Solemn warning and pot of duality era was the best. The cards were meta defining in every way, but they weren't stupidly broken like dominus impulse with broken effects and fake restrictions. Whatever happens in life, Solemn warning will always be my GOAT.
Not gonna lie, I still occasionally use Mirror Force and Crush Card virus, not necessarily for their effects but in combination with The Fang of Critias for their Dragon Fusion cards. Also used Drowning, Storming, & Quaking Mirror Force along with Magic Cylinder just the see the surprise in their faces.
I won a bunch of duels back in the day with compulsory evacuation device. Its good for the same reasons as icarus attack but it doesnt require a tribute(or winged beasts). I mostly used the card for removal right after my opponent summoned from the extra deck. I enjoyed it because I faced a number of stonewall cards and sending them to the hand was generally more effective than trying to destroy said monster's. I had a good friend who would run x 3 card guard in nearly every deck. I fucking couldnt handle that shit some days. Bro put card guard and field barrier in a deck with seal of orichalcos. Would stonewall for 10 years. He would summon beelze the diabolic dragon then activate seal. Couldnt attack over or destroy beelze. Dimension prison and compulsory evacuation device saved my life and sanity😂
Gravedigger's traphole easily one of the best negates a monster effect in hand banished or gy and it's not once per turn,* and also burns for 2k on resolution*
I like Stardust Re-spark. It lets you stop an attack that would wipe out out your lifepoints and lets you draw a card and then also let's you summon one 'Stardust' monster from you extra deck!
Some powerful traps that were powerful but no longer of use... If you check before the Synchro era, cards like Dust Tornado and Sakuretsu Armor were plentiful. Dimensional Prison was also a strong contender.
I actually use that rather than infinite impermanence in my personal deck. Let's just say if it can't be reset to the field it's graveyard effect can be useful.
Anyone remember when Spellbinding Circle was actually a helpful card instead of just a card that takes up space? Also, in terms of trap cards, I feel Ordeal of a Traveler would take a spot even if lower in the tier.
Mirror force is capable of being a combo piece with the right build in Unchained. It should be able to trigger Unchained Abomination's first effect. A Labrynth/Unchained hybrid could make this terrifying.
Unchained Abomination's first effect reads: 'If a card(s) on the field is destroyed by a card effect, except by 'Unchained Abomination'(except during the damage step) you can target one card on the field and destroy it.' since Mirror force works on attack declaration, the damage step(Calculation+application of damage) DOESN'T happen. So you SHOULD be free to activate Abomination's effect, after resolving your mirror force. That's a SHOULD. Raigeki definitely can activate Abomination's first effect as it's ONLY usable in either main phase, meaning the damage step is irrelevant to the triggering of Unchained Abomination's first effect.😅
You mentioned witch’s strike at least as an honorable mention. You get a like. You mentioned ring of destruction. You get a like. You warned players of my babies, mirror force and magic cylinder(+magical cylinders combo) You lost a like. 😂 Results… you gots a like. 😂 Bonus: I got some dumb casual ideas now.
This is the only game with a banlist and makes card remasters. However STILL decides to Errota'ed classic stuff like Crush Card just to then go ahead and make Poplar. Destroy the legacy of its own iconic cards in the game.. I just don't get the management of this game at all...
If I had to name a trap card that don't mess around I'd choose Judgment of Anubis, I'm the type of guy that likes to have negates running in his deck. Being that I'm a old school player I try to watch out for those board breakers by being one step ahead. That barrel card used to be really popular, you could use it in combination with wall of revealing light and that would be a wrap. I knew a guy back in the day that would run those cards, and along with that strategy he'd also intentionally put the Exodia pieces in his graveyard and then he'd use back up soldier to assemble the pieces. I gotta say though we don't use those cards no more.
My favorites are the Mirror Force cards and Magic Cylinders. Syrus had the better version of the card Atem used, and I'll tell you why. Cylinder is probably one if not among the only traps that isn't effected by the Egyptian God cards . I know because I pulled it on someone when they had Ra at 15/000, so naturally they weren't happy, because the attack goes back at their LP. Mirror Forces can surprise opponents. I pulled the original on someone who had a full field, and the dude didn't even pay attention. His expression was a cartoon character or fish. Blazing runs similar to Ring of Destruction, and Quaking is a beautiful set-up for Blue Eyes Chaos and Chaos Max.
As someone who pulled Two Pronged Attack as their first rare from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in 2002, Two Pronged Attack was absolutely never, ever good at all
Appointer of the red lotus is buster and can't forget about compulsory shit is timeless such a simple but effective card after people have linked ot snchryod in a monster that can't be destroyed. Think about i:p into a underworld goddess can't be destroyed unaffected unless targeted or appo then compulsory that shit back lol
Konami never needs to change a car affect and ring it's actually should never have been banned or ratted there's no reason why you couldn't still play it the right way and that is so you never lose a game and it's tight if that it comes even to that point where you can play it that way and your opponent lets you get that close to where they can play it that way and present themselves from losing the opponent sucks and deserves to get tired because they should have never let their opponent get to the same rights as them is to give their opponent a chance to use a card like that against them
What’s happened? Is yugioh falling off the radar or has Cali done something? I haven’t watched for almost a year and his views are just tiny now You okay Cali?
Okay Kelly affect the Witcher strike was never good and in every trap card in this game if it was good at one time still he can be good and now they're smarter than Yu-Gi-Oh people just do not know how to play the game people want to play the game too fast and people that play the game too fast and put out with their hands take 10 minutes and they go through 20 minutes 10 20 minute combos are the shittiest players out there a good / great player does not do that they only do a one or two moves with their opponent do one or two moves do one or two moves back and have a slow chest match

Yea and them getting featured as promo in the tins was soo good. Almost all meta cards were gettable and afforable. I miss that time 😢

Quaking was my favorite mirror force before links came out. It was literally dhurama cannon but better back then
@@BdawwwgLove that card, If you side quaking it can still be devastating for non-link decks

Actually, Jaden has used both Solemn Judgement and Mirror Force in GX
How bout a dark magician deck build and what the archetype needs in the way of new cards to make it viable for the upcoming meta.

Call of the Hunted was truly a crazy card back in the day. I pray we never have to deal with a card that powerful again.

I feel like trap cards can still be used but Icarus is still being used I didn’t know
Breakthrough Skill is a cool card
I actually use that rather than infinite impermanence in my personal deck. Let's just say if it can't be reset to the field it's graveyard effect can be useful.

Card was never actually good
Still play mirror force 🤣 such a classic getting the "who plays this still?" After winning off it
Mirror force is capable of being a combo piece with the right build in Unchained. It should be able to trigger Unchained Abomination's first effect. A Labrynth/Unchained hybrid could make this terrifying.

Errota's are the dumbest thing in this game, next to 'when and if' ruling
Can we get a tier list for decks for returning players? 👀
Too many people using the same decks bro. Use the Meta hand traps and board wipes and make your own scheme and strategies.

You mean Barrel Behind the Door? That doesn't combo with Wall of Revealing Light, since paying LP is different from taking effect damage.
@ytmndman Absolutely correct.
I hate, absolutely HATED Bottomless Trap Hole back in the day. Getting my monster banished was such a frustrating experience.
10:24 ooo I’m thinking of putting this in my Yubel deck as a tech.Non targeting removal.
I have Magic Cylinder and won my first duel ever with it, sir.
I once attacked someone with a 14k zeroboros and they flipped magic cylinder on me and instantly lost, still haunts me to this day
Did it call you before haunting you?
Imperial Order, Vanity's Emptiness
I don't even use infinite. I rely on other trap cards that can stop my opponent, benefit me, and defend me.
My favorites are the Mirror Force cards and Magic Cylinders.
Syrus had the better version of the card Atem used, and I'll tell you why.
Cylinder is probably one if not among the only traps that isn't effected by the Egyptian God cards .

wait people don't use traps anymore?
I have this version of the Crush Card Virus in real life, sir.
Cali I love purple cards and I love this video!
😂 people sleep on Mirror Force? That baby is my staple in every deck i make in master duel
Your decks are bad then
I always carry seven tools of the bandit in mine and magic jammer
@@justinthebeau2590 xD ah so I'll have to bait those alot-
Bro just make a dinomorphia deck profile we all see that you want it
I just turned twenty-two years old on the first of this month, sir.
Good days when bth, tt, compuls and mirror force were in every deck
Have had mirror force used against me in master duel
@@NachoCheese2 must been a causal duel
Cali my boy. You gotta talk about "Lullaby Of Obedience" in one of these videos. Card is a sleeper for real.
If Mirror Force is not number one. I am going to Rage.
I've won so many duels against tenpei with the Red Screen trap which prevents your opponent from attacking
As someone who pulled Two Pronged Attack as their first rare from Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in 2002, Two Pronged Attack was absolutely never, ever good at all
You forgot about white hole, just in case they have dark hole
Magic Cylinder, Jelly Cannon and Waboku can still work too!
strike and ice dragon prison see play in most trap lab deck so they do see play, the rest of this not so much
IDP is so underrated, it is basically the modern day D Prison.
I actually run stardust road for set and field spell defense lmao
I think they should make more traps like infinite infinite impermanence that can activate from the hand.
Wait where Magic Cylinder ?
Karma cut up there I've not played since kozmo times but still

Never heard someone say diabolical like that 💀 good video though
my favorite trap card is STATUE OF ANGISH PATTERN
The lofi music in the background makes the vid go hard
I think all handtraps should be banned and new handtraps should be imperm style traps, let's make traps great again
Just play burn blind going second and their broken handtraps are useless paper clown cards 🤡
Cali, what would you say are the best trap decks in yugioh? I would say Dinomorphia or Lab. Would love to see another video giving traps more love.
to say any Solemn card is forgotten is a stretch bro. Judgement, Strike, and Warning all see play regularly.
I play master duel, of all these the only one I've seen used the most is magic cylinders
Strike and Judgement? Yes. Warning? No
......oh boy labrynth can weaponize these lmao
I have Call Of The Haunted too sir.
Time seal was broken back then
I fucking love wall of revealing light absolutely amazing gameplay ahha
We want synchro dragon link deck profile
Solemn judgment ✨ pay half and now i have fifty life points 😂
Mystical ref panel!!
The list is legit
No mirror Force should have never been banned ever
Warning point???
I have Mirror Force, sir.
Im using old school cards more so in the game
Yeah bid dawg!
I know that I have some of these cards, sir.
I have Bottomless Trap Hole and Trap Hole, 😊sir.
