Plus it's not as bad as depicted, it's good in decks where monsters gain damage from monsters in ur graveyard or have graveyard effects it's actually in a red-eyes b. dragon deck of mine with darkness dragon
It also works well in fire King decks and nepythys decks I think since both birds blow up the field when they get destroyed by card effects (though who knows maybe it bypasses those effects)
I used Pot of Generosity in some FTK decks that required certain cards to be in the deck and not the hand so I could search them or place them on top of the deck, as was the case in some Dark Doriado decks.
If I ever get attacked by a zone eater, I'd literally just let the effect resolve and destroy my monster. My opponent deserves to have some happiness to go along with such optimism.
Cold Feet + Mystical Refpanel is busted because you would stop your opponent from using spell and trap cards for a turn. That could really screw over a lot of players.

Heroic gift: if your opponent's life points are 2000 or less, make their life points 8000 and draw 2 cards So if: 1000 LP = 1 Your opponent's life points are 2000 You go -6 to get + 2 And It can't be activated with bad reaction to simachi
Unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible), I don't see how Neo Bubbleman is a -4. It's a -2 to summon right? And even with the whole Bubble Blaster "combo" he mentioned, its still a -2 since you trade 1 for 1 with the opponent. Right? But in any case the card is from 2005... Did you expect something like: Special Summon this card (from your Deck) by sending all cards your opponent controls and in their hand to the GY. Unaffected by other Card Effects. During either player's turn (Quick Effect): ,You win the Duel. Oh and Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card's effect activations. Also Negate stuff... can't be destroyed or targeted, Summon can't be negated etc.. cause why not. But seriously though its obviously some stupid thing used in the anime probably once and they adapted it into the actual OCG/TCG trying to keep the effect as close as possible.
@@wyomingptt -1 for Bubbleman, -1 For Metamorphosis, -1 for Neo Bubble, -1 for Bubble Blaster. The combo is a -4 to card advantage. Without Bubble Blaster it's still -3.
That "reset your deck" feature of Localized Tornado is very good in Duel Links, where decks are often kept as close to 20 cards as possible, so deck-out strategies are rampant.

I expected to see “Larvae Moth” on this list, you need 2 specific cards to survive on the field for 2 of your turns just to get out a 500 ATK monster with no effect other than its summoning condition
TheDuelLogs is that kind of yugituber that can go from "top 10 light machine fusion monsters that don't require a fusion spell" to "top 10 worst cards ever" in the span of 1 video
Its interesting how some cards that are the worst cards of all time actually end up finding uses in duel links. Like shiens spy and now localized tornado with the stall anti-meta f2p deck.
Self mummification definitely has some niche uses. For example, saving a card from being banished or stopping your opponent from taking control of your monster.
Localized Tornado was used in a troll stall deck in duel links. kalin kesslar has a skill that let's you draw 2 cards during each drawphase at the cost of starting with 0 cards in your hand. So the skill is a -4 but if you last long enough you start to plus. Basically you would just play stall cards like winged kuriboh and rainbow life. The problem is you are going to deck out before your opponent since you draw 2 cards every turn. Localized tornado makes your opponent deck out before you. The skill will gain you so much advantage that the - on localized tornado doesn't matter.
The joke about wallshadow is that the animeeffect actually was that of a defensive attacker. Basically, the stonewall as a monster was used as the battlearena because season1 came up with a lot of nonsense-gimmicks like that because the story was written before the cardgame was made. The shadowmonster was fused into the wall with poly to create wallshadow and it was able to attack without having to fear having to actually engage its opponents. It just baffles me that they failed to retain the one part of that whole duel that would have made sense in the actual ruleset.
@@jatabo1574 Gate Guardian especially. Like you give up 3 monsters with identical and okish effects for a beatstick with no effect beyond its summoning conditions.
Localized Tornado was actually used in Duel Links, since stall over there has been very prevalent throughout it's history. But there's actually a skill that allows you to draw 2 cards from your deck every turn if you start the game with 1 card in your hand. And you tend to gain advantage really fast in that stall deck. So just resetting before you deck out isn't much of an issue.
The only way that I see Pot of Generosity being beneficial is if your opponent is using a deck-thinning strategy (like Bakura in dawn of the duel), and you need to buy yourself more time.
Not ONLY was Dark Artist power-crept when the first TCG set came out, it wasn’t even included in that first set. The west didn’t get Dark Artist until 2014!
So, a friend of mine made a localized tornado deck and it is one of the best decks I’ve ever seen. He runs all out assault and the basic strategy is to run cards that excavate low level monsters from your deck out onto the field face down, to then flip then with all out assault, getting their flip effect and continuously repeating this with localized tornado after the low level monsters die to tribute summons and other board wipe effects. It’s amazing, it won’t always win, but I have lost to it before.
It FEELS like it something just a bit DIFFERENT from that Advantage: I draw Disadvantage: I Discard Anti-Advantage: Opponent draws so I can steal/destroy his cards
Localized tornado is so good with Tea and her surprise present in Duel Links, and can save you in self mill decks. Also, it is so fun to watch it happen.
I used to run localized tornado in an old stall/grindy deck. There was nothing like flipping it when my opponent and I were both 2 or 3 cards from decking out and seeing their reactions.
@@Supernat98 uh, if i remember correctly that's not how the rules work, a card can't activate it's effects if it got shuffled into the deck. It's like, for an example, a Krawler monster not floating after getting shuffled back into the deck by Knightmare Unicorn even tho it left the field while face-up.
I've used localized tornado in a Jowgen Final Countdown deck. There was something really fun about my opponent thinking that I'll deck out first and activating it on their end phase and ending up with basically a full deck. After that I'd activate a previously set Necrovalley so they couldn't recycle cards if they could. It was a frustrating slog of a deck and if I played the game irl I'd get my teeth punched in and I'd deserve it, lmao.
Still better cards to use, especially when Infernity’s want cards in the graveyard over back in the deck. Phantom Hand is good enough most of the time, especially if there’s some hand traps you need to keep.
You can make a Wall Shadow in the PS2 game Duelist of the Roses having a Shadow Ghoul walk into a Labyrinth Wall Terain which gives it the effect of begin the only monster in the game that can walk over Labyrinth Wall Terain walls.
In a yet another depressive period of my life-this time because of an injury-your videos are immensely helpful for getting through. Thank you for your interest in the game and hard work.
Cold snap is used for canceling out negative effects in cards. Although niche, you could use cards like Aegis of Gaia. You can gain 3000 LP, then activate cold snap to cancel the 3000 damage you would take. This can also combo with call of the haunted, birthright, ect.
I feel like Wall Shadow would’ve been a lot better as a ritual monster of some kind. It would still need a good effect, like being able to attack from defense position and maybe banishing a target.
In the anime, I'm pretty sure it was a fusion of Labyrinth Wall and Shadow Ghoul. So easy solution to massively improve it: just let it keep Shadow Ghoul's effect.
Honestly, the most flavorful way to do it would be if the magic card used to summon wallshadow would just summon a shadow ghoul equipped to the wall that would act as a different creature which can't be attacked as long as the wall is still standing.
Must now add "An Unfortunate Report" to my timelord deck since I'm already running Savage Colosseum and could get a few of their effects off twice per turn
this honestly makes me curious what kind of shenanigans Mystical Refpanel can do and if a situation where it will become good for a trap card will ever come up.
I thought self mummification would at least activate effects that say “if this monster is sent to the graveyard” instead of explicitly destroyed. So in my Doom Dozer bug deck, it’s my understanding that I could potentially use self mummification to send Resonance Insect to the grave and then use it’s effect to add Doom Dozer to my hand.
I don't think I've seen a comment mention the trap card called "Relay Soul". You can special summon a monster, but when the monster leaves the field, you lose the duel.
There are ways to make that actually really good, if you choose jowgen the spiritualist your opponent can't special summon so you just win. There's probably other ways to get around it.
@@masync183 Jowgen would absolutely not help you win with Relay Soul. You would basically hinge your entire survival on a 1300 body that has no protection. Literally, one of the normal summonable combo-pieces could win you the game on it's own at that point. Not to mention all other, non monster outs. Destruction with Lightning Storm or Raigeki, getting negated by Droplet or Ruler No More, etc. It'd be fine of you used a stall strategy, except the thing needs to be Summoned from hand and Jowgen has limited options for searching that a stall deck would want to invest in. Even in that case, it would be much better to summon Jowgen with literally any card that didn't make you lose on the spot.
Ahhh, I remember Swordsman From a Distant Land! Used him a bit in Duelist of Roses. In that game he destroyed whatever card attacked it instantly, so it's a lot better, especially given the 'movement' system the game ran on where monsters had to literally move into each other on a board to attack, so he's great for removing a dangerous monster like a Blue Eyes or the like. Wall Shadow was cool too- just move a Shadow Sneak onto a Labyrinth space, and it transforms and you get a cool defensive wall.
I feel like self mummification could be useful as a counterplay side deck card against certain cards that gives you an opponent card and a game state that prevent it to be used in any kind of special summon
I used localized tornado in my first duel links deck,I think it’s pretty useful for when the battle has been drawn out long enough and you and your opponent got 2 cards to draw,So you use localized tornado to basically reset while the opponent might lose because of not being able to draw. Or when i used my trap cards,localized tornado would just give all my lost trap and spells back to me.
What about The Cheerful Coffin? I know setting up the graveyard is nice and good, but at the cost of up to three cards from the hand (four if you count the card itself) is very steep.
Remember in duel links when Localized tornado was actually good cuz of the One Card Wonder skill and this trap made an infinite game until your opponent decks out
I feel like localized tornado and pot of generosity *could* be potentially beneficial if you are using something like morphing jar or card destruction. during the attack, you could send your hand and graveyard back to the deck before the attack goes through without negating the attack and flip of morphing jar itself. and you would be able to send 2 of your cards back to the deck instead of having them all sent to the graveyard beforehand with pot of generosity. worth all the effort? no, probably not, but there's at least a potential self benefit without having to flip them on your opponent. awesome video by the way 🙏
The Humble Sentry is actually pretty good, if you use it to get rid of a piece of Exodia and then still win anyway your opponent would rage quit the next game.
It's funny that when mentioning the defense attackers while talking about Wall Shadow, you didn't mention the Superheavy Samurai, an entire whose entire gimmick is attacking with their defense points
fun fact: there's a card called "Jar Robber" that is completely unplayable because its effect requires your opponent to play pot of greed, which is banned.
I always loved Volcanic Rat simply cause I thought it was adorable. At least it was usable with Blaze Accelerator but man I really wish it did something, or at least had decent Defense :(
Actually Cold Feet has great synergy with cards such as Cybernetic Zone. Activate Cybernetic Zone during your opponent's End phase to remove whatever machine-type fusion monster you got, have it return instantly to the field with 2x the atk and immediately activate Cold Feet at the beginning of your turn to prevent your fusion monster's destruction & allow it to permanently keep that 2x atk bonus. No other card name comes to mind, but I know there are a lot of cards with effects or cost happening during the standbyphase (such as paying X life points) - this card skips the cost Its a niche card but definitely not a bad card
isn't Self-Mummification actually a good card? Considering a lot of cards now have the effect of "can't be destroyed by card effects" or "can't be tributed"... Localized Tornado would be OP in rush duels. It's also playable in Madolche and other decks that rely on empty graveyards.
@@dracometeors3010 Maybe not in a sweaty pro game, but it can definitely happen in regular games if you play gimmick decks. I've actually used Localized Tornado in a gimmick deck where I just draw a shitload of cards every turn to power up Slifer and I could deck myself out in 2-3 turns. That was several years ago though, and obviously not competitive.
Just one thing: Localized Tornado can turn useful in a highly toxic deck where the strategy is to destroy the opponent's deck. Cards like "Jar of Greed" allow you to return 5 cards from GY to the deck + draw one, but they can't return themself from GY. So Localized Tornado can be used to return 3 copies of Jar of Greed to the deck (plus all the GY and hand), which if used correctly basically allows you an infinite deck loop
Hey now. Let's not forget the card in the original series that allowed dark magician to change places with another monster to bypass wall shadow and beat the paradox brothers.
Both humble sentry and pot of generosity can be good insurance for cards that have to be used in the deck in case they’re drawn, and localized tornado hard-counters mill decks.
There is a skill in duel link where opponent can give you a set spell/trap but you cannot see it, me being a dummy activated it and it was localized tornado... on 2nd turn.
I did use Localized Tornado for Master Duel event. That was first Extra Deck event and people are banned from using Link monster. But Konami did let Fire Prison out, so i take it as advantage as 1/2 Mystic Mine. I negate all monster eff, played Appropriate and and bunch of draw cards to force all players draw cards, then finally use Localized Tornado to reset my deck since i always got deck out first. Without 2 Localized Tornado, i could not use that strategy.
Funnily enough, Swordsman From a Distant Land and Zone Eater were in the starter deck in the GBC game Dark Duel Stories as normal monsters. I actually use Localized Tornado for my Exodia deck. My board is typically good enough to last a few turns without any support in the hand.
Pot of generosity was used heavily 9 years ago in invoker decks. The tornado can be used in lightsworn decks to reset your deck and prevent you from milling out, and depending on your field you'll be milling at the end of your turn anyways.
He doesn't go over it in this Video other than a throwaway line, but he did mention in another Video where he brought up Pot of Generosity that it technically atleast has the advantage that unlike Magical Mallet, there isn't a chance to immediately draw the Card(s) you just put back into your Deck. Granted, that's still no reason to actually use Pot over Mallet, but it's there I guess.
With localized tornado if you have no cards in your hand and your about to lose to a deck out you could potentially make use of it but that is a super specific scenario that doesn’t really work to well
I use unfortunate report to attack 3 times in my Valkyrie deck. Use combo to search the combo pieces your missing and vfd ( so they can't do much). summon your whole hand with ride of the valks attack twice by triggering there an unfortunate report then skip back to the battle phase. If they are still not dead make apollosa then if you have final light you can make something with it or just use your extra normal summons to win harder. I used the run localized tornado when I started the game (in school) because it allows me to reset my deck infinitely(unlike jar of avarice pot of avarice) ( like in hearthstone when you run dead mans hand).
@@sebarsht12 a fusion between shadow ghoul and labyrinth wall i'm guessing? Because shadow ghoul looks the same as wall shadow and their names can result in Wall shadow if combined
@@nikraa77 Correct, and because it was the first season where there were no rules, 1) When Wall Shadow got destroyed, Labyrinth Wall remains 2) When Yugi and Joey summoned Black Skull Dragon, they didn't/couldn't attack the Labyrinth Wall.
@@sebarsht12 not sure if i ever saw the full duel, but as far as i remember the monster could only move 1tile for each level they had per turn through the labyrinth, but wall shadow could move freely and ,like you said, could attack others without being targetable for attacks itself
i used to play around with this FTK deck that literally only needed to get Isolde out, but had about 15 garnets... so i un-ironically played Pot of Generosity to put them back into the deck since you only needed 2-3 cards in your hand to start the combo.
I actually relied a lot on ‘Localized Tornado’ in Duel Generations. After using up my hand, I can recover cards I’ve used up and by having a second one, I can reclaim the previous one.
localized tornado slander. i use it all the time. best used as you'r being attacked. activate it then allow morphin jar to pop off. get a full deck and a full hand.
List got me thinking if they’ve ever errata’d cards for the better. Like why don’t they go back now and make Neo Bubbleman or Armed Dragon lvl 10 able to be summoned from the deck instead of needing them in hand only? Assuming they’d consider it opening a can of worms/setting a time consuming precedent, but just make some rule like the card needs to have existed 5 years before it can get a beneficial errata.
They have, but only very early in the OCG, both decided before the TCG was released. Polymerization’s original OCG print didn’t actually say what it does and its actual effect was instead part of the rules and the rules required you to have both material on your field (which made it utterly useless since none of the fusion cards or their materials were worth running and it was a negative in field advantage). When the “Expert Rules” (where tribute summon is a thing) came out a couple of months in, they took advantage of this to allow using cards in your hand to fusion summon. The Expert Rule effect was eventually put on the card when it finally started saying what it did. (Between these two there was a small change in wording, and that version is what the TCG’s first print of poly in LoBEWD was based off of, but it didn’t make any functional change I’m aware of.) Toon World originally had an optional maintenance cost of 500 LP, but you got it back when the card was sent to the graveyard (Yes, it explicitly says graveyard and Giant Trunade WAS in the game then). This lasted a little under two years as when it was reprinted in the Pegasus Structure Deck (released just after the TCG became a thing and certainly decided before the TCG's release) it lost the maintenance requirement and LP refund.
I didn't realize localized tornado can be kind of a plan B for decks that rely on final countdown and stalling. I don't think I'd do it. However, that's still more use for the player using the card than I thought I'd see.
I use 3 Localized Tornado in my Empty Jar deck to make sure I dont deck out and can recycle handtraps and flip monsters. Its actually stupid good in that deck.
Idea for a new mechanic. You get a special effect on a card trigger when it is revealed to your opponent without getting played. Optionally explain to your opponent what the card does to be able to use this effect. I am pretty sure that the pot of greed could be a perfect card for this new effect. In example: " I play the pot of reveal! When this card is revealed and its effect explained I can draw 2 cards!" and proceed to draw two card.
Pot of Generosity is the kind of card the anime would make up a fake card for just do it could be used. Kaiba: (Draws card) I activate Hand Plague. Once drawn, this card is placed in the opponent's hand. Not only can you not play it to the field, if it's the only card in your hand at any point, you lose. Now Yugi, it's your move. Yami Yugi: Not so fast Kaiba, I activate Pot of Generosity. This lets me return 2 cards in my hand to the deck and one of those is your Hand Plague, returning it to your deck and leaving me safe from its effect.
The Humble Sentry is actually really good in my Wall Shadow deck, it lets me shuffle it back in if I ever draw it. garnet-be-gone!
I tend to use Pot of Generosity for those times that I draw two Wall Shadows. Both are valid solutions though

The only way that I see Pot of Generosity being beneficial is if your opponent is using a deck-thinning strategy (like Bakura in dawn of the duel), and you need to buy yourself more time.
...but then just run localized tornado instead? That buys you a LOT more time.
Not ONLY was Dark Artist power-crept when the first TCG set came out, it wasn’t even included in that first set.
The west didn’t get Dark Artist until 2014!
Wait, what?
@@Cameytoe yep, it was converted to TCG Legal on LVAL (Legacy of Valiant), and was OCG Exclusive for more than 10 years

So, a friend of mine made a localized tornado deck and it is one of the best decks I’ve ever seen. He runs all out assault and the basic strategy is to run cards that excavate low level monsters from your deck out onto the field face down, to then flip then with all out assault, getting their flip effect and continuously repeating this with localized tornado after the low level monsters die to tribute summons and other board wipe effects. It’s amazing, it won’t always win, but I have lost to it before.
Anti-Advantage? You are looking for the word "Disadvantage."
It FEELS like it something just a bit DIFFERENT from that
Advantage: I draw
Disadvantage: I Discard
Anti-Advantage: Opponent draws so I can steal/destroy his cards
Localized tornado is so good with Tea and her surprise present in Duel Links, and can save you in self mill decks. Also, it is so fun to watch it happen.
I used to run localized tornado in an old stall/grindy deck. There was nothing like flipping it when my opponent and I were both 2 or 3 cards from decking out and seeing their reactions.
One day, they will make an archtype where cards get effect from being shuffled into the deck so localized tornado will let you go +30
It already exists, its the maldoche archtype
@@Supernat98 uh, if i remember correctly that's not how the rules work, a card can't activate it's effects if it got shuffled into the deck. It's like, for an example, a Krawler monster not floating after getting shuffled back into the deck by Knightmare Unicorn even tho it left the field while face-up.

I've used localized tornado in a Jowgen Final Countdown deck. There was something really fun about my opponent thinking that I'll deck out first and activating it on their end phase and ending up with basically a full deck.
After that I'd activate a previously set Necrovalley so they couldn't recycle cards if they could.
It was a frustrating slog of a deck and if I played the game irl I'd get my teeth punched in and I'd deserve it, lmao.
Mystical Refpanel and Bait Doll: I'm about to start this man's whole career!
Techically Pot of Generosity and Humble Sentry can be used in a Infernity deck, as the deck only works with 0 cards in hand
Still better cards to use, especially when Infernity’s want cards in the graveyard over back in the deck. Phantom Hand is good enough most of the time, especially if there’s some hand traps you need to keep.
@@motodog242 Yeah, but this is what the character means when they say no cards are useless. Even if it's outclassed by others, it still has uses.
You can make a Wall Shadow in the PS2 game Duelist of the Roses having a Shadow Ghoul walk into a Labyrinth Wall Terain which gives it the effect of begin the only monster in the game that can walk over Labyrinth Wall Terain walls.
Labyrinth tank could also do that. Duelist of the Roses is a great game.
In a yet another depressive period of my life-this time because of an injury-your videos are immensely helpful for getting through. Thank you for your interest in the game and hard work.
Cold snap is used for canceling out negative effects in cards. Although niche, you could use cards like Aegis of Gaia. You can gain 3000 LP, then activate cold snap to cancel the 3000 damage you would take. This can also combo with call of the haunted, birthright, ect.
...how does it combo with call of the haunted?
I feel like Wall Shadow would’ve been a lot better as a ritual monster of some kind. It would still need a good effect, like being able to attack from defense position and maybe banishing a target.
In the anime, I'm pretty sure it was a fusion of Labyrinth Wall and Shadow Ghoul. So easy solution to massively improve it: just let it keep Shadow Ghoul's effect.
Honestly, the most flavorful way to do it would be if the magic card used to summon wallshadow would just summon a shadow ghoul equipped to the wall that would act as a different creature which can't be attacked as long as the wall is still standing.
It came out at a time when stuff like that wouldve been super insane and broken

as an avid listener, the piano in the background certainly makes the video a lot better, well done my man, also really good voice
this honestly makes me curious what kind of shenanigans Mystical Refpanel can do and if a situation where it will become good for a trap card will ever come up.
I thought self mummification would at least activate effects that say “if this monster is sent to the graveyard” instead of explicitly destroyed.
So in my Doom Dozer bug deck, it’s my understanding that I could potentially use self mummification to send Resonance Insect to the grave and then use it’s effect to add Doom Dozer to my hand.
Luffy is pretty cool
Has anyone pulled off zone eater's destruction effect, ever?
I actually have!!!
Back when it was new
I pulled off swordsman's effect in a game. It was part of a proto trophy like system to actually resolve its effect.
I did. Only one time and that was when the card first came out.
The only way I can see that card effect being used nowadays is on a deck with a bunch of floodgates like mask of restrict and summon limit
@@_rumia or just speed up the process with Pyro Clock of Destiny
I don't think I've seen a comment mention the trap card called "Relay Soul". You can special summon a monster, but when the monster leaves the field, you lose the duel.
There are ways to make that actually really good, if you choose jowgen the spiritualist your opponent can't special summon so you just win. There's probably other ways to get around it.
@@masync183
Jowgen would absolutely not help you win with Relay Soul. You would basically hinge your entire survival on a 1300 body that has no protection. Literally, one of the normal summonable combo-pieces could win you the game on it's own at that point.
Not to mention all other, non monster outs. Destruction with Lightning Storm or Raigeki, getting negated by Droplet or Ruler No More, etc. It'd be fine of you used a stall strategy, except the thing needs to be Summoned from hand and Jowgen has limited options for searching that a stall deck would want to invest in. Even in that case, it would be much better to summon Jowgen with literally any card that didn't make you lose on the spot.
I used to use Relay Soul in combination with Stand-Off to create a nearly unbreakable lockdown.
I run all these cards in my deck.
-Joey Wheeler, probably
finally a worthy rival
Ahhh, I remember Swordsman From a Distant Land! Used him a bit in Duelist of Roses. In that game he destroyed whatever card attacked it instantly, so it's a lot better, especially given the 'movement' system the game ran on where monsters had to literally move into each other on a board to attack, so he's great for removing a dangerous monster like a Blue Eyes or the like.
Wall Shadow was cool too- just move a Shadow Sneak onto a Labyrinth space, and it transforms and you get a cool defensive wall.
I feel like self mummification could be useful as a counterplay side deck card against certain cards that gives you an opponent card and a game state that prevent it to be used in any kind of special summon
I used localized tornado in my first duel links deck,I think it’s pretty useful for when the battle has been drawn out long enough and you and your opponent got 2 cards to draw,So you use localized tornado to basically reset while the opponent might lose because of not being able to draw.
Or when i used my trap cards,localized tornado would just give all my lost trap and spells back to me.
What about The Cheerful Coffin? I know setting up the graveyard is nice and good, but at the cost of up to three cards from the hand (four if you count the card itself) is very steep.
there's probably a lot of cards that activate when sent to the graveyard by card effect.
But that's a good effect and better than the first card on the list
that is already better then Zone Eater tho. Cause cards like the danger or darkworlds exist.
Can't you use that in dark world's?
Also I am pretty sure the steep cost is still better than zone eater and samurai
@@number-qx1kw yes, it will trigger the dark world effects
Remember in duel links when Localized tornado was actually good cuz of the One Card Wonder skill and this trap made an infinite game until your opponent decks out
Localized Tornado: “I know I’m terrible, but Duel Links players hate me”
R.I.P One Card Wonder
someone actually tried that localized tornado stall on me in duel links. I still won, but my god was that annoying
But I can use Pot of Generosity to return my dead Metalzoa in hand back to my deck so I can bring out a 3k beater with it's effect! /s
I feel like localized tornado and pot of generosity *could* be potentially beneficial if you are using something like morphing jar or card destruction.
during the attack, you could send your hand and graveyard back to the deck before the attack goes through without negating the attack and flip of morphing jar itself.
and you would be able to send 2 of your cards back to the deck instead of having them all sent to the graveyard beforehand with pot of generosity.
worth all the effort? no, probably not, but there's at least a potential self benefit without having to flip them on your opponent.
awesome video by the way 🙏

It's funny that when mentioning the defense attackers while talking about Wall Shadow, you didn't mention the Superheavy Samurai, an entire whose entire gimmick is attacking with their defense points
I would like of you did " top archetypes throughout the years " that would be awesome!!
fun fact: there's a card called "Jar Robber" that is completely unplayable because its effect requires your opponent to play pot of greed, which is banned.
*puts volcanic rat on the list
I think Volcanic rat actually had high stats for a level 1 normal at 500, which technically make it the ideal target for summoning Zushin!
@@coolkidsclub9943When someone adds logic to your satire comment
It works with Volcanic cards
I hope that Axel Brodie gets a voice line for this card in duel links
I always loved Volcanic Rat simply cause I thought it was adorable. At least it was usable with Blaze Accelerator but man I really wish it did something, or at least had decent Defense :(
Actually Cold Feet has great synergy with cards such as Cybernetic Zone.
Activate Cybernetic Zone during your opponent's End phase to remove whatever machine-type fusion monster you got, have it return instantly to the field with 2x the atk
and immediately activate Cold Feet at the beginning of your turn to prevent your fusion monster's destruction & allow it to permanently keep that 2x atk bonus.
No other card name comes to mind, but I know there are a lot of cards with effects or cost happening during the standbyphase (such as paying X life points) - this card skips the cost
Its a niche card but definitely not a bad card
pretty much every card on this list has some niche use. that doesn't make it not bad.
Would it work like World Suppression against Orichalcos?
Localized Tornado was MVP in this deck utilizing Appropriate to deck out the other player.
isn't Self-Mummification actually a good card?
Considering a lot of cards now have the effect of "can't be destroyed by card effects" or "can't be tributed"...
Localized Tornado would be OP in rush duels.
It's also playable in Madolche and other decks that rely on empty graveyards.
Localized tornado has some use if you wanna prevent a deckout.
That will never happen.
@@dracometeors3010 Maybe not in a sweaty pro game, but it can definitely happen in regular games if you play gimmick decks. I've actually used Localized Tornado in a gimmick deck where I just draw a shitload of cards every turn to power up Slifer and I could deck myself out in 2-3 turns. That was several years ago though, and obviously not competitive.
Just one thing: Localized Tornado can turn useful in a highly toxic deck where the strategy is to destroy the opponent's deck. Cards like "Jar of Greed" allow you to return 5 cards from GY to the deck + draw one, but they can't return themself from GY. So Localized Tornado can be used to return 3 copies of Jar of Greed to the deck (plus all the GY and hand), which if used correctly basically allows you an infinite deck loop
At least Wall Shadow is a Warrior so he has a lot of support
Despite the monster it is based "Shadow Ghoul" is a Field.

Hey now. Let's not forget the card in the original series that allowed dark magician to change places with another monster to bypass wall shadow and beat the paradox brothers.
Localized tornado was used in Duel Links a few years ago when Rainbow Life and Hallowed Life Barrier stall deck was good and not on the ban list
Honestly seems like it would be pretty funny to win with a ftk with unfortunate report and forcing your opponent to crash kill themselves
Really hard to pull of though
@@MaxLeCnkerant that's what makes it funnnnnn
How maliciously fiendish and devilish.
Both humble sentry and pot of generosity can be good insurance for cards that have to be used in the deck in case they’re drawn, and localized tornado hard-counters mill decks.
There is a skill in duel link where opponent can give you a set spell/trap but you cannot see it, me being a dummy activated it and it was localized tornado... on 2nd turn.
It’s even worse for dark artist. Early OCG rules didn’t include tributes for high level monsters
I did use Localized Tornado for Master Duel event. That was first Extra Deck event and people are banned from using Link monster. But Konami did let Fire Prison out, so i take it as advantage as 1/2 Mystic Mine. I negate all monster eff, played Appropriate and and bunch of draw cards to force all players draw cards, then finally use Localized Tornado to reset my deck since i always got deck out first. Without 2 Localized Tornado, i could not use that strategy.
@theduellogs you missed solomon's lawbook,where it's effect is simply skip your own standby phase
Play localized tornado in infernity for the meme
These lists really bring to light the terribleness of the Paradox Brothers’ deck(s).
Funnily enough, Swordsman From a Distant Land and Zone Eater were in the starter deck in the GBC game Dark Duel Stories as normal monsters. I actually use Localized Tornado for my Exodia deck. My board is typically good enough to last a few turns without any support in the hand.
And they were terrible when I used them against anyone other than Tristan.
Pot of generosity was used heavily 9 years ago in invoker decks.
The tornado can be used in lightsworn decks to reset your deck and prevent you from milling out, and depending on your field you'll be milling at the end of your turn anyways.
you draw a garnet you REALLLY dont want in your hand, pot of generosity saves the day
You forgot the trap card: the gift of greed:your opponent draws 2 cards.
I think this card should have a spot in this list.
One day, they will make an archtype where cards get effect from being shuffled into the deck so localized tornado will let you go +30
*Maldoche*
The lightswarn find it ultra usefull. Especially with the card that banishes cards from your opponents deck.
Swordsman From a Distant Land is at least pretty cool from it's effect mirroring the "swordsman cuts something and it only falls apart later" thing
The only use I can see for Pot of Generosity is to put your "Garnets" back into the deck. But we have Reload and Magical Mallet to help that along.
He doesn't go over it in this Video other than a throwaway line, but he did mention in another Video where he brought up Pot of Generosity that it technically atleast has the advantage that unlike Magical Mallet, there isn't a chance to immediately draw the Card(s) you just put back into your Deck.
Granted, that's still no reason to actually use Pot over Mallet, but it's there I guess.
8:53 did he just call yubel “juicy”?
No homo
With localized tornado if you have no cards in your hand and your about to lose to a deck out you could potentially make use of it but that is a super specific scenario that doesn’t really work to well
I use unfortunate report to attack 3 times in my Valkyrie deck.
Use combo to search the combo pieces your missing and vfd ( so they can't do much).
summon your whole hand with ride of the valks attack twice by triggering there an unfortunate report then skip back to the battle phase. If they are still not dead make apollosa then if you have final light you can make something with it or just use your extra normal summons to win harder.
I used the run localized tornado when I started the game (in school) because it allows me to reset my deck infinitely(unlike jar of avarice pot of avarice) ( like in hearthstone when you run dead mans hand).
Then again into the void with magical rift panel works a lot better.
I remember that wall shadow in the anime.
Remember that Wall Shadow in the anime was a fusion monster
@@sebarsht12 a fusion between shadow ghoul and labyrinth wall i'm guessing? Because shadow ghoul looks the same as wall shadow and their names can result in Wall shadow if combined
@@nikraa77 Correct, and because it was the first season where there were no rules,
1) When Wall Shadow got destroyed, Labyrinth Wall remains
2) When Yugi and Joey summoned Black Skull Dragon, they didn't/couldn't attack the Labyrinth Wall.
@@sebarsht12 not sure if i ever saw the full duel, but as far as i remember the monster could only move 1tile for each level they had per turn through the labyrinth, but wall shadow could move freely and ,like you said, could attack others without being targetable for attacks itself
And Red-Eyes couldn't get around without flying? Too big to fit in the maze?
i used to play around with this FTK deck that literally only needed to get Isolde out, but had about 15 garnets... so i un-ironically played Pot of Generosity to put them back into the deck since you only needed 2-3 cards in your hand to start the combo.
I like localized tornado due to its recycle effect
I actually relied a lot on ‘Localized Tornado’ in Duel Generations. After using up my hand, I can recover cards I’ve used up and by having a second one, I can reclaim the previous one.
localized tornado slander. i use it all the time. best used as you'r being attacked. activate it then allow morphin jar to pop off. get a full deck and a full hand.
5 turns were realistic back then :D
List got me thinking if they’ve ever errata’d cards for the better. Like why don’t they go back now and make Neo Bubbleman or Armed Dragon lvl 10 able to be summoned from the deck instead of needing them in hand only?
Assuming they’d consider it opening a can of worms/setting a time consuming precedent, but just make some rule like the card needs to have existed 5 years before it can get a beneficial errata.
They have, but only very early in the OCG, both decided before the TCG was released.
Polymerization’s original OCG print didn’t actually say what it does and its actual effect was instead part of the rules and the rules required you to have both material on your field (which made it utterly useless since none of the fusion cards or their materials were worth running and it was a negative in field advantage). When the “Expert Rules” (where tribute summon is a thing) came out a couple of months in, they took advantage of this to allow using cards in your hand to fusion summon. The Expert Rule effect was eventually put on the card when it finally started saying what it did. (Between these two there was a small change in wording, and that version is what the TCG’s first print of poly in LoBEWD was based off of, but it didn’t make any functional change I’m aware of.)
Toon World originally had an optional maintenance cost of 500 LP, but you got it back when the card was sent to the graveyard (Yes, it explicitly says graveyard and Giant Trunade WAS in the game then). This lasted a little under two years as when it was reprinted in the Pegasus Structure Deck (released just after the TCG became a thing and certainly decided before the TCG's release) it lost the maintenance requirement and LP refund.
I didn't realize localized tornado can be kind of a plan B for decks that rely on final countdown and stalling. I don't think I'd do it. However, that's still more use for the player using the card than I thought I'd see.
I use 3 Localized Tornado in my Empty Jar deck to make sure I dont deck out and can recycle handtraps and flip monsters. Its actually stupid good in that deck.
6:27 someone say SHS?
TheDuelLogs did. LOL
Idea for a new mechanic. You get a special effect on a card trigger when it is revealed to your opponent without getting played. Optionally explain to your opponent what the card does to be able to use this effect. I am pretty sure that the pot of greed could be a perfect card for this new effect. In example: " I play the pot of reveal! When this card is revealed and its effect explained I can draw 2 cards!" and proceed to draw two card.
Pot of Generosity is the kind of card the anime would make up a fake card for just do it could be used.
Kaiba: (Draws card) I activate Hand Plague. Once drawn, this card is placed in the opponent's hand. Not only can you not play it to the field, if it's the only card in your hand at any point, you lose. Now Yugi, it's your move.
Yami Yugi: Not so fast Kaiba, I activate Pot of Generosity. This lets me return 2 cards in my hand to the deck and one of those is your Hand Plague, returning it to your deck and leaving me safe from its effect.
