@@huncho1147 Yeah, me too. It & some other plant archetype was a major pain in the arse for me too, partly the reason why I quit duel links years ago but got back into it a while after that.
Actually with foxy, you’re allowed to choose not to destroy a spell/trap, so if you sanctuary you can still special summon foxy out of the GY and not destroy sanctuary. Very helpful
Top 10 non-union archetypes that put their monsters in the back row (not counting pendulum scales). Artifacts, Crystal Beasts, V-HEROs, Icejade, and Felgrand. Bonus points for "union but better" type effects like Dragunity, Magistus, Superheavy Samurai, Cyberdark, Destruction Sword, Inzektors, Infernoble Knights, Marincess, the Claw of Hermos fusions, Therion, Plunder Patroll, Vylon, and ZW's
Two that could gain a mention are Berserker Soul and Slash Draw, two cards that are often thought of as memes, but are actually viable! Berserker Soul can be used with something like Wattgiraffe to get a total of 6200 damage off with a monster-heavy deck, nearly enough to insta-win, while the opponent can't do anything but watch since they'll be locked out of effects for the turn! Slash Draw on the other hand is great because you can just run one copy and rather than go for it's good effect, you go for it's bad one on purpose, letting you recycle cards while activating a ton of graveyard effects, since you have to return an equal number of cards to the deck, not the same cards, so you can recycle spells and traps better than most other methods! For example, if opponent has 3 cards, you get to send 3 cards from your deck to your graveyard, while also being able to return 3 cards you don't want in the graveyard back to the deck (eg: used spells/traps without graveyard effects). Easy to interrupt, sure, but if the effect gets off, it's almost always pure advantage!
While kinda bricky playing these cards Diamond Dude could also excavate Ojama Delta Hurricane to completely board wipe your opponent. Used to play with budget commons with friends and Diamond Dude was always hype
Us OCG still use the term "めくる/넘긴다"(basically OG excavate keyword used before in TCG). I know the change is not recent, but it is always refreshing to see terms used differently in TCG.
I can't believe you forgot the original Big Eye, the flip effect monster that let you excavate five cards and then rearrange them in any order you wanted. It was a VERY useful card in the first few years I played the game and only became completely obsolete around the time xyz monsters rolled around.
I mean, I mostly play Absolute King Back Jack to fix my draws in low powered formats anyway so I'd probably play Big Eye in those formats since I rarely get off the effect to set cards since the deck I play uses very few normal traps.
0:50 It's showing morphing jar number 1 rather then 2. I noticed in general your videos have been getting one to three editing errors in them now. Where either your commentary does not match the on screen text or there is an inconsistency between what is stated and what is shown in the images.
I think he outsources the video editing to people that don't actually play the game, since you see occasional errors like these that should be obvious to someone that actually plays.
@@PerfectChaos7 nah I play the game, the mistake in this case was that the image was handed over with the name of morphin jar 2 (while being morphing jar) and I only glanced over this one when adding it in and missed it, nothing more nothing less
For a lot of my Ritual decks, I use Monster Gate and Reasoning (they essentially do the same thing), as the Ritual monsters do not count as monsters that can be special summoned by said effect, so they go directly to the gy. It helps wonders for decks like Megaliths that need Rituals in the graveyard 😁 At worst, you get a free special summon (usually a Diviner)
I think this is more useful in decks that can make actual use of the Ritual monsters in grave, such as Dogmatika or Nekroz, who have Ritual spells to summon Ritual monsters from the graveyard). From my experience playing Megaliths, they usually get enough Ritual monsters into the graveyard during standard combos to destroy three to four cards with Bethor, which is probably enough to counter your opponent (and if they can play through _that,_ I doubt more Rituals in grave would have made the difference).
@@xCorvus7x I play both Dogmatikas and Nekroz, and unfortunately, if you are playing the Ritual variant, those cards don't really help Dogmatika. The only card that triggers upon special summon is Ecclesia, and Dogmatika has several ways of cheating her out (Dogmatikamatrix, Titanklad, Despian Luluwalith). None of the Dogmatika Rituals have gy effects, and you're most likely to special summon one of the level 8s rather than fill the gy. Keep in mind, I only run these two cards in Ritual and spell heavy decks -- like Megaliths, Mikankos, Shinobirds -- as they're either spell heavy or Ritual monster heavy or both In the modern meta, Megaliths struggle sending their Ritual monsters to the gy after one or two negates, especially if you use them as tributes early on. These cards just help in early game for Megalith Phaleg and Bethgor. Btw, I play Megaliths with Cyber Angels 😅 so the deck has a lot of Ritual monsters
I play Megaliths a bit differently. Since I use Cyber Angels, my goal is to "normal" summon Vanity's Ruler with Angel 01 by looping Benten's effect with the Megalith cards. I use Bethgor to clear the field (during my opponents' turn, and Phaleg to OTK). I also special summon Vrash during their turn with Och. The two cards in this video aren't necessary, as you won't draw into them, but they *do* help fill the graveyard *and* since the only monster I really play that can be normal summoned is Diviner of the Heralds, that special summon helps with searching for more Rituals. Her being tributed also allows me to cheat a fairy from the deck, as well
@@christopherfeatherley True, if Megalith is interrupted enough, the setup can very well be insufficient to blow up your opponent's field. My experience with the deck comes basically only from N/R or Legend Anthology events on Master Duel. Playing Cyber Angels is an interesting idea and, as it gives you access to Vanity's Ruler, probably more viable competitively than the variant I'm familiar with, which plays Impcantations as Ritual support and does little else than setting up Bethor (I've tried to set up other Rituals, such as Shinobird Baron and Baroness, but those were a bit clunky to use and couldn't be set up consistently, it seemed).
Diamond Dudes effect hitting Destiny Draw is actually better than Pot of Greed, as it means you don’t have to draw it for turn, making it a plus two in advantage instead of Pots plus one. This goes for all spells that it hits, any spell hit is a plus one in card advantage the next turn
Marciness Blue Tang: it's a Foolish on summon, a 1-card link climbing combo, AND when it's used as link material, you can excavate 3 to add a revealed Marincess card...which you can use to chain block to make sure Blue Slug (add the Seahorse you dumped back into your hand to summon her) and Sea Angel's (add a spell) effects go off without a hitch.
I feel like Marincess Blue Tang or Sky Striker Area Zero could have been in that 9 spot instead of Foxy. They're all pretty close in terms of their purpose and importance in their respective decks.
Foxy’s effect to excavate is pretty dope tho. But I guess you kinda have a point considering we use the second effect more than its excavating effect. But I think the second effect of Foxy is why DuelLogs placed it on the 9th spot. An excavate effect card that can also Special Summon itself while also popping a face-up Spell/Trap on the field. I’m probably just being biased tho but I hope not xD
Yeah, Foxy got the nod because Salad is a historically higher impact deck than Marincess, and close to Sky Striker. But Area Zero isn't nearly as important to striker as Foxy is to Salad. It was a close call between the 3. Salad being playable even in recent formats is a big reason why it got the nod (Striker technically was too but let's not kid ourselves, it was all Mystic Mine).
@@TwoToneShoes Ah yes, as if Striker couldn’t even get any worse by playing Mystic Mine. But I know that now Mystic Mine is banned, there are some who are still topping with Strikers. Unless I heard wrong...
Idea for a new Excavation “Jar” monster: _Excavation Jar_ (EARTH) Level 1 Rock/Tuner/Flip/Effect _FLIP: Pay increments of 500 LP, then excavate cards from the top or bottom of your deck equal to the number of increments payed. Special summon facedown any number of “Pot” or “Jar” monsters excavated by this card’s effects, and set any number of “Pot” or “Jar” spell/traps excavated, otherwise shuffle all other excavated cards into your deck._ _This card gains 500 ATK/DEF for every card that is excavated by card effects. Once per turn (Quick Effect), you can normal set or special summon this card facedown from your hand or GY if either player would excavate any number of cards by card effect._ ATK/0 DEF/0
Excavate the whole opponent's deck, if "Maxx "C"" or "Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring" is among the excavated cards: Bitchslap your opponent and you win the duel.
That is such a creative idea! Bravo! 😁 my only qualm is to put a limit (maybe max 2000 lp?) As I'm sure there's probably a consistent way to abuse it, in maybe a tag duel or life point gain deck
@@christopherfeatherley Yeah, yeah that makes sense. With the self-summoning conditions and ATK/DEF gain, any excavation focused deck could just run this card as an easy to summon beatstick for one.
I know the title mentions "Excavation", but with a thumbnail that reads "Cards that can look at the top cards of your deck", I am deeply saddened that Convulsion of nature didn't make the list. It arguably only has 2 decks it can be realistically be played in (In SPYral and Flower Cardian), but its effect is continuous, so no matter what either player does you permanently have access to the top card of both decks, which is very unique for a card. Great list however. Love to see explanations like these.
idea: '10 bad support/seachers that would be broken if they had better targets', most equip spell support comes to mind, some normal monsters support. wouldn't be on the list but think wind effigy, only 2 targets so if only there were other cards it could pick from
E - emergency call can't be used to search Diamond dude as it is not an elemental HERO monster, it was used to search Stratos before it got banned which in turn could search Diamond dude.
Not sure if you caught this, but when talking about excavation with morphing jar, the picture shown shouldve been morphing jar #2. That card actually excavates while the original only makes you draw 5 cards.
I think he outsources the video editing to people that don't actually play the game, since you see occasional errors like these that should be obvious to someone that actually plays.
I'm biased, but I think Marincess Blue Tang deserved a spot. She's a Foolish of another Marincess monster on normal or special summon, she excavates three cards when she gets used for a Marincess Link monster, let's you add a revealed Marincess card to your hand, and she can chain block Sea Angel so she doesn't get Ash'd. Blue Tang can be full Marincess combo by herself or an amazing extender in Marincess, and is arguably the most important main deck monster in the archetype.
I don’t see how Morphing Jar is a card that excavates. I believe it has always said both players discard their hand and draw 5 cards. I could see Cyber Jar being a card that excavates though. Either way, cool video!!
E Call searching Diamond Dude is the fastest judge call I've ever seen. Yes, it can get to Stratos which gets to Diamond Dude, but those are not the same thing.
I wasn't clear on it but it searches Stratos who itself searches Diamond Dude. Just didn't go through the details on it -- e call is there to get to diamond dude is all I was trying to convey lol.
I feel like there's some hate Towards the Salamangreats "...and adding a salad card to the hand is a solid effect" "Foxy makes it hard to beat Salads in a resource war"
I think the best part of Reasoning that it doesn't have a once per turn clause. Oh, you threw Ash Blossom on my Reasoning? Lmao I just activate another one. (Except it's Limited in the TCG and sees absolutely no play, so I don't understand why.)
chaos ruler is so fucking good because the check top 5, pick one or none then dump the rest to GY and also reborn itself are already good then if you see the stats then chaos ruler can be almost perfect because it is on lv8 where there's a lot of lv 8 xyz monster and not to mention the lv 8 allows it to become a synchro fodder for a higher lv synchro monster easily then just revive the card back with its effect it's also light and dark support which works wonder with bystial supports like branded regained, the moment it leaves the field for the 2nd time and banished, regained just kicks in + shuffle that card back into the deck and gives you a draw 1 which is super good not to mention its 3000/2500 stat is a great stat since it's basically blue eyes and can either become a wall or just a very big beatstick
You cant search diamond dude with E-emergency call(although i guess you could get stratos into diamond dude) although i think stratos was released a year later
Stratos was released in 2007 when DDT was still one of the top decks and remained so for awhile. And yeah the idea is e call for stratos for dude but I kind of glossed over it. The point remains that the card is there to get to diamond dude more consistently but I definitely goofed by not clarifying.
Duality doesn't draw, so it isn't affected by the "can't draw cards for the rest of the turn" restrictions of Prosperity or Extravagance and you can use one of those and then Duality in the same turn. You can't use Prosperity and Extravagance in the same turn though because you can't use Prosperity the same turn you draw with Extrav.
@@ajanramcaj4805 I was misremembering and thought Prosperity had the same "at the start of main phase 1" requirement as Extravagance did, but it doesn't. In that case, I'm pretty sure you can activate both Duality and Prosperity in the same turn no matter which order.

Idea for an Excavation Quick-Play spell card: _Excavation Empowerment_ Quick-Play Spell _You can only activate this card during duels where your starting deck contains at least 10 Monster, Spell and Trap cards each. You can pay half your LP to activate this card that is in your GY, during either players turn, but it is banished facedown after it’s effects resolve. Shuffle your deck, then shuffle any number of cards from your hand and/or field into your deck (Min. 1 Each), then declare a card type (Monster/Trap/Spell): Excavate cards from the top of your deck up to the number of cards that were shuffled by this effect; Activate 1 of the following effects, then shuffle the excavated cards back into your deck and draw 1 card:_ ⚪️Increase your LP by 1000 for every card of the declared type that was excavated. ⚪️Increase or decrease the ATK and/or DEF of any monsters on the field by 500 for every card of the declared type that was excavated. ⚪️Shuffle cards you own that are banished or from either players hand, field or GY back into your main or extra deck, up to an equal number of cards of the declared type that was excavated. ⚪️Banish or send to the GY 1 card from the top of your deck for every card of the declared type that was excavated.
Idk, I kinda think reasoning should've been swapped with pot of duality. Like, reasoning doesn't have restrictions, whereas duality locks you out of special summons. Sure, reasoning might miss sometimes if your opponent calls the right level, but even hitting at 80% success rates I would think reasoning would be considered better. Plus, isn't reasoning banned? Don't you usually put the banned cards towards the end? Or is reasoning not banned and I'm remembering poorly?
I believe it's Limited in the TCG right now, so almost nothing besides Witchcrafter and Infernoids is taking advantage of it. What makes it neat in Witchcrafter is that they really don't care if the opponent guesses correctly since their monsters all have graveyard effects. Once the other Striker Link-2 comes out and any 2 monsters they use can make it, they won't care if they hit an Ash, Ghost Belle or Droll & Lock Bird with it so it'll probably start seeing use there too to aggressively dump more spells in grave, and have that Link as a backup plan for an additional card dump if they summon something too quickly. Paleo focused builds of Labrynth could also make good use of this card, especially once their level 6 comes out to make going into Chaos Angel easier(right now their best options for that are Driver, Bystials and Gamma/Epsilon, which makes getting to a Light+ Dark combination tricky).
LMFAO the segue from number 2 to number 1 "only something truly degenerate could beat out this completely broken excavation card, speaking of which, at the number one slot, fuck this entire archetype"
No Magical Merchant? A monster mash GY deck would use him to mill until you hit the 1 spell in your deck to stop. Huge gas for Shadoll, lightsworn, Sylvan, etc.
For real torture, you can do a list for the top 10 best effects and give an example of it like "Number 1, best effect us summoning from the main deck e.g. Summon Magician"
@jennacalifornia8889 i play SHS as the deck was intended too. and for the deck gigagloces sets up 5 cards and allowes 1 draw. which is better than just stacking and forgetting it

You forgot to mention that all Adamancipator cards also share an effect of making your opponent falls asleep.

I don’t see how Morphing Jar is a card that excavates. I believe it has always said both players discard their hand and draw 5 cards. I could see Cyber Jar being a card that excavates though. Either way, cool video!!
Pot of prosperity is pot of riches and pot of generosity combine (artwork wise)
Now i wabt that hour lonh video you mentioned
Please bring back chaos ruler while keep eply and agarpain on the banlist I miss him 😢
E Call searching Diamond Dude is the fastest judge call I've ever seen. Yes, it can get to Stratos which gets to Diamond Dude, but those are not the same thing.
Isn’t prosperity art a mix of pot of riches/benevolence?
It makes sense that a rock archetype is the best at excavation
what about area zero instead of salamangreat foxy?
Quick fix: e emergency call doesn't search diamond dude since its elemental hero specific and diamond dude is a destiny hero
I wasn't clear on it but it searches Stratos who itself searches Diamond Dude. Just didn't go through the details on it -- e call is there to get to diamond dude is all I was trying to convey lol.
@@TwoToneShoes okay just wanted to clarify for people who may not know heroes as small as that group may be
I feel like there's some hate Towards the Salamangreats "...and adding a salad card to the hand is a solid effect" "Foxy makes it hard to beat Salads in a resource war"
Dark Magical Circle would probably make top 20 as it is one of the main pieces in any Dark Magician deck.
I like it that the entire archtype is literally the Top 1 and of course Chaos Ruler takes Top 2.
I think the best part of Reasoning that it doesn't have a once per turn clause.
Oh, you threw Ash Blossom on my Reasoning? Lmao I just activate another one. (Except it's Limited in the TCG and sees absolutely no play, so I don't understand why.)
chaos ruler is so fucking good because the check top 5, pick one or none then dump the rest to GY and also reborn itself are already good
then if you see the stats then chaos ruler can be almost perfect because it is on lv8 where there's a lot of lv 8 xyz monster and not to mention the lv 8 allows it to become a synchro fodder for a higher lv synchro monster easily then just revive the card back with its effect
it's also light and dark support which works wonder with bystial supports like branded regained, the moment it leaves the field for the 2nd time and banished, regained just kicks in + shuffle that card back into the deck and gives you a draw 1 which is super good
not to mention its 3000/2500 stat is a great stat since it's basically blue eyes and can either become a wall or just a very big beatstick
Man I miss Chaos Ruler
I wish to play it again on my Cubic mix
Fair that only the entirety of Adam's could challenge ma boi chaos ruler. May we live forever in the light of md where chaos is still safe.
I have an idea for a video, how about Top 10 Card that allow your opponent draw card
1:37 That's my Dude
You cant search diamond dude with E-emergency call(although i guess you could get stratos into diamond dude) although i think stratos was released a year later
Stratos was released in 2007 when DDT was still one of the top decks and remained so for awhile. And yeah the idea is e call for stratos for dude but I kind of glossed over it. The point remains that the card is there to get to diamond dude more consistently but I definitely goofed by not clarifying.
I'd be interested in a top 10 quickest rebans
I'm not sure that there are actually enough cards to even do that
but it'd be interesting if there is
Video idea:
Top 10 cards that are better in casual play than in a competitive tournament.
simple question, can you activate pot of duality and prosperity at the same turn? if not, why?
yeah
Duality doesn't draw, so it isn't affected by the "can't draw cards for the rest of the turn" restrictions of Prosperity or Extravagance and you can use one of those and then Duality in the same turn. You can't use Prosperity and Extravagance in the same turn though because you can't use Prosperity the same turn you draw with Extrav.
@@calamelli209 thank you. I know the restrictions but i was wondering can you use duality then prosperity? Or only the other way around?
@@ajanramcaj4805 I was misremembering and thought Prosperity had the same "at the start of main phase 1" requirement as Extravagance did, but it doesn't. In that case, I'm pretty sure you can activate both Duality and Prosperity in the same turn no matter which order.
no kuribandit? that cute lil guy deserves #1 💪💪
I'm old enough to remember when excavating was called "pick up (not draw)"
Suggestion : top 10 delicious card
Best target for diamond dude- LEGACY of a hero
Good and cool video When there ever gonna be top 10 best things like
Top 10 best dragon monsters
Top 10 best dinosaur monsters
Top 10 best cyberse monsters
Top 10 best flip monsters
Top 10 best link monsters (not link rating like link 4 3 2 1 monsters)
Top carda that can attack every monster your opponent controls , and plz put susanow in it
Idea for an Excavation Quick-Play spell card:
_Excavation Empowerment_
Quick-Play Spell
_You can only activate this card during duels where your starting deck contains at least 10 Monster, Spell and Trap cards each. You can pay half your LP to activate this card that is in your GY, during either players turn, but it is banished facedown after it’s effects resolve. Shuffle your deck, then shuffle any number of cards from your hand and/or field into your deck (Min. 1 Each), then declare a card type (Monster/Trap/Spell): Excavate cards from the top of your deck up to the number of cards that were shuffled by this effect; Activate 1 of the following effects, then shuffle the excavated cards back into your deck and draw 1 card:_
⚪️Increase your LP by 1000 for every card of the declared type that was excavated.
⚪️Increase or decrease the ATK and/or DEF of any monsters on the field by 500 for every card of the declared type that was excavated.
⚪️Shuffle cards you own that are banished or from either players hand, field or GY back into your main or extra deck, up to an equal number of cards of the declared type that was excavated.
⚪️Banish or send to the GY 1 card from the top of your deck for every card of the declared type that was excavated.
Idk, I kinda think reasoning should've been swapped with pot of duality.
Like, reasoning doesn't have restrictions, whereas duality locks you out of special summons. Sure, reasoning might miss sometimes if your opponent calls the right level, but even hitting at 80% success rates I would think reasoning would be considered better.
Plus, isn't reasoning banned? Don't you usually put the banned cards towards the end? Or is reasoning not banned and I'm remembering poorly?
I believe it's Limited in the TCG right now, so almost nothing besides Witchcrafter and Infernoids is taking advantage of it. What makes it neat in Witchcrafter is that they really don't care if the opponent guesses correctly since their monsters all have graveyard effects.
Once the other Striker Link-2 comes out and any 2 monsters they use can make it, they won't care if they hit an Ash, Ghost Belle or Droll & Lock Bird with it so it'll probably start seeing use there too to aggressively dump more spells in grave, and have that Link as a backup plan for an additional card dump if they summon something too quickly.
Paleo focused builds of Labrynth could also make good use of this card, especially once their level 6 comes out to make going into Chaos Angel easier(right now their best options for that are Driver, Bystials and Gamma/Epsilon, which makes getting to a Light+ Dark combination tricky).
Reasoning is Limited in the TCG.
I actually didnt know the adamancipator "pun" with excavation 😂
Can trishula destroy skill drain?
as a fairly dedicated self mill player ive used around half of these....in one deck
Adamanciptors my favorite deck
Superheavy Samurai Gigagloves isn't a bad excavating card with its ATK set to 0 plus draw gy effect. But not good enough for top 10.
Please do Top 10 Red Eyes cards.
Now do top 10 Spinners, which returns cards to the deck.
LMFAO the segue from number 2 to number 1 "only something truly degenerate could beat out this completely broken excavation card, speaking of which, at the number one slot, fuck this entire archetype"
Not even mentioning reasoning gate when talking about monstergate
No Magical Merchant?
A monster mash GY deck would use him to mill until you hit the 1 spell in your deck to stop.
Huge gas for Shadoll, lightsworn, Sylvan, etc.
Top 10 cards better in real life than in the anime/manga
How THE HELL are adams better than Pot of E and Chaos ruler???
morphing jar doesnt excavate?? do you maybe mean number 2??
That’s what he said
@@IndexInvestingWithColeoh did he - mb i didnt have volume on and saw the original morphing jar on screen 😅
@@btb9139 if you squeeze hard enough you'll be able to tell there's actually a #2 in the name, trust 🤣
For real torture, you can do a list for the top 10 best effects and give an example of it like "Number 1, best effect us summoning from the main deck e.g. Summon Magician"
I miss the DD TURBO DECK.
Where is Gunkan suship ikura?
Summon card trooper, machine dupe, dump 9 cards, activate dark hole, bust load on opps face.
Adamancipator, that's their job
Personally I think Adamancipators should be put to 3rd place, with Prosp in 2, and ChaosRuler in 1.
RIP Marincess Blue Tang
number 11 is SHS gigagloves you cant convince me other wise
That card is ass
Are you trolling?
@jennacalifornia8889 i play SHS as the deck was intended too. and for the deck gigagloces sets up 5 cards and allowes 1 draw. which is better than just stacking and forgetting it
2:14 wait, E-Emergency Call can't search Diamond Dude he's a D Hero not an E Hero 😅
It searches stratos who searches Diamond Dude :]
Chaos Ruler really is insanely busted.
Have there ever been cards that got MORE powerful after erratas?
Pretty sure one of Necrovalley's numerous erratas made it easier for it to affect more things and make it harder to interact with the GY.
Duellogs forgot E - Emergency Call only works with Elemental HEROs, not Destiny HEROs.
It searches Stratos who searches diamond dude, my bad for not mentioning the entire string but I was just listing the spells that put the turbo in Diamond Dude turbo.
@@TwoToneShoes Did you reply to me with the wrong account?
@@Shugunou Nope. I wrote this episode.
@@TwoToneShoesYou're Cursed-Eyes?
@@Shugunou ...No, looks like Mr. Logs put the wrong writer in the credits lol. I wrote this one but sometimes the writer credits get mixed up depending on upload release schedule. It'll probably be fixed by tomorrow.
14:33 You can't Reasoning into Enishi.
What the hell is even excavate, fortune fairies dont activate when excavated and drawing restrictions like the one in pot of extravagance dont allow to use it...
Nice
Please bring back Chaos Ruler!
Hopefully and take out adamancipator / rock support
Megatron?
I just learned that the adamancipator crystals were a thing ^^
wow those are terrible.
