Berserker Soul was actually something I sided in Superheavy Samurai decks for some cheesy wins. It's not really that great overall but it's *really* funny to get a win with that.
Looks like you're out of luck. Attack again! I draw again! Another Monster! Go, Breaker! Attack him directly! This just isn't your day! You'll pay dearly... Breaker! Attack him again! Let's see! Oh well...
I feel like if you follow through with the full burn effect this way, you are legally required to yell the entire quote from the anime from start to finish.
The history of Rope of Life might have been a bit different from what the video theorizes. Rope of Life debuted in the original manga as one of Marik's cards, without the cost of the entire hand. Rather, it was Makyura the Destructor that had the cost, and Rope of Life was comboed with it. Then, Makyura got into the OCG with the cost removed, which was why when Rope of Life entered the OCG some time later, it got the cost instead so that the combo could play out in the anime (which tend to be more faithful to the OCG) like in the manga.
I had a duel in master duel where a dude used a card that banished his whole hand, on turn 2, to bring out blue eyes. I mirror foced him, and legit he sat there for a few seconds before surrendering. Idk, the topic reminded me of this.
Decisive Armor was actually used a lot as an anti-Lightsworn pick back in the day. Atleast in my area there was still some people mixing lightsworns with tele-DAD and such, so pulling this monster usually lead to an FTK.
Decisive Armor was only played for the Feather Duster effect. Cause peeps were still desperate for backrow removal back then. Once better cards came out as well as specific counters like Starlight Road came out. Was phased out immediately. Final effect is a gimmick
Decisive Armor sounds like one of those side deck cards that could be game-winning if used turn 1 against the right deck. GY is a second hand, but how many decks actually want their entire hand discarded? Still depends on there being a strong Light deck in the meta and your deck being okay with losing its whole hand, but that doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility. Some decks use a lot of their hand turn 1 anyways.
Single Purchase could be useful in decks that want to banish their own cards in order to empower their main beater, like Maju or Eater, but said decks already have better options.
8:00 I know this channel is for COMPETITIVE Yugioh but I will say the anime version of Berserker soul that Yami used against Weevil was one of the coolest and coldest finishers in original Yugioh. (I mean Yami kept going after Weevil already lost and basically just a corpse at that point)
There is something funny about how the anime version of Berserker Soul is way better, even tho they play in a version of the game with less starting lifepoints.
Spell Chronicle was one of Yubel's cards from the anime, and one of those anime-debut cards that should have stayed anime-only. Which is often the case with a lot of anime-debut cards.
In Yu-Gi-Oh there are already cards that can take advantage of the spell chronicle effect, but unfortunately they are still not good enough, but if Konami creates spells and traps with better effects when banned, then this card will become good
From having crappy option of Rocket Arrow Express into ultimate support/boss monster Juggernaut Liebe...Anna, Rata, and Trains deck surely having the good ending 😅
I hope you get to play some day! My favorite thing is to brew decks that are simple enough to teach new players, but don’t just get automatically stomped by everything else like a starter deck. It’s tough to learn, but so much fun to play against a knowledgeable opponent
Rocket Arrow Express sounds like a ridiculously overbalanced card: A massive beatstick with a lot of restrictions to prevent the player to abuse it, except said restrictions are so strict they even defeat the point of summoning it in the first place.

Rope of Life is another victim of power creep, because it was *everywhere* from what I saw back when it first came out. It was the better Call of the Haunted back when, y'know, the battle phase was a thing instead of just 'the phase where the guy who got to play the game wins'.
Decisive Armor is a great side deck option when you consider how many people run Blue-Eyes decks. And since the main deck Blue-Eyes cards are generally between 2500-3000, FTKing a Blue-Eyes player is a legitimate possibility
I use it in duel links sometimes specifically for that reason. I have won several times by using the effect of Decisive Armor and burning the opponent for 6000

@@Gebirges There are already a bunch of cards that can proc fro the deck or extra deck I believe. Plus this is a gamble card (coin/die/etc…) Having a card like this would attract attention on the competitive scene for a style of deck that competitive players would never usually bother with.
@@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire Name the cards that proc from the deck. Because you cannot just access your deck in the middle of the duel unless an effect is active.

You actually put an OPT on your card. Not bad, though I think it would be better if it's a normal trap. Here's a text fix too: If a card(s) you control would be destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or card effect), you can discard 1 card for each of those cards instead, then, if you discarded your entire hand, you can choose and activate one of the following effects: - Destroy monsters your opponent controls, up to the number of cards you discarded for this effect, then inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card destroyed. - Destroy spells/traps your opponent controls, up to the number of cards you discarded for this effect, then gain 300 life points for each card destroyed. You can only activate 1 "Retaliatory Salvo" per turn
List ideas: Top 10 cards that can't be negated/responded to Top 10 cards that could come off the banlist. Top 10 cards that see play outside of their archetype Top 10 cards that don't fit in their archetypes Top 10 extra deck monsters that require other extra deck monsters Top 10 splashable extra deck monsters for each type Top 10 worst mill cards Top 10 cards that show actual cards Top 10 stall cards. Top 10 generic pendulum cards. Top 10 special conditions in the games. More Rescue Rabbit, please.
Already got one for cards that see play outside their archetype. Apparently Elemental Hero Prisma is a gigachad in dark magician decks if you're looking for Eye of Timaeus. Even without Eye of Timaeus, you can freely send copies of dark magician to the graveyard as long as you have fusions for it.
an idea for a future video could be the top 10 cards that would be broken in today's meta that had an errata to their effect. The criteria for the listing would be monster cards, spell cards and trap cards can be listed plus they would have had to spend some time on the forbidden and/or limited list in some way and of course had an errata to their effects.
Oh hey, Single Purchase! I recognize that card cuz it's the one that Yugipedia keeps recommending to use in every strategy to search things, just like Dogu!
A fine list as always, but i REALLY expected one card in it and you missed it, look up infernal incinerator, it was used in the yu gi oh gx anime by chazz, and although the list is actually really good, i would have put infernal incinerator in the place of diceclops, because of all the cards that you put in the list, it is the only one that does not "require" the discard or send of your whole hand to the GY. Still, great list, keep up the good work.
Would Rocket Arrow Express be okay if the opponent activated skill drain? Since it’s effects would be negated on the field, that would be the only time it would be worth playing, but it’s a big if.
Lets assume the opponent did have skill drain out and you played this. They would do what ever it took to destroy their own skill drain then rob your attack points
Ngl, I was actually surprised to see Infernity Sage even appear on this list even at the 10th spot because of how useful it is in the archetype, even if the effect to Discard your hand is the entire effect and offers no benefits, in Infernity it's a good effect in of itself and definitely increases the consistency of the deck as it drastically reduces the likelihood of bricking even if you play just one copy (I personally prefer to have 2 copies of it simply because I really like having it available and I am done having hands with all good monsters but no way to get rid of my hand and hard bricking). In context, it's a really good card (please, I want Archfiend back to 3, I really don't think Infernity is going to be a metagame breaker even with that in the current environment, heck, even if you put both Archfiend and Launcher at 3 I don't think it would be the worst thing in the meta, though I myself admit it probably isn't a very bright idea)
5:43 Retrain idea #4 _Single Bargain_ Quick-Play Spell _If you have 3 or more cards in your hand (other than this card): Banish your entire hand face-up; add 1 card from your Deck to your hand.

Spell/Trap: You cannot activate Spell/Trap cards or effects for the rest of this turn, Except cards with that name.
Ally of justice decisive armour is an easy game win if you opponent is playing a light deck. Also consider i was one of the earliest synchro monsters. Making it have alot less competition when it fist came out. Its dated now but it was a good synchro option in early yugioh synchro era. Especially since it was one the highest level synchros at the time, with 3300 attack and defense.
I can see full salvo being useful for cards that enjoy being discarded from card effects (cough tear cough cough), like infernity or fabled, but then again, it’s a trap card and most archetypes like that don’t burn anyways.
As soon as I saw this pop up in my notifications, before i watched it I started thinking “what’s a card that makes you discard your hand just really isn’t very good?” And immediately the first thing I thought of was Rocket Arrow Express…I wasn’t disappointed.
Fun fact infernity sage actually slots into dark world decks incredibly well as the discard effect is an effect not a cost. It also combos insanely well with baronne de fluer so you can cycle fleur's negate effect back online. Sage might only discard but for the new dw engine that's all it needs to do. The added synergy of it being fiend also means when you're done with recycling baronne you can banish it for gates.
Berserker Soul was commonly used in Superheavy Samurai for a while. The deck thrives on a lack of other card types, and can consistently satisfy the requirements for Berserker Soul to be live. It even has multiple means of achieving near exact 1500 direct damage with Stealth Ninja, and is capable of extending that 4000 LP ceiling to 6800 by equipping Soulhorns. SHS is by no means a good deck, and being Monster Effect heavy is even more a detriment nowadays, but it's very fun to resolve while not being the deck's only wincon
"SHS is by no means a good deck" Looks like someone hasn't seen the new support. It makes the pure deck a lot stronger while also turning it into a generic engine for a lot of other decks, like Adamancipator.
Hi I haven't played in a while but I still like to catch up on more info. I have a question about the top spot Rocket Arrow Express, would the card : A Wild Monster Appears! work on that card ? Like you can summon it while you control any cards so you just summon it on your field with something that either negate it's effect or silence it. (Now that I think about it it is getting such a unique scenario that it would be too hard to pull off lmao)
The only time I've positive success with Rocket Arrow Express is when i used it in Duel Links with Anna, Immediately sunmoned Night Express Knight after that, and folded both into Gustav.
Spell Chronicle is actually godlike in Metaphys. In Master Duel, A single lvl 4 monster on the field and an activatable Spell Chronicle can leave you with a potential turn 1 end board with all of the following: - Baronne de Fleur - Geomathmech Final Sigma - Chaos Ruler - Clear Wing Synchro Dragon - potentially one of your continuous spell/traps such as Metaphys Dimension - banish zone set up with a couple Metaphys monsters - possible Necroface activations if you get lucky with Chaos Ruler You basically do your play as normal, activate Spell Chronicle and banish all of the different Swordsoul traps, Metaphys Ascension, Swordsoul Emergence. The traps will give you up to 3 lvl4 tuner tokens when banished. Use those to go into mad Synchro summons. Can even out a tough boss monster with Metaphys Horus. All this and you usually end with at least 2 cards in hand due to Chaos Ruler and Ascension.
I remember that train being strong in the anime and op in school Yu GI oh. Most of my classmates had base utopia as their boss monster and maybe blue eyes, most couldn't even get over a 5000 body
I wonder if Superheavy Samurais would get some mileage out of Berserker Soul... the ones that don't have the "no spell/traps in the GY" restriction, mind you
Honorable mention...infernal incinerator. 2000+ atk tribute plus discard hand for a 2800 beat stick that gains 200 atk for each opponent monster and -500 atk for other monsters you control. Least most of the cards on the list could use its skill immediately, but that thing was a brick unless you go at least -2 and your hand.
Decisive Armor was one of the three synchros that you got from the blank card in Over the Nexus before taking on the Yliaster in the WRGP. The other two being Trishula and Trident Dragun. I have absolutely no idea what they were thinking, especially since none of the Meklord cards they used were LIGHT, so it was just a random beatstick synchro monster for taking on an anti-synchro team. The other two were leagues better, but honestly…you can just cheese all of the WRGP duels using an Exodia deck since your hand remains the same as the teams swap out duelists. That means that you basically win the whole thing and just need to go through the cutscenes. I honestly pray for Over the Nexus to get remade since it is my favorite YGO game of all time and I hope that they have the common sense to make the blank cards better. Trishula is literally the only one you’ll be running if you didn’t already own it and don’t plan to run Exodia or a Fusion deck.
It was because the concept of the "blank card turns into your new boss monster" thing that 5D's did in the anime. They obviously wanted to replicate the idea of Shooting Star Dragon (Accel Synchro) and Red Nova Dragon (Double Tuning) by making your new monster have some special requirements for its Synchro Summon and so they just picked a few high level monsters with non-generic summoning conditions.
technically final destiny discard your entire hand if you go 2nd (this to activate and 5 for cost) to have dark hole and heavy storm on a single spell, but i'm not sure if it counts here.
Phantasmal Martyrs is intended to be used to get you tribute material for Raviel... But requires you to send your entire hand to the GY. And it summons 0 ATK tokens in ATK position even though most token generators don't do that. And it requires having Hamon or Uria on board first, so before you even get the chance to lose your entire hand you need to send 3 continuous Spells or Traps to the GY. "oh but you can make blue card" just run scapegoat
Fun fact on single purchase the best target is morphing jar when playing empty jar granted now a days with ash and imperm not so much but jar played almost 30 spells and 6 cards that could flip the jar only reason. It didn't take off in peak jar format iirc is because the deck took a hit from the 2013 banlist that split the format
I had 2 video ideas for a short while now. I don't know if there are enough cards for each topic, but I shall post them anyway. 1. Cards that rewrite card effects (not copying, like for instance Phantom of Chaos, but rather Malefic Territory). 2. Cards that directly lower the viability of their own archetype, like Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, or a card that's supposed to support other cards, like Helios, the Primordial Sun does with Macro Cosmos, but it only renders Macro Cosmos to be negated by Solemn Warning, even without Helios in your deck.
Single Purchase with Cyber Dragon cards would call on the original name since they only change their name once on the field on in the GY. Still doesn't work for them because the most you'll get out of it is an additional material for a fusion, but still can't summon the fusion monster.
I used to use Spell Chronicle in my Witchcrafter/Tearlament builds since it'd make milling non-Witchcrafter cards and copies of Patronus a bit more consistent. Greatly reduced the chances of those wet fart mills.
Seems like a bit of a pattern that a lot of the higher spots in a lot of "worst x things in yugioh" usually have gamble cards as some of the top bosses there.
i mean i wouldnt say its remotely consistent because, as you say, you can only play 1 copy, but superheavy samurai, being the ultimate monster mash deck, can play berserker soul. they even have a low attack synchro that can attack directly to trigger the requirement too
just a quick question, does the discard in infernity sage a cost or an actual discard effect? If it is an actual discard effect then it would probably be a fun gimmick in dark world decks
It's an effect and does work in Dark World. Combined Dark Worlds ease of summoning lv8 monsters courtesy of Grapha and the new Reign Beaux and it can also be used to easily go into Baronne de Fleur (and Borreload Savage Dragon if you use Lucent).
0:17 Retrain idea #1 _Arch-Infernity Sage_ (DARK) Level 2 Fiend/Tuner/Effect _(Quick Effect): While this card is in your hand or on your field, You can discard your entire hand, and if you do you can activate 1 of the following effects:_ ⚪️Special Summon 1 “Infernity” monster from your deck who’s level is equal to or lower then the number of cards discarded. ⚪️Set 1 “Infernity” spell/trap card from your deck. ⚪️Increase either your LP OR the ATK/DEF of 1 “Infernity” monster you control by 250 for each card discarded. _If this card is sent to the GY: You can send 1 "Infernity" monster from your Deck to the GY. You must have no cards in your hand to activate and to resolve this effect. You can only use each effect of "Infernity Sage" once per turn._ ATK/400 DEF/800
@@lordofcrows Well on a quick effect I figured the third effect would be a nice cherry on top if you were going to use this card to chuck your entire hand anyway. Like with a hand of 6 that would be enough for either 1500 ATK/DEF or LP, which might be enough to win you the game by battle damage or save your hide by blunting any oncoming damage to you. Plus it gives you an option in case floodgates and/or negates are in place to complicate the first 2 effects. It may not be _strong_ per say, but it’s plenty on a level 2 utility-focused monster.
I tried to use full Salvo in a floowandereeze deck before. Since the banished cards constantly add themselves back to your hand once you have a whole bunch of cards and have knocked your opponents life points down a bit you can full Salvo for game lol. Super gimmicky but it was funny when it worked
I still think that rocket is a little bit better than full salvo because of it's possibility that was mentioned. I mean, at least if resolved (rocket arrow to normal summon night express knight to dora), it is still a formidable play. Of course, there are more superior alternatives, but at least it has extension potential. And the maintenance cost does not take place directly so, that's that. It will be dead hand past turn 1 tho. While full salvo has very low potential to close out the game in a really unlikely scenario. Well, yeah
Anyways for full salvo? I was thinking a better version of it? U can chose to discard as many as possible and inflict 800 points of damage per card being discarded and as a spell card
Rocket Arrow Express can be comboed with Amano-Iwato for some suprising lock-down combo. Rocket Arrow Express prevents Amano-Iwato from returning to your hand during the End Phase, so it can stay on the field for your opponent's turn. And, unless I'm mistaken, Amato-Iwato negates Rocket Arrow Express' demerit effect!
Yes you are correct. Amano will stay and it is nice combo overall. However, you will still have to pay the cost to discard entire hand, because maintenance cost is not an effect, thus does not activate and cannot be negated either.
They may as well change the text on Rocket Arrow Express to "Special Summon this card, then pray it sticks around until your next turn because it's all you have now".
Perhaps I'm crazy, but Decisive Armor seems like a potentially good monster to go into if your deck is fairly graveyard focused and lacks a good way to deal with Nibiru, seeing as that's light attribute and would deal 3000 damage to your opponent. At least, in theory. I'm not sure which deck can afford to go into Decisive like that.
What if full salvo were changed to a continuous trap, where it essentially discards your hand to "prime" it, and then deals that amount of damage each turn it's on the field? It'd still probably be worse than just using the other cards in your hand, but it'd still be a way to put the opponent on a timer if they don't remove it.
Rope of life is good in Tag Force with Cat's Ear Tribe because the A.I does not know how the effect of Cat's Ear Tribe works so it just crashes it's monsters into it.
I remember summoning decisive armor using a scrap deck in duel links. I used the last effect on my opponent as he was using blue eyes. It was satisfying but he quits right before resolving😂
Upkeep and Summoning Sickness cannot be avoided by all means. The sickness is applied as soon as you conduct the summon, it's not an effect. The upkeep is not an effect either, you will either pay or destroy, even while negated or prevented from activating monster effect.
There is one thing u can do with rocket arrow express I think you're forgetting. For what it's worth u can great maju garzett it for a big beater two card combo lol...
Wow, just realized that Rocket Arrow Express is like The Tyrant Neptune in a way. Just like Neptune, it earns top spots on several of your lists. But unlike Neptune, it only appears on "worst of" lists, like the worst maintanance costs and this video.
13:07 Retrain idea #8 _Diceclops The Destroyer_ Level 4 Machine/Effect _(Quick effect) Once per turn, If either player would roll a Die for a card or effect: You can special summon this card from your hand or deck. Once per turn: You can roll a six-sided die; Apply the result, then increase this cards ATK by 200X the result._ ●1: Look at your opponent's hand, also discard 1 card from their hand. ●2, 3, 4, 5: Discard 1 card, then increase this cards ATK by 200. ●6: Discard your entire hand, then increase this cards ATK by 200X the number of cards discarded. ATK/1800 DEF/200 With THIS, Diceclops can cheat itself put rather easily, meanwhile what would normally be purely negative effects now have the chance to stack into a hefty ATK boost. So I roll the 1 and get to toss a card from my opponents hand… Neat, now it brings me up to 2000 ATK on top of that… _OR_ I flub the roll and toss my entire hand of 6… Bad, but NOW not only do I get 1200 ATK from the Die result, BUT another 1200 from the 6 discards, so I NOW at least can compensate with a 4200 ATK monster masher I didn’t have to do much to get out in the first place.
no need to give it an effect that summons it from the deck, as logs said, that's a pretty broken effect. Also, to compress the effect, maybe word the effect like this? Once per turn: You can roll a six-sided die: this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the number rolled x 200, also apply the following effects based on the result: 1 - Look at your opponent's hand, then discard 1 random card from their hand 2, 3, 4 or 5 - Discard 1 card from your hand 6 - Discard your entire hand.
@@leojamesquiambao1047 Well the idea is it puts your opponent in a catch 22: If they roll the 1, they loose the card in their hand but Diceclops only gets a meager boost, but the worse they roll after that, the more efficient the ATK gain becomes. And obviously loosing your entire hand by your own random effect can set you back pretty severely, but at least HERE it means every lost card boosts Diceclops further as recompense.
@@leojamesquiambao1047 As for the summon from deck, I figured that if nobody really plays dice/coin decks competitively, then what harm would it be if this card had a summon tied to it. Same thing with The Traveling Gambler.
Kinda wish Phantom Hand was an honorable mention. Doesn't dump your hand to the grave, or require the hand dump per se, it reads "Once per turn, if you control a face-up "Infernity" monster(s), banish your whole hand face-down until your next standby phase."
I kinda wonder how Rocket Arrow Express would work with Tearlaments, since discarding your hand would send Tears to the GY, thus activating their effects and allowing you to Fusion out Kitkallos, Rulkallos, and Kaleido-Heart, who could then generate advantage despite RAE's maintainence. I mean it obviously wouldn't be worth it for any competitive strategy but it might be a fun gimmick. If only we knew a certain spider v-tuber who loves playing gimmick decks in master duel.
Rocket Arrow Express has the line of text on it that reads "You cannot activate cards or effects, or set any cards". You cannot do anything while it is face up on the field, unless its effect is negated. You can't even negate it yourself unless you're sitting under your own skill drain and you can't even do that because you're also forced to control no cards in order to summon it in the first place. Unfortunately, the card is pretty much unusable.
if Rocket Arrow Express had a mandatory maintenance cost instead of an optional one, it would be a great card to Creature Swap to your opponent. Possibly the BEST card. But that's about the best thing I can think to do with this card. Other than to Tribute Summon Great Maju Garzett with it.
Spell Chronicle's whole thing iirc is to complete the wedding iconography of Yubel and Jaden's duel in season 3, itvwas the Scroll then Glow Up bulb was the roses etc etc.
@@simonediliberto4314 no there was a flower thing that Yubel used, I don't remember the name but it worked by reviving itself. Iirc it was banned because it was free material but I don't remember its name
I learned the hard way that maintenance costs cannot be negated once by trying to bypass Rocket Arrow Express's effects with Double Headed Anger Knuckle. Worst mistake I ever made playing Master Duel
Yeah, infernity sage works with dark world cards... It's an effect, not a cost. Not sure wtf the other person is on about. Also gambler of legend would work, but that's luck based. Same for Diceclops. And Rocket Arrow express would work but it's just bad.
For gambler card? Was thinking either a one coin toss heads destroy one card. If two head coins destroy all monsters or three heads take control one of their monsters
Decisive armour was not a bad card for all of its lifetime. It sees play in tengu plant format as an auto win option against agents which are a very popular deck

How did Anna Kaboom get Rocket Arrow Express to work in the anime? I need to rewatch that episode....
The history of Rope of Life might have been a bit different from what the video theorizes. Rope of Life debuted in the original manga as one of Marik's cards, without the cost of the entire hand. Rather, it was Makyura the Destructor that had the cost, and Rope of Life was comboed with it.

Decisive Armor was actually used a lot as an anti-Lightsworn pick back in the day. Atleast in my area there was still some people mixing lightsworns with tele-DAD and such, so pulling this monster usually lead to an FTK.
Decisive Armor was only played for the Feather Duster effect. Cause peeps were still desperate for backrow removal back then.
Once better cards came out as well as specific counters like Starlight Road came out. Was phased out immediately. Final effect is a gimmick
Decisive armor was good when Blue eyes was meta.
Surprisingly, dealing the nuclear bombing damage was FTK.
@@warcriminalyes
I've seen that happen when spectating. I was not expecting to see that.
Decisive Armor sounds like one of those side deck cards that could be game-winning if used turn 1 against the right deck. GY is a second hand, but how many decks actually want their entire hand discarded? Still depends on there being a strong Light deck in the meta and your deck being okay with losing its whole hand, but that doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility. Some decks use a lot of their hand turn 1 anyways.
@aidanyoung9133 considering how popular blue eyes is in duel links, the moment you see Kaiba, you can freely go into Decisive armor and OTK them.
Single Purchase could be useful in decks that want to banish their own cards in order to empower their main beater, like Maju or Eater, but said decks already have better options.
There's also the issue that those decks don't run enough spells to consistently have no monsters in hand
I'd use single purchase to bring elemental hero bubbleman to my hand and then summon him to draw 2 cards. I wish they didnt nerf anime bubbleman.
8:00 I know this channel is for COMPETITIVE Yugioh but I will say the anime version of Berserker soul that Yami used against Weevil was one of the coolest and coldest finishers in original Yugioh. (I mean Yami kept going after Weevil already lost and basically just a corpse at that point)
DORO! MONSTA CARDO!!!
There is something funny about how the anime version of Berserker Soul is way better, even tho they play in a version of the game with less starting lifepoints.
Spell Chronicle was one of Yubel's cards from the anime, and one of those anime-debut cards that should have stayed anime-only. Which is often the case with a lot of anime-debut cards.
Yubels version also let you choose monsters which would have made Spell Chronicle useful at least with cards like the Thunder Dragon's or Giant Rex
In Yu-Gi-Oh there are already cards that can take advantage of the spell chronicle effect, but unfortunately they are still not good enough, but if Konami creates spells and traps with better effects when banned, then this card will become good

I hope you get to play some day! My favorite thing is to brew decks that are simple enough to teach new players, but don’t just get automatically stomped by everything else like a starter deck. It’s tough to learn, but so much fun to play against a knowledgeable opponent

Here's an idea for a series
Fixing Bad Cards
Cards that made it onto your Worst Lists get the same treatment as your Forbidden Cards videos.
Rocket Arrow Express sounds like a ridiculously overbalanced card: A massive beatstick with a lot of restrictions to prevent the player to abuse it, except said restrictions are so strict they even defeat the point of summoning it in the first place.
Imagine how good Decisive Armor could've been if it had Non-Dark instead of Light (like Catastor) for the burn effect

Literally Painful Choice for banish decks
It would have to
Negate the effects of the cards while banished

I'd recommend adding restrictions to the card. Like what it can banish, and maybe negate the effects of the cards banished.
Rope of Life is another victim of power creep, because it was *everywhere* from what I saw back when it first came out. It was the better Call of the Haunted back when, y'know, the battle phase was a thing instead of just 'the phase where the guy who got to play the game wins'.
Decisive Armor is a great side deck option when you consider how many people run Blue-Eyes decks. And since the main deck Blue-Eyes cards are generally between 2500-3000, FTKing a Blue-Eyes player is a legitimate possibility
I use it in duel links sometimes specifically for that reason. I have won several times by using the effect of Decisive Armor and burning the opponent for 6000

A fine list as always, but i REALLY expected one card in it and you missed it, look up infernal incinerator, it was used in the yu gi oh gx anime by chazz, and although the list is actually really good, i would have put infernal incinerator in the place of diceclops, because of all the cards that you put in the list, it is the only one that does not "require" the discard or send of your whole hand to the GY. Still, great list, keep up the good work.
Would Rocket Arrow Express be okay if the opponent activated skill drain? Since it’s effects would be negated on the field, that would be the only time it would be worth playing, but it’s a big if.
Lets assume the opponent did have skill drain out and you played this. They would do what ever it took to destroy their own skill drain then rob your attack points
Ngl, I was actually surprised to see Infernity Sage even appear on this list even at the 10th spot because of how useful it is in the archetype, even if the effect to Discard your hand is the entire effect and offers no benefits, in Infernity it's a good effect in of itself and definitely increases the consistency of the deck as it drastically reduces the likelihood of bricking even if you play just one copy (I personally prefer to have 2 copies of it simply because I really like having it available and I am done having hands with all good monsters but no way to get rid of my hand and hard bricking).
In context, it's a really good card (please, I want Archfiend back to 3, I really don't think Infernity is going to be a metagame breaker even with that in the current environment, heck, even if you put both Archfiend and Launcher at 3 I don't think it would be the worst thing in the meta, though I myself admit it probably isn't a very bright idea)

Ally of justice decisive armour is an easy game win if you opponent is playing a light deck. Also consider i was one of the earliest synchro monsters. Making it have alot less competition when it fist came out. Its dated now but it was a good synchro option in early yugioh synchro era. Especially since it was one the highest level synchros at the time, with 3300 attack and defense.
I can see full salvo being useful for cards that enjoy being discarded from card effects (cough tear cough cough), like infernity or fabled, but then again, it’s a trap card and most archetypes like that don’t burn anyways.
As soon as I saw this pop up in my notifications, before i watched it I started thinking “what’s a card that makes you discard your hand just really isn’t very good?” And immediately the first thing I thought of was Rocket Arrow Express…I wasn’t disappointed.
Top 10 cards that overwrite rules like double summon or anti spell fragance
Fun fact infernity sage actually slots into dark world decks incredibly well as the discard effect is an effect not a cost. It also combos insanely well with baronne de fluer so you can cycle fleur's negate effect back online.
Sage might only discard but for the new dw engine that's all it needs to do.
The added synergy of it being fiend also means when you're done with recycling baronne you can banish it for gates.
Berserker Soul was commonly used in Superheavy Samurai for a while. The deck thrives on a lack of other card types, and can consistently satisfy the requirements for Berserker Soul to be live. It even has multiple means of achieving near exact 1500 direct damage with Stealth Ninja, and is capable of extending that 4000 LP ceiling to 6800 by equipping Soulhorns. SHS is by no means a good deck, and being Monster Effect heavy is even more a detriment nowadays, but it's very fun to resolve while not being the deck's only wincon
"SHS is by no means a good deck"
Looks like someone hasn't seen the new support. It makes the pure deck a lot stronger while also turning it into a generic engine for a lot of other decks, like Adamancipator.
someone hasn't seen the new support yet, you're gonna be seeing a lot of shs at tournaments post cyac

Hi I haven't played in a while but I still like to catch up on more info. I have a question about the top spot Rocket Arrow Express, would the card : A Wild Monster Appears!
work on that card ? Like you can summon it while you control any cards so you just summon it on your field with something that either negate it's effect or silence it. (Now that I think about it it is getting such a unique scenario that it would be too hard to pull off lmao)
The only time I've positive success with Rocket Arrow Express is when i used it in Duel Links with Anna, Immediately sunmoned Night Express Knight after that, and folded both into Gustav.
There is a counter collector card, called Counter Cleaner, that can make Spell Chronicle completely resolve that turn.
Spell Chronicle is actually godlike in Metaphys.
In Master Duel, A single lvl 4 monster on the field and an activatable Spell Chronicle can leave you with a potential turn 1 end board with all of the following:
- Baronne de Fleur
- Geomathmech Final Sigma
- Chaos Ruler
- Clear Wing Synchro Dragon
- potentially one of your continuous spell/traps such as Metaphys Dimension
- banish zone set up with a couple Metaphys monsters
- possible Necroface activations if you get lucky with Chaos Ruler
You basically do your play as normal, activate Spell Chronicle and banish all of the different Swordsoul traps, Metaphys Ascension, Swordsoul Emergence.
The traps will give you up to 3 lvl4 tuner tokens when banished. Use those to go into mad Synchro summons. Can even out a tough boss monster with Metaphys Horus.
All this and you usually end with at least 2 cards in hand due to Chaos Ruler and Ascension.
I remember that train being strong in the anime and op in school Yu GI oh. Most of my classmates had base utopia as their boss monster and maybe blue eyes, most couldn't even get over a 5000 body
I wonder if Superheavy Samurais would get some mileage out of Berserker Soul... the ones that don't have the "no spell/traps in the GY" restriction, mind you
Honorable mention...infernal incinerator. 2000+ atk tribute plus discard hand for a 2800 beat stick that gains 200 atk for each opponent monster and -500 atk for other monsters you control. Least most of the cards on the list could use its skill immediately, but that thing was a brick unless you go at least -2 and your hand.
Decisive Armor was one of the three synchros that you got from the blank card in Over the Nexus before taking on the Yliaster in the WRGP. The other two being Trishula and Trident Dragun. I have absolutely no idea what they were thinking, especially since none of the Meklord cards they used were LIGHT, so it was just a random beatstick synchro monster for taking on an anti-synchro team. The other two were leagues better, but honestly…you can just cheese all of the WRGP duels using an Exodia deck since your hand remains the same as the teams swap out duelists. That means that you basically win the whole thing and just need to go through the cutscenes.
I honestly pray for Over the Nexus to get remade since it is my favorite YGO game of all time and I hope that they have the common sense to make the blank cards better. Trishula is literally the only one you’ll be running if you didn’t already own it and don’t plan to run Exodia or a Fusion deck.
It was because the concept of the "blank card turns into your new boss monster" thing that 5D's did in the anime. They obviously wanted to replicate the idea of Shooting Star Dragon (Accel Synchro) and Red Nova Dragon (Double Tuning) by making your new monster have some special requirements for its Synchro Summon and so they just picked a few high level monsters with non-generic summoning conditions.
technically final destiny discard your entire hand if you go 2nd (this to activate and 5 for cost) to have dark hole and heavy storm on a single spell, but i'm not sure if it counts here.
Phantasmal Martyrs is intended to be used to get you tribute material for Raviel... But requires you to send your entire hand to the GY. And it summons 0 ATK tokens in ATK position even though most token generators don't do that. And it requires having Hamon or Uria on board first, so before you even get the chance to lose your entire hand you need to send 3 continuous Spells or Traps to the GY.
"oh but you can make blue card"
just run scapegoat
Fun fact on single purchase the best target is morphing jar when playing empty jar granted now a days with ash and imperm not so much but jar played almost 30 spells and 6 cards that could flip the jar only reason. It didn't take off in peak jar format iirc is because the deck took a hit from the 2013 banlist that split the format
I had 2 video ideas for a short while now. I don't know if there are enough cards for each topic, but I shall post them anyway.
1. Cards that rewrite card effects (not copying, like for instance Phantom of Chaos, but rather Malefic Territory).
2. Cards that directly lower the viability of their own archetype, like Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, or a card that's supposed to support other cards, like Helios, the Primordial Sun does with Macro Cosmos, but it only renders Macro Cosmos to be negated by Solemn Warning, even without Helios in your deck.
Single Purchase with Cyber Dragon cards would call on the original name since they only change their name once on the field on in the GY. Still doesn't work for them because the most you'll get out of it is an additional material for a fusion, but still can't summon the fusion monster.
Berserker Soul is used in a lot of Superheavy Samurai deck since the deck is only playing monster card.
I used to use Spell Chronicle in my Witchcrafter/Tearlament builds since it'd make milling non-Witchcrafter cards and copies of Patronus a bit more consistent. Greatly reduced the chances of those wet fart mills.
Seems like a bit of a pattern that a lot of the higher spots in a lot of "worst x things in yugioh" usually have gamble cards as some of the top bosses there.
i mean i wouldnt say its remotely consistent because, as you say, you can only play 1 copy, but superheavy samurai, being the ultimate monster mash deck, can play berserker soul. they even have a low attack synchro that can attack directly to trigger the requirement too
just a quick question, does the discard in infernity sage a cost or an actual discard effect? If it is an actual discard effect then it would probably be a fun gimmick in dark world decks
It's an effect and does work in Dark World.
Combined Dark Worlds ease of summoning lv8 monsters courtesy of Grapha and the new Reign Beaux and it can also be used to easily go into Baronne de Fleur (and Borreload Savage Dragon if you use Lucent).

You can cut the third effect, no one would ever use it outside of time. But besides that, not bad
Infernity Sage is literally necessary to set up silly boards simply due to its discard effect.
@@lordofcrows
Well on a quick effect I figured the third effect would be a nice cherry on top if you were going to use this card to chuck your entire hand anyway. Like with a hand of 6 that would be enough for either 1500 ATK/DEF or LP, which might be enough to win you the game by battle damage or save your hide by blunting any oncoming damage to you. Plus it gives you an option in case floodgates and/or negates are in place to complicate the first 2 effects. It may not be _strong_ per say, but it’s plenty on a level 2 utility-focused monster.
I tried to use full Salvo in a floowandereeze deck before. Since the banished cards constantly add themselves back to your hand once you have a whole bunch of cards and have knocked your opponents life points down a bit you can full Salvo for game lol. Super gimmicky but it was funny when it worked
I still think that rocket is a little bit better than full salvo because of it's possibility that was mentioned. I mean, at least if resolved (rocket arrow to normal summon night express knight to dora), it is still a formidable play. Of course, there are more superior alternatives, but at least it has extension potential. And the maintenance cost does not take place directly so, that's that. It will be dead hand past turn 1 tho. While full salvo has very low potential to close out the game in a really unlikely scenario. Well, yeah
Anyways for full salvo? I was thinking a better version of it? U can chose to discard as many as possible and inflict 800 points of damage per card being discarded and as a spell card
I'm commenting for the D&D channel. Mr.Logs can you do a video for Fighting Style
Rocket Arrow Express can be comboed with Amano-Iwato for some suprising lock-down combo. Rocket Arrow Express prevents Amano-Iwato from returning to your hand during the End Phase, so it can stay on the field for your opponent's turn. And, unless I'm mistaken, Amato-Iwato negates Rocket Arrow Express' demerit effect!
Yes you are correct. Amano will stay and it is nice combo overall.
However, you will still have to pay the cost to discard entire hand, because maintenance cost is not an effect, thus does not activate and cannot be negated either.
Huh, I wonder now if Berserker Soul could get some resurgence with the new Volcanic Suport, a monster-heavy burn deck

They may as well change the text on Rocket Arrow Express to "Special Summon this card, then pray it sticks around until your next turn because it's all you have now".
Decisive armor was hilarious in duel links when Blue Eyes was meta there, catch them with it in their hand and its an easy 3k burn
Perhaps I'm crazy, but Decisive Armor seems like a potentially good monster to go into if your deck is fairly graveyard focused and lacks a good way to deal with Nibiru, seeing as that's light attribute and would deal 3000 damage to your opponent. At least, in theory. I'm not sure which deck can afford to go into Decisive like that.
The only major use for Rocket Arrow Express is sending it to the graveyard and using it with Berserker Crush on Kuriboh, making it a 5k beatstick
What if full salvo were changed to a continuous trap, where it essentially discards your hand to "prime" it, and then deals that amount of damage each turn it's on the field? It'd still probably be worse than just using the other cards in your hand, but it'd still be a way to put the opponent on a timer if they don't remove it.
have you heard of wave motion cannon ?
Rope of life is good in Tag Force with Cat's Ear Tribe because the A.I does not know how the effect of Cat's Ear Tribe works so it just crashes it's monsters into it.
Surprised he didn't at least mention the famous scene from the Anime where "Yami" pulled off Berserker Soul "Draw Monsto Cardo!"
I remember summoning decisive armor using a scrap deck in duel links. I used the last effect on my opponent as he was using blue eyes. It was satisfying but he quits right before resolving😂
Would full salvo comboed with taking the maxx c challenge work?
Call me stupid but could you bypass the upkeep and summoning sickness from Rocket Arrow Express if your opponent has skill drain active?
Upkeep and Summoning Sickness cannot be avoided by all means.
The sickness is applied as soon as you conduct the summon, it's not an effect.
The upkeep is not an effect either, you will either pay or destroy, even while negated or prevented from activating monster effect.
There is one thing u can do with rocket arrow express I think you're forgetting.
For what it's worth u can great maju garzett it for a big beater two card combo lol...

With THIS, Diceclops can cheat itself put rather easily, meanwhile what would normally be purely negative effects now have the chance to stack into a hefty ATK boost.
So I roll the 1 and get to toss a card from my opponents hand… Neat, now it brings me up to 2000 ATK on top of that…
_OR_ I flub the roll and toss my entire hand of 6… Bad, but NOW not only do I get 1200 ATK from the Die result, BUT another 1200 from the 6 discards, so I NOW at least can compensate with a 4200 ATK monster masher I didn’t have to do much to get out in the first place.
no need to give it an effect that summons it from the deck, as logs said, that's a pretty broken effect. Also, to compress the effect, maybe word the effect like this?
Once per turn: You can roll a six-sided die: this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the number rolled x 200, also apply the following effects based on the result:
1 - Look at your opponent's hand, then discard 1 random card from their hand
2, 3, 4 or 5 - Discard 1 card from your hand
6 - Discard your entire hand.
@@leojamesquiambao1047
Well the idea is it puts your opponent in a catch 22: If they roll the 1, they loose the card in their hand but Diceclops only gets a meager boost, but the worse they roll after that, the more efficient the ATK gain becomes. And obviously loosing your entire hand by your own random effect can set you back pretty severely, but at least HERE it means every lost card boosts Diceclops further as recompense.

I kinda wonder how Rocket Arrow Express would work with Tearlaments, since discarding your hand would send Tears to the GY, thus activating their effects and allowing you to Fusion out Kitkallos, Rulkallos, and Kaleido-Heart, who could then generate advantage despite RAE's maintainence.
I mean it obviously wouldn't be worth it for any competitive strategy but it might be a fun gimmick. If only we knew a certain spider v-tuber who loves playing gimmick decks in master duel.
Rocket Arrow Express has the line of text on it that reads "You cannot activate cards or effects, or set any cards". You cannot do anything while it is face up on the field, unless its effect is negated. You can't even negate it yourself unless you're sitting under your own skill drain and you can't even do that because you're also forced to control no cards in order to summon it in the first place. Unfortunately, the card is pretty much unusable.
@@Smudges00 oh lmao, I must've missed that. Damn that card really sucks huh
if Rocket Arrow Express had a mandatory maintenance cost instead of an optional one, it would be a great card to Creature Swap to your opponent. Possibly the BEST card. But that's about the best thing I can think to do with this card. Other than to Tribute Summon Great Maju Garzett with it.
Well that's a good idea, unfortunately, since you cannot activate anything, there's no way to give the Rocket Arrow to the opponent.
Hey would u do a top 10 of inherent summonable monsters
Give Rocket Arrow Express a try in Master Duel during the events. It’s not a game changer but it seems to through people off.
Suggestions Top 10 card that can't be negated but still can be respond
Spell Chronicle's whole thing iirc is to complete the wedding iconography of Yubel and Jaden's duel in season 3, itvwas the Scroll then Glow Up bulb was the roses etc etc.
Glow Up Bulb was made later (it was a card used by Aki/Akiza in 5ds) it has nothing to do with Yubel
@@simonediliberto4314 no there was a flower thing that Yubel used, I don't remember the name but it worked by reviving itself.
Iirc it was banned because it was free material but I don't remember its name
@@dearickangelonej.legaspi6686Samsara Lotus was that card's name still Grow Up Bulb exists and it's a different card
damn nice timing 46 seconds nice and early for once
I learned the hard way that maintenance costs cannot be negated once by trying to bypass Rocket Arrow Express's effects with Double Headed Anger Knuckle. Worst mistake I ever made playing Master Duel
No shot you through so much shade at a sealed showdown MVP
Quick question would any of these cards work with Dark World monsters?
Yeah, infernity sage works with dark world cards... It's an effect, not a cost. Not sure wtf the other person is on about. Also gambler of legend would work, but that's luck based. Same for Diceclops. And Rocket Arrow express would work but it's just bad.
For gambler card? Was thinking either a one coin toss heads destroy one card. If two head coins destroy all monsters or three heads take control one of their monsters
Decisive armour was not a bad card for all of its lifetime. It sees play in tengu plant format as an auto win option against agents which are a very popular deck
Retrain idea #5 7:59
_Berserker Mania_
Quick-Play Spell
_If a monster attacks and inflicts 1500 or less battle damage to either player: Shuffle your entire hand into your deck (min. 1); excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Monster Card, send it to your GY, and if you do that, that monster must attack again in a row, then repeat this effect until you excavate a non-Monster Card. If a non-Monster Card is excavated, place it on the top of your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Berserker Mania" per turn._
