I'm surprised no one mentioned Invasion of Chaos, the pack so powerful it singlehandedly caused the Forbidden List to go into effect. It also created the Chaos strategy which would define the next couple of years of the game.
I was gonna suggest that one
If un-erratad chaos emperor dragon was released today it'd still be a completely broken card banned in a day, let alone in 2004 lmao.
I believe it was mentioned in the thread, but didnt make the video.
because most current players didnt play boomer yugioh, it doesnt even cross their minds lmao
Hard agree, that’s the first set in yugioh that felt like anything worth a damn
Please never lose Dire as your editor, that opening bit sent me
Yes it sent me too! Great opening LOL
but do you float on send or just destruction
The original rarity collection did something no other Yu-Gi-Oh pack has done, it felt good to open.
Isn't that like every set in the OCG? Our bar might* be abit low here lol
And it was $85 day 1
Konami printed money and it went to their heads.
Rarity 2 was $140 day 1 and rarity 3 was $120 day 1
WTH
I asked mom for the pack literally named RARITY COLLECTION and she just randomly gets whatever looked bright and sparkly. It's official, Americans suck at reading.
Secrets of Eternity was released in January 2015. This set introduced the Infernoids, a series of monsters that can Special Summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoids from either the hand or graveyard. Notable cards in set include Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Qliphort Monolith, Uni-Zombie, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion, and a card that would bolster Satellarknight to combat the Burning Abyss Shaddoll meta, Stellarknight Constellar Diamond.
classic
the only truly right answer
I was waiting for this answer
I did this exact copypasta on the thread and he didn't see, sadge
It's so funny to think that Amazing Defenders would seriously be in the running if the 3 archetypes were actually competent from the get-go instead of having to wait 2 sets later. Purrely and Rescue Ace as Tier 1 decks, Mikanko as a rogue - borderline Tier 2 deck (albeit very briefly). Tbh it probably would've topped SESL
All three archetypes won at least 1 YCS.
this makes me think it would be a good idea to pick up Ryu-Ge, or anything else from crossover breakers. they will get insane support in the near future.
Valiant Smashers is pretty much the same
Kinda shock to not see the 2019 mega tins, outside of the reprints it brought two of the strongest hand-traps ever along with a perfect answer to most ignorant combo deck boards of the time.
Fair
Nah, I hate the design of DRNM, Nibiru and Shifter to this day. Especially Nibiru because it didn't actually do anything to stop combo decks at the time, it just filtered out the ones who couldn't make Apolousa on the 5th summon.
Who fuck in their right mind likes shifter?
@@mateusrp1994DRNM did so much for Yugioh together with droplets forced decks to layer their endboards which was so good for the game
This video proved to me how underrated BOSH truly is to this day. Set was absolutely insane, twin twisters, raff, quaking, CDI, strike, tin can and Neptabyss, and this is really just scratching the surface.
People did suggest it in the thread, not sure why it didn't make it into the video because, yeah, incredibly powerful and busted.
Today I learned MBT ignored my DOCS defense because he thought Kozmo Dark Destroyer was from BOSH. 😔
But DOCS is so good. D/D got its start. Superheavy Sams, Raidraptors, Fluffal, Melodious, Performage etc. The set basically paved the path for every single ArcV era deck.
Wasn't Starlight also as the last core Ghost Rare in it or I remember it incorrectly?
fusion enforcers turned every deck into Invoked for like 4 years. It also reprinted plant stuff and had the predaplants that got you brilliant fusion, which was a core strategy for most early 2017 decks
Surprised that there is no Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy here. Dragon Rulers and Spellbook of Judgement were super nutty.
it was mentioned in a tweet at 4:47, below the one hes reading, but he skipped over it fsr
Surpised nobody mentioned Secrets of Eternity. Released in January 2015, this set introduced the Infernoids, a series of monsters that can Special Summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoids from either the hand or graveyard.

I'm amazed no one brought up Dragons of Legends 1. That was basically the set that completely defined HAT format. Kuribandit, Mathematicion, Fire/Ice Hand, Steam the Cloak, Wiretap, and SOUL CHARGE!!! It was very much eclipsed when Duelist Allaince came out, but was crazy at that specific time.
"It was very much eclipsed when Duelist Allaince came out"
I mean, that was literally what happened to everything when that set came out.
It's funny when the 'Game Changing' packs are usually the Green ones lmao (DUEA, DUGE ect)
Theyre the series starters, right?
@@fortidogi8620 yeah,usually the one that started with the New anime was the green and has been a tradition as of late. If you pay close attention all of packs are color coded and follow a patern
@@fortidogi8620yep, all the "duelist" sets are green, and start an era
In fact, all the sets from a certain point onward follow the same color order, except that one time during vraind when the MADMEN switched around the white and black set
I've actually got a Duel Links answer for this one: Deep Emotion.
Not only did it introduce Live Twins, Paleozoic Dinomischus & Anamalocarus, Knightmare Cerberus, and a whole swath of good Altergeist cards...
But it brought Effect Veiler to Duel Links. You should've seen the community's reaction when the box contents got revealed. It was wild.
some cards like live twins shouldnt be in duel links
i remember. people were thinking they were gonna bring Ash and it was gonna turn into a mini TCG😭
@@0Heeroyuy01 the most Live Twin does in DL is set up a single pop and enable a stupid skill to give you 2000 extra LP. The bigger problem is when it can be splashed in other decks like Unchained but you can just slap both with matching limit 2-3s to prevent that if it ever does become a problem.
@@lilsunny7399 constant pop and change out set up for another pop same turn is my experience with them
Dark Dimension and Link Revolution were up there as well.
My pick is Duelist Revolution. It made a complete overhaul on how we see and play staples, it also had a huge amount of banger cards like Duality, Veiler, Solemn Warning, Scrap Dragon
Raging tempest
Great cards like grass, foolish burial goods, lost wind, some true kings, full force virus
Great decks and engines like spyral and windwitch
The tier 0 zoodiac deck
And the greatest and most broken card of all time: sea monster of theseus XD
Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon is definitely a very influential set in that it tricked a whole generation of Yu-Gi-Oh fans who only watched the original series into thinking that summoning 1600 atk beaters and setting 2000 def walls was peak Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay.
Maybe because people don't want to read mini abstracts in every card and just want to play a simpler game. It's not that hard to understand why modern Yu-Gi-Oh isn't appealing to a lot of people, it's not only the game mechanics but also having to be prepared for their cards to interact with not only the stuff in their decks but their opponents. It can get overwhelming
@@alonsoarana5307I can get why many people don’t like current yugioh, but I don’t get why people think set 2k wall pass is any better
The disrespect towards rikka is insane. He looks at a deck which won euros twice in a row (one of them was against danger tear) and just calls it playable.
Everyone disrespects Plants until they sit across from it and have to stare down a board of 12 interactions, five 3000+ Atk indestructible, sometimes untargettable monsters, and follow up in hand through 2 handtraps.
dire cooked with that intro
Her intros singlehandedly make her Ws common. Every single one is so good
For a Duel Links answer, I would argue Warriors Unite (for making the second tier 0 format with Six Samurai) and/or Dark Dimension (introducing normal summon Alestor).
Dark Dimension was so good it is still worth using gems in it whenever the discounts come. As there are so many good cards there you don't want to waste all the UR Dream Tickets
Not gonna lie, I still have PTSD vs an Invoked deck because of how annoying Cocytus was when I mained Six Sam back then lol
Comparing to today, those decks are ass
0:07 peanuts reference!
So, to summarize, according to MBT, the most important sets were (not necessarily in order):
Duellist Alliance
Rise of the Duelist
Power of the Elements
The Shining Darkness
Duel Overload
Phantom Darkness
25th Anniversary Rarity Collection 1
Darkwing Blast
Duelist Nexus
Age of Overlord
And debatably
Clash of Rebellions
Wing Raiders
Secret Slayers
Phantom Rage
I agree i actually started on Darkwing Blast and fell in love the Naturia archtype and a free Shaddoll deck that a friend gave me
7:02 THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM!
Phantom Darkness. Let me just list some of the cards from this pack of which some not only made up the best deck of the format, but after TDGS would make up the best deck for the next like, year and a half afterwards plus still see some use to this day to the point where some of them were on the banlist for a long ass time.
Dark Grepher, Armageddon Knight, Dark Armed Dragon, Gladiator's Proving Ground, Gigaplant, Superancient Deepsea King Coealacanth, Super Polymerization, Escape from the Dark Dimension, Goblin Zombie and Allure of Darkness.
If not, Duelist alliance, it's definitely power of the elements
Or
Phantom darkness.
Duel overload is is also up there
Light of Destruction is a very good set that often gets overlooked. Lots of great cards that reinvented some bad GX archetypes into playability (frogs and batteryman being obvious) paired with a good deck on release (Lightsworn).
A quick shoutout to the first Battles of Legend. We saw Timelord support that saw competitive play, relevant reprints of extra deck cards for time like Invoker and Crystal Wing, and literally every Lightsworn card reprint including the YSC prize card.
Hands down Duelist Aliance. Introduced so many busted cards at the time, it wasn't even fair.
Or POTE, considering we got 2 tier 0s (Spright & Tearshizu) introduced from said pack.
I'm super nostalgic for The Secret Forces. My highschool group each picked an archetype and we split 3 boxes getting all of our archetype. I had Nekroz. I completely didn't understand how they worked and honestly didn't until master duel, bweresat format was so cool.
Years later I found a Secret Forces bix at a closing lgs for 25 and it was one of the most fun openings ever
Thanks for including my buddy Ryan in your video! All around great friend and player.
Legacy of Darkness was a pretty impactful set on caveman yugioh.
or at least it was to me personally.
i remember when it first came out, me and 2 friends split a box and our pulls would go on to influence our playstyles from then on.
one friend pulled Freed the Matchless General, which led him to Warrior Toolbox.
the other pulled Dark Ruler Ha Des, leading to Fiend Control.
and i pulled Tyrant Dragon, leading me to Dragon Beatdown.
it was also the set that introduced Spirit monsters, specifically Yata Garasu.
I actaully came back to YGO just as covid was hitting. I bought a 3 boxes of Devastator's and 3 boxes of Shaddolls. Purple Sleeves of course... And then SESL dropped. Immediately went for playsets of Eldlich $58 a copy. Ran through acouple weekends. EZ mode. Sold when they spiked to almost $100 and then I started invested time in the Archetype I knew had a ton of potential because of their evil little mechanic. Rikka. Tributing you OPP cards and a card that said, your opponent tributes one of their monster as a resolution for playing your own mechanic... Yeah, I saw the potential in that set and will always remember that set. I was even sniping as Rikka+VFD.
I think soul fusion deserves a mention. It was the foundation for 3 of 4 TOSS decks (thunder dragons, orcust and salad) and it had some good dangers, mainly snek.
I was thinking of the same things it also if I’m correct that is the set that gave us the danger monsters?
@justinscaife530 it was cybernetic horizon that gave us the 1st wave of danger but this set gave us some important ones.
Photon hypernova is one of my favorites not because what it did to the game was good, but because it has one of the most fun limited/pre-release formats I’ve ever played, a perfect mix of makeable bosses and cool combos
I'd say legacy of darkness, a very underrated set, it introduced spirits and was actually the blueprint for the future CED yata lock a year before it was a thing
Yata, Creature swap, dragon support, warrior support, dark baltar the terrible, Injection, fairy lilly, last turn (a card that changed the meaning of draw games before ring), SUPER REJUVINATION (*DRAGON RULERS FTW*), Twin headed behemoth, royal oppression, freakin fiber jar and exiled force even a legendary ocean
This set was lit with staples, it actually makes invasion of chaos look like an average set
IOC wouldn't be what it was without this trailblazer
Honestly, and I don't care how you all feel about this, but One of the pest packs of all time currently remains to be the first rarity collection. Literally 99% of the cards (because Maxx C was swapped out for some weird trap over here) in that pack were sought after Staples and greatest hits cards now available for the hood, it's exactly what people needed to have access to previously expensive cards in bulk.
true king lithosagym made us think about running multiple but when Unicorn and number 98 came to the front of the meta it became a mandatory part of deck building as extra decks had be come so tight. You had to drop pick between risk loosing an important combo piece for having an better matchup
Duelist Reveloution is the most impactful
It changed so so much. We got Veiler, Scrap dragon which, warning, pot of duality, chivalry (it wasnt as liquid ass back then)
This set changed a lot and marked what the begining of "modern" yugioh
0:45 "One player sets up, the other tries to break and OTK."
Oh I get it, you said "enjoy" sarcastically, right? Right?
I hope so
Kinda funny how Burst of Destiny, which I remember people calling an absolutely insane set when it came out, isn't brought up here once. Floo, Swordsoul, despia/branded support including Branded in Red, and also even the Magistus cards might just be hurtling towards future playability with their recently announced support. I guess that's just what sharing a series with super transformative sets like POTE and sets crammed with staples like ROTD will do to a set's legacy.
For me, RA01. Never have ive seen so many amazing reprints with such a unique set of rarities to all cards in it.
So much of a succes that we are still getting those
Surprised nobody said Invasion of Chaos. That was THE START of the modern trend of powercreep and game design, really.
I cant believe starstrike blast didn't make it. Perhaps the most underrated and underperforming set of all time to only later become the most impactful. Glow-up bulb, Skull meister, swift scare crow, droll & lock bird, vanity's emptyness, forumla synchron.
Tactical Masters (TAMA) Bar-None
In an era where more and more decks are trying to either break boards and push for an FTK, or put up enough negates and locks to tell your opponent theyre not allowed to play, once a TAMA deck enters the fray, the whole dynamic shifts.
Labrynth: Its not just a Trap-deck, its *The* trap-deck. Instead of being tethered to its archetypal inclusions, Labrynth simply asks one thing: "Is it a Normal Trap?" If the answer is yes, they can slot it in and turn it into a weapon in their toolbox of disruptions, creating a dynamic few other control decks can mimic
Runick: Runick Stun is toxic as fuck, dont get me wrong, but when you step into the shoes of a Runick Pilot, youll learn quickly just how much micromanagement you really have to do, balancing your aggressive negates and stuns with keeping the Fountain Flowing, its a lot more than simply floodgate turbo. And while it has fallen off as a pure build, you still see it constantly in hybrid decks to this day
Vaylantz: Not exactly a Meta-hit compared to the other 2, but its still such a fun deck to run. By spinning Pendulum mechanics on their head and focusing on zone-based movement, its everything S-Force wishes it couldve been. It can build unprecedented boards going first, and can break opposing boards like nobody's business going second, but getting there is like playing 4d Chess on a 1d Board.
All 3 decks the set introduced are all glory to strategy and critical thinking, making them truly earning of the title they fall under
Shocked no-one mentioned Breakers of Shadow: Solemn Strike, Cydra infinity, draco-pals, great Kozmo-Support, Kaiju SLumber, twin twister, the first revival of mermail and the end of non-guaranteed super rares.
I really want to mention that echidna will eventually be broken and a problem when they ban snake rain and are allowed to give us good reptiles
Maximum Crisis. Release of Ash, support for Zoo, True Draco’s. The whole set (other than DUAL) was probably the biggest shift.
Phantom Rage also had ZEUS with the entire VW and tri-brgade ( and my favorite pet deck, myutant) and raider's knight with arc rebellion xyz dragon. Fav pack of all time
Hear me out. Cyberdark impact. The highs were up there with the lows of column mechanics. It's pretty obvious the set was experimental as in "let's throw out all these effects and see what they pick up" barrier statues, instant fusion ect
its shining victories for me no super stapels no game design warping cards just my favorit deck making its debut Lunalights a Deck i enjoy to this very day
yay odd eyes isn’t forgotten 0:15 even though I’m fairly sure everyone forgets that odd eyes has an archetype of its own and rather use is it with z-arc or just use single odd eyes monster looking at any ritual player that uses pendulumgraph and vortex also meteorburst for some reason like why do tenpai players have meteorburst is that the only way you guys remember odd eyes instead of raging or rebellions or venom or wing which we still need the gate cards we saw in the anime for them can’t wait for that to happen Konami
Ok grandpa, time for bed
I really enjoyed dark neostorm ! The handtraps were odd in a good way, the secret rare cards to look for insanely interesting.
I know I am biased because it is the set I've started yu gi oh (I was introduced to the game with invasion if chaos with darkfirewall dragon as the iconic monster, but playing crusedia I was desperately looking for avramax and still looking)
i said dune because the format was good(probably the best that mikanko has felt ever in my opinion) and the decks are still playable ish(unchained is just a yama skinsuit thats worn by yubel but infernoble is still decent)
Idea for Twitter Thread: All the FTKs that ever existed. From Firewall Loops to those Chain Switch Equip combos.
Gotta be LOB. Think of it like rock n roll thanking blues for its existence.
Okay old man
@cliffkrahenbill5971 what do you think this game grew out of? LOB is the definitive yugioh footnote.
Shout out to Amazing defenders. Every single cover archetype saw conpetitive results at some point. They were part of a movement to keep the game away from just combo. And i think you could just have a decent time playing with the archetypes as they were in their first wave, at least at local/regional level
I have Tag Force Special for when I need a yugioh fix and no wifi. The card pool stops AT Duelist Alliance. The most frustrating thing is trying to find strategies or cards for old strategies and realizing it comes out after Duelist Alliance. Every deck feels incomplete because of it.
No meme for LOB, LOD or IOC?
First set, last set with Magic cards and of course the set that fundamentally broke the game by helping create the ban list. Yes none of them were the best sets, but all three of them did have fundamental changes to the game.
LOB would actually be the technically most correct answer. It definitely changed the game from not existing to existing.
@vxicepickxv unless you want to go with volume one in the OCG since it really was the first set ever. Although honestly, my personal pick goes to Dark Beginnings 1 and 2. The reprints were just that important to the survival of the game. Also for the fact that they didn't change any Rarities or take cards out of the sets like players were thinking they would.
Definitely legendary duelists: duels from the deep. Absolute banger set
Not sure if I'd called it one of the greatest, but Starstrike Blast deserves at least an honourable mention; a good number of cards that are either banned or see play to this day (GUB, Formula Synchron, Vanity's Emptiness, DDG, Heat Wave, Burei...).
For me it was gladiators assault. That pack literally created the entire way yugioh is played now. Without gladiators assault yugioh with archetypes wouldn’t exist.
The duels that were most fun were when my buddy and I would grab a random stack from a tin and play with like 20,000 life points
The Shining Darkness is DEFINITELY top 3 most impactful sets-it’s the first set after Edison format FOR A REASON
Phantom Darkness is what I call the "emo teenage" phase of yugioh with light of destruction being the "oh never mind, they're just gay" phase.
I'm surprised there was no LOB meme, but no Maximum Crisis is crazy. Ash Blossom alone would qualify, but then it came alongside Masterpeace too
I will argue that the 2014 and 2015 Mega Tins aré up there, first and foremost the 2014 Mega Tin created the formato that we aré used to know of reprinting recent sets Also those had reprints of 101 Silent Honor Ark and Exciton Knight which were the most expensive extra deck Staples at the time
For the 2015 Mega Tin i would argue that Is the one that made people remember DUEA format that well, It has reprints of all of the top decks so It made that most people could enjoy the meta without braking bank, also It had Norden as a promo which we know that every single deck that could ran It did It, the only one that didnt was Qliphort.
Hard to argue with Duelist Alliance being the greatest pack, but I do think it's also the sign of how powercrept the game was about to become and for that reason I have a lot of resentment towards it
Surprised I didn't see maximum crisis, it had true draco, the meme supreme phantasm spiral, and last but definitely not least, Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring
Putting this here to get it out of the way,Legend of Blue-eyes White dragon for bringing Yugioh to the west
"terrible ass earth machines to this day"
Me, a terrible ass earth machine player: ;-;
Honestly forgot croc which opened more of the toolbox aspect for extra decks with black rose
Phantom Darkness, Invasion of Chaos, and Duelist Alliance are leagues above the rest.
for me its code of the duelist but also will say yes i am biased because TRICKSTARS and got my first two nawcq invites for me with said deck and had a lot of success with the deck so yes i will be biased but at the same time it has a special place in my heart as well
LEDE, it gave us Melodious support
I mean there's only one correct answer: Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. The set that gave us the game.
Knightmares arent a set. You know the replies are braindead when MBT has to feature archetypes.
6:37 Finally a pack I can agree on! (Because it's me :3)
Shocked noone said Max Crisis.
1st printing of ash blossom as well as Diagram.
Recency bias would dictate Infinite Forbidden. Introduction of the Mulcharmy archetype, Fiendsmith, even the reimagining of Exodia. Rarity Collection 1 was also pretty huge, but I do love FLOD
We didn’t get Mataza the Zapper nor did we get Plasma with alternative art work!
I’d say they missed a couple cards in these sets.
IOC was legitness😎
Hey I don’t know if you check these comments for thread ideas but what about a thread about what archetypes would be played by a new YGO anime cast? For example, Flamberge Dragon has the rival statline of 3000/2500, maybe a rival playing Snake-Eyes could be funny
No mention of Gladiator's Assault, literally the introduction of competitive archetypes?
1:53 I would argue the same of Duelist Alliance as well. Literally invalidated nearly everything that came before and strong-armed people into the new stuff.
Duelist alliance was my first pack
I'll never forget getting my first booster pack. Metal raiders. Had a Fake trap. I stuck to trading after that xD
Thank god agov and dune were mentioned. Banger sets
Surprised no one mentioned Starstrike Blast
Rarity Collection 3 making your GOAT Format Dimension Fusion deck more affordable for no longer having to pay $60 for 3 copies 😎
I’m surprised no one mentioned maximum crisis
Duelist Alliance did make all those changes, and personally not one of them was for the better. Pre-Duelist-Alliance is a superior game. I'm tired of people saying otherwise.
meh meh meh meh meh blah blah blah wawawawa meh meh mehhhhh wa wa wa blah - you
I haven’t seen a single of pack of AGOV anywhere in at least 6 months
I am surprised no one mentioned lob
No one mentioning Legends of Blue Eyes hurts. Without it yugioh wouldnt exist. It was an imbalanced mix of Weird shit but it layed the foundation for everything that followed. Its success is the Reason the Cardgame continued.
People forgot quick how bosh changed the game instantly.
No secrets of eternity?
dont they know it was released in January 2015?
Agreed on Duelist Alliance
Duelist alliance is when i started playing so therefore the best pack
Zeus was also in Phantom rage lmao
@direygo you didn’t include Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy in the vid even though it was in the thread are you fr
Duelist Revolution not even mentioned? Pot of Duality, Solemn Warning and Effect Veiler were played in everything when it came out.
They might not be the best but it has to be one of the early Link Era sets, I love being a hater and seeing people praise the Link mechanic due to them hating Pendulum and the opposite for Pendulum players only to see Konami make the game worst each set was hilariius for me
