While I do see the value in Pot of Greed, I do prefer Graceful Charity more since one of my summons depends on having certain monsters in my graveyard.
@@MaggieCandy999 pretty much every archetype has its share of cards that have effects in the gy so graceful charity is even more overpowered than pot of greed at this point
@@davedunmire2278 from where? My deck? my opponent's deck? The graveyard? My sidedeck or the cards i have at home? So many questions iam confused more now
Then you draw 2 pot of greed cards, each causing you to draw 2 cards meaning you would draw an extra 4 more pots of greed in total, then you draw 8 cards, then 16, then 32, then 64.....
I love how in the early days of Yu Gi Oh, so many of the spell cards were completely broken (even by today's standards), but most of the monster cards were (at least by today's standards) pretty much unplayable.
its the same in every card game funny enough. Magics early creatures are garbage compared to black lotus and the power 9. Pokemons early trainer cards are busted draw power to draw into what? basic pokemon
I think these cards weren't broken when they came out precisely because there weren't any strong monsters that could fully take advantage of their effects. They only became broken when those stronger monsters were released. Back when Konami designed those cards, they thought that paying life points and sending cards to your graveyard were actual downsides.
@@ich3730 this is only semi-true of magic. I decided to peer into the set list for Alpha; besides not actually having a lot of creatures, there's a nice handful that are still recognizable today as they're playable still. Ofc no one's playing lord of the pit anymore but the mans producing creatures and lord effects are definitely still welcome somewhere in the game.
@@ich3730 Yeah true. I can't understand who thought that Time Walk was a good idea. Even in early 90s Magic. Force of Will is still one of the the best card in every format it's legal and even its more balanced Reprint in form of Force of Negation sees a massive amount of play.
I think that was sort of the point. You (the player, duelest, whatever) were casting spells to support the monsters that you were summoning. I think it was an RP kind of thing. Most monsters were normal monsters that had to beat over other things to get you a victory, so spell cards had to be good.
@@zisischartampilas6601 it really wasn't difficult back when it first came out. I played since the game was released. There were so many ways to swarm the field with what was needed. I just got back into the game again after 7 years. Nice to see they finally added more stuff for certain meta decks. Still waiting too see if they upgrade X-Sabers, since that was my go to deck. Was super fast, and super strong back then. But now, it needs support from other arch types. But anyways, V-Dragon was really easy to get out and win, along with other Monsters that needed 3 monsters for tribute. In fact, from what I've seen, it's really super easy now to bring out any monster that needs 3 tributes
Everyone be like "This didn't age well Makyura is unbanned now." Have you watched the part where he predicted the exact errata the card received to get off the list ?
It STILL didn't age well. Spellbook of Judgement came back on the OCG and has done NOTHING, and is very likely to come back on the TCG as well in a couple of weeks.
I still don't think it would be that big of a deal considering you still have to tribute 3 monsters and it's match win is pretty situational and tough to pull off
@@stevenceja4706 Still, having the ability to win two matches at once is obnoxious, disregarding it’s downsides, and knowing that you can have some type of setup to make achieving the effect easier
I don‘t think you can surrender ones he is on the field cause what’s the point then? You summon him your oppenent just surrender and you just win this game doesn‘t make sense tbh
@@maniachd324 Best of three matches are played. It was said in the video. Also, it’s better to lose one match then to lose the best of three altogether, cause then you just lose.
So basically: Trap cards are too slow to see actual play But if you make them faster they are too strong ... Broken game mechanic? The way I see it konami broke their own game by overdoing graveyard effects, which made the game continousely faster and faster until it reached a point where an activation in the "next turn" was already considered too slow ... what the hell man
Yep. Especially since we even have traps that activate from the hands now

What you have to understand is the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh card game has been there for like 20 years. Everytime they release new cards, they have to make them stronger than the last cards that they released, otherwise there would be no point in buying new cards, meaning Konami would not make money. So when you have game that has been out for like 20 years, you will have to start releasing "broken" cards and with time (20 years worth of time) it will come to the point where the game mechanics that were thought of at the beginning (trap cards) might become "slow" compared to what the meta game is.
@ Yeah no, of course some sort of power creep HAS to happen, i fully understand (and actually support) that. New cards with powerful effects keep the game interesting after all. What I dont understand is how the developers and smart heads over there at konami can even let it happen that players now borderline consider the graveyard as a second hand. As I said, they just went overboard with the graveyard effects imo

If someone attacked me directly with victory dragon, I would honestly let the attack go through just because of the trouble they went through just to get it out and clear my board.
There was an autistic kid at the shop I used to play at that would play VD. The one time he managed to get it out on me we ended up in time cause he couldnt get through my Spirit Reaper. I ended up winning cause he had no removal for it. And this is also back in 2009ish for clarity.
There was a time when the graveyard was just that: a collection of destroyed monsters and used-up spells/traps. A card sent to the graveyard was as definite disadvantage. But soon the effects that can recycle cards from the graveyard became so commonplace, they came up with the concept of "removing cards from play", which later became known as "banishment". Now, however, we have cards that can reliably recycle banished cards as well, so I wonder what'll be next. A new term like "utterly eradicating" cards, maybe? :P
Yeah they just gave too many revive resummon options. Should of just fixed those and be done rather than making a whole knew mechanic and concept to be then missused again. Its a hole that just keeps diggin. Simple fix less revive cards/effects.

I'm surprised butterfly dagger never got updated version to say "by an opponent's effect" or something to limit how many times it could come back per turn.
I guess they don't see the point since by today's standard it would be poo. Not that it was good back then outside of combo either. Mage Power was far better
To be fair, the rules are really finicky with a lot of cards, and when you’re in a duel you don’t want to stop and spent a solid minute mulling over each card that’s played

The funny thing about Painful Choice, is that when you look at it you just think "oh, it's an old card that's broken today because of the changes in meta". Except no. It was already played to abuse graveyard effects in the original anime. Not even tournament play, the frigging anime. This thing has always been kind of busted, it's just better than ever now.

There were so many better choices to include on that list. The thing about SoJ is that it is as good as the spell book cards that it adds to the hand. The duellogs even had a list about broken cards that will never be used because of their weak archetypes and spellbooks are relatively weak now

Nah, cards like that take too long to resolve cuz the player spends 10 minutes choosing his 5 cards, then you have to spend another 10 minutes selecting the card they keep.
Wow, it took me like 10 years to finally realize what victory dragon’s special effect actually meant 😂😂😂 I always thought it was very stupid how if you reduce their life points to zero then win the match. And I’m like “no shit I win” I didn’t know you actually won the next match too lol
@@francisluglio6611 but the definition of the word match means different than by yugioh standards, I was a kid when I played that shit. So calm down buddy lol
I think Temple of the Kings is a pretty underrated card. It's an unlimited continuous spell card that has a similar effect to Makyura the Destroyer, in which trap cards can be activated the turn they are set. It also allows you to summon The Mystical Beast of Serket, and can be sent to the graveyard along with Serket to summon any monster from your deck or any fusion monster from your extra deck. I use it in my sphinx deck.

Since it battles a DARK monster, mahad’s attack doubles to 5000. Yubel reflects the 5000 to my opponent, defeating him instantly. I’m so mad I didn’t remember to save this as a duel replay. Did send my opponent a “nice!” After I finished laughing my ass off, though
Last Turn got gutted by rulings long ago and could come back no problem. The main reason it could be used to cheese wins was because back then you could activate cards regardless of board state. You would just resolve the effect as much as possible (wich meant you could use something like ROTA without warriors on the deck just to have an easily activatable spell if you needed to, mainly in Magical Explosion FTK) Right now, you wouldn't even be able to legally activate the card if a summon floodgate is active on the field. Additionally, the main way to drop yourself below 1000 LP, Inspection, was clarified by rulings to be a hard once per turn, even if the text of the card was never updated. And even assuming you managed to jump through the hoops and get out a retardedly massive monster like Gren Maju to safely resolve Last Turn (that for some reason you couldn't just use to beat your opponent on it's own), the card is just too slow to ever be useful anymore.
Self destruct button was a fun card to troll friends back in the day, lol. They would be all like, yay I'm winning. Then activate self-destruct button and watch the glaring commence. My girlfriend at the time was a huge fan of using Final countdown. Which isn't nearly as good anymore given how stupidly crappy the game has become now... But back then, we hated her so much for activating that card every freaking duel! So then it became now I have to speed up and hope you lose before the final turn.

Also there was like no way to send a card to the grave short of tributing, and because it's not quickplay you can't activate it on your opponents turn after they've killed your monster.

I remember it being possible to get a 0TK with my setup, but never knew if I could achieve it in practice. Lo and behold, this one duel started between me and an online opponent. I had Makyura in my hand and my opponent had the first turn, where they played Card of Destruction LMAO.

@@dark_rit That's partially why I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh! in decades. Because Konami banned a lot of my favorite cards, and a lot of the new cards just aren't as appealing as the earlier ones. Hense why I started looking at replacement cards for my deck, such as the Magician Girl archetype.
@@dark_rit Drawing 2 cards is not really the broken part about the card (a lot of archetype cards can do that too, sometimes even better), the broken part is that every single deck will just auto include this card as it is neither situational nor has any downsides, it's never wrong to play this card. If they would keep printing those kind of staple cards, every deck would be made of the same cards, which reduces deck and meta diversity massively.
@@dg2drunk yeah pot of greed ain't really broken. To me the link decks and the pendulums and the xyz decks are quite broken. Especially xyz decks can end the match I'm the 1st turn with their combos. Quite annoying. Master duel just needs to add pot of greed and more if the og cards.
I remember Victory Dragon from playing Yu-gi-oh Spirit caller years ago, never understood the point of the effect “well if you reduce their life points to zero, you win anyway, so what’s the point” probably just as useless in the game, but now I see it’s potential strength
Even if it wasn't good from even a slightly competitive standpoint, I loved to use Painful choice in my magnet warrior deck back in school, along with cards like Dark Factory of Mass Production, or backup soldier. Sure it wasn't the best deck, but most people my age ran bricky decks with too many monsters they couldn't actually summon.
There are lots of cards that let you draw or mill on your opponents turn. Sixth sense was broken because of the magnitude it milled or drew for the cost of it.
It was a ruling nightmare. If a player wasn’t paying attention and they attack for game and they realized that he was attacking with it, they would surrender. Then there would most likely be a judge call, maybe an argument, then they would go to the next game.

Actually, since pot of greed can fit in every deck and I mean every deck. It would make it a more Superior card. Plus some cards don't like to be discarded. So technically pot of greed is still the superior card. Granted now, decks that like to be discarded in the graveyard would benefit greatly from graceful charity more so than simply pot of greed. Nonetheless the facts still remain, pot of greed is still a far more broken card.

Where you equip it to gearfried and have it be destroyed continuously while you have morale boost on the field and inflict effect damage with fire princess.

Painful Choice is one of my favorite cards ever. It’s effect was too good even in pre synchro formats lmao. Just imagine the havoc it would cause in today’s format.
I'd consider myself a casual Yu-Gi-Oh fan and I've always enjoyed playing the game. But I'll say I think right now is the hardest time to get into Yu-Gi-Oh. There are so many different kind of cards that you have to learn about. Synchro, Tuner, Ritual, Fusion, Toon, XYZ etc. It's good for the fans that have been around for a long time looking for something new to mix up the meta. But IMO it makes it harder and even scary to get into the current meta. What do you guys think?
1 year late here but I'm gonna reply anyway, the different cards mechanic are not even that hard to learn, it's relatively easy, the hardest part is learning the rules, example "if this card" and "when this card", for casual perspective they're both the same but according to the rules it's different and one could cause "missing the timing" it's when the monster missed the timing to activate it's effect
Same as you i was a fan of the classic anime and the first printed cards but i cant deal with the current stuff. Its just too much over the top for my taste.

I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh! in 16-17 years and know absolutely nothing about the current meta. I find it funny, though, that I am still familiar with about half of the cards on this list. This list resonated with me because my favorite card of all time is Painful Choice. Before it was banned, of course, I used to run it. This seems like a no-brainer to everyone nowadays, but when it came out, at least in my Yu-Gi-Oh! circle, nobody ran it. I was sort of the first (in my group and card shoppe, that is,) to recognize its brokenness. I was so notorious for my Painful Choice plays that on one memorable occasion, my opponent gave up immediately after I went into a 'long think' and then played Painful Choice. He knew that after my various calculations that I would only play it if it meant I would essentially win. I think the art is awesome, too.
Learn Japanese From Some Guy I mean, with an effect that basically screams, "I will choose 5 cards from my deck where all of them are equally really good in the graveyard, then force my opponent to choose which combo piece stays in my hand and the rest is dumped into my 'second' hand", it's no surprise that a card like this has no chance of getting out of the banlist. This is a card that's just utter bonkers in most meta/graveyard decks.
@@juwanbantug5465 Oh yeah, no doubt. It is a ridiculous card. I don't know how long you have been playing, but at the time, though, the graveyard wasn't really seen as a 'second hand.' The meta was so different then that it wasn't strange to think of Painful Choice as a bad card.
@@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy I honestly haven't played YGO ever since the XYZ era. What I am aware of is that even back then, certain decks/archetypes (Ex. Lightsworn, Dark World, most zombie decks, etc.) wanted cards in the graveyard to start/extend their combos. Painful Choice is essentially a combo accelerator (and not just an extender) to these kinds of decks as not only was this card an easy way to fill your graveyard, but you yourself also got the ability to select multiple cards that you wanted to be in the graveyard, rather than wait for a few turns to draw those cards, or find some card/effect that allowed you to send a specific combo piece to the graveyard. It's essentially a Foolish Burial on steroids that could also allow you to send Spell/Trap cards that are better off in the graveyard.
@@juwanbantug5465 Yeah, for sure. I understand how the card works and why it is good. I am not sure you and I are talking about the same thing, though. The point I was just trying to make is that when the Magic Ruler set came out (2002), Painful Choice wasn't broken at all. So, running it in your deck was somewhat rare. I was simply stating that I loved this card and despite not being considered broken at the time, I had a lot of success with it much to the surprise of my opponents who considered it a lesser card (which, again, was common at the time).
@@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy I was introduced to YGO during the GX to 5D's era, so the meta I played in may have been different and slightly faster than what it was during the infancy stages of the game. During that time, there was a bigger emphasis on sending things to the graveyard, rather than waiting to draw it out or manually searching it.
Oh my god. I have the last card in the Japanese version. I didn't know how it end up in my card collection and also what it did since it was in Japanese. Thank you dude.
Okay, giving myself a challenge, how would I errata these cards to make them worthy of removal from the forbidden list: 10) Not a clue. 9) Like you said. Make it a hard once per turn.... that can/should also probably be applied to the other cards where possible. 8) Uhhh, include restrictions that keep you from playing it turn 1, like your opponent has to control a monster or 2? 7) Make it so you can only summon a normal monster with that.... I think that would do it. 6) Hmm, well the problem here is the amount of GY set-up it causes, so maybe if it just Banished the cards (face-down) instead of sending them to the GY, that would be enough?.... Oh, you suggested that yourself, Okay. 5) Oh, boy...... this one is tough. Uhhh, Okay, I think the only real way to do it is to go ham on the downsides, 1st, make it so that every spell card that is activated after that card resolves that turn (i.e. the cards it counts to determine how plus you get) will be banished face-down after resolution. 2nd, make it a hard once per duel. 3rd....... ohhhh, not so sure what to do for the third, but I feel like a third is necessary.... uhh, you loose a stack of life points for every card added to your hand? 4) Okay, again hard once per turn.... actually, maybe not even a hard once per turn, knowing how Supply Squad is doing. Either way, just limit the per-turn usage and you should be good..... and again, you mention that yourself. In case you couldn't tell, I am writing/typing this is I watch the video, pausing the video so I have time to do this. 3) Not so sure what to do with this one.... kinda to iconic to change. And any restriction I could add would probably be used to make a different card instead, after all, how many different weaker versions of this card are there that still see play, Desires and Extravagance are just the 2 most obvious ones. 2) Ugh, the iconic cards are kicking my rear end on this one. I don't want to skip out on 2 in a row. I guess, maybe, make it so that the cards you discard are random and that they get banished face-down instead? 1) Oooo, should have released this list sooner....

I'm a Dark World guy and i would love it if Graceful Charity got unbanned. It's not gonna happen because that card is disgusting, but goddamn that would be cool for any discard deck to have that
I remember the turbo dark world stories on the forums of all the busted cards being in the deck at one or so, the deck had like 9 win con spell cards plus the dark world engine
I loved the video, as much as I think the Victory Dragon sucks. A suggestion, how about a video of the best XYZ monsters that need 2 materials to activate their effects
You're the first person in ages I've actually heard even suggesting changing the effects of banned cards; even when I was a kid I thought it made so much more sense to troubleshoot banned cards and just reprint them with reworked effects, it seems like such a waste to only use in agreed casual games. I started back in 2002 when the first EN prints came out and have been on and off since; returning again to MD and discovering Morphing Jar wasn't banned or changed was a great day for me, it's in most of my MD decks.
An errata does happen sometimes. It's not always possible without using the spirit of the first card and always causes confusion (as you can use an older card with a text different form the rela effect).
If you're complaining about those cards, you haven't packed enough MSTs in your deck, or even Spiritualism, the first "cannot be negated" card in the game.
Spell book of Judgement got unbanned and placed in limited in the ocg in the 2022 August banlist, maybe when power creep in the tcg gets to a point it might get unbanned in the tcg as well
I feel like change of heart should've been an honorable mention. Also I know monster reborn was unbanned a while ago and became limited I think, but I think that also deserved an honorable mention due to how silly that card was.
I use foolish burial in my phantom knights deck, While many newbies say that its effect is completly useless, I use it a lot and I think it being limited is VERY fair.
There is no way they are banning preerrata Makyura before the errata becomes a thing in the TCG now, so the meme of "Makyura is not a banned card" will be eternal.

I love how in the early days of Yu Gi Oh, so many of the spell cards were completely broken (even by today's standards), but most of the monster cards were (at least by today's standards) pretty much unplayable.
its the same in every card game funny enough. Magics early creatures are garbage compared to black lotus and the power 9. Pokemons early trainer cards are busted draw power to draw into what? basic pokemon
I think these cards weren't broken when they came out precisely because there weren't any strong monsters that could fully take advantage of their effects. They only became broken when those stronger monsters were released. Back when Konami designed those cards, they thought that paying life points and sending cards to your graveyard were actual downsides.
@@ich3730 this is only semi-true of magic. I decided to peer into the set list for Alpha; besides not actually having a lot of creatures, there's a nice handful that are still recognizable today as they're playable still. Ofc no one's playing lord of the pit anymore but the mans producing creatures and lord effects are definitely still welcome somewhere in the game.
@@ich3730 Yeah true. I can't understand who thought that Time Walk was a good idea. Even in early 90s Magic. Force of Will is still one of the the best card in every format it's legal and even its more balanced Reprint in form of Force of Negation sees a massive amount of play.
I think that was sort of the point. You (the player, duelest, whatever) were casting spells to support the monsters that you were summoning. I think it was an RP kind of thing. Most monsters were normal monsters that had to beat over other things to get you a victory, so spell cards had to be good.

So basically:
Trap cards are too slow to see actual play
But if you make them faster they are too strong ... Broken game mechanic?
The way I see it konami broke their own game by overdoing graveyard effects, which made the game continousely faster and faster until it reached a point where an activation in the "next turn" was already considered too slow ... what the hell man
Yep. Especially since we even have traps that activate from the hands now
What you have to understand is the fact that Yu-Gi-Oh card game has been there for like 20 years. Everytime they release new cards, they have to make them stronger than the last cards that they released, otherwise there would be no point in buying new cards, meaning Konami would not make money.
So when you have game that has been out for like 20 years, you will have to start releasing "broken" cards and with time (20 years worth of time) it will come to the point where the game mechanics that were thought of at the beginning (trap cards) might become "slow" compared to what the meta game is.
I would say they overmade search and speacial summon effects. If solatire decks would not exist trap card would be usable.
@ Yeah no, of course some sort of power creep HAS to happen, i fully understand (and actually support) that. New cards with powerful effects keep the game interesting after all.
What I dont understand is how the developers and smart heads over there at konami can even let it happen that players now borderline consider the graveyard as a second hand. As I said, they just went overboard with the graveyard effects imo
@@TheFeri Yes as the saying goes, special summon is not that special anymore :D

There was a time when the graveyard was just that: a collection of destroyed monsters and used-up spells/traps. A card sent to the graveyard was as definite disadvantage. But soon the effects that can recycle cards from the graveyard became so commonplace, they came up with the concept of "removing cards from play", which later became known as "banishment". Now, however, we have cards that can reliably recycle banished cards as well, so I wonder what'll be next. A new term like "utterly eradicating" cards, maybe? :P
Now, "face-down" banished cards are nearly really "removed from play" (nearly, not identical, because there are still cards that can recycle those)
"Draw 2 cards. Choose one card from your hand and tear it to pieces."
Yeah they just gave too many revive resummon options. Should of just fixed those and be done rather than making a whole knew mechanic and concept to be then missused again. Its a hole that just keeps diggin. Simple fix less revive cards/effects.
What about "Consumed", where you force your opponent to fucking eat the card.
Banish face down. Also one card can “remove from the duel” which was one step worse than remove from play / banish

Honorable mentions: Last Turn (easy way to gimmick out wins/draws), Self-Destruct Button (ultimate troll)
Last Turn got gutted by rulings long ago and could come back no problem.
The main reason it could be used to cheese wins was because back then you could activate cards regardless of board state. You would just resolve the effect as much as possible (wich meant you could use something like ROTA without warriors on the deck just to have an easily activatable spell if you needed to, mainly in Magical Explosion FTK)
Right now, you wouldn't even be able to legally activate the card if a summon floodgate is active on the field.
Additionally, the main way to drop yourself below 1000 LP, Inspection, was clarified by rulings to be a hard once per turn, even if the text of the card was never updated.
And even assuming you managed to jump through the hoops and get out a retardedly massive monster like Gren Maju to safely resolve Last Turn (that for some reason you couldn't just use to beat your opponent on it's own), the card is just too slow to ever be useful anymore.
Self destruct button was a fun card to troll friends back in the day, lol. They would be all like, yay I'm winning. Then activate self-destruct button and watch the glaring commence. My girlfriend at the time was a huge fan of using Final countdown. Which isn't nearly as good anymore given how stupidly crappy the game has become now...
But back then, we hated her so much for activating that card every freaking duel! So then it became now I have to speed up and hope you lose before the final turn. Hell I even used it and one of my old decks. Even had pyro clock of destiny to speed up a little.

There's zero potential strength with a card that can be negated by just saying "You win".
Even if it wasn't good from even a slightly competitive standpoint, I loved to use Painful choice in my magnet warrior deck back in school, along with cards like Dark Factory of Mass Production, or backup soldier. Sure it wasn't the best deck, but most people my age ran bricky decks with too many monsters they couldn't actually summon.
sixth sense should be on this list. Being able to draw or mill on your opponents turn is crazy.
There are lots of cards that let you draw or mill on your opponents turn. Sixth sense was broken because of the magnitude it milled or drew for the cost of it.
@@theonethathungers5552 Sixth sense has no cost though but yh
*Tosses 1
Not all decks fit with Sixth Sense but yeah its still op
"Can counter this effect by simply surrendering the duel before its attack takes place"
*Me:
O_O
It was a ruling nightmare. If a player wasn’t paying attention and they attack for game and they realized that he was attacking with it, they would surrender. Then there would most likely be a judge call, maybe an argument, then they would go to the next game.
That card came out and was legal for 2 months if that also it was hard to get it wasnt played often at all
@@theonethathungers5552 you coudlnt surrender unless your opponent agreed
@@annajansen5280 Victory Dragon made it to March 1st, 2007, whilst Cyberstein didn't.
Let that sink in.
To elaborate: in December 2006 they made an emergency change to ban Cyberstein.
It's wild to think about how scary card draw is to the Yu-Gi-Oh meta when other TCGs are like "please draw your entire deck". And yes, Graceful Charity is stronger than Pot of Greed, even Magic banned their version of Graceful Charity while printing stuff that's basically Pot of Greed into blue all the time.
what are you talking about, there is no effect in magic that lets you draw 2 without any cost.
@@ich3730 ancestral visions can very easily be casted for free off of a plethora of cascade spells that are in of themselves decently stat creatures/spells. And it draws 3 cards.
You gi oh is unique to any other TCG in that there is no cost requirement for the busted stuff, it's easy to have balanced card draw when things cost stuff to play and decks aren't 40 cards, but to me that's what makes yu gi oh so fun, is that there are a million ways that can win and do it consistently because the deck functions like a toolbox more than a deck
Actually, since pot of greed can fit in every deck and I mean every deck. It would make it a more Superior card. Plus some cards don't like to be discarded. So technically pot of greed is still the superior card. Granted now, decks that like to be discarded in the graveyard would benefit greatly from graceful charity more so than simply pot of greed. Nonetheless the facts still remain, pot of greed is still a far more broken card.
@@coreygolphenee9633a million ways to win? The game is now "make an unbreakable board on the first turn so my opponent can't play", how are there a million ways to win

Number 11: New Volcanic Support
Day 389 of waiting for New Volcanic Support to arrive
I happy that madolche is much better in MR5 but i still want volcanic support as my 2nd fav deck to play
Hey Payne, do you think Konami will make new photon support?
Konami has the volcanic supoort but they wont release it until when the format gets way too unbalanced
Wow what dedication I'm a follower on your Twitter and I hope you get that volcanic support
And your photo is Volcano Squidward xD
I mean you could also do like a flint lick kind of combo with butterfly dagger. Where you equip it to gearfried and have it be destroyed continuously while you have morale boost on the field and inflict effect damage with fire princess. But since the card has to be destroyed unlike the flint spell card which stays on the field but is just passed on so you don’t take the effect damage from morale boost. However with the butterfly dagger strategy you would since it has to go to the graveyard. You could easily just combat this with something like rainbow life however. A very overpowered card indeed
lol never thought about the surrender thing against victorydragon thx
elma can literatly just have HOPT added to it and it can be unbanned.
Same as card of safe return
That's an actual errata that I'd be fine with. Unlike what they did to my boys crush card virus and brain control
Doesn't it miss timing ? Not that it isn't really good.
@@spirameowmeow if you add that once per turn, it might be a little broken, but able to be limited.
@@daneiltherat2327 yeah
Extremely glad you mentioned Makyura and Exchange at the end. Those are the best broken combo
Another note on Card of Safe Return ... it states "When A monster ..." that includes your opponent's monsters as well
I remember when card of safe return was semi limited, I used two of them in tandem in my zombie deck so I could just go red eyes zombie beatdown and then keep special summoning from opponent graveyard and also get a hand advantage
good times
The nostalgia in this video is amazing! Dueling in the earlier days were so much fun!
I honestly want to know what the hell Konami was thinking when they made spell book a judgment bc that card is insanely op
The only thing I could think of was that it could be used in the mirror as a Maxx c because that was the ultimate hilarious play in 2013, the fact that d rulers could still absolutely smash that deck with that card as a 3 of shows you how busted that format was
Need to change the name of the game from Yu-Gi-Oh, to Once Per Turn.
aka Once per Duel
That’s what yugioh roughly translates to
As far as I understand, that's the new Rush Duels game from Sevens (and yes, new GAME, not ruleset, since you have to buy all new cards to play it, you can't use regular OCG or TCG cards).
A lot of these cards are from the early days of the game. For fun and nostalgia, I like to play YuGiOh Eternal Duelist Soul from the Gameboy system, and a lot of these banned cards show up in the game. I actually don't use most of them, because at the time, most of them were nothing super special. It's only now that time had gone on and the game had changed so much that these cards are op
One more subtle thing about Makurya's nerf is that his effect now activates; previously, it was just kind of there and so your opponent could not stop it. Now it can be countered with Solemn Strike and the like.
who is here after makyura is actually un banned
Well yeah, after it's effect got completely changed and super nerfed. Which he mentioned was the only way these cards would get off the banlist.
Paulo Machado eh the effect is still decent and you can still OTKs with is but yeah it’s still a super old errataed card.
@@jonathanxiang6658 This actually makes mill decks unbelievably good... FTK good in fact, all thanks to having 4 different generic foolish burial effects, Armageddon Knight, Dark Grepher, Foolish Burial, or simply add it to hand with things like RoTA and dump him off with cards like in the Danger! Archetype. With Danger! monsters you're almost guaranteed to have 15 monsters in the GY, so then use Zaborg to pile their extra deck into their GY and use Makyura's effect to use Exchange of The Spirit and dunk on your opponent's deck turn 1. Job done.

Funny that the youtube algortim reproposed to me this video now that spellbook of judgment has just been unbanned in ocg.
That's my favorite thing about playing yugioh digitally, playing with insane ban cards and garnering a true understanding of why they are banned lol.
What game and where
@@hitmonchan52 even in master duel alot of the cards are not banned and he says in the video, upstart goblin is limited to 1 while I am running 3 on my Exodia Deck, and alot of other cards he mentioned, U can 1st turn win the duel 90% of the time if you go first with that deck, i think a ban list is underway ig.
Ah, last will... I remember feeling like a genius for using last will to special summon cyber-stein, and then using its effect to get a blue-eyes ultimate dragon on the field back in the days of the early DS yugioh games. good times.
I actually used Butterfly Dagger in a combo with Woodland sprite. Those were the good old days.
Painful Choice is one of my favorite cards ever. It’s effect was too good even in pre synchro formats lmao. Just imagine the havoc it would cause in today’s format.
Preme Jon i have a feeling that some day konami will release reptile support cards that make snake rain the next painful choice
@@PhuckedUpPhilosophy Nah they are aware of that card, and reptiles are terrible
I'd consider myself a casual Yu-Gi-Oh fan and I've always enjoyed playing the game. But I'll say I think right now is the hardest time to get into Yu-Gi-Oh. There are so many different kind of cards that you have to learn about. Synchro, Tuner, Ritual, Fusion, Toon, XYZ etc. It's good for the fans that have been around for a long time looking for something new to mix up the meta. But IMO it makes it harder and even scary to get into the current meta. What do you guys think?
1 year late here but I'm gonna reply anyway, the different cards mechanic are not even that hard to learn, it's relatively easy, the hardest part is learning the rules, example "if this card" and "when this card", for casual perspective they're both the same but according to the rules it's different and one could cause "missing the timing" it's when the monster missed the timing to activate it's effect
Same as you i was a fan of the classic anime and the first printed cards but i cant deal with the current stuff. Its just too much over the top for my taste.
@@ifdy1361 you should seriously check out rush duels, they are so much simpler and a "back to basics' with an entirely new but easy format to learn. so many old players are getting back into yu-gi-oh with them
No one uses toons…
@@ifdy1361 i dont mind learning new cards, but i seriously have a problem with people using over 5minutes on their first turn. Or i get to go first and manage to cancel 2-3 effects and they Insta surrender. Its jus shit.
With the butterfly dagger a nice spell card to use is spell absorption, when a spell card is played gain 500 lp. So infinite health
I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh! in 16-17 years and know absolutely nothing about the current meta. I find it funny, though, that I am still familiar with about half of the cards on this list.
This list resonated with me because my favorite card of all time is Painful Choice. Before it was banned, of course, I used to run it. This seems like a no-brainer to everyone nowadays, but when it came out, at least in my Yu-Gi-Oh! circle, nobody ran it. I was sort of the first (in my group and card shoppe, that is,) to recognize its brokenness.
I was so notorious for my Painful Choice plays that on one memorable occasion, my opponent gave up immediately after I went into a 'long think' and then played Painful Choice. He knew that after my various calculations that I would only play it if it meant I would essentially win.
I think the art is awesome, too.
Learn Japanese From Some Guy I mean, with an effect that basically screams, "I will choose 5 cards from my deck where all of them are equally really good in the graveyard, then force my opponent to choose which combo piece stays in my hand and the rest is dumped into my 'second' hand", it's no surprise that a card like this has no chance of getting out of the banlist.
This is a card that's just utter bonkers in most meta/graveyard decks.
@@juwanbantug5465 Oh yeah, no doubt. It is a ridiculous card. I don't know how long you have been playing, but at the time, though, the graveyard wasn't really seen as a 'second hand.' The meta was so different then that it wasn't strange to think of Painful Choice as a bad card.
@@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy I honestly haven't played YGO ever since the XYZ era. What I am aware of is that even back then, certain decks/archetypes (Ex. Lightsworn, Dark World, most zombie decks, etc.) wanted cards in the graveyard to start/extend their combos.
Painful Choice is essentially a combo accelerator (and not just an extender) to these kinds of decks as not only was this card an easy way to fill your graveyard, but you yourself also got the ability to select multiple cards that you wanted to be in the graveyard, rather than wait for a few turns to draw those cards, or find some card/effect that allowed you to send a specific combo piece to the graveyard. It's essentially a Foolish Burial on steroids that could also allow you to send Spell/Trap cards that are better off in the graveyard.
@@juwanbantug5465 Yeah, for sure. I understand how the card works and why it is good. I am not sure you and I are talking about the same thing, though. The point I was just trying to make is that when the Magic Ruler set came out (2002), Painful Choice wasn't broken at all. So, running it in your deck was somewhat rare. I was simply stating that I loved this card and despite not being considered broken at the time, I had a lot of success with it much to the surprise of my opponents who considered it a lesser card (which, again, was common at the time).
@@Learnjapanesefromsomeguy I was introduced to YGO during the GX to 5D's era, so the meta I played in may have been different and slightly faster than what it was during the infancy stages of the game. During that time, there was a bigger emphasis on sending things to the graveyard, rather than waiting to draw it out or manually searching it.
Back to the old days, when yugioh cards are just pure joy because of these HILARIOUS kind of cards with no strings attached
Spellbook of judgment not coming back? This aged like milk...

Top 10 Banned Cards that got an errata but nobody uses them
Crush card number 1 for sure then
Virizion Green basically almost every card that got an errata
@@kippoilmagikarp imperial order is still used granted it's at 1 but it's still good
Loo Boo that’s because i said almost
Futur fusion definitly on the list or probably ring of destruction too
Makyura and Spellbook of Judgement: "Well, that didn't age well..."
makyura had an errata to be fair
Okay, giving myself a challenge, how would I errata these cards to make them worthy of removal from the forbidden list:
10) Not a clue.
9) Like you said. Make it a hard once per turn.... that can/should also probably be applied to the other cards where possible.
8) Uhhh, include restrictions that keep you from playing it turn 1, like your opponent has to control a monster or 2?
7) Make it so you can only summon a normal monster with that.... I think that would do it.
6) Hmm, well the problem here is the amount of GY set-up it causes, so maybe if it just Banished the cards (face-down) instead of sending them to the GY, that would be enough?.... Oh, you suggested that yourself, Okay.
5) Oh, boy...... this one is tough. Uhhh, Okay, I think the only real way to do it is to go ham on the downsides, 1st, make it so that every spell card that is activated after that card resolves that turn (i.e. the cards it counts to determine how plus you get) will be banished face-down after resolution. 2nd, make it a hard once per duel. 3rd....... ohhhh, not so sure what to do for the third, but I feel like a third is necessary.... uhh, you loose a stack of life points for every card added to your hand?
4) Okay, again hard once per turn.... actually, maybe not even a hard once per turn, knowing how Supply Squad is doing. Either way, just limit the per-turn usage and you should be good..... and again, you mention that yourself. In case you couldn't tell, I am writing/typing this is I watch the video, pausing the video so I have time to do this.
3) Not so sure what to do with this one.... kinda to iconic to change. And any restriction I could add would probably be used to make a different card instead, after all, how many different weaker versions of this card are there that still see play, Desires and Extravagance are just the 2 most obvious ones.
2) Ugh, the iconic cards are kicking my rear end on this one. I don't want to skip out on 2 in a row. I guess, maybe, make it so that the cards you discard are random and that they get banished face-down instead?
1) Oooo, should have released this list sooner.... This guy just had an errata announced that should allow him to get of the ban-list. And Yes, they did change this in the same way they did the Temple.
XD And you got my pausing to type thing once more.... good thing I waited till the video was over before I submitted.

You're the first person in ages I've actually heard even suggesting changing the effects of banned cards; even when I was a kid I thought it made so much more sense to troubleshoot banned cards and just reprint them with reworked effects, it seems like such a waste to only use in agreed casual games. I started back in 2002 when the first EN prints came out and have been on and off since; returning again to MD and discovering Morphing Jar wasn't banned or changed was a great day for me, it's in most of my MD decks.
An errata does happen sometimes. It's not always possible without using the spirit of the first card and always causes confusion (as you can use an older card with a text different form the rela effect).
