lesson 100 times better than all those vids megacapG has ever done
I wouldn't say Smoke Grenade is a bad card. It's broken in Infernoble Knights, meanwhile most of the cards in this video only saw play due to extremely niche cases and a lack of better cards.
Surprised nobody mentioned X-Saber Palomuro; played for the specific, lone purpose of "He was a level 1 EARTH Reptile Tuner". You'd search for and summon Palomuro with King Of The Feral Imps, summon Hat Tricker (or some other EARTH, he was just easiest), then make Naturia Beast on your opening turn m e m e s
Galaxy Serpent was played in Dragon Link with the Draconnet engine as a way to get full guardragon combo and Ib the World Chalice Justiciar back in 2019. It also had a very advantageous attribute for Collapserpent specifically
Their is also jurrac aolo it was a lv 1 dino tuner for miscell for denglong or later on ib was like 4$ for a garbo lv 1 effect monster tuner thats only effect was to git rid of it self to summon another garbage monster because it never got reprinted
Then after some time, Kabalsaurus became better than Saversaurus because Bahamut Shark and Toadally Awesome became a thing, so the WATER attribute became more significant than the 200 extra ATK, and when the 2000 ATK WATER vanilla dinosaur came out, it was Saversaurus that got the boot in favor of all WATER so you could always choose between Dolkka/Laggia/Bahamut.
And funnily enough, now Sabersaurus will become a penis card, since it's technically the best normal Dino you can play with the Transcendrake fusion, because it's Earth and thus a target for Lithosagym in a pinch.
I'm just imagining using Magical Hats to put 2 Waking The Dragons on board and have them destroyed by battle just to float into Ultimate Falcon and something else broken.
I think Soul of Purity and Light used to be great in general, just a nice extra bonus for light themed decks to throw down or for the high level synchrons.
I remember back in the day running Magical Hats in Harpies just to get Hysteric Sign to the graveyard. You also ran cards like Breakthrough Skill and Skill Prisoner along with it, just so you have other stuff that does something in the grave.
I remember running Grisaille Prison in Gem Knights which was a trap that locked both players out of Synchro/Xyz summons until your next turn if you controlled a tribute, ritual or fusion summoned monster. Swords at Dawn in Noble Knights and most of all Sanguine Swamp in Lightsworns from an old JP list
I played Giga Gagagigo in my MD Umi Control deck because it was a summon I could get off of fish sonar. It's also the best target for Sea Stealth Attack so I could keep the floodgate/negate live after a harpie's feather duster
In master duel, I run the illusory gentleman because he is summonable by unexpected Dai, ebon illusion magician, and magician's navigation, he can be tributed for illusion magic, he can fuse into the dark magicians, and he can link into imduk (who can be fused into dark magician the dragon knight).
Great analysis video! I always love seeing bad cards put to good use in such innovative ways like this! Looking forward to more content like this! Thanks for uploading!
My favorite was when I was one misplay from topping a regional with hieratics playing dragonic tactics. Tribute 2 dragons to summon a level 8 dragon from the deck. So you special 2 hieratics for free (going 2nd), then use tactics to tribute both and summon a blue-eyes from the deck, and trigger both hieratic effects to get 2 more dragon normals. Usually 2 labradorites. Then proceed to combo off from there, ending in a rank 8 and 2 rank 6s.
Oh yeah. I used tonplay Tyhoone because i used Hazy flame with a Heraldric Dragons Engine. Tefnuit and the other dragon. While maintaining the Hazy core. Really cool. Not competitive enough, but Fun to play.
@@andreaderrico2969 Well... I updated it a little, its something like this. Tyhoone #2 x3 Hieratic Dragon of tefnuit x3 Hieratic Dragon Of Eset x1 Hieratic seal of Convocation x3 Celestial Observatory x 3 Goka The pyre of Malice x2 Mausoleum of the emperor x3 Flamvell Counter x3 Rekindling x 1 Monarch stormforth x1 True king Agnimazud the Vanisher x2 Monster reborn x1 Pot of Avarice x1 Hazy flame: Peryton x2 Sphinx x2 Cerberus x3 Gryphon x2 Hydra x1 Pillar x 3 Glory x2 XYZ Tribalrivals x2 ----- Hazyflame Bacilistrice x2 Hieratic Dragon king of Atum x1 Constellar Ptolemy M7 x1 Photon Strike Bounzer x1 Number 6: Chronomally Atlándis x1 Number 25: Force Focus x1 Gauntlet Launcher x 1 Gaia dragon the Thunder charger x1 Number c5:Chaos Chimera Dragon x1 Number 21:Frozen Lady justice x1 Hita the fire charmer Ablaze x1 Dolittle chimera x1 Knightmare phoenix x1 Linkuriboh x1 Side deck Hieratic Dragon of Su x3 Spirit of flames x 2 Fenghuang x2 ( i used to Main deck this card because BACKROW, but its in consideration to Add or remove accordingly.) Removal stuff Monarch stuff Its not competitive. Its TRASH TIERS PROBABLY NOT EVEN TABLE 500. But this deck used to be fun to play, this lidt i just added Link stuff tl get on with the times and Banlist tl keep the core idea. Its SUPER SLOW nowdays. There may be a way to make it faster. But this is for the most part how i used to play it. Added the true king Agnimazud. LINKS and Stuff. Some Xyzs that were not avaioable back then. Feel free to use better options if you got any ideas. My deckbuilding skills are far beyond Rusty. Mostly because i used stuff i had, and this list is an Amalgamation of things i could THINK of with help of MASTERDUEL, while still using my IRL deck as The base. Playing with the Hieratic stuff as tribute fodder always netted the Tyhoone. I used to only run 2 of the celestial observatory cause i only had 2... Some Monarch card are Super helpful. But the deck CAN be bricky enough, so...only storforth helps The deck gets like 6 cyber Dragons...and its still not enough xD. So i wont be claiming this is ALWAYS FUN. I had fun playing it because i played it against friends who played Rougue too. Id say one of the Powerhouses of the deck is the fact that Overlay Mats are not a problem, so Xyz tribalrivals is An amazing card here. Anyways. If you need some explaining. I can do a breakdown on it. Its my list. It may not be a Very good one... But its Mine.
Gyakutenno Megami was used in heralds as an advanced ritual art target (and funnily enough she would actually be better than dark witch for the monarch deck since all those conditions apply to her but she also had 300 more defense)
In ED Monarchs specifically, Dark Witch being Level 5 as opposed to Level 6 was a benefit for Dark Witch, because it could be used (usually alongside The Prime Monarch) to make Rank 5's (with Pleiades in particular being a standout option).
I got one: I played an Xyz based X-Saber deck after the release of Constellar Ptolemy M7, and I had a few penis cards in there. First was X-Saber Anu Piranha as a Rescue Rabbit target. The upshot to her was that you could use her to make Barkion, Excalibur, and Blade Armor Ninja, unlike Boggart Knight. The second penis card was Clock Resonator, which I used in place of the freshly banned Sangan as a Tour Guide target. (Tour Guide was there to make Invoker.) The main reason was that it’s EARTH, which facilitates Grandsoil. It’s also a Tuner, so it could theoretically be used to make Gottoms or something, but I didn’t use it for that.
4:29 The immediate "I need to get this random 20 year old card before each copy costs 200$" is hilarious.
and of course now on tcgplayer its $2 or $4 depending on the printing, quite possibly due to being in this video.

And I'm not joking, but that card literally won Tellarknights the 2015 World Championship in the final against Nekroz.

Kaminari Attack too. I was gonna reply to the tweet with it but it was, obviously, because of instant fusion, so no point.
Rare fish in Kragen
I was playing 3 ready fusion paired with Dragoness the wicked Knight in my Phantom Knights deck as an extender. You can also special Takentomborg if you draw it, as Dragoness is a wind type.
And those oldass fusions still saw more play than the strongest monster of 2017.
Dragoness the Wicked was cracked in Gouki Knightmare because it was level 3, warrior, and wind, so it worked with taketomborg, invoker, and isolde

1:29 MBT: Gem-knight Lapis
Gem-Knight Lazuli pops up
*Confused screaming*
Lapis Lazuli is the type of stone.
Luster Dragon, right the fuck now.
Could you explain the combo with Luster Dragon?
@@alonsoarana5307 there's no combo. it's just an out to the wind barrier statue that 60-card piles have started running in conjunction with Unexpected Dai
Great Video Idea. I'd definitely up for a part 2 if you find enough material. btw, its seriously impressive that MBT just casually knows exactly what all these cards where used for.
God, imagine how intimidated you would be if your opponent combos into The Statue of Easter Island. That person is playing the game on a completely different level.
"I enter the Scoop Phase"
Another funny one was drytron playing steam gyroid with ready fusion as a lvl 6 machine to use with meteonis or to make Beatrice with.
Yea steam gyro if got banned back in the day for being way ahead of its time with it’s innovative effects
@@CrashHeelin I see you too are duelists of culture, having perused the vintage that is the "Ancestry of the Meritless". Good to see.
Was suprised not to see Jurrac Aleo on here.
as a forgettable card from a forgettable bad deck. it quickly became the most expensive dino card shortly after the release of the dinosaur structure deck due to the fact it was the only 1 star dinosaur typer tuner in the whole game.
Able to be summoned from the deck with but a single Misc, you could go into chanbara to push for game.
Later you could go into denlong to get a search, and later on still into Halq.
No one was summoning chanbara in dino.
That deck, and aeolo in particular, is the whole reason denglong was banned.
The vod had Aeolo and a few more cards, you can check it in the vod if you want.
@@Andy_ARBS oh thank you! i sure will.
@@Andy_ARBS which vod?
@@GeneralNickles you have no idea how many games chanbara has won me in dino.
While this isn't exactly competitive, more of a niche concept.
Red-Eyes Metal Dragon, while bad, had a very niche yet good use when summoning Lord of the Red. Because of the ritual spell, it can be either used in hand or from the graveyard (after using Red-Eyes Insight) as a ritual cost to summon Lord of the Red, because of the fact that it's a Lv10 Red-Eyes Monster. Unfortunately now that Darkness Metal is back to unlimited, this niche play is basically gone unless you're afraid of banishing all 3 copies.
well, as much as it hurts to say: that errata was overdue
Not really a bad card but tellarknights at one point played swords of revealing light because you could keep bouncing it with Triverr.
Yeah, and in the 2015 World Championship they also played Rigel because it can out Nekroz Unicore. In fact I remember tyat card won a game against Nekroz in the final match to make Tellarknights the World Champion of that year.
Remember when we all started playing Neo-spacian Aqua Dolphin in Gouki extra Link in 2018? Or X-saber Palomuro in PePe format?
I have one. Did really well at a regionals with it. Back in Hand Control format (So the oldest of old school), I ran Mefist the Infernal General instead of Airknight Parshath because I viewed stripping the hand was better in a world where we had 1 Delinquent Duo, 1 Confiscation, and 2 Forceful Sentry and everyone played Cyber Jar, Fiber Jar, and often Magician of Faith.
I was not expecting to see my man Tyhone #2! He was one of my very first cards, my very first card above 4 stars, and the boss monster of my very first deck, so I have a very close and fond relationship with Tyhone #2 so seeing him being recognized in this felt amazing! Shout outs to those Hazy Flamers for being such goats for giving my man a purpose.
I lost it at the sheer psychic damage of dropping "The statue of Easter Island" lol.
I also remember the odd Shaddoll deck that was running like all DARKs and a single copy of Outstanding Dog Marron.
Pre Trick Clown Shaddolls were something else
I remember those days lmao, OG shaddoll was a different breed. People would just put in cards that they liked or thought would be occasionally good. I remember seeing a light of Lightsworn Shaddolls, since the lightsworn milling shaddolls gave you effects and the shaddoll fusion could send wulf/felis for its effect. It was so bad, but when the pieces lined up it looked borderline competent.
@@TromboneMaster95 I swear it's like folks forget all the good light monsters we already ran. My first build of Shaddolls back in the day used Collapserpent Wyverburster and Eclipse Wyvern.
I remember playing 1 Lightsworn wulf, 2 Dawn knight. Dawn knight to recycle the wulf by making it CL2 after Squamata or Hedgehog and if i drew it i'd summon it to send the wulf or make a rank 4 with the wulf i sent off of shaddoll fusion
We were on some copium with some of these early Shaddoll builds lol glad I'm not the only one.
My favorite penis card is Genex Ally Duradark. People teched it in rulers to out Ophion. It was $30 at one time, i sold all of my copies, i had so many it was enough to get a new TV.
Oh god i remember that format, was so funny watching this awful card spike in price
I still have one...
Although not super meta, Genex Ally Crusher became a center for a control deck that was just it and a pile of good dark cards.
the 0 defense of garnet mattered for some pepe builds playing masked chameleon as well
Yeeeeeessssss! I played Luster Plush Clownblade with Masked Chameleon and the Brilliant engine, and although the typical play was to Pendulum summon Chameleon, the effect was game-determinative at times with Garnet.
OMG Aqua Dolphin had the stars align on it in a major way.
Reverse powercreep got AFD banned. Go like Firewall; save our Signer Dragon.
Also there's "Garnets", cards that are bad by themselves but necessary for a big card.
aqua dolphin is just a good card , it still sees tournament play in the rogue infernoble deck
@@Marcusjnmc Was it good in the GX days with DAD running around?
@@runningoncylinders3829 why does that matter ?
@@Marcusjnmc The video this thread is on is all about cards that became good because the stars aligned for them, and they found a deck you could bring to Nats. I don't remember Aqua Dolphin being too incredible till like five years back. Iirc Grand Mole was the only Spacian worth its initial cred.
@@runningoncylinders3829 it's awful cards that are objectively bad that were good one time, dolphin has been good ever since isolde released and a warrior normal summon that ripped ash blossom became relevant, which is an objectively strong interaction, and it's remained about as good for half a decade.
Tyhone also used to see play in heiratic rulers being both a level 6 dragon and a fire for blaster
that was exactly why it was played in Hazy cause you would use 3 convocation 3 Tefnuit as a free body for tribute summons
Funniest shit was using magical hats in metalfoes. Being able to turn your spell/traps into metalfoes normal monsters and fuse them off was hilarious
HMMM!
Damn, not a single mention of Smoke Grenade
I remember the days of every single deck jamming Photon Thrasher as an extender for rank 4 strategies searchable off of ROTA.
Photon thrasher use to be a decent card tho. He's talking about cards that where never good at all.
Coming back to mention that in POTE Format, Branded Tearelement is teching in D3S Frog as a target for Branded In High Spirits, because it matches the statline required for cost, and is an Aqua which is used for some of the Tear Fusions.
There was a recent OCG instructor deck that uses Magical Hats in Unchained as a way to pop backrow on the opponent's turn, in conjunction with Z-ONE as a way to make their continuous spell actually viable. I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since they posted it.
OCG decks be wildin
idlee - the 9 star knightmare shit show effect monster, was run in Dino Chalice lists for a bit as a target for world legacy monstrosity, needing something that didn't conflict with your Fire true king - paired along side with
Get ready
Super anti-kaiju machine mecha thunder king for its monster reborn effect
Surprised at the lack of mention of Trigon. A Fire Dragon to search off of Blaster that was also a Debris target.
Book of Eclipse, back in the infancy of modern Yugioh where boards were starting to get bigger but we didn't have many good going 2nd cards.
Mystical Refpanel. Jesus christ I still have nightmares of the rulings of this card.
Shoutout to Triangle Ecstasy Spark for the fucked ruling of this card at an event (I forget which event).
Edit: I just remembered the infancy of post-banlist Dracopals. That entire deck was *FULL* of penis cards.
Edit 2: Holy shit, remember when Junk & Debris played Neo-Spacian Glow Moss?
Edit 3: IRON CHAIN DRAGON. I get PTSD attacks from milling my opponent's Mali's/Plagues with Iron Chain Dragon. It would have been SO much better if the level 6 Debris Synchro was literally just a vanilla.
Some people did mention Trigon. It just wasn't included in the video.
Book of Eclipse aged pretty well, NGL.
@Joan Aguayo Planell Eh, it's okay.
This comment was made far before Kashira's bullshittery, and at this point, it's really just there since a huge amount of other hate cards don't do much against the deck.
I think in the same vein as dark witch the ocg was experimenting with metaphys armed dragon. Because it was a light, 2800 atk/1000 def normal monster that could be added back off of lazuli and used to meet the requirements for tenacity
I never knew cards like Penis-Cimo (Pianissimo) exist. Welp times to put it on my deck for the upcoming common charity master duel events.
2 card combo with Machine Duplication? In b4 buyout
I choked on my drink when you brought up The Statue of Easter Island. Are you trying to kill me?
Other than that, this was a pretty cool history lesson in very specific tech cards. Personally, i'm playing 2 Breaker the Magic Warrior in my Impcantation deck since it gets over Secret Village. Thats, like, the one card thats the bane of my existence.
HOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah people were kinda desperate for anything back in Nekroz format. I also remember Medallion of the Ice Barrier seeing play because it was essentially a reverse Uno card whenever the opponent activated the effect of Nekroz of Trishula.
@S V yes, if they had gung in hand they were destruction immune and if they had Trish they were targeting immune
@S V the mirror was really fun but yeah playing against Nekroz with a non-Qliphort deck really sucked, especially pre-Djinn ban
Another example of a card similar to Pianissimo during the Zoodiac format was My body as a shield. i remember seeing full playsets of that card being ran at my locals to counter not only Drident but also other types of destruction effects that were popular at the time.
Well, that one was a staple during most of the GX era, so it doesn't really count.
Dark witch just looks so done with the magic business
She may be more annoyed that she cannot cast any magic, and so has to resort to using a spear
Non Aggression Area is in Master Duel, BABY!!!!!!! Gotta love that old school busted tech
Finally a tech against Scrap Crystons
I remember pushing pianissimo into everything during zoo format, it was cheaper than my body and a shield.
There were also arguments that it was better, since it protected for the rest of the turn instead of just once. It was insane if they dropped Raigeki or similar before summoning their Zoo. It also didn't destroy their card, so it was less good AGAINST Drident. Well, except for that they couldn't My Body your My Body... That format was so much fun and the tech choices were crazy.
Now do cards that were widely used but have secondary effects that nobody knows. Like Black Rose banishing plants to reduce atk or SKDSV getting piercing upon copying effects.
SKDSV giving monsters piercing has won me more than one game in MD against Crooked Cook.
@@ecreiP yeah but the first time I saw it happen I read like 4 cards before I found out where the piercing came from.
Utterly bizarre but quite welcome.
what the hell is SKDSV?
@@stupiddog321 Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom
stratos effect to destroy spell and trap cards. Macro cosmos to summon heliod from deck
Some Penis cards I recall: naturia rosewhip when striker came to tcg (super hyped), photon cerberus to deal with paleo during ABC/MF/Paleo
You NEED to make this a series. This is too funny to only be one video dedicated to this topic
Have we talked about the absolute penis cards people played in order to out Evilswarm Ophion? I remember Genex Ally Duradark being the big one, but if I remember correctly Prophecy decks were also playing Injection Fairy Lily since it was a Spellcaster (lmao) that could on its own pump itself over Ophion and kill it.
Not only was I right the deck that won the incredibly prestigious Australian WCQ ran it. Fucking hell.
i still remember Trifortressops being teched in DRuler format
Does anyone remember chivalry being sided in early kozmo format? That was really wild :D
Suprised there weren't any weird rescue cat targets like Samnite and Airbellum that just fit the level 3 beast factor and nothing else. Speaking of cats, I remember cat's ear tribe coming up when fire formation tenki was the hot new shit because you can beat over anything with it.
Yeah I remember the cats ear tribe thing, my friend would play it. I don't think it ever saw competitive success because it was just too bad, but it was still really funny.
Airbellum was a tuner that ripped cards out of your opponents hand on top of being a decent sized body in its own right. Wouldn’t exactly call it penis quality. Samnite was a searcher for glads so not all that penis quality either. You wouldn’t run the two in the same deck. I’ll give you cat’s ear tribe though that shit is lookin like straight up dick for fire fist format.
I think cat's ear tribe was an out to towers but I don't remember what decks were playing tenki then.
For playing Goat/Reaper Format, I love using 3-Hump Lacooda and Wicked Worm Beast as Rescue Cat targets. The copium play is to go Cat -> 2 Lacoodas, Last Will to summon 2nd Cat -> last Lacooda and Worm Beast. Tribute 2 Lacoodas to draw 3, and during End Phase you get the Worm Beast back in your hand before it dies to Cat’s effect.
Back in pepe format I refused to shell out for pepe so I played this sky scourge norleras turbo build I found online. You played mostly ba to mill and fill grave with dark fiends, small fluffal engine of bear wings and vendor for draws and wings being a light fairy, monster reincarnation incase you milled norleras or phantom of chaos, and lightsworn charge and shire, lightsworn spirit, a level 3 fairy. Just a penis pile.
My friend playing Kozmo got savaged at regionals by a BA player that used Doomdog Octhros to search Norleras
I'm not sure it's possible for a fucking Norleras turbo deck to not be an absolute mess
Back when rota was not limited, I played Spell striker in any deck that needed an extra body/lv3 on field. It also had the funny thing of hitting directly for game. Good times
I still remember people running X-Saber Palomuro in PePe/Magician decks because it was a level 1 earth tuner for Naturia Beast that was searchable with King of the Feral Imps.
Magical hats were also used with Geartown to get free ancient gear dragons to the field as well.
You just did my boy Kaminari Attack wrong by forgetting about him
Dark Magician = Dark
Dark Witch = Light Fairy for some reason...
It's original name was Valkyrie, why they translated that as Dark Witch? Idk
imagine this random ass 5 star normal monster enabling mischief of the time goddess, that's why
The “when the fuck are you gonna do that” to the possessed familiar effect had me dying 😂
Crazy Box was ran solely to be an easy Eradicator Epidemic Virus target in the r4 toolbox. If you were a chad, you'd use its effect first.
Machina Gadgets ran Meklord Emperor Wisel (in the side deck) to beat Fire Fists.
I’m a fan of random “engines” that saw play for like a single point in time and never again.
Stuff like symphonic warrior engine in some grass decks in 2018 or the empowered warrior engine that was mega copium around 2016ish.
symphonic warrior got played in a bunch of decks, it's a machine pendulum that gives you 2 normal summons in the link era , had at minimum regional play with abc, dinomist, majespecters & metalfoes + inevitably others
@@Marcusjnmc that and a lvl 5 machine for Infinity or synchro plays.
Not really a penis card, since it is really good in most circumstances.
Almost like the predaplant engine
I remember my first ever set of yugioh cards that I only cracked open and really looked at in like 2009 (the actual cards were from like 2004 or something) had the statue of easter island in it. Also had three monster reborns for some reason
Dark Witch was one of the best monsters in Falsebound Kingdom. Fast, ridiculous attack growth, Spirit type, ect.
I would love to see a proper video series that goes in depth for all these kinds of cards.
Tells us WHY Tyhone 2 was both hilarious and correct for Hazy Flames
oh I can answer that!
Hazy Flame played heiratic convocation and tefnuit as a free body to tribute going second, so it would give you a level 6 fire monster for the basiltrice, as well as whatever you'd get off the sphynx/peryton
@@ErroneousNickname I know, I was the one on Twitter to post Tyhone 2. I just think the explanation would have improved the video.
lmao when you ask a simple question on twitter and it accidentally becomes a ygo history lesson 100 times better than all those vids megacapG has ever done
Shoutout to Multi-Piece Golem and Big Piece Golem for allowing to setup Dark Gaia plays via Prisma.
No smoke grenade of the thief?
Ok
I wouldn't say Smoke Grenade is a bad card. It's broken in Infernoble Knights, meanwhile most of the cards in this video only saw play due to extremely niche cases and a lack of better cards.
It's a niche card for infernoble and dragon link
It doesn't mix on any deck, rather becomes a hindrance
I mean it also had its moment in 2005 with Gearfried
Surprised nobody mentioned X-Saber Palomuro; played for the specific, lone purpose of "He was a level 1 EARTH Reptile Tuner". You'd search for and summon Palomuro with King Of The Feral Imps, summon Hat Tricker (or some other EARTH, he was just easiest), then make Naturia Beast on your opening turn
m e m e s
Galaxy Serpent was played in Dragon Link with the Draconnet engine as a way to get full guardragon combo and Ib the World Chalice Justiciar back in 2019. It also had a very advantageous attribute for Collapserpent specifically
MBT can I please join the Rothschild family?
buddy they didnt even let ME in
Their is also jurrac aolo it was a lv 1 dino tuner for miscell for denglong or later on ib was like 4$ for a garbo lv 1 effect monster tuner thats only effect was to git rid of it self to summon another garbage monster because it never got reprinted
$4? I bought mine for nearly $20!
Then after some time, Kabalsaurus became better than Saversaurus because Bahamut Shark and Toadally Awesome became a thing, so the WATER attribute became more significant than the 200 extra ATK, and when the 2000 ATK WATER vanilla dinosaur came out, it was Saversaurus that got the boot in favor of all WATER so you could always choose between Dolkka/Laggia/Bahamut.
And funnily enough, now Sabersaurus will become a penis card, since it's technically the best normal Dino you can play with the Transcendrake fusion, because it's Earth and thus a target for Lithosagym in a pinch.
I'm just imagining using Magical Hats to put 2 Waking The Dragons on board and have them destroyed by battle just to float into Ultimate Falcon and something else broken.
Thanks for the idea
@@Honest-King waking only works by effect destruction
@@DaKrimch chain it to a mirror force
I loved that month we side decked neo spacian dolphin while trying to figure out how to deal with full power Drytron.
I think Soul of Purity and Light used to be great in general, just a nice extra bonus for light themed decks to throw down or for the high level synchrons.
I remember back in the day running Magical Hats in Harpies just to get Hysteric Sign to the graveyard. You also ran cards like Breakthrough Skill and Skill Prisoner along with it, just so you have other stuff that does something in the grave.
I remember running Grisaille Prison in Gem Knights which was a trap that locked both players out of Synchro/Xyz summons until your next turn if you controlled a tribute, ritual or fusion summoned monster. Swords at Dawn in Noble Knights and most of all Sanguine Swamp in Lightsworns from an old JP list
That was truly the dark ages for Harpie decks
Literally every piece of pack filler bullshit you could get your hands on in the infantile stages of dragon link.
Garnet was the gem-knight of choice because he had 0 def and thus was a target for Masked Chameleon
I played Giga Gagagigo in my MD Umi Control deck because it was a summon I could get off of fish sonar. It's also the best target for Sea Stealth Attack so I could keep the floodgate/negate live after a harpie's feather duster
Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin becoming a staple because Gouki players decided handlooping you for 4 wasn't enough
Nah, Aqua dolphin was hand trap insurance. It hand loops but it specifically hand loops interruption, which is way better.
@@Andy_ARBS it hand looped cards that could stop handloops.
Back when brother and I just had the starter decks, Anatsu was one of my best cards because nothing in the Kaiba deck could stop it without a tribute.
Little Chimera for Rescue Cat variant Baseball Cat. It's hilarious
In master duel, I run the illusory gentleman because he is summonable by unexpected Dai, ebon illusion magician, and magician's navigation, he can be tributed for illusion magic, he can fuse into the dark magicians, and he can link into imduk (who can be fused into dark magician the dragon knight).
Great analysis video! I always love seeing bad cards put to good use in such innovative ways like this! Looking forward to more content like this! Thanks for uploading!
My favorite was when I was one misplay from topping a regional with hieratics playing dragonic tactics.
Tribute 2 dragons to summon a level 8 dragon from the deck.
So you special 2 hieratics for free (going 2nd), then use tactics to tribute both and summon a blue-eyes from the deck, and trigger both hieratic effects to get 2 more dragon normals. Usually 2 labradorites. Then proceed to combo off from there, ending in a rank 8 and 2 rank 6s.
hearing Joseph say "Penis cards" at the beginning is a daily ritual for me. that shit is funny as hell
Oh yeah.
I used tonplay Tyhoone because i used Hazy flame with a Heraldric Dragons Engine.
Tefnuit and the other dragon.
While maintaining the Hazy core.

Removal stuff
Monarch stuff
Its not competitive.
Its TRASH TIERS
PROBABLY NOT EVEN TABLE 500.
But this deck used to be fun to play, this lidt i just added Link stuff tl get on with the times and Banlist tl keep the core idea.
Its SUPER SLOW nowdays.
There may be a way to make it faster.
But this is for the most part how i used to play it.
Added the true king Agnimazud.
LINKS and Stuff.
Some Xyzs that were not avaioable back then.
Feel free to use better options if you got any ideas.
My deckbuilding skills are far beyond Rusty.
Mostly because i used stuff i had, and this list is an Amalgamation of things i could THINK of with help of MASTERDUEL, while still using my IRL deck as The base.
Playing with the Hieratic stuff as tribute fodder always netted the Tyhoone.
I used to only run 2 of the celestial observatory cause i only had 2...
Some Monarch card are Super helpful.
But the deck CAN be bricky enough, so...only storforth helps
The deck gets like 6 cyber Dragons...and its still not enough xD.
So i wont be claiming this is ALWAYS FUN.
I had fun playing it because i played it against friends who played Rougue too.
Id say one of the Powerhouses of the deck is the fact that Overlay Mats are not a problem, so Xyz tribalrivals is An amazing card here.
Anyways.
If you need some explaining.
I can do a breakdown on it.
Its my list.
It may not be a Very good one... But its Mine.
@@NyaaPaw44 thanks bruh, I will try this on edopro👍🏻😉
Gyakutenno Megami was used in heralds as an advanced ritual art target (and funnily enough she would actually be better than dark witch for the monarch deck since all those conditions apply to her but she also had 300 more defense)
In ED Monarchs specifically, Dark Witch being Level 5 as opposed to Level 6 was a benefit for Dark Witch, because it could be used (usually alongside The Prime Monarch) to make Rank 5's (with Pleiades in particular being a standout option).
I got one: I played an Xyz based X-Saber deck after the release of Constellar Ptolemy M7, and I had a few penis cards in there. First was X-Saber Anu Piranha as a Rescue Rabbit target. The upshot to her was that you could use her to make Barkion, Excalibur, and Blade Armor Ninja, unlike Boggart Knight. The second penis card was Clock Resonator, which I used in place of the freshly banned Sangan as a Tour Guide target. (Tour Guide was there to make Invoker.) The main reason was that it’s EARTH, which facilitates Grandsoil. It’s also a Tuner, so it could theoretically be used to make Gottoms or something, but I didn’t use it for that.
4:35 literally ordered the first playset i found after hearing "oh this is cracked in labrynth isn't it"
There are also a variety of bad normal dragons, that have seen play in Hieratic.
Well well well, time to buy a playset of Non-Aggression Area.
Prohibit snake kinda looks like a long imposter
I started playing the game in 2023 and have effectively learned all the knowledge I have for the history of this game through rewatching this series
