I cannot wrap my head around that Spaceships deck. It looks like it's from one of the History of Jank episodes where Cimo and MBT have already played the 12 best decks in the format but they don't wanna move on
Yeah but the fact honest is used on top of a few flodgate, it's easy to see how it could work. I'm prety sure i see Royal Oppresion in the deck list as well.
One of the cards gives his other monsters trap protection. I can see how that can combo with torrential tribute and call of the haunted + giant trunade
@@legeul its still kind of crazy, but there is a strategy there. i wonder if someone could do the same today just pile staples and use some alright monsters and top...
Logs didn't mentioned it, but one of the reason the deck can maintain so much advantage because of Honest. Honest was the beast during 2010 format and guarantee their space ship to win a battle, triggering their monster effect having low attack also helps them dodge Bottomless Trap Hole, which a staple during that format
Jeff Jones is definitely one of the goats of the game. He’s on the Mount Rushmore of yugioh for sure. Not just the mentioned decks, he topped with Yang Zing when people thought it was a gimmick. He topped with Koaki Meiru BroFist making Koaki Meiru Urknight go from 2 bucks to 30 back in the day. That’s like a 2 dollar card hitting 80. That’s why “old” yugioh was so fun because finding niche archetypes that was competitive was possible. Nowadays, all these negates and handtraps just power creep everything before 2020.
@@hatersbhating 10 minutes is generous lol really sharky players would take 20. And then tell you to play faster when it’s your turn to really rub it in. But yea the whole ftk/otk movement, yugioh has become has really turned a lot of players away to playing time wizard now, like Edison. Modern is just unfixable, like it has gone pass the point of no return with all the handtraps, and crazier, and crazier archetypes coming out. Just first turn solitaire.
Even Japan had weird stuff like _Vintage Chaos Deck_ scoring a win in the year *2020* His opponents had their hand traps pretty much bricked all the time and somehow Mirror Force cooked up serious trouble.
that world chalice list changed my life. i made so many decks focusing on summoning gameciel to my side. fishborg harpooner, broomy, burst gryphon, tribute summoning over impcantantions and many more
Very happy that spaceships is number 1 in here. I actually experimented it with modern era techs, and it works well as low-low tier rogue deck, paired with big kaijus and gadgets. I can proudly say I had beaten a tear, hero, and Punk PEP with this deck...well, in gold tho
Top 10 cards that will always have "Rogue" status as a tech option. We can add a duo of Cyber Dragon and Chimeratech Fortress Dragon as a powerful removal option that can wipe and entire field of Machine monsters with no response possible from your opponent.
One of my favorite decks when I was a child was what I called my 'Boss Rush' deck when Enemies of Justice had come out. Ran three copies of Vic Viper XX-03, 3 Power Capsules for easier effect triggers to buff Vic, and the B.E.S. Cores with Boss Rush! Continuous.
If it came true I would be the happiest Gradius player. I aint joking, I played it in MD, with Kaiju and Gadget tech. A simple "your opponent cannot respond in battle phase" is more than helpful to execute honest + limiter removals
I retired from YGO last year, but the only deck I kept was my Gradius deck. Although mine is not as cool as #1 in this list, I just use Lord British, XX03, and T301 alongside a bunch of kaijus and attack spells + removal and hand traps. Such a fun deck, it consistently won most game 1's in my locals and then proceeded to lose games 2 and 3 lmfao
Aye fellow rare gradius player 🙌 I played it in MD back in 2023 tear era with unlimited Pot of Extravagance. I added gold silver plat gadget for more summons + called by's. I love when I can teach people damage calc rulings 😂 no response and suddenly boom 9k option token
I am so fan of your content DuelLogs. This video is amazing, and I have a headache just guessing how much effort it took. As a casual/digital YGO player, but also 25-year old fan of the game, I find very insteresting knowing about what has happened in the major tournaments all this time. It makes me feel like in YuGiOh every year/event/duel is completely different from the ones before, and that is the reason we all are still in love with it. Regards from Mexico.
The "Doomcaliber Gadgets" deck that finished runner up at SJC Edison. Even the player had no idea how he got to the finals with that deck and it's not played in Edison Format today.
You should also do a list on the top 10 weirdest decks that ever do well at high level events even if they didnt win (exodia ftk piles by Jeff Jones last year), I'd personally want to see how many of those decks are just Jeff Jones' being actual Yami Yugi and sees the lines nobody else does.
7:29 So fun fact… The monster in the card art for Skill Drain (Dark Ruler Ha Des) Is in A LOT of card arts, and most of them tell a story between him and his rival (Dark King of the Abyss)…. And yet, Dark King of the Abyss never got a retrain of its own… I’ll amend that: _Dark Ruler of the Abyss_ (DARK) Level 3 Fiend/Tuner/Effect _While this card is Face-up on the field or in the GY, you can target 1 Face-up Spell/Trap on the field, then Target 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your GY; Special Summon that second target. If that targeted Spell/Trap leaves the field, Destroy all Face-up Monsters you control that were Special Summoned by this card’s effects. Pay 1000 Life Points, then declare a Type and an Attribute (Quick Effect): Your opponent must send 1 monster with both the declared Type and Attribute from their hand, Deck, or Face-up from their field to the Graveyard. For the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters with that sent monster's name. You can only use each effect of “Dark Ruler of the Abyss” once per turn._ ATK/1200 DEF/800 I based its effects off of “Powerful Rebirth”, “Abyssal Designator” and “Herald of the Abyss”, Which are all cards that have the OG Monster in its art.
Gotta be honest, the number 1 spot feels 100% like an anime character. Someone just playing for theme rather than strategy. Until I see a picture proving otherwise, I think showed up wearing a Kamen Rider inspired space pilot suit.
A good one too is the YCS São Paulo 2015. The guy who achieve the top of event was playing a Harpie deck against all of fire fists and geargia at the time. Epic
At the time that gradious deck was winning, I was playing it at locals unaware of this, I wonder how I would have fared at the time, my deck list was pretty similar with a few equips and fewer traps.
Top 10 Worst classic cards 7: Ancient Sanctuary, or Top 10 Worst Warrior type monsters. Or Worst monsters that cannot be normal summoned or set For the non top 10 list: The Unknown side of Yu-Gi-Oh: Beasts of the Colliseum featuring Gladiator Beasts

What happened to the number 9 script? Ycs Milan was toss format and firewall dragon was banned December 3. There's actually a really cool documentary-style yt video over the prank kids ycs win though
I like my super heavy samurai deck. As a child I wanted my deck filled with monsters. No spells or traps. Years later we see the Heavy Strong style in action.
I am now officially a fan of that TG stun deck. Not cause I like the deck or anything, but because of the name of the decks owner. My name is Marquise too and outside of friends and family I never hear anyone say the name cause it’s pretty uncommon, so it was both surprising and welcoming to hear DuelLogs use it twice😂
I wanna see a crooked cook themed deck win a big event someday. The card is underrated and misunderstood for its utility imo. Most folk just see cook as a way to stall for exodia or final countdown, which is narrow minded imo. Crooked cook can uniquely mind game opponents and waste their resources to make way for game winning or at least tide turning counter plays. Cook is a litmus test for opponents deck building skills because of the specificity of the outs required to get around cook or remove him. When paired with a zeus or two in the extra deck, astral kuriboh or right hand sharks in deck to summon cook with, and other clever tech options such as monsters that have graveyard effects that can be activated after being destroyed by cooks effect on field; Cook can really shine in his sheer versatility as both a sword and shield. Really feels like an iseki anime protagonist anti-hero in card form
I remember when Jeff topped with that deck back in the day. (I live in Michigan around the same area as him). Played competitively around that same time. It was insane to hear about this guy go off the way he did. I just saw him last week at my locals. Didn't say anything, but after watching this I need to talk to dude lol
0:35 So Maju Garzett and Gren Maju Da Eiza are part of the “Maju” cards, but has 3 other versions of itself… I’d like to make 1 for Gren: _Grand Maju Da Eiza_ (FIRE) Level 7 _Fiend/Effect_ _You can Normal Summon this card without Tributes while you control a Face-up Monster that was first Summoned from Banishment. While there are 3 or more banished cards, you can shuffle 2 Banished cards into their owners decks (Quick Effect): Special Summon this card from your Hand, GY or Banishment. This card's ATK becomes the number of banished cards x 400. If this card would be sent to the GY, You can Banish it instead._ ATK/? DEF/200
@@xenvj Well here’s the thing… This card is now getting 400 ATK from ALL banished cards, not just your own like the original. Meanwhile, the Special Summon is A: on a non-OPT (Quick Effect), B: Can Special Summon itself from your Hand, GY and Banishment, and C: Shuffle 2 of your Banished cards back into your deck whilst you have at least 3 Banished to begin with. So you can use this card as any kind of cost, or banish any number of cards for whatever, then start shuffling cards back into your deck to both special summon this card AND recoup some of your advantage. So, as an example… You use Pot of Extravagance to Banish 6 cards from your extra deck to draw 2 cards… You can shuffle 2 of them back into your extra deck to Special Summon this card, Do what you need with it, then send it to the GY or Banish it, then Special Summon again, and rinse and repeat until you run out of Banished cards (and since this card can both Banish itself AND it counts towards it’s own 3 Banished Cards quota if you do, you really only need 2 other cards banished half the time, so that pot effectively can get you 3 special summons from this card). Also, it’s a Rekindling target with the 200 DEF I gave it, and Rekindling’s end of turn banishment hardly phases this card through all of the above I stated.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire You really didn't need to type that whole essay down. The PSCT does NOT work like that. The ATK gain clause after the summon means it gets it from the effect. There is a fixed order of how clauses are ordered. Continuous Effects, most notable in cards like Chengying. You can look at any card that gains ATK as part of an effect and as a continuous effect, you'll see how different it is. Alternate Summon conditions -> Conditions(?) -> Continuous Effects -> Monster Effect That and the card effect is just bad by modern standards. You need to Tribute Summon a card Special Summoned from the banishment. Way too specific, regardless of the deck. Not even banish-focused strategies can do this reliably. The Special Summon effect is just as equally bad when you need to have 3 or more banished cards and you need to shuffle it. Unless your opponent banishes a lot, having the effect use either players' banishment wouldn't make much of a difference. Base Gren Maju is just way better because you only need to Normal Summon it and you're done. Also, if you like making cards, do consider learning PSCT. There's at least 2 errors with your custom card.
@@xenvj There, I amended the Special Summon so that it A: Only needs 3 banished cards from either player, and B: can shuffle you opponent’s banished cards to for it’s effect. I also amended the Normal Summon to let you Normal Summon it without tributes while you control a Face-up monster that was first Summoned from Banishment.
11:28 Super Quant's finest hour 12:58 kinda funny that the Brilliant Fusion engine is still playable in Master Duel, yet people barely do anything with it 15:55 mecha phantom beast played as its own deck?!
Brilliant fusion is limited and you have to play something like predaplant engine to search it, which require a normal summon not many decks can afford that so they don't use it
No one using a really old engine is not strange, people pretending it would be broken nowadays are. Same goes for 99% of the individual cards on the list and a bit less in conjunction
Very interesting video! Although I don’t understand how a Mecha Phantom Beast deck could beat a Necroz deck that uses a monster that prevents a player from Special Summoning when the MPB archetype is all about getting tokens on the field.
s2g there was a point where this guy said he was gonna promo a bunch of vtubers for like. 1 week and mentioned how talent agents are cool and not predatory and he was gonna be one and now he's doing lootbox scams like a decade after everyone realizes they were a scam
It's interesting that someone winning Edison format event with Quickdraw Dandy would be considered winning with a jank deck. I can't wrap my hand around why anyone let alone whole community thought that deck was good.
But it was only good cause of floodgates, I like TGs as well but that is such a shitty way to play and not impressive at all. If there was no floodgates then it would of been an impressive top.
Man I remember back in 2006 my group of friends stopped playing Yugioh when one of our guys bought like 2 full boxes just because he loved Gradius and wanted to make a jank deck around Vic Viper and didnt get a sngle one. We all stopped playing getting sick of how Chaos just gave way to a Treeborn loving Monarch and every single archytype they released seemed to suck as if they had no idea how to design the game. Now yeah it was premature and I would come back for XYZ era but everyone I knew bailed. He probably would have loved to see how deck wasnt as jank as he imagined
In that Gren Maju deck, what is monster to the right of Danger!? Tsuchinoko? Also, what is Spell Card next to Nibiru in the side deck and the trap in the side deck? and what is in the Extra Deck?
Oh my God I thought I was the only person who played mecha phantom beast! Also I think the space ship cards are some of the coolest cards in the game. I'm gonna try to build a deck with them and the satellite cannon archetype!
i used to work and play at the orignal arg store and remember when the arg series was still being talked about, ripped me out of focus hearing it here; small world lol
I felt that it was an achievement topping a local with a dark Synchron Quasar deck that had a single ogre and a single veiler (don't ask my daily budget back then was 5€). After that video I feel humbled especially after going to a local for the first time since 2016 and getting whooped by fiendsmith snake- eyes and beating Melodious
Here's another good one, someone took Celtic Guardian Control to an OCG tournament and got 2nd place in 2021 of all years. Yes, THE Celtic Guardian and every copy and retrain of Celtic Guardian along with it for further absurdity. The troll-among trolls deck topped in a fairly recent modern meta!
They don't, but that's also not what he means. His point is just that Lightray Sorcerer has Synergy with Ghost Ship. The actual idea is that you banish your own Light-Monsters to get out multiple copies of Ghost Ship to make those Rank 5s mentioned, which in turn sets you up for Sorcerer's "must have atleast 3 Light Monsters banished" Requirement, letting you get an extra Banish on top of the Destroy Effects the Rank 5s have (on top of said Banish also letting you recycle your own banished Monsters)
4:17 "Causing the price of these previously cheap cards to skyrocket" Top 10 secondary market gougers that need to be deported to North Korea would be a good idea for a video.
Really thought my og firekings from YCS Chicago were gunna make this list haha prime firefist/bujin/mermail/gergia era and wayyyy before any support. 😂
Are you thinking of Jeff Leonard? that's the most famous recent Exodia win I can think of, but that was a Feature match, he didn't actually top that YCS
You're sort of right, but also not really. Spaceships for example was absolute trash. It loses to most blackwing decks at the time, it just abused honest, floodgates, and battle quickplays. There were way more versatile and creative pure fairy and chaos fairy decks at the time that got extremely unlucky. Fairies offer far greater control (for the time period) with more versatile options and stronger floodgate abuse.
Would be good if you explain the combo of these decks for peoples who havnt play yugioh for since like synchro lol. Dont really understand why these are so broken

Not even banish-focused strategies can do this reliably. The Special Summon effect is just as equally bad when you need to have 3 or more banished cards and you need to shuffle it. Unless your opponent banishes a lot, having the effect use either players' banishment wouldn't make much of a difference.
Base Gren Maju is just way better because you only need to Normal Summon it and you're done. Also, if you like making cards, do consider learning PSCT. There's at least 2 errors with your custom card.

There, I amended the Special Summon so that it A: Only needs 3 banished cards from either player, and B: can shuffle you opponent’s banished cards to for it’s effect.
I also amended the Normal Summon to let you Normal Summon it without tributes while you control a Face-up monster that was first Summoned from Banishment.
11:28 Super Quant's finest hour
12:58 kinda funny that the Brilliant Fusion engine is still playable in Master Duel, yet people barely do anything with it
15:55 mecha phantom beast played as its own deck?!
Brilliant fusion is limited and you have to play something like predaplant engine to search it, which require a normal summon
not many decks can afford that so they don't use it
No one using a really old engine is not strange, people pretending it would be broken nowadays are.
Same goes for 99% of the individual cards on the list and a bit less in conjunction
regarding the 2012 monster mash deck: lightray sorcerer is a lvl 6 monster. How was he summoning rank 5 monsters with it?
Very interesting video! Although I don’t understand how a Mecha Phantom Beast deck could beat a Necroz deck that uses a monster that prevents a player from Special Summoning when the MPB archetype is all about getting tokens on the field.
20:50 If I'm not mistaken, the Lord British Space Fighter is a reference to the first Ultima game.
Wonderful video idea!
s2g there was a point where this guy said he was gonna promo a bunch of vtubers for like. 1 week and mentioned how talent agents are cool and not predatory and he was gonna be one and now he's doing lootbox scams like a decade after everyone realizes they were a scam
Loot box scams? Really?
11:11 I see stall/burn all the time on MD. Maybe 1/20 duels. Homie must not play it much.
It's interesting that someone winning Edison format event with Quickdraw Dandy would be considered winning with a jank deck. I can't wrap my hand around why anyone let alone whole community thought that deck was good.
The most bizarre deck i ever played was superheavy samurai during monarch format. They didnt expect blackgarden machine dupe on big benki
Spaceship and chain burn are 2 decks that also on duel generation (mobile game, "removed from play"). The game was hard
6:19 As a T.G. main, this makes me extremely happy.
But it was only good cause of floodgates, I like TGs as well but that is such a shitty way to play and not impressive at all. If there was no floodgates then it would of been an impressive top.
11:27 excuse me what in the actual [REDACTED] is this name
Man I remember back in 2006 my group of friends stopped playing Yugioh when one of our guys bought like 2 full boxes just because he loved Gradius and wanted to make a jank deck around Vic Viper and didnt get a sngle one. We all stopped playing getting sick of how Chaos just gave way to a Treeborn loving Monarch and every single archytype they released seemed to suck as if they had no idea how to design the game. Now yeah it was premature and I would come back for XYZ era but everyone I knew bailed. He probably would have loved to see how deck wasnt as jank as he imagined
I remember I was judging the YCS Jeff Jones won with Psychic. One of my friends could have stopped him in top 32 and threw the game.
In that Gren Maju deck, what is monster to the right of Danger!? Tsuchinoko?
Also, what is Spell Card next to Nibiru in the side deck and the trap in the side deck? and what is in the Extra Deck?
Oh my God I thought I was the only person who played mecha phantom beast! Also I think the space ship cards are some of the coolest cards in the game. I'm gonna try to build a deck with them and the satellite cannon archetype!
i used to work and play at the orignal arg store and remember when the arg series was still being talked about, ripped me out of focus hearing it here; small world lol
Didn’t think to hear about Bochum today
Top 10 Best youtube videos that doesn't have music
I felt that it was an achievement topping a local with a dark Synchron Quasar deck that had a single ogre and a single veiler (don't ask my daily budget back then was 5€). After that video I feel humbled especially after going to a local for the first time since 2016 and getting whooped by fiendsmith snake- eyes and beating Melodious
What is the card next to card destruction for the deck list for #10?
I got 2 mystery boxes ordered, I can't wait :D
I remember CRYING when marco took ycs bochum with world chalice. Best deck I've ever played
Great video but no music at all sounded odd…..
Here's another good one, someone took Celtic Guardian Control to an OCG tournament and got 2nd place in 2021 of all years.
Yes, THE Celtic Guardian and every copy and retrain of Celtic Guardian along with it for further absurdity. The troll-among trolls deck topped in a fairly recent modern meta!
Chef’s kiss video 🎉
At that same gren maju tourney didn’t someone top with burn?
how does lightray sorc and ghost ship make rank 5s? Sorc is a 6
They don't, but that's also not what he means. His point is just that Lightray Sorcerer has Synergy with Ghost Ship.
The actual idea is that you banish your own Light-Monsters to get out multiple copies of Ghost Ship to make those Rank 5s mentioned, which in turn sets you up for Sorcerer's "must have atleast 3 Light Monsters banished" Requirement, letting you get an extra Banish on top of the Destroy Effects the Rank 5s have (on top of said Banish also letting you recycle your own banished Monsters)
Same question

I wonder if Joshua graham was using a burn deck…

Wasn’t there this one deck that got second at some tournament that after looking back at it nobody knew how it happened
I still remember a guys use Celtic Guardian with whole bunch of battle trap beat the heck out of everyone.
Top 10 newly added support that get craziest effect to carry the deck
PLEASE make a top 10 video of your best videos to sleep to ! With honorable mentions too ! Quack !
FLAG ON FIELD. No mention of Jeff and exodia
The Gradius deck guy was literally an anime character lol
Really thought my og firekings from YCS Chicago were gunna make this list haha prime firefist/bujin/mermail/gergia era and wayyyy before any support. 😂
pretty sure someone topped with Exodia in one of the post-2020 formats
Are you thinking of Jeff Leonard? that's the most famous recent Exodia win I can think of, but that was a Feature match, he didn't actually top that YCS
@@winnerwood yes, solid jj referenced him in one of his videos
It shouldnt be called weird decks. It should be called most creative decks
You're sort of right, but also not really. Spaceships for example was absolute trash. It loses to most blackwing decks at the time, it just abused honest, floodgates, and battle quickplays. There were way more versatile and creative pure fairy and chaos fairy decks at the time that got extremely unlucky. Fairies offer far greater control (for the time period) with more versatile options and stronger floodgate abuse.
Saw Vic Viper/Gradius. Clicked IMMEDIATELY.
Top ten animals that are actually weapons or tools
To be fair, the prank kid deck that won in 2018 is after the Firewall Dragon and a bunch of bs ftk is banned.
I'm sad there's no Dinos here
It would be cool if some madman pulls out Overtex Qoatlus because of the usual banish shenanigans in the future.
Jeff Leonard summoning exodia twice on stream. Best ever
top 10 best fiend fusion monsters
I'm curious, why do you choose a spider to represent this channel? I think its cool because I don't see aesthetics like it very often
Would be good if you explain the combo of these decks for peoples who havnt play yugioh for since like synchro lol. Dont really understand why these are so broken
Victory Viper + Honest + Limit Removal is OTK in the damage step if the opponent has 1300 ATK or more. The disrespect...
LOVE spaceships ❤
legit shocked to see BEWD's one Worlds win not making it on here
Jesse kotton's ninja deck from a year or 2 ago was cool
