It should be a simple and powerful effect, like pot of greed "Draw 2 cards". I think it could be something like "Chose a monster, that target can attack your opponent directly this turn". It should be a generic card, not an archetype one.
I mean if you think about it the card isn't super terrible when you realize it's called 'checkmate' because you're supposed to use it to win when your opponent only has 2000 life points or less and has a problematic board, and it allows you to jump over it and win the duel if in the right circumstances
@@oscareduardojuarez1588 That's what I fucking hate about Links. They only have ONE position, therefore if you get interrupted on summoning a high level creature and are stuck with a 1400 link-2, unless you have backups and the opponent can't OTK, you're getting fucked for a sinful amount of damage.
10 - Hiertic Seal of the Sun Dragon Overlord - Good target for Trade-in, can be run in deck thinning strategies........ 9 - Vijam the cubic seed - Can't be destroyed by battle, prevents the attacking monster from attacking or using its effect......... 8 - Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll - Best card for "Gimmick Puppet"s, Level 8 with Graveyard recursion..... 7 - Swift scarecrow / Battle fader - Both prevent your opponent from direct attacking you and end the Battle phase..... 6 - Unknown Synchron - Level 1 Tuner that can once per Duel SS itself if you have no monsters....... 5 - Tune Magician/ Tuning Magician - One's a Scale 8 and Level 4 Tuner, One's a Level 1 Tuner that's searchable in a Pendulum Magician Deck....... 4 - Tyrunt Neptune - Copies ATK, DEF, Level and effect of monster used to Tribute Summon it, currently banned due to use in FTKs....... 3 - Wightprince - (personal bias) Playmaker of the Skull Servant deck.

Charmiskit I don’t think that counts. The main reason it’s played is due to its effect, which can kill handtraps and give information on the opponent. Still nice suggestion
Frank West Sabersaurus and Kabazauls because of Dino-Rabbits, Abyss Undyne because of Mermails, Night Assailant because of Tour Guide, Fusionist/Darkfire Dragon because of Instant Fusion
pretty cool idea honestly, some of the relative obvious picks imo could be: w nebula meteorite (although it doesnt mention worms specifically it certainly is a worm card), Divine Winds of Mist Valley / Mist Valley Apex Avian, whichever Ice Barrier and Naturia Extra Deck monsters you want honestly except Leodrake i guess, if Umi counts as an Archetype (which would make it a pretty bad archetype tbh) the two Daedalus are quite devastating etc etc...
I forget what it is but there's cards that require a discard every turn. If u use your whole hand for whatever reason, that makes it so ure hand empty every turn. Unicore effect requires u to have equal hands size with ure opponent but in exchange it stops pretty much everything. It's almost impossible to have this unless u make a deck around it
@@magicmanscott40k There's a 5000 attack monster that requires you to ditch your hand in every standby phase, and I think it doesn't let you use any effects either...
Rocket Arrow Express. All of the Chess Archfiend monsters have stupid maintenance costs, too, although they were the first cards to have some level of inherent protection (from targeting) and Pandemonium removed the costs.
Level Mod will work milling Horus 8. The issue you brought up only applies if the monster says "Must first be special summoned by...". If it doesn't say that, "ignoring summoning conditions" effects work on it all the time.
10 Cards that were given different effects in the Anime/Movies and required because plot. For example, Power Bond can't do its effect damage if the Fusion Monster summoned with its effect isn't on the field during the end phase.
@@patirck024 And anytime Zane couldn't win in that turn, he dispelled his Cyber End Dragon. When he couldn't de-fuse CED in his battle against Possessed Jesse, he took 4000 damage and lost. He also used that same mechanic against the Shadow Riders and Jaden.
@@patirck024 You have totally missed the point of what I've said. The point is that the Anime had a slightly different effect for Power Bond compared to the actual card. Power Bond, the actual card, deals its damage no matter what. Zane, in the anime, avoids that damage by defusing Cyber End Dragon.
Why so negative you guys are a bunch of Magikarp haters huh and on a side note glad my phone had Magikarp in the swype dictionary didn't even put it there. The legend of THE GOAT lives on!!!😎😎🐠🐠🎣🐟🐡🐡
We got some bad links out there. Vorticular Drumgon, a non generic link -3 for only 1000ATK (left, down, right) and all it does is draw 1 for some forgettable restriction. Edit: if you do use that "draw" effect, the zones it points to cannot be used for the rest of that turn. It takes exactly 3 dark dragon monsters to make.
Gryphon’s Feather Duster is also powercrept by Emergency Provisions, a Quickplay Spell that lets you gain more life points (though it sends instead of destroying).
In yugioh DOTR , darkness approaches have the most broken effect ever lol. It basically let you switch all face-up cards on the field to face-down. It was sooo OP.
I like the Gamble concept. I ised to use it when I was first starting out. If they changed it so if your opponent picks the Spell/Trap that single card is sent to the GY and the other 2 stay in your hand, I would legit play it. It still wouldn't be GOOD but I'd play it.
Revoke Fusion was only Used cause Jaden was affraid to use Polymerization and used it to summon Elenmental Hero Bladedge to finish off an ally of the Supreme King after Jaden was freed. Ofc will with anime ass pulls and plot amor xD Smooth move Jaden
@@AchedSphinx the idea is that he caused so much destruction and chaos when he was under the influence of the Supreme King that he had trauma from using polymerization. The problem with this asinine plot is that Neos exist, a means of fusion without Polymerization. And also the Supreme King used Dark Fusion, not Polymerization. Season 3 was fucking weird.
@@caswellweird its affected him hard. Jaden's Duel prior to that one its him vs Zane he had good hand (Clayman,Sparkman,Spark blaster,Emergency Call,Hero Barrier,Polymerzation) but didn't use it. He could'nt use other strategies because of his guilt
@@aldrinflores4531 its still really forced drama. I get feeling guilty for your actions, but if you want it to be believable dont tie it to a card that 1) wasnt the card Supreme King was using 2) isnt Jaden's only means of winning. Though to be fair season 3 was a dumpster fire the second they arrived in the desert world so its not like this consistency issue would salvage it.
@@caswellweird I mean him becoming The Supreme King in season 3 kinda came out of nowhere. Criticized ARC V all you want but it gives you a hint early on instead of waiting until your 2 seasons into the anime
Well I watch him for the honest top tens and also for his World of warcraft on his other channel, Hirumaredx. I watch Rank10YGO for when I get bored or wanna laugh at his amazing editing.
Fun fact: Darknees approach was good in Power of Chaos to cheat flip effects(also because you can run the almighty serpent), because that game doesn't have book of moon. Also Face down attack exist in that game.
I actually used to run a lvl up deck a few years ago in duel links, and I would use level modulation when I was going for the kill. It actually worked out pretty well.
Double snare now is bad but back when jinzo first came out it was a handy card to have to deal with him of you didnt have horn of heaven or solemn judgement before he was summoned
In duel link, gryphon feather is kinda essential, I always use it to remove my continus spell/trap since there can only be 3 slots for them, theres a better card named emergency provision or something like that that gives 1000 instead of 500 and a quick spell card, also its good for that weird deck where monster go to spell trap zone when destroyed instead of gy
"Dear" Konami... I beg you... add this line: "A Special Summon-only monster can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or while banished as long as it was Special Summoned properly first." to the OFFICIAL AFTER ALL Rulebook... Thank you... Your newcomer to the game player...
@@fnad7871 Yes but not every card have this line even if should. Still rules of YGO are way too confused for basically everybody. All other card game I've seen had so much more clear and easier to learn rules (Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone and more).
Perfect example. Supreme Rage. If you control Zarc. Special summon 4 skd monsters from your deck or gy. But if you send the 3 ed ones to the gy you can't special them even though the card ignores summon conditions
@@JoeyLamontagne DL:WR - Of course, because even if I didn't played that long not even once I was confused, not like in YGO what happening non stop. In MtG you don't encounter situation when card says one thing and game rules another. Wasn't playing MtG long enough but it have very constant rules not like YGO. In MtG to summon card you need specific energies in specific amount, ground units cannot attack flying unless said otherwise. That's everything simple and clear. In YGO card says "ignore summon condition" but yet you can't do that because reasons or just like SuperSayianWarrior said with his example of Zarc. Once when I was fight with my friends he put on field Chaos MAX Dragon and I put Twin Burst Dragon and after banishing his dragon they was like "Hey... it's a game bug, it cannot happen like that." and after checking google MAX Dragon vs Twin Dragon I've found that not only they were confused about battle result. NONE OTHER card game beside YGO have ANY confusing rules or situations on table. Konami if would make the game rules more clear, put intuitive (or at least intuitive enough) terms like already existing ones like: "Destroy" or "Banish" that every player after seeing it will understand it's effect. Just like in Hearthstone cards can have just SINGLE word "Taunt" and everybody know what does that means and creating confusing situation is simply impossible. And in YGO? God... NOT finding something confusing is hard.
Would Mesmeric Control be good against Morphtronics? Also when Yubel was big in DL I ran Thunder Crash in that since it was an easy-ish way to get out Terror Incarnate or Ultimate Nightmare, and Gryphon's Feather Duster miiiiight be OK if you also run backrow cards which like being destroyed, say Awakening of Nephthys or Limiter Overload (though in the latter case the benefit isn't too worth it)
Interesting bit of history with Double Snare. It actually did see a small, tiny, bit of competitive success, in two top 8 Chain Burn decks. Jasmin Gauthier would place 2nd at SJC Montreal in April of 2007 and Tomas Mijares would place in top 8 with 2 copies in the side deck at YCS San Jose in December 2006.
love the video, but worth mentioning that for "Checkmate!" im pretty sure the card is originallly from the anime. So in the anime you only start with 4000 life points. Still a bad card but its more interesting to look at it as if it was an attack for 4k damage and resolving it twice would be game, again still a terrible card but more fun to look at it in an anime context.
Could you do a video on the effectiveness/usefulness of each summoning mechanic? "How good is Fusion summoning? Why is it good or bad?" And follow a format like that for all the mechanics. It would also be interesting to include a past and present perspective of their usefulness. "How good was synchro summoning when it first came out? And how good is it today in the current meta?"
i think that this is how you can use level modulation: step one: get a high level monster out on the feild step two: use said powerful monster in a special summon using polimerization to summon something more powerful, like blue eyes ultimate dragon. step three: use level modulation to bring back your blue eyes that you tributed.
ik this comment is 3 years old but actually the issue here would be that blue eyes isnt a level monster, the card only works for monsters that have the text "level_" in them
I run a LV deck, and I find that level modulation helps getting spell counters on my Silent Magician LV4 to boost it's ATK faster, as it gains one every time my opponent draws a card.(+500 ATK per counter) So it's at 2500 ATK by my opponents next standby phase. 2 counters from the modulation and 1 from their draw phase.
The archfiend would work against my friend because he had a deck that was basically all flip effects when the monster is attacked do a certain amount damage to you and most of them couldn't be destroyed by battle so we always ended up just placing monsters in defense mode turn after turn after turn
About "Darkness Approaches", the only time it was good was in "Sacred Cards" and "Reshef of Destruction", since in both games it had a different effect and the card games had slightly different rules compared to the TCG/OCG.
Thunder Crash is also realy well in Duel Links in my Yubel Deck. It gives the needed Destruction and still makes Burndamage. But for Gryphons is just baaad.
You could use darkness approaches for light sworn decks to mill 2 cards to gain their effect and choose to turn one of your field sworns to facedown position in order to activate its flip effect again . There’s that too lol
By the logic set by Level Manipulation, Level Up shouldn't work ether. As it's not the Lv 6 monsters effect that is bringing it out. This is honestly one of the things I hate about Yu-Gi-Oh we just selectively ignore card text. If it says it ignores the summing conditions, it ignores them. Unless it's something like Level Manipulation, in witch oh woops now it doesn't matter that it says that for no reason. It's the kind of ruleing that makes no sense. Can we just start reading the cards and playing them as they state they are to be played?
@@SpottedZebra Still though, the card says it ignores the summon conditions. And as was mentioned is impractical bordering on impossible to actually summon a LV monster that has a summon requirement with it if you ignore that line on the card, and let's face it that is what's being done here. I could understand it if it was a case of it just special summoned the monster and didn't ignore summon conditions, but it doesn't. Or if the high level cards read, "This card must first be special summoned by ______ this can not be ignored." but they don't. Really all card effects like that do is cause confusion for no reason. Honestly it's a bit silly that we can't just have cards work as they are written, and instead have long rulings on how the card works. It's not like Level Modulation being able to summon any LV monster from the grave at the cost of a +2 for your opponent needs a stupid restriction like this.
@Charmiskit Maybe because it makes no sense? The high LV monsters do not state as some monsters do, that it must be special summoned with the effect of their med LV monster first, before they can be special summoned another way. So as far as the card text states it should work, but this is Yu-Gi-Oh, and 30% of cards in this game don't do what their card text states because rulings. So I'll just repeat what I said in my first post, "Can we just start reading the cards and playing them as they state they are to be played?" I would continue but there is no point dragging this out, much like with timing it's the ruling and we just have to deal with it, and there is no changing that.
You know, I've asked a few people who maintain that the Yugioh card game is dumb, why they believe it is, and rulings drama like this NEVER came up. And I really wonder why, because this is what would have turned ME off of the game if I was ever into it in the first place.
Actually you are right and this was an upper deck ruling when the game was slow and these cards were actually very over powered. But now Konami has actually deemed the ruling incorrect and it dose in fact ignores conditions yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Level_Modulation
I'm sorry Konami, but how does a card that says 'Ignore summoning conditions' not ignore summoning conditions? I don't care what ruling says what, if the card says so it should be able to do it. Why is this even a thing?
@@xbon1 Kid, I've been playing this game since it came out, I can see a BS ruling when I see one. If you can ignore summoning conditions then it shouldn't matter if it must be summoned using Method X because you're bypassing the normal summoning methods. Do you not understand the meaning of the word Ignore?
@@xbon1 Once again I've played this game since it came out I know the rules. Also I sent you the rulings where it was deemed unofficial. Which only confirms my theory you can't read.
Darkness approaches was heck of a thing,i still get confused by that card and I can't recall simple rullings with that card,like if you didn't attack the face down monster could your opponent flip it face up without changing battle position or did he had to turn it defense position to flip it and if he did nothing could he attack woth that face down monster
To be honest, I actually love Revoke Fusion for batshift insane it is. I'd never use it in a deck, but I still love it. Also, I remember long ago that, with the people I used to play against locally, Jinzo and Royal Decree were so prevalent that quite a few people actually teched Double Snare and got some good use out of it
Definitely feel like timidity is one of the only cards in this game where you can say if it was a trap card instead of a normal spell card it’d be a lot better 😂
Timidity is actually really good for Cerberus Farm in Duel Links. It basically gives you extra attack from activating a spell that doesn't have any downsides. Even if the effect itself isn't used the extra counter for getting that massive damage at the end certainly can be useful. Mesmeric Control fits there too. Doesn't make them really good (cerberus isn't even the best farming deck), but it is at least a possible use.
Mesmeric control works really good, i think, on ghostricks to keep doing direct damage for 1 more turn, kinda niche but if you like to play those kind of decks, i love that archetype, it can be very useful
Fun Fact Darkness approaches is legitimately used in some more recent empty jar deck lists as a way to flip morphing jar face down quickly, it obviously isn't as good as book of the moon, but since their are actually very few ways to quickly and repeatedly flip your monsters face down, and morphing jar covers the discard cost, it actually works ok.
i'll have you know mesmeric control works amazing with card rotator in a chaos max deck. it means you can keep multiple monsters on lock down for an extra turn which can easily win the duel. it does however make it a lil chunky deck. but it means, much like monarchs for example, if you dont brick. its broken. also you can use foolish on horus level 8 and special summon it. unlike blue-eyes alternative.. it says "must be special summoned.." where as alternative says "must *first* be special summoned..." there is a strict difference in the text for a reason.
I feel like I should point out having horus lvl 6 effect negated by level modulation doesn't matter as level up sends the monster to the grave as a cost and horus can still be effected by costs.
Actually, you don't need to negate Horus LV6's effect in order to play the Level Up! spell card. Horus LV6 is unaffected by the *effects* of spell cards, but you can still tribute it to pay the *cost* of Level Up!.
Funny enough i actually used thunder clash to OTK because it was really easy to pull off for decks that swarms or like if i have enough cards from my hand to fill up the field again. really situational but not bad at all. it's like gagaga cowboy, but going all out with a boom.. lmao.
I feel like chosen one can be used for high level monsters. Not sure what non monster card worth discarding tho. Most spell/traps aren't bad and aren't worth it the discard
Double Snare was a very early (pre-TCG) card in the OCG when everyone played Jinzo and Imperial Order wasn’t rare… and it STILL wasn’t worth anything when it came out. Everyone ran far more versatile removal (3x MST, Heavy Storm, Harpie’s Feather Duster and Giant Trunade were everywhere, while there was plenty of options to remove Jinzo) and both were limited.
Maximum Valkyr dark magician of chaos, sinister serpent, sangan/witch of the black forest (both got the same errata), chaos emperor dragon-envoy of the end (still banned over here even after errata), future fusion, ring of destruction, destiny hero disk commander, brionac, dragon of the ice barrier, catapult turtle, dark strike fighter, imperial order, crush card virus...i think there's more but those are the ones I know about.
@@GearGuardianGaming I actually haven't read Chaos Emperor after errata, and absolutely hate Crush Card, can we get a Primal Seed change that makes it a hard once per turn?
Additional note about Gryphon's Feather Duster: It's strictly worse than Emergency Provisions. So even IF you needed an effect like GFD for whatever reason, you're better off with another card entirely.
Possible errata for Revoke Fusion: Banish a Fusion monster from your extra deck face-down. Special Summon a monster from your hand or deck that is listed as fusion material on the banished card.
I ran 2 copies of Thunder Crash in my old Crystal Beast deck to quickly get them into my spell zones from my monster zones to pull off my combo plays, since they go to the S/T zone after they are destroyed by thunder surge. It would burn my opponent, and then let me quickly set up for the Crystal Abundance OTK. Plus the burn effect was nice since you often didnt have enough attack points on the field go actually kill your opponent when their board got wiped.
I don't really understand the "Need to be first normal summoned and then go to the GY before you can special summon from the GY". For my logic (wrong or not but it is wrong in this case for whatever reason) if in example of the Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 and the Level Modulator. If the Horus is sent to the GY and card says "ignore the summoning condition" then for me there is no rule what prevents this combo from happening. What a difference what monster ends in the GY and from where (directly from Deck or from the field)? It is there, so such effects for me can be used. Also please don't hate me for what I've just wrote, I may not remember whole official rules of the YGO, I still learn, I finally can play it and I like it so please, just explain to me why monsters like the Horus LV8 and any other of this kind just HAVE TO be first on field before can be special summon from the GY?
It's to do with the weird and very unintuitive rules about "Nomi" and "Semi-Nomi" monsters. Look up those terms and people should be able to explain monsters like these.
It's called BKSS: Because Konami said so Here's scenario: You Tribute Summon Lv6 Horus, you activate Level UP to bring Lv8, then it get killed by battle. Although it was summoned and was on the field, you cannot bring it back with Modulation, since it has to be properly special summoned by Lv6 in order to count. Also, when that same Horus Lv8 that was properly summoned by Lv6 in the GY, and somehow returned to hand/deck, that conditions is reset. Graveyard and Banished in Yugioh were always this restrictive. However, not so from the hand. (You can use Wild Monsters Appear to summon Vennominaga, Horus Lv8, Larvae Moth, etc)
@@CantusTropus When I was checking those terms, on YGO wikia at the "Semi-Nomi" cards I've found this: "A Special Summon-only monster cannot be Special Summoned from the hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Spell & Trap Zone, except by the specified method, unless the card effect ignores the Summoning conditions." And said "Level Modulator" have this exact statement soooo... for me using Level Modulator on the Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 what is in GY sent directly from deck 100% legit. YGO after all is that complex game that it almost crushing itself with it. Making so many situations unclear, unintuitive, confusing and if two newbie players would want to play properly against each other they would spent more time in inet seeking answers. But Level Modulator effect is very simple and it states "Ignore the summoning conditions" so not ignoring them is not following the card effect. And if I am correct even official rule book don't have a line saying that such things aren't possible. Also the parts what says: "Must first be Special Summoned..." for what? To be properly used or what? D: Why this game is so damn confusing? >.
@@MrCegeb I had to check wikia to fully understand this scenario. The complexity. When I was look at the Nomi and Self-Nomi terms I've found this line: "A Special Summon-only monster cannot be Special Summoned from the hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Spell & Trap Zone, except by the specified method, unless the card effect ignores the Summoning conditions." And if so then yes Level Modulator CAN bring Horus Lv8 on the field from the GY. I am still newcomer to the YGO scene so kind of first thing I've done was.... READ THE OFFICIAL RULEBOOK what don't precise that AT ALL... Sorry but how to play ANY game if the official rulebook is incomplete and not cover ALL of the rules? From where there are such rules if rulebook don't have them included??? Also proper summon don't change the card properties or description. If card like Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon demand reveal normal White Dragon to be special summoned then sending it to the GY no matter how and when and from where would cause it to stuck in there. Unless this dragon is take back to the Deck or Hand but never directly to the Field. This one specific thing in YGO work against all logic... at least my own, I cannot understand it as official rulebook says nothing about such restrictions, nor cards says anything. If it would be clearly stated and maybe even described why is that in the official rulebook then that's fine. Unless that happens, for me it's neither nice or logical.
tbh I dont get it aswell, for me its clear that you could just bring a level monster from the graveyard to the field BUT under the specifics card ruling I found this rule : "An "LV" monster that normally cannot be Special Summoned except by the method in its text CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Level Modulation" unless it has been previously Special Summoned by the correct procedure. The "ignore the Summoning conditions" text allows for these monsters to be Special Summoned only after they have been properly Summoned by their own effect. This applies to "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Armed Dragon LV7", "Silent Swordsman LV7", "Silent Magician LV8", and "Winged Kuriboh LV10". "
I hope they print the anime Trap Counterpart of Level Modul without the terrible restriction of not being able to use the effects and perhaps give it something additional for Ojama Armed AtoZ dragon decks
MST does NOT negate. But if a card needs to resolve on the field to have an effect (Continuous Spell/Trap cards for example) then MST causes the effect to "fail" without actually negating them. Yes, YuGiOh is over complicated and it only gets worse from there.
1:20 shouldn‘t the old effect not work in the first place on attack position monster because they can‘t be set in attack position and is therefore something that can‘t exist in the game just like extra deck monster in your hand or main deck that also won‘t work and is illegal. Shouldn‘t the old effect than only be able to set defense position monster because that‘s an legal play? kinda confused seems like old players made smth up with this card just created smth new
Wait, I don’t get the Level Modulation issue with pulling Horus out of the graveyard after milling. It straight up says to ignore the Summoning requirements on the card right there in the text, so why would I had to have summoned it normally before using it? Is that some dumb bullshit ruling on Konami’s side or am I missing some intrinsic fact on Lv monsters?
Sad that Checkmate is so bad, i really love the name because nothing is more satisfying than have a game-ending effect just called "Checkmate"
I agree, it's such a powerful word and they made a truly horrendous card with it.
It should be a simple and powerful effect, like pot of greed "Draw 2 cards". I think it could be something like "Chose a monster, that target can attack your opponent directly this turn". It should be a generic card, not an archetype one.
@@lynnmorgan5897 I do get it's supposed to be the endgame card of a chess archetype, but man, that's still pathetic.
I mean if you think about it the card isn't super terrible when you realize it's called 'checkmate' because you're supposed to use it to win when your opponent only has 2000 life points or less and has a problematic board, and it allows you to jump over it and win the duel if in the right circumstances

Unicore effect requires u to have equal hands size with ure opponent but in exchange it stops pretty much everything. It's almost impossible to have this unless u make a deck around it
@@magicmanscott40k There's a 5000 attack monster that requires you to ditch your hand in every standby phase, and I think it doesn't let you use any effects either...
Rocket Arrow Express.
All of the Chess Archfiend monsters have stupid maintenance costs, too, although they were the first cards to have some level of inherent protection (from targeting) and Pandemonium removed the costs.
Level Mod will work milling Horus 8. The issue you brought up only applies if the monster says "Must first be special summoned by...". If it doesn't say that, "ignoring summoning conditions" effects work on it all the time.
Wow i can't believe it , you mentioned Darkness approaches without mentioning it as a Morphing Jar Deck options ......

10 Cards that were given different effects in the Anime/Movies and required because plot. For example, Power Bond can't do its effect damage if the Fusion Monster summoned with its effect isn't on the field during the end phase.
Lord Nightraven or you win before then
@@patirck024 And anytime Zane couldn't win in that turn, he dispelled his Cyber End Dragon. When he couldn't de-fuse CED in his battle against Possessed Jesse, he took 4000 damage and lost. He also used that same mechanic against the Shadow Riders and Jaden.
Lord Nightraven yeah but CD players don't play cyber end
@@patirck024 You have totally missed the point of what I've said. The point is that the Anime had a slightly different effect for Power Bond compared to the actual card. Power Bond, the actual card, deals its damage no matter what. Zane, in the anime, avoids that damage by defusing Cyber End Dragon.
Lord Nightraven I understood that lol, I was just pointing out he isn't played

I play almost entirely synchro decks and u could have a top 30 worst synchro monsters. There a few good ones that are a lot of fun. The rest are shit

Davinator already did worst Synchro & Pendulum monsters.
We got some bad links out there. Vorticular Drumgon, a non generic link -3 for only 1000ATK (left, down, right) and all it does is draw 1 for some forgettable restriction.
Edit: if you do use that "draw" effect, the zones it points to cannot be used for the rest of that turn. It takes exactly 3 dark dragon monsters to make.

Gryphon’s Feather Duster is also powercrept by Emergency Provisions, a Quickplay Spell that lets you gain more life points (though it sends instead of destroying).
Actually Emergency Provisions came first. So Gryphon's Feather Duster was outclassed from the start.
Mystic Soldier that’s pretty much what I said though.

"Chosen one" Is a gift from the satan itself.
Use "A Hero Emerges" instead 👌

Didn't know that came out way back in DCR. Taught it came out with the E Heros
A Hero Lives is better than both lol
@@noahtackett6264 Hero Signal and E Emergcy Calll are the Best tho
I like the Gamble concept. I ised to use it when I was first starting out. If they changed it so if your opponent picks the Spell/Trap that single card is sent to the GY and the other 2 stay in your hand, I would legit play it. It still wouldn't be GOOD but I'd play it.
Revoke Fusion was only Used cause Jaden was affraid to use Polymerization and used it to summon Elenmental Hero Bladedge to finish off an ally of the Supreme King after Jaden was freed. Ofc will with anime ass pulls and plot amor xD
Smooth move Jaden
dang, afraid to use a trading card. that's pretty funny.
@@AchedSphinx the idea is that he caused so much destruction and chaos when he was under the influence of the Supreme King that he had trauma from using polymerization.
The problem with this asinine plot is that Neos exist, a means of fusion without Polymerization. And also the Supreme King used Dark Fusion, not Polymerization. Season 3 was fucking weird.
@@caswellweird its affected him hard. Jaden's Duel prior to that one its him vs Zane he had good hand (Clayman,Sparkman,Spark blaster,Emergency Call,Hero Barrier,Polymerzation) but didn't use it. He could'nt use other strategies because of his guilt
@@aldrinflores4531 its still really forced drama.
I get feeling guilty for your actions, but if you want it to be believable dont tie it to a card that 1) wasnt the card Supreme King was using 2) isnt Jaden's only means of winning.
Though to be fair season 3 was a dumpster fire the second they arrived in the desert world so its not like this consistency issue would salvage it.

Well I watch him for the honest top tens and also for his World of warcraft on his other channel, Hirumaredx. I watch Rank10YGO for when I get bored or wanna laugh at his amazing editing.
Fun fact: Darknees approach was good in Power of Chaos to cheat flip effects(also because you can run the almighty serpent), because that game doesn't have book of moon. Also Face down attack exist in that game.

The Chosen One instantly came to mind for this one. How did they make a card this bad??
Traps do count in everything but if something negates everything it would negate the spell
Now can you do Top Ten Worst cards that are better in the anime?
tim5fl I like this one. I can think of a couple examples.
I actually used to run a lvl up deck a few years ago in duel links, and I would use level modulation when I was going for the kill. It actually worked out pretty well.
Double snare now is bad but back when jinzo first came out it was a handy card to have to deal with him of you didnt have horn of heaven or solemn judgement before he was summoned
That is very true. Back in the day if I got Jinzo out early, my opponent was lucky to get over it and I was also a victim to early Jinzo stomps.
In duel link, gryphon feather is kinda essential, I always use it to remove my continus spell/trap since there can only be 3 slots for them, theres a better card named emergency provision or something like that that gives 1000 instead of 500 and a quick spell card, also its good for that weird deck where monster go to spell trap zone when destroyed instead of gy
Best ' once per duel' card effects
Bacon Saver?
But then other better cards like it exist so nvm
Holy shit, Timidity might be my new favorite staple lmfao.
"Dear" Konami... I beg you... add this line: "A Special Summon-only monster can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or while banished as long as it was Special Summoned properly first." to the OFFICIAL AFTER ALL Rulebook... Thank you...
Your newcomer to the game player...
Cards that can do that do say "must FIRST be special summoned..." but I agree Konami should make it more obvious
@@fnad7871 Yes but not every card have this line even if should. Still rules of YGO are way too confused for basically everybody. All other card game I've seen had so much more clear and easier to learn rules (Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone and more).
Luna Drarga Magic:The Gathering has easier rules?
Perfect example. Supreme Rage. If you control Zarc. Special summon 4 skd monsters from your deck or gy. But if you send the 3 ed ones to the gy you can't special them even though the card ignores summon conditions
@@JoeyLamontagne DL:WR - Of course, because even if I didn't played that long not even once I was confused, not like in YGO what happening non stop.
In MtG you don't encounter situation when card says one thing and game rules another. Wasn't playing MtG long enough but it have very constant rules not like YGO. In MtG to summon card you need specific energies in specific amount, ground units cannot attack flying unless said otherwise. That's everything simple and clear. In YGO card says "ignore summon condition" but yet you can't do that because reasons or just like SuperSayianWarrior said with his example of Zarc. Once when I was fight with my friends he put on field Chaos MAX Dragon and I put Twin Burst Dragon and after banishing his dragon they was like "Hey... it's a game bug, it cannot happen like that." and after checking google MAX Dragon vs Twin Dragon I've found that not only they were confused about battle result. NONE OTHER card game beside YGO have ANY confusing rules or situations on table.
Konami if would make the game rules more clear, put intuitive (or at least intuitive enough) terms like already existing ones like: "Destroy" or "Banish" that every player after seeing it will understand it's effect. Just like in Hearthstone cards can have just SINGLE word "Taunt" and everybody know what does that means and creating confusing situation is simply impossible. And in YGO? God... NOT finding something confusing is hard.
Would Mesmeric Control be good against Morphtronics? Also when Yubel was big in DL I ran Thunder Crash in that since it was an easy-ish way to get out Terror Incarnate or Ultimate Nightmare, and Gryphon's Feather Duster miiiiight be OK if you also run backrow cards which like being destroyed, say Awakening of Nephthys or Limiter Overload (though in the latter case the benefit isn't too worth it)
I like how link monsters invalidate some of the most loathed batte traps in Duel Links
Do you mean Top 10 Best Normal Spell Cards to be used in combination with Mystical Refpanel?
XD
Being fair, Thunder Crash and Checkmate are low-powered finishing moves.
Interesting bit of history with Double Snare. It actually did see a small, tiny, bit of competitive success, in two top 8 Chain Burn decks. Jasmin Gauthier would place 2nd at SJC Montreal in April of 2007 and Tomas Mijares would place in top 8 with 2 copies in the side deck at YCS San Jose in December 2006.
How about top 10 cards based on or inspired by actual characters from different series (I.e., Tyler the Great Warrior, Gradius, Kaijus etc.) ?
Tyler the Great Warrior MIGHT have been trunks, but it was a make-a-wish kid's card.
love the video, but worth mentioning that for "Checkmate!" im pretty sure the card is originallly from the anime. So in the anime you only start with 4000 life points. Still a bad card but its more interesting to look at it as if it was an attack for 4k damage and resolving it twice would be game, again still a terrible card but more fun to look at it in an anime context.
0:14 you could use this card with a subterror deck where they rely on this type of effect
I remember playing Thunder Crash in an old Yubel deck, before stuff like Fire King Island and Dragonic Diagram made destroying your own cards easy
Could you do a video on the effectiveness/usefulness of each summoning mechanic? "How good is Fusion summoning? Why is it good or bad?" And follow a format like that for all the mechanics. It would also be interesting to include a past and present perspective of their usefulness. "How good was synchro summoning when it first came out? And how good is it today in the current meta?"
i think that this is how you can use level modulation:
step one: get a high level monster out on the feild
step two:
use said powerful monster in a special summon using polimerization to summon something more powerful, like blue eyes ultimate dragon.
step three: use level modulation to bring back your blue eyes that you tributed.
i used blue eyes since im not very well versed in the modern yugioh cards.
ik this comment is 3 years old but actually the issue here would be that blue eyes isnt a level monster, the card only works for monsters that have the text "level_" in them
Funfact: Mesmeric Control & Mind Control are both seen in a ton of doujins!
>.>
I run a LV deck, and I find that level modulation helps getting spell counters on my Silent Magician LV4 to boost it's ATK faster, as it gains one every time my opponent draws a card.(+500 ATK per counter) So it's at 2500 ATK by my opponents next standby phase. 2 counters from the modulation and 1 from their draw phase.
The archfiend would work against my friend because he had a deck that was basically all flip effects when the monster is attacked do a certain amount damage to you and most of them couldn't be destroyed by battle so we always ended up just placing monsters in defense mode turn after turn after turn
About "Darkness Approaches", the only time it was good was in "Sacred Cards" and "Reshef of Destruction", since in both games it had a different effect and the card games had slightly different rules compared to the TCG/OCG.
casually most of these are a random drop in duel links cough cough
Thunder Crash is also realy well in Duel Links in my Yubel Deck. It gives the needed Destruction and still makes Burndamage.
But for Gryphons is just baaad.
You could use darkness approaches for light sworn decks to mill 2 cards to gain their effect and choose to turn one of your field sworns to facedown position in order to activate its flip effect again . There’s that too lol
you have so much quality in your videos, you'll get more subs in the future, you content worth it
Thunder Crash is really useful in Duel Links...for farming the AI for effect damage missions using Kickfire and Heroic Gift.
By the logic set by Level Manipulation, Level Up shouldn't work ether. As it's not the Lv 6 monsters effect that is bringing it out. This is honestly one of the things I hate about Yu-Gi-Oh we just selectively ignore card text. If it says it ignores the summing conditions, it ignores them. Unless it's something like Level Manipulation, in witch oh woops now it doesn't matter that it says that for no reason. It's the kind of ruleing that makes no sense.
Can we just start reading the cards and playing them as they state they are to be played?
The difference is that one summons it from the graveyard. A card in the graveyard is subject to the Nomi rule, cards in the deck are not.
@@SpottedZebra Still though, the card says it ignores the summon conditions. And as was mentioned is impractical bordering on impossible to actually summon a LV monster that has a summon requirement with it if you ignore that line on the card, and let's face it that is what's being done here. I could understand it if it was a case of it just special summoned the monster and didn't ignore summon conditions, but it doesn't. Or if the high level cards read, "This card must first be special summoned by ______ this can not be ignored." but they don't. Really all card effects like that do is cause confusion for no reason.
Honestly it's a bit silly that we can't just have cards work as they are written, and instead have long rulings on how the card works. It's not like Level Modulation being able to summon any LV monster from the grave at the cost of a +2 for your opponent needs a stupid restriction like this.
@Charmiskit Maybe because it makes no sense? The high LV monsters do not state as some monsters do, that it must be special summoned with the effect of their med LV monster first, before they can be special summoned another way. So as far as the card text states it should work, but this is Yu-Gi-Oh, and 30% of cards in this game don't do what their card text states because rulings. So I'll just repeat what I said in my first post, "Can we just start reading the cards and playing them as they state they are to be played?"
I would continue but there is no point dragging this out, much like with timing it's the ruling and we just have to deal with it, and there is no changing that.
You know, I've asked a few people who maintain that the Yugioh card game is dumb, why they believe it is, and rulings drama like this NEVER came up. And I really wonder why, because this is what would have turned ME off of the game if I was ever into it in the first place.
Actually you are right and this was an upper deck ruling when the game was slow and these cards were actually very over powered. But now Konami has actually deemed the ruling incorrect and it dose in fact ignores conditions
yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Level_Modulation
I'm sorry Konami, but how does a card that says 'Ignore summoning conditions' not ignore summoning conditions? I don't care what ruling says what, if the card says so it should be able to do it. Why is this even a thing?
Because it’s in the graveyard.
kid, because you don't understand the rules. You can't ignore summoning conditions if you CAN'T summon it, only if you MUST summon it using X method.
@@xbon1
Kid, I've been playing this game since it came out, I can see a BS ruling when I see one. If you can ignore summoning conditions then it shouldn't matter if it must be summoned using Method X because you're bypassing the normal summoning methods. Do you not understand the meaning of the word Ignore?
@@420mralucard no kid, nothing personnel but you have no idea how Yugioh works.
@@xbon1
Once again I've played this game since it came out I know the rules. Also I sent you the rulings where it was deemed unofficial. Which only confirms my theory you can't read.
Darkness approaches was heck of a thing,i still get confused by that card and I can't recall simple rullings with that card,like if you didn't attack the face down monster could your opponent flip it face up without changing battle position or did he had to turn it defense position to flip it and if he did nothing could he attack woth that face down monster
To be honest, I actually love Revoke Fusion for batshift insane it is. I'd never use it in a deck, but I still love it.
Also, I remember long ago that, with the people I used to play against locally, Jinzo and Royal Decree were so prevalent that quite a few people actually teched Double Snare and got some good use out of it
Definitely feel like timidity is one of the only cards in this game where you can say if it was a trap card instead of a normal spell card it’d be a lot better 😂
Definitely an underrated YuGiYo channel. I’m gonna go hit the ladder in DL . Cheers from Alaska! 💨
Timidity is actually really good for Cerberus Farm in Duel Links. It basically gives you extra attack from activating a spell that doesn't have any downsides. Even if the effect itself isn't used the extra counter for getting that massive damage at the end certainly can be useful. Mesmeric Control fits there too. Doesn't make them really good (cerberus isn't even the best farming deck), but it is at least a possible use.
"Cyber Twin Dragon"+"Cyber Dragon Nachster" another way to get the benefit with Revoke :))
Mesmeric control works really good, i think, on ghostricks to keep doing direct damage for 1 more turn, kinda niche but if you like to play those kind of decks, i love that archetype, it can be very useful
Revoce fusion can teknly be used to bring out floaters
Fun Fact Darkness approaches is legitimately used in some more recent empty jar deck lists as a way to flip morphing jar face down quickly, it obviously isn't as good as book of the moon, but since their are actually very few ways to quickly and repeatedly flip your monsters face down, and morphing jar covers the discard cost, it actually works ok.
Humble sentry still make me confused even today, why they have an idea that make a card that so useless
Mesmeric Control's Anime effect might be better, reducing a monster's ATK by 800.
And negates monster effects
What is the music used in the background? It sounds so nice
Thunder crash can also work with
babycerasaurus and petiteranodon so basically you can -6 to then go +3 and bring out a super good monster
Hi there. I'd like you to bring us a video of Top 10 Worst continous trap cards. Thanks.
i'll have you know mesmeric control works amazing with card rotator in a chaos max deck. it means you can keep multiple monsters on lock down for an extra turn which can easily win the duel. it does however make it a lil chunky deck. but it means, much like monarchs for example, if you dont brick. its broken.
also you can use foolish on horus level 8 and special summon it. unlike blue-eyes alternative.. it says "must be special summoned.." where as alternative says "must *first* be special summoned..." there is a strict difference in the text for a reason.
A shame that the rulings say no to Level Modulation: yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Level_Modulation
Tbf, Darkness Approaches is actually flat out busted in Sacred Cards.
yes it is. and i love it.
I feel like I should point out having horus lvl 6 effect negated by level modulation doesn't matter as level up sends the monster to the grave as a cost and horus can still be effected by costs.
Actually, you don't need to negate Horus LV6's effect in order to play the Level Up! spell card. Horus LV6 is unaffected by the *effects* of spell cards, but you can still tribute it to pay the *cost* of Level Up!.
Darkness Approaches is great in Duelists of the Roses - you can combo it with Magician of Faith to infinitely loop flip effects
There is actually 1 deck that gryphons feather duster is good in
And that is artifacts since you want to destroy them in order to summon them
In a future video, may you do a top 10 worst normal trap cards.
Funny enough i actually used thunder clash to OTK because it was really easy to pull off for decks that swarms or like if i have enough cards from my hand to fill up the field again. really situational but not bad at all. it's like gagaga cowboy, but going all out with a boom.. lmao.
I feel like chosen one can be used for high level monsters. Not sure what non monster card worth discarding tho. Most spell/traps aren't bad and aren't worth it the discard
Double Snare was a very early (pre-TCG) card in the OCG when everyone played Jinzo and Imperial Order wasn’t rare… and it STILL wasn’t worth anything when it came out. Everyone ran far more versatile removal (3x MST, Heavy Storm, Harpie’s Feather Duster and Giant Trunade were everywhere, while there was plenty of options to remove Jinzo) and both were limited.
Mesmeric Control can also (kinda?) be used for Mother Spider support if you don’t have Earthquake or Card Rotator for some reason
Top 10 cards that got an errata because they were too OP
Eg. Ring of destruction, imperial order
Witch of the Black Forest effect so good even errata it's a problem card
Maximum Valkyr dark magician of chaos, sinister serpent, sangan/witch of the black forest (both got the same errata), chaos emperor dragon-envoy of the end (still banned over here even after errata), future fusion, ring of destruction, destiny hero disk commander, brionac, dragon of the ice barrier, catapult turtle, dark strike fighter, imperial order, crush card virus...i think there's more but those are the ones I know about.
@@GearGuardianGaming I actually haven't read Chaos Emperor after errata, and absolutely hate Crush Card, can we get a Primal Seed change that makes it a hard once per turn?
Exchange of the Spirit
Do you think "Chosen One" could be worth it if it special summoned the monster ignoring all summoning conditions?
Additional note about Gryphon's Feather Duster: It's strictly worse than Emergency Provisions. So even IF you needed an effect like GFD for whatever reason, you're better off with another card entirely.
Level modulation can be moderately useful with Silent Magician decks 😉
Possible errata for Revoke Fusion: Banish a Fusion monster from your extra deck face-down. Special Summon a monster from your hand or deck that is listed as fusion material on the banished card.
I ran 2 copies of Thunder Crash in my old Crystal Beast deck to quickly get them into my spell zones from my monster zones to pull off my combo plays, since they go to the S/T zone after they are destroyed by thunder surge. It would burn my opponent, and then let me quickly set up for the Crystal Abundance OTK. Plus the burn effect was nice since you often didnt have enough attack points on the field go actually kill your opponent when their board got wiped.
Top 10 cards that could come off the forbidden & limited list
I don't really understand the "Need to be first normal summoned and then go to the GY before you can special summon from the GY". For my logic (wrong or not but it is wrong in this case for whatever reason) if in example of the Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 and the Level Modulator. If the Horus is sent to the GY and card says "ignore the summoning condition" then for me there is no rule what prevents this combo from happening. What a difference what monster ends in the GY and from where (directly from Deck or from the field)? It is there, so such effects for me can be used.
Also please don't hate me for what I've just wrote, I may not remember whole official rules of the YGO, I still learn, I finally can play it and I like it so please, just explain to me why monsters like the Horus LV8 and any other of this kind just HAVE TO be first on field before can be special summon from the GY?
It's to do with the weird and very unintuitive rules about "Nomi" and "Semi-Nomi" monsters. Look up those terms and people should be able to explain monsters like these.
It's called BKSS: Because Konami said so
Here's scenario:
You Tribute Summon Lv6 Horus, you activate Level UP to bring Lv8, then it get killed by battle. Although it was summoned and was on the field, you cannot bring it back with Modulation, since it has to be properly special summoned by Lv6 in order to count.
Also, when that same Horus Lv8 that was properly summoned by Lv6 in the GY, and somehow returned to hand/deck, that conditions is reset.
Graveyard and Banished in Yugioh were always this restrictive.
However, not so from the hand. (You can use Wild Monsters Appear to summon Vennominaga, Horus Lv8, Larvae Moth, etc)
@@CantusTropus When I was checking those terms, on YGO wikia at the "Semi-Nomi" cards I've found this: "A Special Summon-only monster cannot be Special Summoned from the hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Spell & Trap Zone, except by the specified method, unless the card effect ignores the Summoning conditions." And said "Level Modulator" have this exact statement soooo... for me using Level Modulator on the Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 what is in GY sent directly from deck 100% legit.
YGO after all is that complex game that it almost crushing itself with it. Making so many situations unclear, unintuitive, confusing and if two newbie players would want to play properly against each other they would spent more time in inet seeking answers. But Level Modulator effect is very simple and it states "Ignore the summoning conditions" so not ignoring them is not following the card effect. And if I am correct even official rule book don't have a line saying that such things aren't possible.
Also the parts what says: "Must first be Special Summoned..." for what? To be properly used or what? D: Why this game is so damn confusing? >.
@@MrCegeb I had to check wikia to fully understand this scenario. The complexity. When I was look at the Nomi and Self-Nomi terms I've found this line: "A Special Summon-only monster cannot be Special Summoned from the hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Spell & Trap Zone, except by the specified method, unless the card effect ignores the Summoning conditions." And if so then yes Level Modulator CAN bring Horus Lv8 on the field from the GY.
I am still newcomer to the YGO scene so kind of first thing I've done was.... READ THE OFFICIAL RULEBOOK what don't precise that AT ALL... Sorry but how to play ANY game if the official rulebook is incomplete and not cover ALL of the rules? From where there are such rules if rulebook don't have them included???
Also proper summon don't change the card properties or description. If card like Blue-Eyes Alternative Dragon demand reveal normal White Dragon to be special summoned then sending it to the GY no matter how and when and from where would cause it to stuck in there. Unless this dragon is take back to the Deck or Hand but never directly to the Field.
This one specific thing in YGO work against all logic... at least my own, I cannot understand it as official rulebook says nothing about such restrictions, nor cards says anything. If it would be clearly stated and maybe even described why is that in the official rulebook then that's fine. Unless that happens, for me it's neither nice or logical.
tbh I dont get it aswell, for me its clear that you could just bring a level monster from the graveyard to the field BUT under the specifics card ruling I found this rule :
"An "LV" monster that normally cannot be Special Summoned except by the method in its text CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Level Modulation" unless it has been previously Special Summoned by the correct procedure. The "ignore the Summoning conditions" text allows for these monsters to be Special Summoned only after they have been properly Summoned by their own effect. This applies to "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Armed Dragon LV7", "Silent Swordsman LV7", "Silent Magician LV8", and "Winged Kuriboh LV10".
"
I hope they print the anime Trap Counterpart of Level Modul without the terrible restriction of not being able to use the effects and perhaps give it something additional for Ojama Armed AtoZ dragon decks
So if mst negates, does twin twister double negate?
MST does NOT negate. But if a card needs to resolve on the field to have an effect (Continuous Spell/Trap cards for example) then MST causes the effect to "fail" without actually negating them. Yes, YuGiOh is over complicated and it only gets worse from there.
@@Redpoppy80 He's clearly joking.
Thunder Crash is gonna me GREAT against Mystic Mine!
1:20 shouldn‘t the old effect not work in the first place on attack position monster because they can‘t be set in attack position and is therefore something that can‘t exist in the game just like extra deck monster in your hand or main deck that also won‘t work and is illegal.
Shouldn‘t the old effect than only be able to set defense position monster because that‘s an legal play?
kinda confused seems like old players made smth up with this card just created smth new
I know this is over a year old but I always ran gryphons feather duster in duel links for ancient gear. It always helped me out.
Wait, I don’t get the Level Modulation issue with pulling Horus out of the graveyard after milling.

Is that some dumb bullshit ruling on Konami’s side or am I missing some intrinsic fact on Lv monsters?
Another great vid DuelLogs!
