Hey @Desolator Magic I learned something this morning, the MtG Arena sub Reddit community is comprised of loudmouthed crying little panty waists with a severe case of btchassness lol.
@@DesolatorMagic I should have given the specifics lol, basically a new player to Arena was asking for help/advice on getting started. Said he previously made a Netdeck when he started and his experience didn't end well. My advice was to never Netdeck and explained the reasoning why, finish color challenges for free decks/cards, don't blow wildcards until he does his homework and either learns deck building then creates his own deck tailored for his playstyle and enjoyment OR finds a solid little deck that performs and can efficiently grind cards and gems with and isn't a "Meta" netdeck. Should have foreseen the HoopleHeads coming out the GD walls and descending upon me with their righteous meta fury ready to beat me about the face and neck and possibly the groin area.....it was glorious. I stand by my beliefs.....I abhor Netdecks and all they stand for.
@@DesolatorMagic I agree, Yu-Gi-Oh filled with very whiny Lil bitches who know only how to complain, moan and groan. Least MTG players are legit overall...
@@fanusobscurus 130 for cyberse clock dragon. which I'm pretty sure it's the longest for a non pendulum card. and Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic has the most text overall (when you add the pendulum text and monster effect)
At least Yugioh cards have all their text reliably on ONE side of the card, hard as it is to read or parse. MtG has gotten so off the rails some of the text is now appearing in FIVE other card faces for online releases.
Yugioh has everything and everyone. You get all sorts of archetypes ranging from spellcasters, dragons, ninjas, samurai, construction vehicles, penguins, sushi warships, literal cards, dragons taking human maid forms and so much more. But one of the most powerful cards in the game is a cute zombie girl and a bunch of cockroaches
@@dylandang7365 And then a powerful wizard that stalled you until you are out of card. You know who did I was talking about. right? The most anti combo card ever existed.
in our defence alot of archetypes are cute zombie girls and maxx c was the first card to singlehandedly generate so much power, konami learnt from their mistake? anyways onto another related toppic: the card is so powerful it's probably singlehandedly slowing down the OCG format to control
I mean, there literally is a shadow realm that they go to in the Japanese version. Whenever they announce a shadow game, they enter a different realm. That realm just doesn't have a name in the original. The dub just makes the show more thematically consistent by naming it and referencing it outside of shadow games
"you win the match" is different to "you win the duel", in Yugioh a Match like in MTG is best 2 out of 3, so if a card says "If this card reduces your opponents lifepoints to 0, you win the match" it means "if you do lethal damage with this card, you automatically win the 2/3 do not play another round"
@@morreamanha yep, it's why all the match winners say "can't be used in a duel", except for victory dragon, and that card is banned for that exact reason. Also: Fun Fact: In the OCG you cannot concede on your opponents turn, only in the TCG, so in the OCG you cannot concede while it is attacking
@@Pine_Hill_Prophit the cards still cracked you just cant cheese it out anymore so its useless until they print dark magician fusion with no summoning restriction 💀
As a Yu-Gi-Oh! player, the "1996 Kazuki Takahashi" and the "TV Tokyo, Konami" text are copyright text. The original copyright of Yu-Gi-Oh was made in 1996 with the original manga by Kazuki Takahashi, and was later renewed by Studio Dice, TV Tokyo, and Konami in 2020. I also just love these reaction videos. Just seeing your reaction to Nirvana High Paladin, one of the cards with the most card text in the game, and then immediately seeing DOOM DONUTS made me howl with laughter. I'll talk about each card in a bit of detail here. *Shiba-Warrior Taro* was a card illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of the manga, based on Takahashi's actual Shiba Inu, Taro. *The Calculator* was used in some One Turn Kill strategies, but it's very niche. *Lorelei, the Symphonic Arsenal* is a "Match Winner" promotional card, given to winners of the 2008 Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship. It's illegal for tournament play because if Lorelei would reduce an opponent's Life Points to 0 in Game 1 of a best-of-3, a player would just win the best-of-3... which could lead to people surrendering right before the attack goes through, and judges being called. *Toadally Awesome* is either loved or hated by the community. It is very obnoxious in its effects, especially that the Deck it's made for can make it every turn (and it can recycle itself if it gets sent to the Graveyard). *Number 99: Utopia Dragonar* is meant to be support for the "Utopia" set of cards, which is mostly about the card "Number 39: Utopia", which is a "Number" monster that can be made easily by 2 Level 4 monsters. *Last Warrior from Another Planet* is usually cheated out at the end of a combo, with its effects negated for the turn so that it doesn't destroy the player's own monsters. Even then, it's kind of niche at the moment, but if it happens, the opponent's basically just hoping to draw into a kill card. *Floodgate Trap Hole* is a really good card in the mobile Yu-Gi-Oh! spinoff, "Duel Links", but has not seen much competitive play in the card game recently. *Mind Haxorz* is just a joke card, honestly. Spending a card just for knowledge is too steep of a cost for competitive decks. *Ojama King*, the fusion of *Black*, *Green*, and *Yellow*, locks down 3 of your opponent's 5 Main Monster Zones, meaning they can only summon 2 monsters in their Main Monster Zones. *Bottomless Trap Hole* has been a competitive staple for the early years of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but died out of play eventually, since Trap Cards have to be Set for your turn before you can use them, which are now seen as too slow. ...Most of the time. *Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon* is a very controversial card in the current metagame, and some people are asking for it to be banned because it can be easily Summoned by another monster's effect, just by sending a Spell (Red-Eyes Fusion, specifically), "Dark Magician", and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from your Deck to your Graveyard. *Nirvana High Paladin* has seen no use in the competitive metagame, and most people who play Yu-Gi-Oh! still don't know what it does; they only know it has some of the longest card text in the game. *Koalo-Koala* was probably used as a target for "Magical Scientist" back when that First Turn Kill wasn't banned. Nowadays, it's not used at all. *Flipping the Table* is actually a weird anime-exclusive card that's been in a few Yu-Gi-Oh! video games. *Doom Donuts* has a Flip Effect, which means you have to Set it face-down before it's flipped face-up to activate the effect. That effect then triggers when it's flipped, no matter when it happens; even if it's being attacked and you have to reveal it by flipping it up, it just destroys everything that has a 0 in its stats. *Pot of Greed* is banned, probably because everyone in the anime had to keep explaining it every time it was used because it was so complicated. *Supreme King Z-ARC* looks completely different card-wise between the card game and anime. Plus, it's actually worse than one of its "Supreme King Dragon" servants, because "Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom" is banned for a First Turn Kill. Also, *Hungry Burger* and *World Carrotweight Champion* are real cards. You even have to Summon Hungry Burger with a card named *Hamburger Recipe*. Hungry Burger is one of the biggest joke cards of the game.
These "card player reviews cards from other games" vids are the best shit. And, yeah, Konami of America is stupid about names sometimes. And Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't do set symbols(or credit artists), 1st Edition means its the first printing of it.
Same here. I grew up playing yugioh with anime rules from the first show, and then tried to learn modern yugioh only to see pendulums in the deck I got, and I just decided to stop. Then I came back again and saw links and decided to stop. Then masterduel came out and I finally learned it.
as a casual mtg player who sometimes plays yu-gi-oh, Yu-Gi-Oh as a card game is like the love child of every broken mtg combo deck that ever has existed. I've played entire matches and had absolutely no clue what my opponent was doing the entire time, because there was an entire book written on each of their cards and I don't have time to read a novel when I'm playing a card game.
@@TabooX1984 if u r not prepared to win or prevent ur opponent from winning by the time both players have taken 1 turn, good fucking luck ever winning a duel against any meta or rogue deck and about 80% of all other decks. There’s almost no deck incapable of dealing lethal in 1 turn. U usually play either a deck that specializes in otking or a deck that focuses on saying “NO!” To everything ur opponent does in hopes u can drag the duel out long enuf for ur turtle slow deck to win. And then theres combo decks that do it all. I’ve seen numerous combo decks pump out 5++ negates on turn without even blinking an eye. I’ve seen combo decks pump out infinite negates turn 1.
I played a lot of yugioh before Magic and dear God I both absolutely love and fucking deteste EVERYTHING I just watched..... Couldn't have asked for a better video
Cannot wait for des's tries to learn yugioh rules and realizes just how much more f'ed up rosewater can make mtg if he ever gets a yugioh rule book dropped in his lap.
Remember the stack bs with Yu-Gi-Oh?? Your trap can't stop my quick play, and then I counter with another quick play then they counter with continuous trap that negates all traps ....!? Hate that!!!
God help us all... The first thing that would happen is the concept of rotation would get flung into orbit. The color pie would die... And then all counter spells would be banned.
As a yugioh player this was amazing I would love to see more of this if you wanted to do it again. And I can vouch all are real other then "flip the table" and the first "Zarc" you showed/saw.
The “thing/effect” is akin to “creature - thing” and tells it it has an effect, which the text then tells us. Normal monsters don’t have effects, and cards can ask for normal/effect/etc so that distinction does matter. Pendulum, Xyz, fusion, synchro, link, and ritual are also different types of cards which all have different requirements to bring out. The stars are closer to mana cost than wishes, but 4 or less, 5&6, and 7&8 are the thresholds for normal summoning, where 4 or less take nothing to summon, 5&6 needs one monster to be sacrificed for it, and more than that take two monsters. Effects can say I’m wrong, as lorelei shows. Edit: thought after the fact that I could describe pendulum monsters (mr. novel in many boxes) as “enchantment creature”. Also, normal/tribute summons are akin to “land for turn”.
Hey, Utopia Dragonar only lets you use each of its effects once per turn, so it can only reduce one of your opponents attacking monsters atk to 0 oer turn, plus despite having high stats and being easy to cheat out with its related cards, it's easy to kill because any removal spell or effect can pop it, and every single Yugioh deck has tons of them. Hope this helps explain why it's not broken or even played at all, and the 3+ Level 12 monsters are what you put under it as a cost to summon it from your extra deck (face down command zone).
To be fair, MtG was the inspiration for the card game in the manga, which later was adapted into the Yu-Gi-Oh! we know, via Konami. That said, calling it a 'clone', is pretty idiotic.
@@SakuraAvalon Yep. Just to name a few differences... You can have infinite permanents in MTG. You can have only up to 5 (6 if you count the Extra Monster Zone, and either 7 or 8 if you count the Pendulum Zones) monsters in play, and up to 5 Spell/Traps (MTG: noncreature nonland permanents) this, I believe, is what caused the confusion regarding Ojama King's effect. In MTG, you attack once, but with all of your chosen attacking creatures at a time. In YGO, each monster attacks individually. In MTG, attacks are declared to the opponent (YGO: directly) and the opponent chooses whether or not to block. In YGO, attacks are declared to an opponent's monster (MTG: directly). In MTG, any extra damage done to blocking creatures is wasted unless if the blocked creature has trample. In YGO, excess damage is dealt to the opponent if the attacked monster is in Attack Position and its ATK is lower. It's complicated if you don't get it, but eh. In MTG, creatures have Summoning Sickness, which disallows them to attack or use their own tap abilities when put into play (which to this day still makes me wonder why this isn't just called summon. I mean, it IS called Summoning Sickness...) unless they have haste. In YGO, only a select type of monster card (not monster Type, that's something entirely different. Yep, it's complicated) and a select few monsters outside this category have this. Most other monsters can attack and do whatever they can in the same turn. And that's why YGO doesn't have a Battle Phase (MTG: combat phase) on turn 1. Oh, and of course... YGO has no Mana costs. Costs in YGO are done by paying Life Points, discarding and/or banishing (MTG: exiling) cards, Tributing (MTG: sacrificing) monsters, and otherwise sending your cards from one place to another. It also has a lot of mechanics that can be as confusing as Banding, if not moreso. Pendulum Monsters are a fantastic example of this.
@@DenTehMan I think a TH-camr once said something in the lines of: "MTG is like playing Chess, Pokemon TCG is like playing Checkers, YuGiOh is like playing Modern Warfare 2."
Lorelei's effect basically makes you win best of three when you deal lethal damage on first game. (I'm not sure you can concede before the attack to just move to the second game, but some people say you can). It is not a legal card (I think, not sure). The legal but banned card with similar effect is Victory Dragon. Dragoon is just planeswalker.
You are allowed to concede a duel at any point so if your opponent declares an attack with any "match winner" you can surrender and just go to game 2 at that point.
I haven't played in a bout a decade but I remember they asked the mark rosewater of yugioh if they would ever make an "un"-set. His response was essentially: "are you freakin kidding me look at nekogal 1 every set is an unset"
And Fusion monsters need you to use a card or effect to fuse the monsters it lists by sending them from your hand or field to the grave to summon it, that's why it Last Warrior lists those two. And it's not played because despite it's oppressive effect, it has no protection. So it dies to every doom blade
I loved this section. As a former Yugioh player, I approve this kind of content, haha. And yes, those are real yugioh cards. As for the names and drawings in them, they don't necessarily have to be about Egiptian stuff. Supposedly it started from there, but the cards "evolved" along with human civilizations from all around the world and fantasy places.
Given that ZEXAL reveals the universe's very genesis from a card (while a metaphysical construct, yes, seriously), the Egypt stuff was merely one prominent deviation.
For ojama king question. You can only have 5 creatures on field (idk if it still a rule but back when Ojama King was made it was). So basically OK stops you from using 3 of them.
@@BlackKaiserDrake 7 actually. Hard to pull it off, but you can use both Extra Monster Zones, if you form a Co-Link from one Extra Monster Zone to the other, before your Opponent puts anything into that EMZ.
2:56 if I'm not mistaken, a match consist of 3 duels, in order to win a match you have to win 2 times, so which means, this card allow you to win a match by just winning one time... and that is why they made it not legal which is what "this card cannot be use in a duel" means.... it's basically just a collector's item.
You are actually ALMOST correct. The Match Winners aren't not legal because they are Match Winners. They're not legal because the opponent can concede at any time, leaving the Match Winner effect null.
"flipping the table" is a thing in the anime and it's from the "dizzy" archetype that focuses entirely on hot sauce and alcoholism(it's an archetype that only shows up in the anime) it was used by Chumleys dad who ran a hot sauce factory/brewery in the 2nd series(yugioh GX which also happens to be the series the Ojamas originated from) and Chumley is the one who uses the Koala cards(and he kinda looks and acts like a Koala come to think of it) and the episode the archetype showed up in was episode 9 of season 1 "family business" where Chumley had to duel his old man to keep attending "duel academy"(a sort of college built by Kaiba) so it's technically not a fake card it just only appears in the anime along with "dizzy" angel and "dizzy" tiger
17:00 Soooo, your Discord gave you the version of Z-ARC from the anime debut, which does completely different stuff from the actual card.... And for lore reasons is literally every type of monster available in the game except Ritual. Have fun with that.
As someone who quit yugioh to play magic, this was hilarious. Each card nowadays worth their power level can be as thick as a paragraph in the effect text.
And then there's Gren Maju, who only has one line of text in their effect and is basically a rock to throw into your opponent's face and instantly win. If you do like 2 cards of setup
11:35 It says it like that for a reason. By having that condition on both sides of the colon, which represents activation : resolution, this card can be fizzled by responding with an instant that drops the target's power below 1500 or flips it face-down. Contrast to the activation condition of Needle Ceiling, "Activate only if there are 4 or more monsters on the field : Destroy all face-up monsters." If this is played, then a response drops the number of monsters to less than 4, it will still resolve and destroy whatever is left.
And y'all thought WotC was bad... 1: Taro USED TO be decent. Now it's ass. 2: Calculator has never been good. Gimmick card. 3: Match winners have never been legal afaik, and are clearly nonsensical anyway. 4: Toad is, and always has been, a good card. Cheesed more than anything, these years. 5: Dragonar is meh. Basically has to be cheesed out, and can summon other big guys. Big beater efect, as well. 6: Last Warrior has always been epic cheese bait. Okay, but good way back around release. 7: Floodgate is good, but for control decks, and especially in Duel Links, a more cramped, restricted version of the game. 8: Ass. Just an old-school joke of an anime reference, afaik. 9: Fun gimmick card, and nothing more. 10: Good card, but has fallen out of use. 11: Broken as fuck, but mostly cheesed. Banned for the Asian half of the game, and for good reason. 12: Very meh. Not even used much in Pendulum decks, throughout its lifespan. 13: Bad. 14: Mediocre, unprinted nuke. Would be fun to see, though, like Un- cards. 15: haha funny cute 16: Arguably the best resource advantage source EVER. Probably won't ever be unbanned. 17: ZARC is an awesome boss monster. Bout it. Hardly near as broken as Emrakul must've been, but just as fun to cheese out.
The "dragon balls" on the monster cards are called levels, if the "dragon balls" is colored black its called a rank instead. You can only understand levels when you look at cards that have levels included in its card effect. Also summoning monsters sometimes are related to levels because they need requirements to summon them one way or another,
To me it sounds like your bag is usually more of a "beyg", for sure true it stands out like if you've ever heard a Canadian on voice comms give themselves away when they let out a "soaree" (sorry) lol
Flipping the table is a real card.... but it hasn't been printed yet (there's a LOT of anime-exclusive cards waiting to be printed, even from the first episode of the original anime). As for supreme king z-arc, the version posted was what the card looks like in the anime. In the anime it's part pendulum, part fusion, part synchro, part xyz (hence the 4 colored background). When they printed it, they simplified it to just being part pendulum and part fusion.
I love how he kept nitpicking how most of the cards had nothing to with Egyptian mythos, like my brother in christ Yugioh hasn't been about Egyptian stuff since 2005
This was great! I love yugioh, the cards are definitely wild so your confusion is relatable. I've never noticed the level indicators look like Dragon Balls.
btw YGO has a monster zone, spell trap zone etc that comprise the field. there are 5 monster zones + 2 extra monster zones. more or less it limits how many cards you can have on the field also monsters don't autodie if they have 0 defense. and attacking (normally) takes the position in account (both atk position use both creatures atk for example.)
3:08 - never saw this card, but the effect is same as Victory Dragon - you win the match - means you automatically win even if the format is three duels - which is most official duels - normally you win one, lose second and then go to tie breaker, if you won first match with this card, there is no second duel
Terms to know before the list. Level: See those stars near the top? The number corresponds to the card's level. 1-4 can be normal summoned with no issue, 5-6 need to tribute a monster (send a creature to the graveyard/discard pile in order to summon it), 7 and up need 2 monsters. Type: Warrior, spellcaster, Fiend, Aqua, Thunder, ect. Basically, this be what the monster is. Attribute: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Divine. This is what element the card is linked to. Archetype: Cards generally linked by a common name. Examples include Dark Magician, Stardust, Synchron, HERO, Utopia, Number(s), ect. Material: Cards used for summoning other monsters. In the case of XYZ monsters, they go under the card to be used as fuel for their effects when applicable. Thus, Utopic Dragonair would use one of the cards used as material for its effect activation. Extra Deck Monsters: Fusion (purple, requires you to send two specific monsters listed on the card to the grave, usually, and often comes with a requisite field spell), Synchro (requires a Tuner and non-tuner monster with levels matching the card (and sometimes specific requirements for the Synchro material)), XYZ monsters (overlay monsters of the same level, again with specific requirements for type and attribute at times), Pendulum (goes to the extra deck upon destruction, face-up, and can be set as spell cards on the far ends of the board (with their own effects when set as spells) to allow Pendulum Summoning (take the numbers for both scales in each pendulum zone, summon out monsters with levels between those two numbers)), and Link (just send whatever monsters, so long as the materials work for the monster itself, with Link monsters counting up to their Link rating for this purpose). Now that the basics are out of the way... 1. Literally what? Yeah, don't expect this even in table 500 unless someone really loves this card) 2. Meme card used in OTK decks (and even then, not high level ones). You just bring out high level boys for unga bunga caveman OTK (levels go all the way up to 12 and there's cards you can bring out that are high level but don't need tributes so long as you're fine with a nerfed stat line). 3. Banned because cards like these are a headache in tournament play since people just surrender instead of letting them attack for game, ruining the fun. 4. Respect the Toad, fear the Toad. If a deck can break out Bahamut Shark (Rank 4 monster brought out by using two level 4 water monsters), you WILL be seeing this card and it WILL interrupt your plays AND stealing that really powerful card you tried to use. 5. Utopia isn't coming from Ancient Egypt, it's coming from interplanetary warfare. Also, this card doesn't get seen too much in my limited experience, Utopia has better cards like Beyond and Ultimate Leo. Or just Utopia Ray in a pinch thanks to the ZW Archetype. 6. Cards got banned in the past because of this guy. If you don't have spells to destroy it or removal/negation that doesn't need a monster on field (or don't rely on monsters due to being Mystic Mine), you just lose. 7. Still relevant in Duel Links. In the proper card game, only relevant if you play the Traptrix archetype. Facedown cards can't activate their effects or be used as material for Synchro, XYZ, or Link plays, meaning they clog up the board, meaning it interrupts the flow of your opponent's plays and you're often able to eliminate it at your leisure. 8. Useless. You're better off playing something like Mind Crush, which actually lets you rip a card out of your opponent's hand. 9. Most relevant in either Ojama (where it can flip its attack to 3k with the archetype field spell) or degenerate lockdown due to its effect denying monster card slots, meaning you can't even summon a monster (since you only get 5 and, with the addition of Ojama Knight, which can block off two more monster zones, you can jam it all up). 10. See 7, just less relevant since some cards LIKE being destroyed or banished. 11. Behold, one of the nightmare cards you saw everywhere thanks to Predaplant Anaconda Verte (pay 2k life to send a fusion spell and use it as the monster's effect, at the cost of stopping other summons after that for the turn + Red Eyes Fusion, which sends monsters from the deck to fuse for Red eyes fusion monsters.). Negation, disruption, burn, and big beatstick. Very little to hate when you control it and much to loathe on the other end of it. 12. Used in the anime and maybe used in pendulum decks. That's it. 13. Very weak in today's meta, especially due to specific material requirements in decks not Dark Magician, Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, or so on. 14. Anime gimmick card used by a _hot sauce guy_ 15. Don't expect to see this ever. If a flip monster isn't a Krawler, Shaddoll, Subterror, or so on, it's not making it, they're too slow now. 16. -No idea what this does.- The draw card EVERY draw card wants to be. 17. Be very grateful this thing was nerved in the real game (the version you read off of), the Anime version was far more nightmarish. 18 and 19. Hungry Burger's a lol gimmick, Heavy Carrotweight Champion has some use in Rikka, which LOVES tributing its Plant-type monsters and being tributed.
stars: level of creature. 5 or 6 monsters require one sacrifice 7 or more require 2. 3 or more tributes are required when stated. short explanation of cards types. some are too long to explain and are very confusing to new players. normal: vanilla effect: has an effect tuner: used to summon a synchro monster flip: has an effect when flipped up (similar to morph) spirit: return to your hand at end of turn (similar to dash) ritual: requires a ritual spell card to summon and sacrafing/discarding monsters fusion: combines two or more monsters by sending them to the graveyard using a spell card or effect unless stated otherwise. synchro: combine two monsters or more monsters, one tuner and one or more non tuner normally, to bring out. xyz: combine two or more monsters with the same level bring out. the monsters are put behind the summoned monster as materials (they are basically counters for effects) pendulum: too complicated for short version link: too complicated for short version. honestly.... this game is too complicated and the show literally had a school for it back when it was just normal, ritual, and fusion monsters.
The fact that someone who has never played the game can look at dragoon and say that it’s op is absolutely hilarious to me, because yes, it is broken as heck and people are still clambering for its ban
Umm dragoon was banned in OCG, dragoon was strong but only briefly and only in the ocg (it feel flat in the tcg because of the late release so by than support to combat it came out), that was October of last year not 7 months ago. Dragoon is perfectly fine, it's more of a noob trap now.
As an ex-Yu-Gi-Oh! player, (2002-2009, because I stopped playing around the time I went to college) I can help translate. So, the symbol in the top right is the monster's attribute (FIRE, WATER, EARTH, WIND, LIGHT, DARK). It's basically which element it is, which is sometimes referenced on other cards. The "dragon balls" are basically a monster's *sigh* "power level". Monsters level 1-4 can be summoned without having to sacrifice another monster card, (by the way, you can only Summon one monster each turn) 5-6 require one, and 7-8 require two. Then you have the monster's type, like Dragon, Spellcaster, etc. And while most monsters have effects these days, I remember cards like Blue-Eyes White Dragon not having effects but instead is all about having an impressive attack/defense for the time being. As far as setting a card goes, you just place it face-down. Horizontal for monsters, and vertically for Spells and Traps. FLIP monsters, as their name suggests, when they get attacked face-down, they flip over and do a thing. So that's pretty much it, but there's been all kinds of other monsters like Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, (half-spell, half monster, the ones with the weird-ass arrows) and then "Link Monsters". Anyways, I'm glad I quit this game when I did, because unlike Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn't really let you build whatever deck you want to anymore. So there you go, I just wrote a book on how to read a Yu-Gi-Oh! card. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a yugioh player this is hilarious lmao, also combat is different in yugioh, you have to destroy every monster on your opponents field before you can attack their lifepoints, not a single yugioh anime show, especially the original, uses the actual real life rules so yeah don't base rulings off of the anime lmao
"they all smelled too bad" says the Magic player as I weep and seek to cauterize my own nose when going to the same FLGS to play both Magic and Warhammer
technically Flippimg the table is a real card- sort of. it only appeared in 1 episode of the gx anime and a few video games but has no physical release.
This man is so hung up on the Ancient Egypt thing it’s pretty funny. Like dude, they did the Egypt thing for like 3 years out of the 20 years this game has been around lol.
So flipping the table was part of an anime only deck from the yugioh gx season the deck was used by one of the kids dad who was an alcohol brewer funny as hell episode when 4kids dub it they turned all instants of alcohol to hot sauce
A match is a best of 3 so if this card wins you the duel say game 1 of 3 then you automatically win the best of 3 and thats why its nit allowed in duels or more like not allowed in official duels

and Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic has the most text overall (when you add the pendulum text and monster effect)
Lol
At least Yugioh cards have all their text reliably on ONE side of the card, hard as it is to read or parse. MtG has gotten so off the rails some of the text is now appearing in FIVE other card faces for online releases.
@@christopherb501 that's cards from literally an online only mode, those cards don't even exist in physical form.
Yugioh has everything and everyone.
You get all sorts of archetypes ranging from spellcasters, dragons, ninjas, samurai, construction vehicles, penguins, sushi warships, literal cards, dragons taking human maid forms and so much more.
But one of the most powerful cards in the game is a cute zombie girl and a bunch of cockroaches
This sums it up perfectly.
And a smiling green pot, so powerful no one knows what it does
You forgot the giant rock that can reenact the extinction of the dinosaurs
@@dylandang7365 And then a powerful wizard that stalled you until you are out of card. You know who did I was talking about. right? The most anti combo card ever existed.
in our defence alot of archetypes are cute zombie girls
and maxx c was the first card to singlehandedly generate so much power, konami learnt from their mistake?
anyways onto another related toppic: the card is so powerful it's probably singlehandedly slowing down the OCG format to control
The fun part is the whole shadow realm thing was created for the English dub. In Japan Yugi just straight up kills people.
Ironically sending your opponent to a dimension of endless torment seems comparatively WORSE than just killing someone.
@@danielzakgaim2764 yeah tell that to 4kids.
@@ChadKakashi "It's okay. As long as it's not death, it's 100% fine."
-4kids. Probably.
Same goes for "sent to the stars" in gx and "to the netherworld" in 5ds.
I mean, there literally is a shadow realm that they go to in the Japanese version. Whenever they announce a shadow game, they enter a different realm. That realm just doesn't have a name in the original. The dub just makes the show more thematically consistent by naming it and referencing it outside of shadow games
"you win the match" is different to "you win the duel", in Yugioh a Match like in MTG is best 2 out of 3, so if a card says "If this card reduces your opponents lifepoints to 0, you win the match" it means "if you do lethal damage with this card, you automatically win the 2/3 do not play another round"
so you just have to concede before the damage is dealt?
@@morreamanha yep that is why all cards with this effects are illegal for any sanctioned events
@@morreamanha yep, it's why all the match winners say "can't be used in a duel", except for victory dragon, and that card is banned for that exact reason.
Also: Fun Fact: In the OCG you cannot concede on your opponents turn, only in the TCG, so in the OCG you cannot concede while it is attacking
@@mtb8135 These kind of cards are illegal but also the trophy for winning tournament.
@@xolotltolox wrong. you can concede at any point. it's the rules.
ocg players just tend to choose not to... for some reason
As a yugioh player I fucking loved every second of this glorious trainwreck
it was really funny and irritating at the same time. Though it was fun how he literally knows nothing about the game.
As an ex yugioh player, this brought back a lot of painful memories.

he did pretty well with dragoon though..
As someone who plays Yu-Gi-Oh, this was hilarious
I especially loved the dragon balls comment!! 😈😈😈😈
His reaction to Nirvana was perfect.
agreed
Agreed
it really is a crazy game to us mtg players, but with the way wotc has been going.....yugioh is looking better.
It's okay. We Yugioh players don't know what our cards do half the time either.
Still trying to find out what Pot of Greed does
@@SakuraAvalon Be careful. I've once heard that you'll tear the very fabric of reality to shreds once you've figured that out.
If only you could read them...
Not only is "Flipping the Table" a real card, but it also played a big role in an episode of Yugioh GX.
I'll show my opponent table flip!! Go golgari LD!! We'll see how many ppl are smiling after I blow all their lands up mwahaha!!!!
technically not a real card. As in it never got printed.
Technically, it's an anime & video game exclusive
And number Monsters in zexal heck even synchro
Red-Eyes Dragoon is pretty much exactly as strong as you think it is.
@@Pine_Hill_Prophit the cards still cracked you just cant cheese it out anymore so its useless until they print dark magician fusion with no summoning restriction 💀
As a Yu-Gi-Oh! player, the "1996 Kazuki Takahashi" and the "TV Tokyo, Konami" text are copyright text. The original copyright of Yu-Gi-Oh was made in 1996 with the original manga by Kazuki Takahashi, and was later renewed by Studio Dice, TV Tokyo, and Konami in 2020.
I also just love these reaction videos. Just seeing your reaction to Nirvana High Paladin, one of the cards with the most card text in the game, and then immediately seeing DOOM DONUTS made me howl with laughter. I'll talk about each card in a bit of detail here.
*Shiba-Warrior Taro* was a card illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of the manga, based on Takahashi's actual Shiba Inu, Taro.
*The Calculator* was used in some One Turn Kill strategies, but it's very niche.
*Lorelei, the Symphonic Arsenal* is a "Match Winner" promotional card, given to winners of the 2008 Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship. It's illegal for tournament play because if Lorelei would reduce an opponent's Life Points to 0 in Game 1 of a best-of-3, a player would just win the best-of-3... which could lead to people surrendering right before the attack goes through, and judges being called.
*Toadally Awesome* is either loved or hated by the community. It is very obnoxious in its effects, especially that the Deck it's made for can make it every turn (and it can recycle itself if it gets sent to the Graveyard).
*Number 99: Utopia Dragonar* is meant to be support for the "Utopia" set of cards, which is mostly about the card "Number 39: Utopia", which is a "Number" monster that can be made easily by 2 Level 4 monsters.
*Last Warrior from Another Planet* is usually cheated out at the end of a combo, with its effects negated for the turn so that it doesn't destroy the player's own monsters. Even then, it's kind of niche at the moment, but if it happens, the opponent's basically just hoping to draw into a kill card.
*Floodgate Trap Hole* is a really good card in the mobile Yu-Gi-Oh! spinoff, "Duel Links", but has not seen much competitive play in the card game recently.
*Mind Haxorz* is just a joke card, honestly. Spending a card just for knowledge is too steep of a cost for competitive decks.
*Ojama King*, the fusion of *Black*, *Green*, and *Yellow*, locks down 3 of your opponent's 5 Main Monster Zones, meaning they can only summon 2 monsters in their Main Monster Zones.
*Bottomless Trap Hole* has been a competitive staple for the early years of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but died out of play eventually, since Trap Cards have to be Set for your turn before you can use them, which are now seen as too slow. ...Most of the time.
*Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon* is a very controversial card in the current metagame, and some people are asking for it to be banned because it can be easily Summoned by another monster's effect, just by sending a Spell (Red-Eyes Fusion, specifically), "Dark Magician", and "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from your Deck to your Graveyard.
*Nirvana High Paladin* has seen no use in the competitive metagame, and most people who play Yu-Gi-Oh! still don't know what it does; they only know it has some of the longest card text in the game.
*Koalo-Koala* was probably used as a target for "Magical Scientist" back when that First Turn Kill wasn't banned. Nowadays, it's not used at all.
*Flipping the Table* is actually a weird anime-exclusive card that's been in a few Yu-Gi-Oh! video games.
*Doom Donuts* has a Flip Effect, which means you have to Set it face-down before it's flipped face-up to activate the effect. That effect then triggers when it's flipped, no matter when it happens; even if it's being attacked and you have to reveal it by flipping it up, it just destroys everything that has a 0 in its stats.
*Pot of Greed* is banned, probably because everyone in the anime had to keep explaining it every time it was used because it was so complicated.
*Supreme King Z-ARC* looks completely different card-wise between the card game and anime. Plus, it's actually worse than one of its "Supreme King Dragon" servants, because "Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom" is banned for a First Turn Kill.
Also, *Hungry Burger* and *World Carrotweight Champion* are real cards. You even have to Summon Hungry Burger with a card named *Hamburger Recipe*. Hungry Burger is one of the biggest joke cards of the game.
"Is this a real card??"
Spoken like a person who's never seen the evil chair deck played by the massage chair butler.
These "card player reviews cards from other games" vids are the best shit.
And, yeah, Konami of America is stupid about names sometimes. And Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't do set symbols(or credit artists), 1st Edition means its the first printing of it.
"Magical Something", anyone?
As a Yu-Gi-Oh player I gotta say I had the exact same reaction when I first saw a pendulum card.
Same here. I grew up playing yugioh with anime rules from the first show, and then tried to learn modern yugioh only to see pendulums in the deck I got, and I just decided to stop. Then I came back again and saw links and decided to stop. Then masterduel came out and I finally learned it.
as a casual mtg player who sometimes plays yu-gi-oh, Yu-Gi-Oh as a card game is like the love child of every broken mtg combo deck that ever has existed. I've played entire matches and had absolutely no clue what my opponent was doing the entire time, because there was an entire book written on each of their cards and I don't have time to read a novel when I'm playing a card game.
So, Yu-Gi-Oh is the One punch man of card games? XD
@@TabooX1984 if u r not prepared to win or prevent ur opponent from winning by the time both players have taken 1 turn, good fucking luck ever winning a duel against any meta or rogue deck and about 80% of all other decks. There’s almost no deck incapable of dealing lethal in 1 turn. U usually play either a deck that specializes in otking or a deck that focuses on saying “NO!” To everything ur opponent does in hopes u can drag the duel out long enuf for ur turtle slow deck to win. And then theres combo decks that do it all. I’ve seen numerous combo decks pump out 5++ negates on turn without even blinking an eye. I’ve seen combo decks pump out infinite negates turn 1.
The Extra Deck alone is effectively over a dozen companions.
@@christopherb501 That is a horrifying thought. One companion was scary enough.
Read endymion, mighty master of magic I dare you
Do yu-gi-oh players have supervision? No. Do they require supervision? Yes mostly when you give them sharp objects.
You can't even trust those, sometimes those sharp objects come inside plush toys
"I need an adult here!"
It's weird not having a Yu-Gi-Oh player here to explain what these cards are in real time, like a lot of these videos
hungry burger is summoned by having a spell called "hamberger recipe" this is a real thing
Bro, just say it: Hamburger Helper
No shit, sherlock. Did you read the rules or something?
I played a lot of yugioh before Magic and dear God I both absolutely love and fucking deteste EVERYTHING I just watched.....
Couldn't have asked for a better video
Cannot wait for des's tries to learn yugioh rules and realizes just how much more f'ed up rosewater can make mtg if he ever gets a yugioh rule book dropped in his lap.
Remember the stack bs with Yu-Gi-Oh?? Your trap can't stop my quick play, and then I counter with another quick play then they counter with continuous trap that negates all traps ....!? Hate that!!!
God help us all... The first thing that would happen is the concept of rotation would get flung into orbit. The color pie would die... And then all counter spells would be banned.
@@shanewroe18 missed timing. . . . . Enough said
As a yugioh player this was amazing I would love to see more of this if you wanted to do it again. And I can vouch all are real other then "flip the table" and the first "Zarc" you showed/saw.
The “thing/effect” is akin to “creature - thing” and tells it it has an effect, which the text then tells us. Normal monsters don’t have effects, and cards can ask for normal/effect/etc so that distinction does matter. Pendulum, Xyz, fusion, synchro, link, and ritual are also different types of cards which all have different requirements to bring out. The stars are closer to mana cost than wishes, but 4 or less, 5&6, and 7&8 are the thresholds for normal summoning, where 4 or less take nothing to summon, 5&6 needs one monster to be sacrificed for it, and more than that take two monsters. Effects can say I’m wrong, as lorelei shows.
Edit: thought after the fact that I could describe pendulum monsters (mr. novel in many boxes) as “enchantment creature”. Also, normal/tribute summons are akin to “land for turn”.
Hey, Utopia Dragonar only lets you use each of its effects once per turn, so it can only reduce one of your opponents attacking monsters atk to 0 oer turn, plus despite having high stats and being easy to cheat out with its related cards, it's easy to kill because any removal spell or effect can pop it, and every single Yugioh deck has tons of them. Hope this helps explain why it's not broken or even played at all, and the 3+ Level 12 monsters are what you put under it as a cost to summon it from your extra deck (face down command zone).
You miss the part that actually matters on Dragonar - you can rank up into it, and it cheats out Number monsters
I heard from a magic player one time that yugioh is just a magic clone. He knows less about yugioh than even you do.
To be fair, MtG was the inspiration for the card game in the manga, which later was adapted into the Yu-Gi-Oh! we know, via Konami.
That said, calling it a 'clone', is pretty idiotic.
@@SakuraAvalon Yep. Just to name a few differences...
You can have infinite permanents in MTG. You can have only up to 5 (6 if you count the Extra Monster Zone, and either 7 or 8 if you count the Pendulum Zones) monsters in play, and up to 5 Spell/Traps (MTG: noncreature nonland permanents) this, I believe, is what caused the confusion regarding Ojama King's effect.
In MTG, you attack once, but with all of your chosen attacking creatures at a time. In YGO, each monster attacks individually.
In MTG, attacks are declared to the opponent (YGO: directly) and the opponent chooses whether or not to block. In YGO, attacks are declared to an opponent's monster (MTG: directly).
In MTG, any extra damage done to blocking creatures is wasted unless if the blocked creature has trample. In YGO, excess damage is dealt to the opponent if the attacked monster is in Attack Position and its ATK is lower. It's complicated if you don't get it, but eh.
In MTG, creatures have Summoning Sickness, which disallows them to attack or use their own tap abilities when put into play (which to this day still makes me wonder why this isn't just called summon. I mean, it IS called Summoning Sickness...) unless they have haste. In YGO, only a select type of monster card (not monster Type, that's something entirely different. Yep, it's complicated) and a select few monsters outside this category have this. Most other monsters can attack and do whatever they can in the same turn. And that's why YGO doesn't have a Battle Phase (MTG: combat phase) on turn 1.
Oh, and of course... YGO has no Mana costs. Costs in YGO are done by paying Life Points, discarding and/or banishing (MTG: exiling) cards, Tributing (MTG: sacrificing) monsters, and otherwise sending your cards from one place to another.
It also has a lot of mechanics that can be as confusing as Banding, if not moreso. Pendulum Monsters are a fantastic example of this.
@@DenTehMan I think a TH-camr once said something in the lines of:
"MTG is like playing Chess,
Pokemon TCG is like playing Checkers,
YuGiOh is like playing Modern Warfare 2."
@@DenTehManGood on ya, most people fail to translate mechanics but you did well.
Lorelei's effect basically makes you win best of three when you deal lethal damage on first game. (I'm not sure you can concede before the attack to just move to the second game, but some people say you can). It is not a legal card (I think, not sure). The legal but banned card with similar effect is Victory Dragon.
Dragoon is just planeswalker.
TCG you can. OCG you cant concede on your opponents turn.
You are allowed to concede a duel at any point so if your opponent declares an attack with any "match winner" you can surrender and just go to game 2 at that point.
Which is 1 reason why every Match Winner Card has the its illegal to play in a duel Text except for Victory Dragon which is banned via Ban List.
Expecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards to be always related to Egyptian mythology was the funniest thing.
I haven't played in a bout a decade but I remember they asked the mark rosewater of yugioh if they would ever make an "un"-set. His response was essentially: "are you freakin kidding me look at nekogal 1 every set is an unset"
Was watching TheDuelLogs review MTG cards and other card games. Now it's time for the other way around.
Glad to hear people are having similar ideas
And Fusion monsters need you to use a card or effect to fuse the monsters it lists by sending them from your hand or field to the grave to summon it, that's why it Last Warrior lists those two. And it's not played because despite it's oppressive effect, it has no protection. So it dies to every doom blade
Am a Yu-gi-oh player and honestly I did not get mad I had a great time. It was so funny when you looked up if cards was real. 😂
I loved this section. As a former Yugioh player, I approve this kind of content, haha. And yes, those are real yugioh cards. As for the names and drawings in them, they don't necessarily have to be about Egiptian stuff. Supposedly it started from there, but the cards "evolved" along with human civilizations from all around the world and fantasy places.
Given that ZEXAL reveals the universe's very genesis from a card (while a metaphysical construct, yes, seriously), the Egypt stuff was merely one prominent deviation.
As someone who doesn't play Yu-Gi-Oh, this was hilarious.
For ojama king question. You can only have 5 creatures on field (idk if it still a rule but back when Ojama King was made it was). So basically OK stops you from using 3 of them.
You can have up to 6 if you're not playing Classic due to the addition of the Extra Monster Zone.
Yes it's still a rule, they also included Extra Monster zones where your link monsters and monsters pendulum summon from the Extra deck goes
@@Lucario1121 anything from the extra deck can go there. but only link and pendulum HAVE to go there (or to where a link arrow points to)
@@BlackKaiserDrake 7 actually. Hard to pull it off, but you can use both Extra Monster Zones, if you form a Co-Link from one Extra Monster Zone to the other, before your Opponent puts anything into that EMZ.
@@SakuraAvalon how do you pull that off though as I've never seen it done seems kind of like an illegal move to pull off
2:56 if I'm not mistaken, a match consist of 3 duels, in order to win a match you have to win 2 times, so which means, this card allow you to win a match by just winning one time... and that is why they made it not legal which is what "this card cannot be use in a duel" means.... it's basically just a collector's item.
You are correct.
You are actually ALMOST correct. The Match Winners aren't not legal because they are Match Winners. They're not legal because the opponent can concede at any time, leaving the Match Winner effect null.
@@DenTehMan And thus, becoming a rulings nightmare. They made exactly ONE legal for a bit, Victory Dragon, but got banned afterwards
"flipping the table" is a thing in the anime and it's from the "dizzy" archetype that focuses entirely on hot sauce and alcoholism(it's an archetype that only shows up in the anime) it was used by Chumleys dad who ran a hot sauce factory/brewery in the 2nd series(yugioh GX which also happens to be the series the Ojamas originated from) and Chumley is the one who uses the Koala cards(and he kinda looks and acts like a Koala come to think of it) and the episode the archetype showed up in was episode 9 of season 1 "family business" where Chumley had to duel his old man to keep attending "duel academy"(a sort of college built by Kaiba)
so it's technically not a fake card it just only appears in the anime along with "dizzy" angel and "dizzy" tiger
HOT SAUCE MAKES YOU DIZZY!!!
18:20
Those are pendulum scales. Link arrows are an entirely different mechanic.
17:00 Soooo, your Discord gave you the version of Z-ARC from the anime debut, which does completely different stuff from the actual card.... And for lore reasons is literally every type of monster available in the game except Ritual.
Have fun with that.
As a ygo player this was a disaster but really funny!
"Is this a real card" Oh man... you ain't seen nothin' yet!
Bro yugioh has everything.
(-wait a minute does he thinks yugioh is all about ancient Egypt,and the answer is completely no!!!)
3:02 Des forgets matches are comprised of games (mostly). Also please do a part 2 or make this a miniseries for different card games.
Yes like magi nation or Pokemon... Maybe. Prefer magi Nation
On Lorelei, it's match and not game. You just straight up win your best of.
...unless opponent concedes in response ;P
As someone who quit yugioh to play magic, this was hilarious. Each card nowadays worth their power level can be as thick as a paragraph in the effect text.
Yuuuuuup
And then there's Gren Maju, who only has one line of text in their effect and is basically a rock to throw into your opponent's face and instantly win. If you do like 2 cards of setup
And even then, the older cards with shorter sentences can be more powerful than the 4 paragraph effects of a modern card
@@thepronoob4039 or pot of greed wich us still banned : draw 2 cards... its hilarious
@@ColdTiger what older cards are you talking about???
11:35 It says it like that for a reason. By having that condition on both sides of the colon, which represents activation : resolution, this card can be fizzled by responding with an instant that drops the target's power below 1500 or flips it face-down. Contrast to the activation condition of Needle Ceiling, "Activate only if there are 4 or more monsters on the field : Destroy all face-up monsters." If this is played, then a response drops the number of monsters to less than 4, it will still resolve and destroy whatever is left.
And y'all thought WotC was bad...
1: Taro USED TO be decent. Now it's ass.
2: Calculator has never been good. Gimmick card.
3: Match winners have never been legal afaik, and are clearly nonsensical anyway.
4: Toad is, and always has been, a good card. Cheesed more than anything, these years.
5: Dragonar is meh. Basically has to be cheesed out, and can summon other big guys. Big beater efect, as well.
6: Last Warrior has always been epic cheese bait. Okay, but good way back around release.
7: Floodgate is good, but for control decks, and especially in Duel Links, a more cramped, restricted version of the game.
8: Ass. Just an old-school joke of an anime reference, afaik.
9: Fun gimmick card, and nothing more.
10: Good card, but has fallen out of use.
11: Broken as fuck, but mostly cheesed. Banned for the Asian half of the game, and for good reason.
12: Very meh. Not even used much in Pendulum decks, throughout its lifespan.
13: Bad.
14: Mediocre, unprinted nuke. Would be fun to see, though, like Un- cards.
15: haha funny cute
16: Arguably the best resource advantage source EVER. Probably won't ever be unbanned.
17: ZARC is an awesome boss monster. Bout it. Hardly near as broken as Emrakul must've been, but just as fun to cheese out.
There was a legal match winner, called Victory Dragon. To everyone's surprise *sarcasm* it got banned.
The "dragon balls" on the monster cards are called levels, if the "dragon balls" is colored black its called a rank instead. You can only understand levels when you look at cards that have levels included in its card effect. Also summoning monsters sometimes are related to levels because they need requirements to summon them one way or another,
To me it sounds like your bag is usually more of a "beyg", for sure true it stands out like if you've ever heard a Canadian on voice comms give themselves away when they let out a "soaree" (sorry) lol
Flipping the table is a real card.... but it hasn't been printed yet (there's a LOT of anime-exclusive cards waiting to be printed, even from the first episode of the original anime).
As for supreme king z-arc, the version posted was what the card looks like in the anime. In the anime it's part pendulum, part fusion, part synchro, part xyz (hence the 4 colored background). When they printed it, they simplified it to just being part pendulum and part fusion.
Gawd i want a video of you trying to learn YGO now. I couldnt stop laughing at this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a yugioh player and your reaction is the same as my reaction whenever I read cards of an archetype I'm not familiar with.
I love how he kept nitpicking how most of the cards had nothing to with Egyptian mythos, like my brother in christ Yugioh hasn't been about Egyptian stuff since 2005
This was great! I love yugioh, the cards are definitely wild so your confusion is relatable. I've never noticed the level indicators look like Dragon Balls.
btw YGO has a monster zone, spell trap zone etc that comprise the field. there are 5 monster zones + 2 extra monster zones. more or less it limits how many cards you can have on the field also monsters don't autodie if they have 0 defense. and attacking (normally) takes the position in account (both atk position use both creatures atk for example.)
3:08 - never saw this card, but the effect is same as Victory Dragon - you win the match - means you automatically win even if the format is three duels - which is most official duels - normally you win one, lose second and then go to tie breaker, if you won first match with this card, there is no second duel
Well, you were correct about one thing. Red-eyes Dark Dragoon is one of the strongest cards ever made.
I'll give you props for that.
I’m a yugioh player and a magic player. It was fun to watch. You should do more.
But what does pot of greed do?
Terms to know before the list.
Level: See those stars near the top? The number corresponds to the card's level. 1-4 can be normal summoned with no issue, 5-6 need to tribute a monster (send a creature to the graveyard/discard pile in order to summon it), 7 and up need 2 monsters.
Type: Warrior, spellcaster, Fiend, Aqua, Thunder, ect. Basically, this be what the monster is.
Attribute: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Divine. This is what element the card is linked to.
Archetype: Cards generally linked by a common name. Examples include Dark Magician, Stardust, Synchron, HERO, Utopia, Number(s), ect.
Material: Cards used for summoning other monsters. In the case of XYZ monsters, they go under the card to be used as fuel for their effects when applicable. Thus, Utopic Dragonair would use one of the cards used as material for its effect activation.
Extra Deck Monsters: Fusion (purple, requires you to send two specific monsters listed on the card to the grave, usually, and often comes with a requisite field spell), Synchro (requires a Tuner and non-tuner monster with levels matching the card (and sometimes specific requirements for the Synchro material)), XYZ monsters (overlay monsters of the same level, again with specific requirements for type and attribute at times), Pendulum (goes to the extra deck upon destruction, face-up, and can be set as spell cards on the far ends of the board (with their own effects when set as spells) to allow Pendulum Summoning (take the numbers for both scales in each pendulum zone, summon out monsters with levels between those two numbers)), and Link (just send whatever monsters, so long as the materials work for the monster itself, with Link monsters counting up to their Link rating for this purpose).
Now that the basics are out of the way...
1. Literally what? Yeah, don't expect this even in table 500 unless someone really loves this card)
2. Meme card used in OTK decks (and even then, not high level ones). You just bring out high level boys for unga bunga caveman OTK (levels go all the way up to 12 and there's cards you can bring out that are high level but don't need tributes so long as you're fine with a nerfed stat line).
3. Banned because cards like these are a headache in tournament play since people just surrender instead of letting them attack for game, ruining the fun.
4. Respect the Toad, fear the Toad. If a deck can break out Bahamut Shark (Rank 4 monster brought out by using two level 4 water monsters), you WILL be seeing this card and it WILL interrupt your plays AND stealing that really powerful card you tried to use.
5. Utopia isn't coming from Ancient Egypt, it's coming from interplanetary warfare. Also, this card doesn't get seen too much in my limited experience, Utopia has better cards like Beyond and Ultimate Leo. Or just Utopia Ray in a pinch thanks to the ZW Archetype.
6. Cards got banned in the past because of this guy. If you don't have spells to destroy it or removal/negation that doesn't need a monster on field (or don't rely on monsters due to being Mystic Mine), you just lose.
7. Still relevant in Duel Links. In the proper card game, only relevant if you play the Traptrix archetype. Facedown cards can't activate their effects or be used as material for Synchro, XYZ, or Link plays, meaning they clog up the board, meaning it interrupts the flow of your opponent's plays and you're often able to eliminate it at your leisure.
8. Useless. You're better off playing something like Mind Crush, which actually lets you rip a card out of your opponent's hand.
9. Most relevant in either Ojama (where it can flip its attack to 3k with the archetype field spell) or degenerate lockdown due to its effect denying monster card slots, meaning you can't even summon a monster (since you only get 5 and, with the addition of Ojama Knight, which can block off two more monster zones, you can jam it all up).
10. See 7, just less relevant since some cards LIKE being destroyed or banished.
11. Behold, one of the nightmare cards you saw everywhere thanks to Predaplant Anaconda Verte (pay 2k life to send a fusion spell and use it as the monster's effect, at the cost of stopping other summons after that for the turn + Red Eyes Fusion, which sends monsters from the deck to fuse for Red eyes fusion monsters.). Negation, disruption, burn, and big beatstick. Very little to hate when you control it and much to loathe on the other end of it.
12. Used in the anime and maybe used in pendulum decks. That's it.
13. Very weak in today's meta, especially due to specific material requirements in decks not Dark Magician, Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, or so on.
14. Anime gimmick card used by a _hot sauce guy_
15. Don't expect to see this ever. If a flip monster isn't a Krawler, Shaddoll, Subterror, or so on, it's not making it, they're too slow now.
16. -No idea what this does.- The draw card EVERY draw card wants to be.
17. Be very grateful this thing was nerved in the real game (the version you read off of), the Anime version was far more nightmarish.
18 and 19. Hungry Burger's a lol gimmick, Heavy Carrotweight Champion has some use in Rikka, which LOVES tributing its Plant-type monsters and being tributed.
Dragonar IS played in Ytopia cuz it can freely bring out Leo Utopia Ray and Number 38
5:25 we are in the middle of an existential crisis… and yes all of those cards are real… except for the table
I love the explanation what detach a material means. From now on that's what i'm going to do as well.
Man standard sucks balls maybe I could try Yu-Gi-Oh... *looks at Yu-Gi-Oh card*... alright fuck that.
stars: level of creature. 5 or 6 monsters require one sacrifice 7 or more require 2. 3 or more tributes are required when stated.
short explanation of cards types. some are too long to explain and are very confusing to new players.
normal: vanilla
effect: has an effect
tuner: used to summon a synchro monster
flip: has an effect when flipped up (similar to morph)
spirit: return to your hand at end of turn (similar to dash)
ritual: requires a ritual spell card to summon and sacrafing/discarding monsters
fusion: combines two or more monsters by sending them to the graveyard using a spell card or effect unless stated otherwise.
synchro: combine two monsters or more monsters, one tuner and one or more non tuner normally, to bring out.
xyz: combine two or more monsters with the same level bring out. the monsters are put behind the summoned monster as materials (they are basically counters for effects)
pendulum: too complicated for short version
link: too complicated for short version.
honestly.... this game is too complicated and the show literally had a school for it back when it was just normal, ritual, and fusion monsters.
Anymore whenever Konami prints a authentic Instant win effect card they say that it can't be used in a duel because they don't want another exodia
This video for a yugioh player is like having 5 strokes at the same time while dying from laughter , i love it
4:43
Pendulum Monsters: Baby I'm not even here. I'm a hallucination
I've been waiting for this for a hot minute, guy.
I feel like all Tabletop card games need Koalas. 15:29
Do yu-gi-oh players have supervision? No, we just don't read cards
When is part 2 coming out?
Fun fact every single card you saw is legit cards however some cards never made it out of the show
The fact that someone who has never played the game can look at dragoon and say that it’s op is absolutely hilarious to me, because yes, it is broken as heck and people are still clambering for its ban
let people have fun. banning is communist shit
Umm dragoon was banned in OCG, dragoon was strong but only briefly and only in the ocg (it feel flat in the tcg because of the late release so by than support to combat it came out), that was October of last year not 7 months ago. Dragoon is perfectly fine, it's more of a noob trap now.
The first image of Supreme King Z-ARC is the anime version of the card, the second one is the real game version.
As an ex-Yu-Gi-Oh! player, (2002-2009, because I stopped playing around the time I went to college) I can help translate. So, the symbol in the top right is the monster's attribute (FIRE, WATER, EARTH, WIND, LIGHT, DARK). It's basically which element it is, which is sometimes referenced on other cards. The "dragon balls" are basically a monster's *sigh* "power level". Monsters level 1-4 can be summoned without having to sacrifice another monster card, (by the way, you can only Summon one monster each turn) 5-6 require one, and 7-8 require two. Then you have the monster's type, like Dragon, Spellcaster, etc. And while most monsters have effects these days, I remember cards like Blue-Eyes White Dragon not having effects but instead is all about having an impressive attack/defense for the time being. As far as setting a card goes, you just place it face-down. Horizontal for monsters, and vertically for Spells and Traps. FLIP monsters, as their name suggests, when they get attacked face-down, they flip over and do a thing. So that's pretty much it, but there's been all kinds of other monsters like Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, (half-spell, half monster, the ones with the weird-ass arrows) and then "Link Monsters". Anyways, I'm glad I quit this game when I did, because unlike Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn't really let you build whatever deck you want to anymore. So there you go, I just wrote a book on how to read a Yu-Gi-Oh! card. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can smell the smoke coming of his head trying to rap his head around this
That he didn’t ask what Pot of Greed does disappoints me
This was great loved the trainwreck of a video.
Hope you have a good day or night.
Dang, wish I was here for the premiere for this one.
As a yugioh player this is hilarious lmao, also combat is different in yugioh, you have to destroy every monster on your opponents field before you can attack their lifepoints, not a single yugioh anime show, especially the original, uses the actual real life rules so yeah don't base rulings off of the anime lmao
I haven't heard of YGO in ages but this just makes it look like MTG on dangerous amounts of crack
Set card just means face down like morph. Monsters and spells can both be set face down.
"So it's a creature and a spell" no sir those would be pendulums
This was stupid but really fun to watch, the youtube recommendation is doing his work
That was painful. Yugioh has changed so much since I played.
As a yu gi oh player, I always enjoy seeing how other card game player reach after seeing yu gi oh cards
"they all smelled too bad" says the Magic player as I weep and seek to cauterize my own nose when going to the same FLGS to play both Magic and Warhammer
I don't even play yuoghion and this was entertaining
The Shiba Warrior Taro card is based on the dog of the late Kazuki Takahashi.
i love that he treated lorelei as a real card, but toadally awesome as a fake one. 10/10 content
When he said detach the wings as material I lost it 😂🤣😂🤣
technically Flippimg the table is a real card- sort of.
it only appeared in 1 episode of the gx anime and a few video games but has no physical release.
Can we get a Vanguard video next Des?
As a Yu-Gi-Oh player, I laughed out loud at 12:11. From then only harder.
Aww sucks you just kinda looked at them without trying to really look at how good they might be. 😞
Hello, will you ever try the new Yu-gi-oh master duel game on the PC? I would like to see your reactions! (its f2p-friendly too!)
I was hoping he'd see Interplanetarypurplrythornydragon, lol.
it's kinda amusing even non-YGO playert know how broken dragoon is lol.
This man is so hung up on the Ancient Egypt thing it’s pretty funny. Like dude, they did the Egypt thing for like 3 years out of the 20 years this game has been around lol.
So flipping the table was part of an anime only deck from the yugioh gx season the deck was used by one of the kids dad who was an alcohol brewer funny as hell episode when 4kids dub it they turned all instants of alcohol to hot sauce
A match is a best of 3 so if this card wins you the duel say game 1 of 3 then you automatically win the best of 3 and thats why its nit allowed in duels or more like not allowed in official duels
Can we get a video of des trys to play modern Yu-Gi-Oh
