It should be noted that Starlight Road is a "when" trigger on a spell speed 2 card, and can miss timing by getting chain-blocked or etc. Compare this with Kanzashi the Rikka Queen, who has an "if" protection effect for plant monsters that is infinitely better because of the "if" trigger. As someone who've played Starlight Road extensively, I still find Boo-Boo Game to be overall better in my Traptrix deck -- especially with Trap Trick in the deck. I think TheHiruLogs should be more careful to point this out in the script (in which he said "if") in the future. Great video overall tho. 8 thumbs up. Also, shout-out to Anti-Spell Fragrance for protecting back-row one turn against common (and very powerful) spell-based back-row clears.
Also THRIO has the advantage that you don't need 2 cards to be at risk to activate such as the opponent using Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, or Black Rose when they also have a card at risk. It can even stop many Igknight effects.
From what I understand, counter traps that say "When your opponent does X" miss timing for cards that say "Do X, then do Y". For example a counter trap whose activation condition says "When your opponent draws a card:" would NOT work on Upstart Goblin which says "Draw 1 card, then your opponent gains 1000 LP"
Honorable mention I wanna give to back row protectors that are in archetype, The Weather Painter Aurora is one of the best in-archetype protectors in the game just saying “nah” to almost any form of backrow removal. Madolche Sistart basically protects all the important spells that Madolche has by simply pointing to a Madolche monster
I kind of agree with this.. Just got chance fight with weather painter on some matchmaking, Its really annoying.. Literally completly, when finally can destroy it but can reuse the resource, floodgate the opponent, and just cant make any play.. Everytime i meet them, im done with the game.. 🤣🤣 At first i kind of curious with what they can done, but when they finish what they need, it literally locked you from play, like when parent not allowed they child to play.. 🤣🤣
They just released Dawn of Majesty cards in MD a week ago so it will probably take 2 months for Lord to be released since it came with Burst of Destiny.
@@tespenkr9924 And you can resummon it with Eternal Soul once per turn, which also gives it the unaffected by card effects status. So even if it does get destroyed by battle, you can bring it back right away to continue to protect your back row.
Let me make a correction to 11:35 If you negate the 'activation' of Spell/Trap which says "You can only activate 1 per turn" You can activate it again if you have another copy. However, if the activation is not negated, say only its effect is negated, such as Imperial Order or Hot Red Dragon Archfiend. Then you cannot Lightning Again. However, Spell/Trap or monster which says "You can only use each effect once per turn" You cannot activate again, regardless. For example, Solemn Judgment on Thunder Dragon Fusion prevents activation of second copy for the rest of this turn. Hope that helps.
@@hikaritsumi2123 it’s just all about the wording of a card. Negate activation vs negate effect. Can activate once per turn vs can only be used once per turn.
@@michaelwang3439 I negated the effect of "Splash mage" with Ghostbelle and it can still be activated later so I'm digging into this ruling. If what you said is true then I'm understanding things correct.
An interesting ruling regarding Huge Revolution and Starlight Road is that they don’t meet their activation requirements when your opponent activates Sky Striker Maneuver Afterburners with 3 spells in grave.
@@carldimayuga6419 that’s not the reason it doesn’t work. The problem is that the effect to get the additional destruction is OPTIONAL. Starlight Road and The Huge Revolution is Over can only negate an effect that is GUARANTEED to destroy 2+ cards, not necessarily at the same time
@@carldimayuga6419 it's not the problem the card destroy 2 cards separated,it has the "When" instead of "If" so it missed the timing if the effect is optional
That's weird because Ash Blossom works on cards that optionally special summon from the deck even if you have no intention to do so. Kind of like how you can Solemn Warning your opponents Macro Cosmos even if they don't have Helios in the deck
@@williamdrum9899 probally it doesn't have the optional effect but it basically asked you to have it's condition which is "when this card resolves" first then "ss Helios on hand or deck" and Ash chained the "condition" first which negate the special summon effect but MC banish any card when send to GU effect still stay It is reason why something like active stratos effect to search any Hero on your hand and Opponent chained Ash which negate the condition so you don't get to choose Hero that you needed
Niche honorable mention: judgment of Anubis. It requires a discard, and can only activate against spells, but is a counter trap and can pop a monster afterwards + some burn damage. It is niche, but also just a rare in master duel
Judgement of Anubis has always had a special place in my heart, especially when Heavy Storm became legal after the first time it was banned in the Synchro era. I know it's a bit too specific to be competitive but it's always super satisfying when you can successfully activate it.
Dark Sacrifice is good protection too, as it allows you to gain good advantage if you send 'Absolute King Back Jack' from your deck, providing you more backrow and possibly a better draw on your next turn
6:52 The Sanctum of Parsath specifically protects ALL set cards. Not just your own , but you opponent's as well The card also combos VERY WELL with Darklords, not only givin them that extra 300 atk/def , but also by letting you consistently recycle Ixchel, Indulged and Morningstar
Did you know that if you only have 1 life points and you use solemn judgement pay half your life points You don't actually pay anything as your life points get half to 1/2 of a life point and you then have to round up as in Yu-Gi-Oh you can only use whole numbers as life points and rules says you round up. So basically if you have 1 life point you can activate solemn judgement for free
All of the abyss actor spell cards would fall into the category of the protection just being the threat of their opponent benefiting from the card being destroyed
Yeah plus they can just make you pop the backrow as well if they want to in duel links I would run the mana dragon zirintron just to stop cosmic cyclones and recover treacherous trap hole if I felt like it
I was disappointed to see timidity not on the list considering it's a normal spell card that prevent your back rows from being destroyed for two including your opponent's turn
I love Dark Bribe and always felt like it was super slept on. I used to max it in Rock Stun in 2009 over Solemn Judgment. Since we were a Royal Oppression deck and that card was already so good at shutting down the format, the cards we cared about negating the most were stuff like Heavy Storm and Icarus Attack to protect Oppression. Plus letting them draw for negating their Heavy Storm didn't really hurt us since that meant whatever they were drawing wasn't an out to Oppression.
I personally really like Defense Zone. Especially in decks that don't really need their field spell zone for anything, it's a free slot in for backrow protection without taking field space.
Imo I think huge revolution is over has a small edge over starlight road particularly in the current meta because afaik as it counts the destruction of 2 or more cards on the field as a whole and then banishes it can be a niche counter to DPE
@@Sir_X_ however herald drytron literally don't run lightning storm lol they run a blind first deck, they don't even run stuff like evenly or droplets for the most part lol. if you went first and skill drained them chances are they will scoop
11:35 Even though lightning storm has a hard once per turn on its activation, wouldn't you still be able to use a second copy in the same turn even if the first one got negated by dark bribe? Since dark bribe negates the activation and not the effect?
From my personal experience playing backrow/control decks I honestly like dark bribe and huge revolution more over judgement. People always pretend halving your life points more than once is no big deal till your life points are just low enough for your opponent to end you via battle damage or some gimmicky effect damage.
That’s why you take advantage of the negate and win. Adding more fluff to your deck is more harmful, instead of drawing a game ender, you drew another counter to give your opponent one more turn, and in Dark Bribe’s case, another resource. Just one Imperial Order has canceled many back row destructions, and I’ve won with 200-300 lp’s left from the maintenance cost of that trap.
@@motodog242 Modern backrow removal today usually consists of harpie's feather duster, lightning storm, and twin twisters. All of which can immediately trigger huge revolution without having to halve your life points. If you know your foe is coming at you with these cards back to back in game two and you can pick 3 copies of the same counter trap to protect yourself just a free negate and banish will always sound better to me over halving your life points potentially 3 times. The card can also negate monster effects that destroy too unlike judgement which is a crucial ability in the modern era.
tbh honest solemn card being a UR is overrated. u need 6 card (judgment and strike) in your deck to really protect your backrow, and it destroys (many card immune to destory), not to mention the LP cost.
Top 10 ideas: Top 10 pointless limits/bans - like how Eva was limited when decks were only playing one copy anyway, or how Chick the Yellow got hit at the same time as Makyura. Top 10 Worst cards that special summon specific monsters - cards like Dark Flare Knight (brings Mirage Knight), Knight's Title (brings Dark Magician Knight), Red-Eyes B. Chick (brings Red-eyes B. Dragon but only from hand), Trial of the Princesses (brings one of two princesses, with an awful requirement), etc etc. Top 10 cards that go -1. A lot of categories fit in here. Burn cards like Magical Explosion, mill cards like Foolish Burial / Grass (the right mills can go +, but in a vacuum it does nothing), non-destroying negates like Infinite Impermanence, cards that need an extra cost like Karma Cut or Monster Gate, cards that cycle through the deck like Card Destruction or Dragged Down into the Grave, tribute engines like Mass Driver, cards that only change the board positions like Book of Moon or Quaking Mirror Force, etc etc
Temple of the Kings makes Lord of the Heavenly Prison absolutely busted. You can activate ANY trap card the turn it's set. I'm sure these two cards will elevate the new Labrynth Archetype into a Tier 1 deck once it comes to TCG.
4:13 don't forget borrelsword dragon. Its effect to gain attack still works, even if the effect to drop attack doesn't, as it affects itself, not ultimate falcon
@@xCorvus7x Which is pretty much everything relevant in the game. The chances of you coming across anything you can’t beat over is practically nonexistent.
@@arrownoir except avramax will beat borrelsword in a battle every single time, although Borrelsword doesn’t get destroy but it won’t be able to beat over avramax
Deskbot 008 is such an underrated card. It protects your deskbot card from any effect that targets except itself, yes even your deskbot monster, spell and trap.
I also play traptrix in master duel and with so many omni-negate monster boards its funny how the card that more consistently saves my backrow from being negated/destroyed is actually Solemn Strike.
I have some list suggestions of you don't mind: Top 10 fusion support cards. Top 10 generic pendulum cards. Top 10 "trap" cards. (Cards that seem good at first glance but aren't really that good. Top 10 parody cards. Top 10 cards based on other Konami games. Top 10 special conditions in the games. More Rescue Rabbit, please.
Honorable mention to sea stealth attack, as long as you can banish a water monster, which ssa lets you banish them, you can protect your face up spell or traps. Sadly it’s just face up but most cards used in water decks are face up. Like umi and it’s forms, ssa, sea stealth 2, tornado wall. Can also be good with gravity bind or area limit lv b and legendary ocean with lv 4 now lv 3 water monsters. And many others. Now it’s only good in water decks and they aren’t meta currently, (but could be again depending on what comes off the ban list) Considering 1/2 of this list doesn’t actually protect anything and this is very strong protection for its archetype thought it at least deserved a honorable mention.
Dark Magician the Dragon Knight might bear mentioning. It protects your back row and in a proper DM deck using eternal soul, it basically makes your entire field immune to effect destruction
List idea: Best cards that can negate spell speed 4 effects. It's just a weird interesting thing some cards can do in weird ways, generally if they're already established. Like Fabled Unicore, Ms. Judge, and Cerulean Skyfire.
I can imagine Varis and Spectre randomly playing starlight road. Varis plays random old traps like mirror force and magical cylinder, as well as the starlight road built in one of his duels vs Yusaku, also stardust DRAGON. Spectre though? Its protection for the trees
What about Dark Magician the Dragon Knight? Here's what it says from the Wiki: ""Dark Magician" + 1 Dragon monster This card's name becomes "Dark Magician" while on the field or in the GY. Your opponent cannot target Spells/Traps you control with card effects, also they cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects." Also, it doesn't say it can't be special summoned only by Polymerzation, so it could be cheated out of the extra deck with "Waking the Dragon".
it depends on your opponent to trigger waking, and by that time, you probably already lost some of your precious backrow. Also that monster only has 3k atk, pretty easy to get rid of, especially when they've already nuked your backrow. Then in next game when opponent already knew you have waking, they'll plan for it making it even harder to cheat out.
Yo I just realized when you were explaining Artifact Sanctum, if your opponent has an empty field, that would allow them to use lightning storm going second, then you wouldn't have a target to destroy with Sanctum's floating "punishment" effect.
How's Konami creating a broke card like Lord of the heavenly prison. A straight your back row can't be destroyed, and searches ANY spell/trap from the deck.
starlight road is worse than huge revolution is over. not because HRIO is a counter trap, but because it includes your opponents cards in the '2 or more would be destroyed' effect. this makes it useful against cards like destroy phoenix enforcer and even banishes it, stopping it from floating.
Lord of the Heavenly Prison is one of these cards wich has a very weird artwork. It's really hard to tell what is really going on in that artwork and how the actual monster really looks like. :D
A card getting an effect when it's destroyed by your opponent is not protection for your back row being destroyed, the rest of your cards still get destroyed and it's likely the rest of them don't get an effect when destroyed
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is easily far & away the best Waking the Dragon target. If it was available to TCG during when TheDuelLogs made his video about Waking the Dragon, I'm sure Dragoon would've been above Ultimate Falcon.
Ehhh. Depends. It's versatile for sure and fits almost every situation, but for almost every one of those situations there's a better card, like last warrior if they lightning stormed you and play a combo deck. Dragoon is the one card that just works pretty well in any scenario though (surprise surprise, omni negate on an untargetable undestroyable body that gets a pop with burn every turn), so I get the appeal.
Another card to consider would be White Dragon Ninja whose effect is that Spells/Traps you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. The downside being that it cannot be special summoned expect with a "Ninjitsu Art" card's effect. If you can get around this downside and combo it with Safe Zone you end up with an indestructible monster and backrow, that can only be got around by non-targeting card effects like Skill Drain.
So the first four spots on this list are there to disincentivize your opponent from destroying your back row, while the remaining ones are actual protection. It's probably a good idea to use both though, because by protecting it, you're effectively telling your opponent "Hey! I have some valuable back row that I want to use!" Imagine they use a lot of resources to bring out Accesscode Talker to start blasting back row, only for it to be stolen by something like Gigaclops after sniping Waking the Dragon.
@@MsMiDC Well yeah lol, and there's only like a 3% chance of opening two of a 3of. Justt pointing out bc he brought upp the hard once per turn on LS talking about Dark Bribe. And ik Solemn Judgment bc I got to do that to somebody on Master Duel last night, coincidentally 😂

I'd mention the Blue-Eye Jet Dragon package, which is 1 Jet, 1 BEWD, and 2-3 Dragon Shrine if you have something to proc Jet reliably, which might be really easy. Using Shrine will dump both BEWD and Jet to GY, bonus point if you're using dragon monsters that can benefit from other copies of Shrine, then you just need any card on the field to be destroyed to get Jet out once every single turn and protect all other cards from destruction. Jet also has battle protection on itself by being able to bounce any card at begin of the damage step, which is often the card that is about to kill it. The only drawback is of course the BEWD brick but it's not too terrible if you have cards that discard for cost.
Suggestion for a video: Top 10 specific fusion materials. For example Relinquished, because has a strong effect and uses the opponent's monster to go into Millennium Eyes Restrict, or Fallen of Albaz, since it gives access to a board full of fusions, or Dark Magician due to its insane support
As a Phantasm Spiral MD player, I am mad that you didn't include Sea Stealth Attack. That card is a good backrow protector, though you have to play Water Deck. But should be included because it does what the title said - to protect backrow
Realistically speaking, it's hard for me to protect my backrow as a True Draco player, mostly because I don't mind if you destroy my True Draco/King stuff. Just means your stuff gets popped too. My big problem is when I have spent a good 5 minutes going through my plays to get a full backrow, that doesn't include Judgement, and the first thing they do is Lightning Storm/Feather Duster. it makes me so sad.😢

Incorrect ruling on Lightning Storm. Lightning Storm reads that you can only activate one per turn. Dark Bribe negates the activation. With the activation negated, you can activate another Lightning Storm since the effect was never really activated. If Lightning Storm read that you can only use this effect once per turn, then you wouldn't be able to activate it again because you already used the effect. But if your opponent negates Lightning Storm with Hope Harbinger, then they wouldn't be able to activate another one since Hope Harbinger negates the effect and not the activation. Love you videos.
Oh no, you made a blunder there. Dark Bribe nengates activations. Lightning storm has a limit on its activations. So if you dark bribe lightning storm, and they draw into another one, they can go ahead and activate it. Please amend this somewhere, it'd be a big thing.
Hey you say that if you have any questions about backroll protection please man I've been trying to get ahold of you cuz I need to know about a lot of cards please if you see this message please can you respond to me I have an idea of a deck
the huge revolution is over also banishes monsters that would destroy 2 or more cards (DPE being a huge target as banishing DPE means it can’t come back)
PLEASE DEAR GOD DON'T GIVE ELDLICH FLOODGATE PLAYERS MORE IDEAS. Also jesus tapdancing Christ, who at Konami looked at Lord of the Heavenly Prison's effect and was like "this is fine." Who thought "Lets make a Left Arm Offering but it has absolutely no downsides and can also search any trap"?

Wait, suppose I'm playing any kind of Fairy deck (say 3/4 of my main deck are fairies, I have a boss main deck fairy, and my extra deck has good syncrho monsters including a fairy), is Sanctum of the Parshath good backrow protection? As a continuous spell card, it is vulnerable to Lighting Storm and MST clones. It seems to me that Boo-Boo Game would be better and since I usually don't run mono type decks even if I'm heavy on a type, putting in Mana Dragon Zirnitron and Starlight Road are also better. Like wouldn't a Lightning Storm just blow up Sanctuary, then since it's no longer on the field all my set traps are gone?
yo bro , u had an pretty common error , if u negate Lightning with dark bribe , u can activate another lightning cause bribe negate the activation and Lightning says u can ACTIVATE 1 per turn if lightning said U CAN USE then u cant activate another one . USE AND ACTIVATE ARE NOT THE SAME .
Thanks, I'm making a true Trap Monster Deck and I need everything I can get and then some. There's an xyz Number 66: Master Key Beetle who is also a pretty solid option. For just one xyz material it can protect any other card you control, facedown or not, for as long as N66 is kept on the field. So this card can protect your most important backrow cards or even other protection. on the field as soon as turn 1, still protects them even after they activate, and only takes up a slot in your Extra Deck. But keep in mind N66 requires two Dark Level 4's, it has a lousy excuse for self protection, it can't target itself and it's effect is not a quick effect. There's also Card Guard, who is pretty much a one-use Master Key Beetle when Summoned that can protect even after it leaves the field, and is not a hopt. If you can find ways to reuse a Level 4 Dark Fiend consistently it will be well worth your trouble, and it can be used as material for N66. Most Stardust Synchros are great backrow support for decks that can Synchro Summon. It's tricky but if you do choose to go down this route the ultimate option is probably Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon who is about as heavy duty protection as you can get. Shooting Majestic Star Dragon is also a great option.
I know “top archetypes” isn’t something you wanna do but there’s a few super tiny archetypes. Mokey Mokey is 3 cards (soon to be 4), Shogi is 3 cards, Battleguard is 2? I wonder if any cards reference support they don’t have yet (like wind kinda effigy used to)
Top 10 idea : - Top 10 card that could be broken in better archtype /// Top 10 strong cards in weak archetype The two are the same, it's the way to say it. It would to show cards that could be broken if they were in a better archtype that they are. Example : "Magical Musketeers Max" when it's summoned (very easy to summon) you can potently getting a +3/4 in card avantages but that's in the Musketeers archetype so that's not super broken Or maybe "Weather painter rainbow" that can turn max 3 of your weather monster in omni negates that come back every turn but weather are weak etc...
Video Idea: Top 10 Pendulum Archetypes that have seen most play. Possibly Top 10 currently strongest Pendulum archetypes (which isn't saying much and is somewhat subjective, but still)
This list is VERY WACK. Waking the Dragon and Artifacts near the bottom next to ,,BooBoogame?" That has never seen play in any deck outside of janky recess builds by that weird kid that lives next door.

HEY HIRU! apologies for the caps but i wanted you to knew it was a huge surprise coming from seeing your wow videos and then clicking on a random yugioh video about banned cards (previous video i watched before this one) and hearing your voice! I play mtg but ive never really played yugioh or watched a video on it but somehow your beautiful voice founds its way
You really forgot the Field Spell "Defense Zone". I could totaly see this Card on Number 8 or 7 on a list like this. And because its a field spell you can even search it with classic Terraforming or Metaverse.
Here's my Question. What about protecting the face up cards. Field barrier for example protect a face up field spell. This list was protection on set back row. What about face up cards? I play gravekeeper's. The deck basically runs with cards being face up on the field. Let me explain this better. Gravekeeper's has face up continuous traps and spells but is weak by relying on a field spell card and has no protection at all. I need to protect my back row so I may prevent my opponent from special summon and lock down their graveyard and prevent effects in their graveyard.
This is the worst title you have ever made so far, this is even MISLEADING, the title should have been something alike, top 10 best cards to use as a bait or protect for your backrow something alike. Or just make two different videos for the two different ideas that you have in this mixed in one.
Gonna keep asking until I get my request filled. Top 10 cards that are permanently treated as a different named card, like Marine Dolphin, Cyber Harpy Lady and Fusion Substitute
Not gonna lie, i was disappointed that you didn't include huggin and the myserune cards. Basically every mysterune spell will protect your entire backrow chaining to the destruction eff summoning huggin, and can be used in other ways (search, destroy etc...)
Dark bribe is more of a general protection/utility card than back row protection as it can negate or change effects like drawing or searching via spell and traps for example hit reinforcement of the army, the search for a warrior monster becomes a draw 1 card under dark bribe, pot of greed gets halved, polymerization becomes draw 1 card instead of a fusion summon and quick play spells become draw 1 card effects instead of their regular useful utility. Allowing the opponent to draw more cards is NEVER really a good idea but can be preferable to effects that can let them outright win the game as drawing a random card mid combo can disrupt the Combo.
Well how about looking at top 10 best anti cards cards meant to counter either certain type or attributed like for example Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman (who I think should make the list) who gain 1000 attack for every Dragon monster your opponent has on their field or in their graveyard switches them to defense mode while also have the ability to do piercing damage and on top all that it makes so your opponents dragons can't activated their effects the only draw back is it can't attack directly but given everything it has going for it and that a lot most powerful boss monster's are dragon and that Dragon type is more common types to get new cards added to them makes Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman a great anti card
I think Galaxy cyclone is the best spell card to remove traps. Sure they can still activate, but if you have 3 galaxy cyclone and 3 night beam not many traps or spells are going to feature in your opponent’s plays. I knoe there are better options. But night beam is great if you know or can guess what the trap is.
another distinction between The Huge Revolution is Over and Starlight Road, is that THRiO can be activated when ANY 2 cards ANYWHERE on the field would be destroyed, making it more versatile, while Starlight Road can only be used if 2 of YOUR cards you control would be destroyed.
A lot of cards that destroy both one of your card and one of your opponent tend to do so in two steps, so it won't proc. An exception would be board wipes like dark hole, which probably will destroy 2 of your monsters anyways. Still, it's a nice niche edge.
Still waiting on the video: "Top 10 ways to cheat out extra deck monsters." The only video on your channel that is close to that is top 10 extra deck targets to cheat out. Big difference.
The amount of games I won with counter-fairy while having 2000lp or less, they are always so close, but never with a monster capable of winning the duel.
What do you mean by “properly”? Stardust doesn’t have that in it’s effect. I thought it was Only that if it’s effect was negated it can’t be brought back that way.
Honorable mention to Barricade Borgblocker. He only protects your face up continuous spells and field spell, but he can also add a continuous/field spell back to your hand. He’s also generic.
It should be noted that Starlight Road is a "when" trigger on a spell speed 2 card, and can miss timing by getting chain-blocked or etc. Compare this with Kanzashi the Rikka Queen, who has an "if" protection effect for plant monsters that is infinitely better because of the "if" trigger. As someone who've played Starlight Road extensively, I still find Boo-Boo Game to be overall better in my Traptrix deck -- especially with Trap Trick in the deck. I think TheHiruLogs should be more careful to point this out in the script (in which he said "if") in the future. Great video overall tho. 8 thumbs up. Also, shout-out to Anti-Spell Fragrance for protecting back-row one turn against common (and very powerful) spell-based back-row clears.
Also THRIO has the advantage that you don't need 2 cards to be at risk to activate such as the opponent using Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, or Black Rose when they also have a card at risk. It can even stop many Igknight effects.
@@motxmod I agree with you there. I thought Starlight Road being higher was kinda iffy too.
I juggled both in my Watt deck back in the 5D's era. THRIO tended to be better but Starlight was nice for the beater.
From what I understand, counter traps that say "When your opponent does X" miss timing for cards that say "Do X, then do Y". For example a counter trap whose activation condition says "When your opponent draws a card:" would NOT work on Upstart Goblin which says "Draw 1 card, then your opponent gains 1000 LP"
You could say that but nobody ever has a follow up to destruction it's just destroy or bate a negate and return to open gamestate
Traps getting activated when they're destroyed always felt close to how the anime had them
Honorable mention I wanna give to back row protectors that are in archetype, The Weather Painter Aurora is one of the best in-archetype protectors in the game just saying “nah” to almost any form of backrow removal. Madolche Sistart basically protects all the important spells that Madolche has by simply pointing to a Madolche monster
I kind of agree with this.. Just got chance fight with weather painter on some matchmaking, Its really annoying.. Literally completly, when finally can destroy it but can reuse the resource, floodgate the opponent, and just cant make any play.. Everytime i meet them, im done with the game.. 🤣🤣
At first i kind of curious with what they can done, but when they finish what they need, it literally locked you from play, like when parent not allowed they child to play.. 🤣🤣
Prime material falcon, an oldie but a goodie(for this specific list)
Mmm I feel that Aromage need a similar effect as Sistart...
Lots of good cards to protect set cards.. But not much for faceup stuff.
Lord of the Heavenly Prison is on my shortlist as soon as it gets added to Master Duel. That card is amazing.
They just released Dawn of Majesty cards in MD a week ago so it will probably take 2 months for Lord to be released since it came with Burst of Destiny.
Oh no, Eldrich becoming even more annoying with those set cards

With Timaeus, Dragon of Destiny, you can get Dragon Knight on the field very easily.
@@tespenkr9924 And you can resummon it with Eternal Soul once per turn, which also gives it the unaffected by card effects status. So even if it does get destroyed by battle, you can bring it back right away to continue to protect your back row.

Yeah, I’m surprised he didn’t mention it.
@@MikeCobweb I'm not. It's not even used in DM decks.
Let me make a correction to 11:35
If you negate the 'activation' of Spell/Trap which says "You can only activate 1 per turn"
You can activate it again if you have another copy.
However, if the activation is not negated, say only its effect is negated, such as Imperial Order or Hot Red Dragon Archfiend.
Then you cannot Lightning Again.
However, Spell/Trap or monster which says "You can only use each effect once per turn"
You cannot activate again, regardless.
For example, Solemn Judgment on Thunder Dragon Fusion prevents activation of second copy for the rest of this turn.
Hope that helps.
Exactly
I was confused about this ruling too, since this also applies to monster card.
@@hikaritsumi2123 it’s just all about the wording of a card. Negate activation vs negate effect. Can activate once per turn vs can only be used once per turn.
@@michaelwang3439 I negated the effect of "Splash mage" with Ghostbelle and it can still be activated later so I'm digging into this ruling. If what you said is true then I'm understanding things correct.
@@hikaritsumi2123 yeah for some reason ghost belle is the only ghost girl hand traps that negates activation instead of effect.
An interesting ruling regarding Huge Revolution and Starlight Road is that they don’t meet their activation requirements when your opponent activates Sky Striker Maneuver Afterburners with 3 spells in grave.
Well... Yeah. Afterburners destroys two separate times, not two at once
@@carldimayuga6419 that’s not the reason it doesn’t work. The problem is that the effect to get the additional destruction is OPTIONAL. Starlight Road and The Huge Revolution is Over can only negate an effect that is GUARANTEED to destroy 2+ cards, not necessarily at the same time
@@carldimayuga6419 it's not the problem the card destroy 2 cards separated,it has the "When" instead of "If" so it missed the timing if the effect is optional
That's weird because Ash Blossom works on cards that optionally special summon from the deck even if you have no intention to do so. Kind of like how you can Solemn Warning your opponents Macro Cosmos even if they don't have Helios in the deck
@@williamdrum9899 probally it doesn't have the optional effect but it basically asked you to have it's condition which is "when this card resolves" first then "ss Helios on hand or deck" and Ash chained the "condition" first which negate the special summon effect but MC banish any card when send to GU effect still stay
It is reason why something like active stratos effect to search any Hero on your hand and Opponent chained Ash which negate the condition so you don't get to choose Hero that you needed
Niche honorable mention: judgment of Anubis. It requires a discard, and can only activate against spells, but is a counter trap and can pop a monster afterwards + some burn damage. It is niche, but also just a rare in master duel
thx, i might add it to my trap monster deck
I play it in goat.
It's too specific
@@kameronmattox7650 you have a trap monster deck ? I haven't ran into anyone but me using one

Judgement of Anubis has always had a special place in my heart, especially when Heavy Storm became legal after the first time it was banned in the Synchro era. I know it's a bit too specific to be competitive but it's always super satisfying when you can successfully activate it.
@@J.D541 I litteraly just quit when I see that on edo
@@J.D541 like I get combos are oppressive but at this point the gy almost more important than the hand
When I used to play the tcg I remember pulling two secret rare Judgment of Anubis
I mean, I feel like 99% of decks get completely screwed over by Necrovalley
Unfortunately it's too specific if it wasn't limited to spells I'd run it even with the discard
Dark Sacrifice is good protection too, as it allows you to gain good advantage if you send 'Absolute King Back Jack' from your deck, providing you more backrow and possibly a better draw on your next turn
6:52 The Sanctum of Parsath specifically protects ALL set cards. Not just your own , but you opponent's as well
The card also combos VERY WELL with Darklords, not only givin them that extra 300 atk/def , but also by letting you consistently recycle Ixchel, Indulged and Morningstar
Did you know that if you only have 1 life points and you use solemn judgement pay half your life points
You don't actually pay anything as your life points get half to 1/2 of a life point and you then have to round up as in Yu-Gi-Oh you can only use whole numbers as life points and rules says you round up.
So basically if you have 1 life point you can activate solemn judgement for free
All of the abyss actor spell cards would fall into the category of the protection just being the threat of their opponent benefiting from the card being destroyed
Yeah plus they can just make you pop the backrow as well if they want to in duel links I would run the mana dragon zirintron just to stop cosmic cyclones and recover treacherous trap hole if I felt like it

"Dark Magician the Dragon Knight"
I play him in my Cyberdark Deck as a great way 2 protect my Buster lock
one question. how?
I love Dark Bribe and always felt like it was super slept on. I used to max it in Rock Stun in 2009 over Solemn Judgment. Since we were a Royal Oppression deck and that card was already so good at shutting down the format, the cards we cared about negating the most were stuff like Heavy Storm and Icarus Attack to protect Oppression. Plus letting them draw for negating their Heavy Storm didn't really hurt us since that meant whatever they were drawing wasn't an out to Oppression.
I personally really like Defense Zone.
Especially in decks that don't really need their field spell zone for anything, it's a free slot in for backrow protection without taking field space.

Imo I think huge revolution is over has a small edge over starlight road particularly in the current meta because afaik as it counts the destruction of 2 or more cards on the field as a whole and then banishes it can be a niche counter to DPE
It's 100 better because it actually is a counter trap and those silly monster negates can't do squat
No starlight is better
@@h3w45 starlight road can't beat herald
@@Sir_X_ oh you’re right about that!! Definitely a huge plus of the card
@@Sir_X_ however herald drytron literally don't run lightning storm lol they run a blind first deck,
they don't even run stuff like evenly or droplets for the most part lol. if you went first and skill drained them chances are they will scoop
11:35 Even though lightning storm has a hard once per turn on its activation, wouldn't you still be able to use a second copy in the same turn even if the first one got negated by dark bribe? Since dark bribe negates the activation and not the effect?
From my personal experience playing backrow/control decks I honestly like dark bribe and huge revolution more over judgement. People always pretend halving your life points more than once is no big deal till your life points are just low enough for your opponent to end you via battle damage or some gimmicky effect damage.
That’s why you take advantage of the negate and win. Adding more fluff to your deck is more harmful, instead of drawing a game ender, you drew another counter to give your opponent one more turn, and in Dark Bribe’s case, another resource.
Just one Imperial Order has canceled many back row destructions, and I’ve won with 200-300 lp’s left from the maintenance cost of that trap.
@@motodog242 Modern backrow removal today usually consists of harpie's feather duster, lightning storm, and twin twisters. All of which can immediately trigger huge revolution without having to halve your life points.
If you know your foe is coming at you with these cards back to back in game two and you can pick 3 copies of the same counter trap to protect yourself just a free negate and banish will always sound better to me over halving your life points potentially 3 times.
The card can also negate monster effects that destroy too unlike judgement which is a crucial ability in the modern era.
tbh honest solemn card being a UR is overrated. u need 6 card (judgment and strike) in your deck to really protect your backrow, and it destroys (many card immune to destory), not to mention the LP cost.

Honorable mention to sea stealth attack, as long as you can banish a water monster, which ssa lets you banish them, you can protect your face up spell or traps. Sadly it’s just face up but most cards used in water decks are face up. Like umi and it’s forms, ssa, sea stealth 2, tornado wall. Can also be good with gravity bind or area limit lv b and legendary ocean with lv 4 now lv 3 water monsters. And many others.
Now it’s only good in water decks and they aren’t meta currently, (but could be again depending on what comes off the ban list) Considering 1/2 of this list doesn’t actually protect anything and this is very strong protection for its archetype thought it at least deserved a honorable mention.
dark bribe doesn't prevent you from playing 2 lightning storms in a turn. it negates the activation, so you're free to activate another one
Dark Magician the Dragon Knight might bear mentioning. It protects your back row and in a proper DM deck using eternal soul, it basically makes your entire field immune to effect destruction
I was gonna bring up that card too
List idea: Best cards that can negate spell speed 4 effects. It's just a weird interesting thing some cards can do in weird ways, generally if they're already established. Like Fabled Unicore, Ms. Judge, and Cerulean Skyfire.

What about Dark Magician the Dragon Knight?
Here's what it says from the Wiki:
""Dark Magician" + 1 Dragon monster
This card's name becomes "Dark Magician" while on the field or in the GY. Your opponent cannot target Spells/Traps you control with card effects, also they cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects."
Also, it doesn't say it can't be special summoned only by Polymerzation, so it could be cheated out of the extra deck with "Waking the Dragon".
it depends on your opponent to trigger waking, and by that time, you probably already lost some of your precious backrow. Also that monster only has 3k atk, pretty easy to get rid of, especially when they've already nuked your backrow. Then in next game when opponent already knew you have waking, they'll plan for it making it even harder to cheat out.
Yo I just realized when you were explaining Artifact Sanctum, if your opponent has an empty field, that would allow them to use lightning storm going second, then you wouldn't have a target to destroy with Sanctum's floating "punishment" effect.
How's Konami creating a broke card like Lord of the heavenly prison. A straight your back row can't be destroyed, and searches ANY spell/trap from the deck.
starlight road is worse than huge revolution is over. not because HRIO is a counter trap, but because it includes your opponents cards in the '2 or more would be destroyed' effect. this makes it useful against cards like destroy phoenix enforcer and even banishes it, stopping it from floating.
this looks like it could be broken up into another list of "best spell/trap cards with floating effects"
Lord of the Heavenly Prison is one of these cards wich has a very weird artwork. It's really hard to tell what is really going on in that artwork and how the actual monster really looks like. :D
Fun fact, Solem Judgement is not live if you only have 1 life points. Really only a factor in Dinomorphia decks but still.
Top 10 monsters that need to banish 1 or more cards from the GY to be special summoned
A card getting an effect when it's destroyed by your opponent is not protection for your back row being destroyed, the rest of your cards still get destroyed and it's likely the rest of them don't get an effect when destroyed
Love the fact that you put 'waking the dragon' in the thumbnail for a video about cards that protect the backrow.
You missed my favorite backrow protecting card, Fake Trap and Carrierroid!!🎉
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is easily far & away the best Waking the Dragon target. If it was available to TCG during when TheDuelLogs made his video about Waking the Dragon, I'm sure Dragoon would've been above Ultimate Falcon.
Ehhh. Depends. It's versatile for sure and fits almost every situation, but for almost every one of those situations there's a better card, like last warrior if they lightning stormed you and play a combo deck. Dragoon is the one card that just works pretty well in any scenario though (surprise surprise, omni negate on an untargetable undestroyable body that gets a pop with burn every turn), so I get the appeal.
Another card to consider would be White Dragon Ninja whose effect is that Spells/Traps you control cannot be destroyed by card effects. The downside being that it cannot be special summoned expect with a "Ninjitsu Art" card's effect. If you can get around this downside and combo it with Safe Zone you end up with an indestructible monster and backrow, that can only be got around by non-targeting card effects like Skill Drain.
That archetype is pretty whicked
So the first four spots on this list are there to disincentivize your opponent from destroying your back row, while the remaining ones are actual protection. It's probably a good idea to use both though, because by protecting it, you're effectively telling your opponent "Hey! I have some valuable back row that I want to use!" Imagine they use a lot of resources to bring out Accesscode Talker to start blasting back row, only for it to be stolen by something like Gigaclops after sniping Waking the Dragon.
dark bribe negates the activation of lightning storm
if you draw into another one you can activate lightning storm again in the same turn
Since Dark Bribe negates the activation of Lightning Storm, I'm almost certain another can be used.
You are indeed correct. Solemn Judgment is also guilty of this. But most of the time this doesnt matter, drawing 2 LS sucks so much lol.

I'd mention the Blue-Eye Jet Dragon package, which is 1 Jet, 1 BEWD, and 2-3 Dragon Shrine if you have something to proc Jet reliably, which might be really easy. Using Shrine will dump both BEWD and Jet to GY, bonus point if you're using dragon monsters that can benefit from other copies of Shrine, then you just need any card on the field to be destroyed to get Jet out once every single turn and protect all other cards from destruction. Jet also has battle protection on itself by being able to bounce any card at begin of the damage step, which is often the card that is about to kill it. The only drawback is of course the BEWD brick but it's not too terrible if you have cards that discard for cost.

No mention of Harpie's Feather Storm? Shame.
As a Phantasm Spiral MD player, I am mad that you didn't include Sea Stealth Attack. That card is a good backrow protector, though you have to play Water Deck. But should be included because it does what the title said - to protect backrow
Realistically speaking, it's hard for me to protect my backrow as a True Draco player, mostly because I don't mind if you destroy my True Draco/King stuff. Just means your stuff gets popped too.
My big problem is when I have spent a good 5 minutes going through my plays to get a full backrow, that doesn't include Judgement, and the first thing they do is Lightning Storm/Feather Duster.
it makes me so sad.😢

Incorrect ruling on Lightning Storm. Lightning Storm reads that you can only activate one per turn. Dark Bribe negates the activation. With the activation negated, you can activate another Lightning Storm since the effect was never really activated. If Lightning Storm read that you can only use this effect once per turn, then you wouldn't be able to activate it again because you already used the effect. But if your opponent negates Lightning Storm with Hope Harbinger, then they wouldn't be able to activate another one since Hope Harbinger negates the effect and not the activation.
Love you videos.
Oh no, you made a blunder there.
Dark Bribe nengates activations.
Lightning storm has a limit on its activations.
So if you dark bribe lightning storm, and they draw into another one, they can go ahead and activate it.
Please amend this somewhere, it'd be a big thing.

Wait, suppose I'm playing any kind of Fairy deck (say 3/4 of my main deck are fairies, I have a boss main deck fairy, and my extra deck has good syncrho monsters including a fairy), is Sanctum of the Parshath good backrow protection? As a continuous spell card, it is vulnerable to Lighting Storm and MST clones. It seems to me that Boo-Boo Game would be better and since I usually don't run mono type decks even if I'm heavy on a type, putting in Mana Dragon Zirnitron and Starlight Road are also better. Like wouldn't a Lightning Storm just blow up Sanctuary, then since it's no longer on the field all my set traps are gone?
yo bro , u had an pretty common error , if u negate Lightning with dark bribe , u can activate another lightning cause bribe negate the activation and Lightning says u can ACTIVATE 1 per turn if lightning said U CAN USE then u cant activate another one . USE AND ACTIVATE ARE NOT THE SAME .
Thanks, I'm making a true Trap Monster Deck and I need everything I can get and then some.
There's an xyz Number 66: Master Key Beetle who is also a pretty solid option. For just one xyz material it can protect any other card you control, facedown or not, for as long as N66 is kept on the field. So this card can protect your most important backrow cards or even other protection. on the field as soon as turn 1, still protects them even after they activate, and only takes up a slot in your Extra Deck. But keep in mind N66 requires two Dark Level 4's, it has a lousy excuse for self protection, it can't target itself and it's effect is not a quick effect.
There's also Card Guard, who is pretty much a one-use Master Key Beetle when Summoned that can protect even after it leaves the field, and is not a hopt. If you can find ways to reuse a Level 4 Dark Fiend consistently it will be well worth your trouble, and it can be used as material for N66.
Most Stardust Synchros are great backrow support for decks that can Synchro Summon. It's tricky but if you do choose to go down this route the ultimate option is probably Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon who is about as heavy duty protection as you can get. Shooting Majestic Star Dragon is also a great option.

I play gravekeeper's. The deck basically runs with cards being face up on the field. Let me explain this better. Gravekeeper's has face up continuous traps and spells but is weak by relying on a field spell card and has no protection at all. I need to protect my back row so I may prevent my opponent from special summon and lock down their graveyard and prevent effects in their graveyard.

Dark bribe is more of a general protection/utility card than back row protection as it can negate or change effects like drawing or searching via spell and traps for example hit reinforcement of the army, the search for a warrior monster becomes a draw 1 card under dark bribe, pot of greed gets halved, polymerization becomes draw 1 card instead of a fusion summon and quick play spells become draw 1 card effects instead of their regular useful utility. Allowing the opponent to draw more cards is NEVER really a good idea but can be preferable to effects that can let them outright win the game as drawing a random card mid combo can disrupt the Combo.

- Stardust Dragon and it's stronger forms

Well how about looking at top 10 best anti cards cards meant to counter either certain type or attributed like for example Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman (who I think should make the list) who gain 1000 attack for every Dragon monster your opponent has on their field or in their graveyard switches them to defense mode while also have the ability to do piercing damage and on top all that it makes so your opponents dragons can't activated their effects the only draw back is it can't attack directly but given everything it has going for it and that a lot most powerful boss monster's are dragon and that Dragon type is more common types to get new cards added to them makes Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman a great anti card
I think Galaxy cyclone is the best spell card to remove traps. Sure they can still activate, but if you have 3 galaxy cyclone and 3 night beam not many traps or spells are going to feature in your opponent’s plays. I knoe there are better options. But night beam is great if you know or can guess what the trap is.
another distinction between The Huge Revolution is Over and Starlight Road, is that THRiO can be activated when ANY 2 cards ANYWHERE on the field would be destroyed, making it more versatile, while Starlight Road can only be used if 2 of YOUR cards you control would be destroyed.
A lot of cards that destroy both one of your card and one of your opponent tend to do so in two steps, so it won't proc. An exception would be board wipes like dark hole, which probably will destroy 2 of your monsters anyways. Still, it's a nice niche edge.
@@alex_zetsu Worth noting that THRiO can be used on DPE, since it will destroy 2 cards no matter what.
