@Hikari Joga It is a bit hard to bring out since it requires 2 Masked HERO monsters, which is 2 copies of Mask Change and 2 HERO monsters. That amount of resources is a bit too expensive and doesn't worth that much
exterio as waking the dragon will always be funny to me. as a SHS player saying "summon battleball use effect make train with exterio" will always be funny
I run to all of these cards, and let me tell you never once have i ever won after they have been summoned. Even when I have a powerfull board and the game continues for many more turns.
I thought colossus is the evolution of thunder dragondark, titan is the evolution of the original thunderdragon (referenced by their color and attributes ), also titan having three heads is also a reference to the original thunder dragon can get you to all three copies with one.
Dark *is* a weaker Colossus, it's why Colossus has the tribute effect to summon itself off 1 Thunder. Also their OCG names, Dark is Bolt Thunder Dragon, and Colossus is Superbolt. It's pretty clear, big ball drop on his part.
@@Hjortur95 I know, but the original green one came out way earlier, and I was referring to titan's design being a reference to the original thunder dragon's effect
@@Kagu-fx1un considering those are my favorite 2 design wise of the main deck Thundras, say less. Biggest crime Konami committed against the deck was giving them additional Support in a boss monster and then making it a main deck. I *hate* Thunder Dragon Lord because it would be an amazing card if not for the simple fact it's not an ED monster.
They were since OCG 1999. Fusions and Ritual back then were after thoughts. Konami's idea of balancing special summoning beaters was forcing conditions. Ritual being the worst mechanic. During GX they gave support to fusions. However they were so salty that no one was fusion summoning with Polymerization. They started adding fusion clause and fusion material clause to force you to fusion summon or fuse using exactlt those listed materials. Which of course no one tolerated and Konami finally pulled their head out their asses and started making actual good fusions
It took until literally Shaddoll for them to be authentic and strong. Before that it was magical scientist or bust. Shaddoll is one of the most important deck in the history of the game when it comes to design space.
To be fair, special summoning *period* was super rare at first and Konami had no idea how to balance it. Though seeing the passive progression of them learning to balance Fusions and Rituals is really interesting: 1. DM era- Fusions and Rituals existed but were, lets be honest, fucking useless with a handfull of exceptions like Relinquished which is decent even today. 2. GX era- Fusions are the new "main mechanic" , both they and Rituals actually start getting proper effects and beefier stats. But suffer from needing to use overly specific material and/or needing to have the materials in the hand or on field But then they slowly transition into Contact Fusions , giving Fusions much better effects and while the Neo Spacians, the prototypes, are kind of a bust they pave the way for Gladiator Beasts which tore the meta a new arsehole. 3. 5Ds and Zexal eras - lumping these together and skipping over them a bit because ,while they both originated from the original idea of Contact Fusing, everyone has their own opinions on Synchros and XYZs and I'm not interested in starting a flame war. (We have Eldlich floodgate players for that). Plus, Fusions and Rituals kind of take a back seat in favor of the new mechanics. 4. Arc V - Despite pendulums not being recieved very well, this did mark the point where Konami went back and gave back some focus to the other summoning mechanics. Both Rituals and Fusions got plenty of generic support, they needed way less specific material and even started using materials from the GY or even the opponent's field consistently. V-Rains era- Links were massively more succesfull (for better and for worse) but it was much od the same as for the Pendulum era. The new mechanic was at the forefront, but the older summoning mechanics got a *ton* of love. Fusions in particular started slowly becoming absolutely *CRACKED* with stuff like Shaddolls, Tearlaments etc. Hell, Fusions are probably the best they've ever been right now and , alongside Links, are arguibly the most popular summoning mechanic. Rituals, while in a worse spot, have also come a LONG way from where they began with them taking advantage of inherited effects, generic support and Konami giving them more leeway on their restrictions (usually) due to the costly nature of ritual summoning.
Maybe next top 10 can be the biggest power gap difference between original and retrain. I know for sure Gate Guardians Combined is a LOT better than the OG by a huge mile. Now that I think about it, I think it's the perfect time to make a video for Gate Guardian.
To be fair, saying the retrain is better than the original in this case is like saying that drinking water is better for you than drinking terpentine. Its an understatement OG Gate Guardian was the *poster boy* of disappointing boss monsters. You bring out 3 beatsticks, hope they all stay on the field and you have GG in hand and you bring out an *even bigger* beatstick that dies if your opponent *breathes* on it XD Meanwhile the retrains are an actual functional and fun strategy with the ability to make some genuinely formidable boards.
It’s nice how many of these are evolutions of much older cards. Though it feels like Konami have been obsessed with fusion as of late - it seems to get a lot more love than the other summoning methods
I think there are enough cards for a Top 10 Non-Fusion "Fusion" Monsters. Monsters that through effect and/or artwork are combinations of two or more other monsters. The only ones I'm thinking of right now, though, are Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and Exosisters Magnifica.
ABC dragon buster definitely deserves a mention, the spirit of XYZ Dragon Cannon lives on through ABC. Not only is it much easier to bring out since it can contact fuse from the GY but even if it's removal is OPT a banish is generally easier to resolve and even then it can tag out to 3 different banished unions allowing it to dodge removal and set up it's own dummy for next turn and provide emergency walls or to be used as link fodder. It also help Union support works much better on it since one of their monsters isn't a Vanilla monster.
Yes, but it doesn't use the original XYZ machines. Might share the spirit of XYZ Dragon Cannon, but it's not an evolution since it uses its own monsters.
@@azuredragoon2054 The evolutions of number 1 and 2 are literally non-fusion effect monsters. I think the my example of using 2 monsters that essentially have the same motif only one is a lot better being just as functional.
@@IC-23 What matters is that the Fusion Monster is an evolution of an existing card. There's enough proof of this with Relinquished, Winda and Dark Magician all being cited as "origin" cards. ABC is clearly its own monster with its own materials. So it would not fit this list even though it clearly keeps the spirit of XYZ Dragon Cannon.
DPE might have the same name has the other enforcers, its effect is based around destiny end dragoon and that can be considered as a pre-evolution as well.
We need to see this list done for Sychro, Xyz, Pend, Link, Ritual, and a special list for main deck monsters that are evolutions of extra deck monsters or rituals
You don't search Cyber Stein just because you have access to Gigantic Champion Sargas. That card only searches Therions, but Springans typically search it with Gear Gigant X, which they can make because most of the maindeck monsters are Machines. I don't see a way for decks who can make Sargas to search out Stein unless they resort to Spright Sprind/Elf shenanigans.
Keeping with the theme of accomodating anime-buddy staples, I'd like to see Claw of Hermos provide a Fiend-type weapon/Fusion based monster via the Summoned Skull/Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, forming an archfiend sickle. Be a fun little back-up if the Skull isn't being fused into the Black Skull Dragon or its retrain.
Thunder Dragon Colossus can be Special Summoned by tributing a non-Fusion Thunder effect monster during the turn a Thunder monster's effect was activated in the hand, not just your hand. Theoretically, this means if your opponent activated the effect of a Thunder monster in their hand during your turn, then you could use Colossus' Summoning condition without having to activate the effect of a Thunder monster in your own hand.
Funny enough since i mostly played traptrix in master duel, whenever i would face thunder dragon collosus there he felt like a pushover because his protection wasn't good enough and stopping me from adding cards to the hand didn't matter.
Also Winda played a part in TOSS with Orcust since they could bring it out with Instant Fusion and just protect it with Dingirsu so that it's live on their opponent's turn.
i feel like exterio is not extremely difficult to pull off anymore with the current naturia support. you can do beast 99% of the time on your first turn. Barkion on the opponents turn. Or your own depending on your draws. And you can fusion with their new spell on either turn.
I was going to make an "And thundering in at #1" joke, but I would have been half right. Expected at least a mention of Thunder Dragon Titan, since it's an evolution of Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon. They could errata Colossus to not have the floodgate effect and I'd play it in a heartbeat just to ladder into Titan.
Another evolution of Winged Man like Flaming Winged Dragoon As an alternative to Mariner spawning from Avian and Bubbleman: Crystal Wingman or Glacial Wingman
Millennium-Eyes Restrict is also an upgrade in that unlike Thousand-Eyes, it doesn't have the (max 1) restriction for it's equip effect meaning it can trigger it's once per turn absorb effect for multiple turns and equip multiple monsters. Though in ways Millennium-Eyes is a side grade as it's attack blocking ability only affects same name monsters equipped to it while Thousand-Eyes has the effect constantly and for all monsters beside itself. Thousand-Eyes also has a bit of battle protection which Millennium-Eyes lacks. Thousand-Eyes' absorb effect also doesn't 'target'.
I honestly hate both Naturia Exterio and Thunder Dragon Colossus with a passion. Given I primarily play Pendulums in Master Duel, whenever my opponent summons either of them on the first turn I just concede, given how they just shut down my deck entirely.
Not to mention you can add nemeses corridor to your hand off of Cupid’s pitch, so you’re likely to go into some omni like borreload or baronne and get a free colossus
DPE is actually a combination of Shining Phoenix Enforcer and Destiny End Dragoon (having an upgraded version of its effect in every fashion). DPE "technically" had the same Fusion Material as DED (Dogma and Plasma can be fused for DPE)
"This meant that virtual world is capable of ending Calaga to floodgates your opponent into only using one monster effect." Me who doesn't play Yugioh with 0 knowledge of terminology: Ah interesting...
Summoning both Naturia Beast and Barkion is actually complicated but can be easy to summon: 1) Use DNA Transplant to turn all monsters into an Earth Attribute. 2) Then use a Lvl 3 monster that can be special summon on to your field, then special summon Psychic Tracker. 3) Then use a Lvl 2 or 3 Tuner monster to with Tracker to Synchro Summon Beast or Barkion respectively. 4) Once you do that wait until you get another Tuner monster to Synchro Summon the other monster, then you can Fusion Summon Exterio
18:30 I vividly remember when a friend of mine wanted to play with his first ever yugioh deck, which is shaddolls. As someone who just got back into the game thanks to the Crimson King sd I brought over my one copy of Crimson King and got absolutely beaten into the ground. We later switched to EDOPro, so we can test different cards before buying them, but also to learn to play our decks properly, as we very likely made dozens of mistakes when we played in person. I ran a more budget oriented build of Crimson King, but with a full Bystal package, which scared him enough in game one, that he did not want to summon Winda in game two. He later discovered Tearlaments and we still have to get together again, so he can test his Shaddoll + Tearlament deck and I can test both a new RDA version and the Ashened cards, because I'm curious if Ashened could break through the fusion spam that his deck will turbo through. At least Ashened would have options to deal with Winda's floodgate using Hero, Veidos, Superpoly or the other fusion effects from the 2nd wave cards. Or simply by bouncing Winda back with Spearhead. Though that all depends on wether or not his upgrades include some handtraps, as he did not run any in our last matches, while I tested the waters with running 3x ash in one of my Crimson King test decks.

when i was young and would play with friends for fun, the Thunder Dragon was awesome to use because we werent playing with competitive decks, and the idea of getting multiples of this guy and using Axe or something like that really worked out sometimes we forget how its like when youre just having a good time with card games
6:00 What I think would be fun to mention is while, yes, Dragon Destroyer is essential Skill Drain, it's effect has quite a bit of flavor for its lore. Allow me yo elaborate. The way I see it, after Buster Blader is forced to kill Buster Dragon and fusing with it (as seen in Karma and Fusion), Buster Blader began taking his anger of losing a valuable companion on the dragons he hunts, hence the extra attack buff. Not only that, but because he became more brutal, every dragon he came to face with feared his power for one reason or another, hence the massive floodgate effect, being essentially symbolic of his reputation in the minds of every dragon. But luckily there's a happy ending, as Whelp comes back as a spirit/ghost in Protector Whelp to continue helping their friend.
Ok, how is youtube playing a lyric video of Fireball by Pitbull instead of this video? Everything's correct except the actual video. Reloading fixed it but how did i get the wrong video but everything else is fine
Tbh people say metamorphosis can't come back because of exterio... Like what level 10 monster can you easily summon other then exodius the ultimate forbidden lord? Like think, also metamorphosis is used to advance a board rather than build one. In most cases if I had to pick between Instant Fusion and Metamorphosis when building a board, Instant Fusion man! Later in the turn? Depends on if I need an extender or need to end on something
Tbh I have been using Colossus In my master duel Spright / dragonmaid deck. Why not make the deck more annoying. just 3 matrix and you are chillin. Never realized how strong he can be
This is funny the number 1 spot is colossus and this was made 1 year ago. Now thunder dragon colossus is unbanned and limited to 1 in tcg now lol. Along with chicken game.
Colossus is more like 2 Thunder Dragondark fused or going by the actual materias 1 Dragondark + 1 original Thunder Dragon While Titan is 3 original Thunder Dragons ofc
Dragoon is not an evolution of Dark Paladin. It's another combinaison of Dark Magician plus an iconic monster from DM era. You can say it's another evolution of Dark Magician if you want, and one of (if not) the best of them.
hey can you ban/blacklist me from your channel pls? i dont want to watch your videos and even tho i pressed alot of times that "dont recommend me this channel"button, i still see your videos regularly

I'm sad that tearlaments were/are so powerful. I absolutely love the card art but I never bothered to make a deck because I knew they would keep getting hit so I didn't want to get attached.
Konami should just print pseudo-negates rather than omni-negates for no cost for boss monsters, omni -negates should either require the loss of field presence or be very archetype limited
Since a lot of these fusions are part of meta decks if you use them you are trash and if you want to argue this or gives a thumbs down you just proved I'm right
Fun fact: Destiny Hero Destroy Phoenix Enforcer is the fusion of the Og Phoenix Enfocer and Destiny Hero Plasma
Neos wingman is it's counterpart.
Two fusions of two ace monsters of jaden and aster.
And yet Hero players are still (probably) waiting on a Hero boss monster with a negate.

4) Once you do that wait until you get another Tuner monster to Synchro Summon the other monster, then you can Fusion Summon Exterio
I personally think in the anime Destiny HERO DPE is Elemental HERO phoenix enforcer fused with Destiny HERO Malicious.
18:30 I vividly remember when a friend of mine wanted to play with his first ever yugioh deck, which is shaddolls. As someone who just got back into the game thanks to the Crimson King sd I brought over my one copy of Crimson King and got absolutely beaten into the ground. We later switched to EDOPro, so we can test different cards before buying them, but also to learn to play our decks properly, as we very likely made dozens of mistakes when we played in person. I ran a more budget oriented build of Crimson King, but with a full Bystal package, which scared him enough in game one, that he did not want to summon Winda in game two.
He later discovered Tearlaments and we still have to get together again, so he can test his Shaddoll + Tearlament deck and I can test both a new RDA version and the Ashened cards, because I'm curious if Ashened could break through the fusion spam that his deck will turbo through. At least Ashened would have options to deal with Winda's floodgate using Hero, Veidos, Superpoly or the other fusion effects from the 2nd wave cards. Or simply by bouncing Winda back with Spearhead. Though that all depends on wether or not his upgrades include some handtraps, as he did not run any in our last matches, while I tested the waters with running 3x ash in one of my Crimson King test decks.

15:42 Cringe pun! Boo.
when i was young and would play with friends for fun, the Thunder Dragon was awesome to use because we werent playing with competitive decks, and the idea of getting multiples of this guy and using Axe or something like that really worked out
sometimes we forget how its like when youre just having a good time with card games
6:00 What I think would be fun to mention is while, yes, Dragon Destroyer is essential Skill Drain, it's effect has quite a bit of flavor for its lore. Allow me yo elaborate.
The way I see it, after Buster Blader is forced to kill Buster Dragon and fusing with it (as seen in Karma and Fusion), Buster Blader began taking his anger of losing a valuable companion on the dragons he hunts, hence the extra attack buff. Not only that, but because he became more brutal, every dragon he came to face with feared his power for one reason or another, hence the massive floodgate effect, being essentially symbolic of his reputation in the minds of every dragon.
But luckily there's a happy ending, as Whelp comes back as a spirit/ghost in Protector Whelp to continue helping their friend.
Ok, how is youtube playing a lyric video of Fireball by Pitbull instead of this video? Everything's correct except the actual video. Reloading fixed it but how did i get the wrong video but everything else is fine
LOSSUS 4EVR
ps even though I really like Colossus, as a former MD Thunder Dragon player and a current MD Rikka player, this post seems ironic
Tbh people say metamorphosis can't come back because of exterio... Like what level 10 monster can you easily summon other then exodius the ultimate forbidden lord? Like think, also metamorphosis is used to advance a board rather than build one. In most cases if I had to pick between Instant Fusion and Metamorphosis when building a board, Instant Fusion man! Later in the turn? Depends on if I need an extender or need to end on something
I love the Thunder Dragon cards, Between them and Exodia Builds, I can beat every character in the Legacy Of The Duelest Link Evolution Game
Tbh I have been using Colossus In my master duel Spright / dragonmaid deck. Why not make the deck more annoying. just 3 matrix and you are chillin. Never realized how strong he can be
This is funny the number 1 spot is colossus and this was made 1 year ago. Now thunder dragon colossus is unbanned and limited to 1 in tcg now lol. Along with chicken game.
I know I say this every time you bring them up, but
YEAAAA INVOKED DOGMATIKA SHADDOLL LETS GO
Colossus is more like 2 Thunder Dragondark fused or going by the actual materias 1 Dragondark + 1 original Thunder Dragon
While Titan is 3 original Thunder Dragons ofc
5:25 dragon players will literally quit if you have this card out. Also if you have dragon buster sword and wizard buster equipped to this card.
Dragoon is not an evolution of Dark Paladin. It's another combinaison of Dark Magician plus an iconic monster from DM era. You can say it's another evolution of Dark Magician if you want, and one of (if not) the best of them.
hey can you ban/blacklist me from your channel pls? i dont want to watch your videos and even tho i pressed alot of times that "dont recommend me this channel"button, i still see your videos regularly
I used Destiny hero celestial to bring out two cards to my hand next day it’s was banned I was sooo fukin piss you can’t do that max c let keep drawing like your whole deck like there no point of banning let’s us have fun Konami
I'm sad that tearlaments were/are so powerful. I absolutely love the card art but I never bothered to make a deck because I knew they would keep getting hit so I didn't want to get attached.
Konami should just print pseudo-negates rather than omni-negates for no cost for boss monsters, omni -negates should either require the loss of field presence or be very archetype limited
I remember facing someone doing this entire combo just to get exterio just for their soul to leave their body when I said super heavy Sam eff?
Bamboo shoot is superior to both Exterio, Beast and even Barkion. It renders everything useless.
I swear to god if Masteduel Leaves Rulkallos out of the Tearlament pack and makes us pull a whole new pack for it in a month I’ll be so mad.
Since a lot of these fusions are part of meta decks if you use them you are trash and if you want to argue this or gives a thumbs down you just proved I'm right
I hope the add the new Grapha to master duel, i bought the structure deck irl and haven't bought a yugioh pack in awhile
I hope the add the new Grapha to master duel, i bought the structure deck irl and haven't bought a yugioh pack in awhile
I'd say Colossus is the evolution of Thunder DragonDark rather than the vanilla Thunder Dragon
I swear to money, if Dark World is meta, I will quit the game due to sheer PTSD.
A problem though: colossus is 100% an evo of dragondark not regular thunder dragon
Be me,a thunder dragon user in master duels who didn't know how powerful colossus was and only used him to get out titan.
i have an idea for top 10. decks/cards that didn't see play on release but had an eventual resurgence in use
still waitin for the day, Konami will upgrade/retrain the 2 skull servant fusions
I'm surprised Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon isn't here in this list but still cool.
Hearing Tearlaments called “rogue” sounds so wrong after the Tear Ishizu format
Instant fusion was helpful for me to summon the restrict monsters in master duel but sadly it got banned.
i disagree with the choice of exterio being an evolution. its just the combination of its materials because its a … fusion
With buster blader, I just use DNA surgery to turn my opponents monsters into dragons
I would like to see the rainbow dragon fusion if You make a second video about fusion evolution.
Do you duel on all platforms, or on just master duel? If on master duel what is ur rank? 🤔
