We’ve all seen the famous Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the competitive Yu-Gi-Oh GX series, as well as the futuristic Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds series. Though all of these Yugioh sagas have great story- lines and feature amazing cards, I have to say the most entertaining and comedic Yugioh saga is Yu-gi-oh Abridged. Yu-gi-oh Abridged is a parody of the original Yugioh storyline. Each Yu-gi-oh Abridged episode is cut from 30 minutes, to about 7 minutes. Though it does have some dueling in the show, Yu-gi-oh Abridged consists mostly of clips where people talk about random things in funny accents. The hilarity of Yu-gi-oh Abridged isn’t something I can explain. You have to watch Yu-gi-oh Abridged fully understand it’s background:

February 4th, 2010Strongest Yugioh Monster Card
January 30th, 2010When I wrote this post last year, Yubel the Ultimate Nightmare was in my opinion, the strongest monster in Yugioh. I still think Yubel the Ultimate Nightmare is the strongest monster in Yugioh in terms of effect and efficiency, however, it isn’t the strongest in terms of stats. 0 attack and defense points? Those are the weakest stats a monster can have. So what monster is the best in terms of high attack, high defense, and has an adequate effect? What is the strongest Yugioh monster card? In some recent comments I have gotten, Armityle, the Chaos Phantom and Dragon Master Knight are supposedly the strongest Yugioh monster cards (with the criteria above). However, I don’t agree.
Though Armityle also has 0 attack and defense points, his effect gives him 10,000 extra attack points. A lot of people would say that’s amazing, but I concur. That effect only applies in the controller’s turn. Because that is his only effect, Armityle could be easily beaten in your foe’s turn, no doubt about it. If you want to go as far as to waste the three Yugioh Sacred Beasts in order to summon Armityle, you better have an arsenal of traps to protect him. Plus, just summoning Armityle is difficult. You have to get all three Sacred Beasts on your field, which is nearly impossible given the fact that each of their summoning requirements are so hard to fulfill.
Dragon Master Knight is a much better monster than Armityle, however, he has his down side as well. While DMK has better stats as well as a better effect, it is much harder to summon. Some of you are going, “What? DMK is way easier to play. Just use Dragon’s Mirror or Future Fusion!” I wish summoning Dragon Master Knight was that simple. DMK is a fusion of a fusion. To play him, you first have to get Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, then fuse Black Luster Soldier. One fusion might be easy to pull off, but your opponent will not let you fuse a monster again. So many things can go wrong when you play a double-fusion monster, especially with DMK. If your foe destroys one Blue Eyes White Dragon, summoning DMK is going to be a nightmare. If your foe destroys your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, it’s over. If you foe destroys Black Luster Soldier or even your Black Luster Ritual card, you can say goodbye to summoning DMK.
I think that Five Headed Dragon is the strongest Yugioh monster card statistically. It has 5000 attack and defense points, plus it has a decent effect. F.H.D cannot be destroyed in battle by any monster except a light attribute monster. If you have a Dragon deck and own the spell card, Dragon’s Mirror (a pretty easy to find card), F.H.D is very easy to summon. Easy to play, adequate effect, and phenomenal stats, Five Headed Dragon is one of best beat-down monsters in Yugioh.
New Yugioh Booster Pack: Absolute Powerforce
January 24th, 2010In a few weeks, the new Absolute Powerforce, Yugioh booster pack is being released. I think this booster pack will be even more spectacular then Stardust Overdrive because it marks the release of Majestic Red Dragon, Jack Atlas’ ace monster. Absolute Powerforce also features cards from Goodwin, Misty, Kiryu, as well as Carly. However, there two cards I am particularly excited about.
The Sun Dragon Inti and the Moonlight Dragon Quilla will be two awesome monsters to duel with. While they are some what difficult to summon, each one has an ability that resurrects one another from the graveyard. Their other effects are awesome too. When a monster destroys Sun Dragon Inti, the attacking monster will be destroyed and the controller loses half the monster’s attack points. That means your foe will lose at least 1500 life points. When Moonlight Dragon Quilla is attacked, you gain half the attacking monster’s attack points. That too, is at least 1500 life points. These two monsters could cause havoc on the field if they were played in the same duel.
The Absolute Powerforce is really just a continuation of Stardust Overdrive. It has similar card, similar season of Yugioh 5Ds, and there aren’t cards from new characters. However, there are some benefits of buying the Absolute Powerforce booster pack instead of Stardust Overdrive.
1. You can get Sun Dragon Inti, Moonlight Dragon Quilla, and the monsters required to play them are in the pack.
2. Majestic Red Dragon (which I think is superior to Majestic Star Dragon) is available.
3. New tuners and a new addition to Yussei’s junk fighters, Drill Warrior, is available.
So it really doesn’t matter what pack you buy. Either way you have chosen a great booster pack.
Yugioh Fusion Monsters and Synchro Monsters
January 17th, 2010Yugioh fusion monsters are one of the most important aspects of the game in “old school” dueling. You revolve your deck around cards that can easily summon fusion monsters, then crush your opponent. Though many fusion monsters are very effective and good to you use in a duel, their popularity is slowly getting eaten up by the new brand of Yugioh synchro monsters. Personally, I think both are equally effective in a duel, but there some things that fusion monsters lack and synchro monsters have.
First of all, most synchros are easier to play than fusions. Many fusions require a fusion spell/trap, such as Polymerization. Chances of drawing fusion material monsters are low and Polymerization can be easily countered with a spell or trap. The Neos fusions, one of the most popular types of fusion monsters in Yugioh, require an Elemental Hero Neos and one (sometimes even more) Neo-Spacians. They sometimes can be even harder to play due to the need of specific monsters. Plus acquiring all the fusion material monsters on the field is even more difficult.
Now synchros on the other hand, don’t need specific monsters. Once in a while, a synchro monster might need a specific tuner (Junk, Road, Nitro Warriors, etc…) but summoning tuners isn’t a daunting task. Summoning a synchro only requires you to have a tuner and a monster(s) whose combined levels equal the level of the synchro monster. Another reason synchro monsters surpass fusions is because of their ableness to be special summoned without a synchro summon. Pretty much every new or recent fusion has the ability,” This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon.” That makes it so much easier to play synchros who are in your graveyard.
It’s still a close battle. Yugioh fusions are as strong as Yugioh synchro monsters, but some of their limitations or restraints are really the only thing that can decide which Yugioh monster type is superior. I like synchro monsters, but if you guys think different, tell me why and what’s your favorite Yugioh fusion monster.
Yugioh Cards Blog’s Top 5 Posts
December 28th, 2009Because the year is coming to an end, I thought I’d list what I thought were my Yugioh blog’s top five posts of the year. These are based on views, amount of comments, and popularity on the internet.
In this post, I talk about Destiny Heroes/Top Destiny Heroes in Yugioh, and their style of play. Though this post never got any comments, I put it in on as number five because the term Yugioh Destiny Heroes are very popular on the internet. Also, Destiny Heroes has the third highest views out of all my posts, so I thought it deserved a spot on the list.
This post talks about a monster that was once banned, Jinzo, and a monster that is still banned, Tsukuyomi. I used these cards as examples, but the main point of this post was that some banned Yugioh cards should not be on that list because they (or their effects) aren’t very lethal. Though it isn’t viewed a lot, I put Banned Yugioh Cards as number four because it did get many responses. Plus, Banned Yugioh Cards is a very popular keyword on the internet.
3. Top Ten Strongest Monsters in Yugioh Pt. 1
As the name says, this post talks about four of the top ten monsters in Yugioh. Though this post didn’t have a lot of comments, the term Top Ten Monsters in Yugioh fairly popular on the internet and this is the highest viewed post in my whole site. In fact, more than a tenth of all of Yugioh Cards Blog’s page views comes from the Top Ten Monsters in Yugioh Pt. 1 post.
2. Yugioh 5Ds: Who Is the Fifth Signer?
I wrote this a long time ago when Crow hadn’t been reveled to be the official fifth signer. I wondered who the fifth signer was so I decided to write a post about it, asking the question to all my readers. I didn’t know back then that it would be one of my most popular posts with 48 comments. It also has a good amount of page views (2600). Also, back then, the whole signer topic was VERY popular.
1. #1 Monster In Yugioh - Yubel The Ultimate Nightmare
Not only does this post have 148 comments, it is one of the most viewed posts on my site. In this post, I talk about Yubel and its ups and downs. This is my favorite post because this is where my readers and I had all of our debates and shared opinions. I think theywould agree that is the best post in my Yugioh blog.
Once again guys, it really has been a great year. I hope you guys read these posts if you haven’t and reminisce about them if you have. Thank you again for reading my Yugioh blog and I hope next year will be an even better experience!
The 1st Birthday For My Yugioh Blog
December 26th, 2009Can you believe it? It has almost been one year since I wrote my first post in this Yugioh Cards Blog. Though there was a lot of controversy and arguing between my readers and I, it is because of them my blog has become a prominent site in the Yugioh world. This year, I had 70,000 views from around the world and my Google page rank rocketed from 0 to 2! Though my blog has been doing well, I want to further improve it; I want 100,000 views instead of 70,000! I want a four page rank instead of a two! So I need advice from the only people who know my blog better than myself, my readers.
- What things about my Yugioh blog did you guys like?
- What things about my Yugioh blog didn’t you like?
- What things should I continue in my blog?
- Should I have more/less contests?
I would love it if you guys would think about some these questions and answer them. It is through only your feedback that I can improve my Yugioh blog. After all, it is you guys I write for! Also, my next post will be a list of the best posts/moments of my Yugioh blog. So thanks for the great year guys! With your help, next year, my Yugioh blog will be even cooler!
The #1 Yugioh Elemental Hero
December 20th, 2009I don’t think I will have any objections in this choice, the number one Yugioh Elemental Hero is… Elemental Hero Divine Neos!
Sure, it might not be your best monster in terms of stats, but it has one of the, if not, the best effect out of all the Elemental Heroes! To play Divine Neos, you must fuse together at least one Neos monster, a Neo spacian, and an Elemental Hero, as well as two other monsters (can only be an Evil Hero, a Destiny Hero, a Elemental Hero, a Neo Spacian, or Elemental Hero Neos). Okay, okay, it sounds hard to play doesn’t it? However, summoning Elemental Hero Divine Neos is worth it.
While Divine Neos is on the field, you can remove from your graveyard one Evil, Destiny, Elemental Heroes, a Neos monster, or a Neo Spacian monster. Elemental Hero Divine Neos gains 500 attack AND that monsters ability. That is crazy. You can remove from play one of those awesomee monsters, and Divine Neos would be amazing! You could give Divine Neos Magma Neos’s effect and it would gain 400 attack points for every card one the field, or you could give Divine Neos Destiny Hero Dogma’s effect and half your opponent’s life points the next turn! Possibilities, possiblities! This is what makes Elemental Hero Divine Neos, hands down, the strongest Elemental Hero!
Yugioh Top 5 Elemental Heroes Part 2
December 13th, 2009I hope you guys liked part 1 of the Top Five Elemental Heroes! Here in part two, the Elemental Heroes listed will be a stronger than the previous two in terms of strength, efficiency, and abilities.
3. Elemental Hero Magma Neos
Magma Neos has some of the highest stats of all the Elemental Heroes as well two awesome effects (if used right). Those, plus its cool image, makes him one of the greatest Elemental Heroes in Yugioh. Elemental Hero Magma Neos gains 400 attack points for every card on the field. It could easily be the strongest monster on the field with that effect! Suppose you and your foe have a monster one the field, as well as two spells/traps each, then Magma Neos would have 6200 attack points! Like many Neos fusions, Magma Neos goes back to your Extra deck during the end phase. When it does this, you can return all cards on the field to their owner’s hand. That effect, however, could prove to be fatal to your opponent if activated right. You can activate Neos Space/Instant Neos Space and equip it to Magma Neos. Then, during your opponent’s turn you destroy your Neo Space/Instant Neos Space to have Magma Neos go back to your Extra deck. Everyone’s cards would go back to their hands and afterwards, during your turn, your foe would be wide open for a direct attack. Pretty sweet usage of a vice!
2. Elemental Hero Storm Neos
Elemental Hero Storm Neos probably tops the list of Elemental Heroes in terms of efficiency. It can destroy all spell and trap cards on the field! That seems you can completely destroy your opponents defenses and destroy them! This effect goes great with Yubel and Yubel the Ultimate Nightmare since their only weaknesses are spells and traps. When it goes back into your Extra deck, all cards on the field are returned to the owner’s deck. You can do the combo with Neo Space/Instant Neo Space (that I listed in Magma Neos’s ability) with this Elemental Hero Storm Neos as well. Wide open attacks, eradication of spells and traps? Elemental Hero Storm Neos could obliterate your opponent fast!
Well that wraps up part 2 of the Top 5 Elemental Heroes in Yugioh! Again, if you guys have any objections, send me your top 5 Elemental Heroes as a comment!
Yugioh Top 5 Elemental Heroes Part 1
December 6th, 2009Top Ten/Five lists are very fun to create. With the Yugioh warrior monster craze going on, I thought that I’d create a five list of my favorite warriors — the Elemental Heroes. There are many Elemental Heroes for duelists to collect, but which ones are the best? Which ones are strong, but easy to play? Which Elemental Heroes are the most effecient? Here is my answer to all these questions.
5. Elemental Hero Knopse
Yeah he’s a plant, but he is still an Elemental Hero. Sure he might not be the strongest Elemental Hero, but he sure is effecient, and his effect makes him even meaner ! As long as there is another Elemental Hero on the field, Knopse cannot be selected as an attack target and he can attack your foe directly! Not bad right? However, it also agains 100 atk points every time it inflicts battle damage! If you attack directly with Knopse four times, Knopse will have a decent 1000 atk and your opponent would have lost… 600+700+800+900… 3000 life points! An army (three) of this little guy would be even more dangerous!
4. Elemental Hero Plasma Vice
Youch! 2600 atk points? Dealing with Elemental Hero Plasma Vice would be tough for your opponent! If Elemental Plasma Vice battles a monster with a defense lower than his attack points, your foe loses life points equal to the difference. That could be pretty bad for your foe if Plasma Vice fights a low level monster! Also, by discarding a card from your hand, Elemental Hero Plasma Vice can destroy one monster on the field who is in attack position. F.H.G Dragon and D.M.K (they’re both definitely going to be in attack position, if not, use Block Defense) seem pretty easy to beat now don’t they? So to sum it up for people who are going “what?”, “why?”, Plasma Vice is on this list because he is:
- Much easier to play than other Elemental Hero fusion monsters such as the Neos fusions and Elemental Hero Tempest.
- Has the ability to change the course of the duel through his stats and effect (mostly).
- It’s pretty easy to acquire (pretty cheap too!).
That concludes part 1 of the Top 5 List of Elemental Heroes. If you anyone disagrees with my first two selections feel free to write what you would picked instead on the comment box.
The Winners of the Monster Card Competition
November 29th, 2009Ai, ai, ai, ai! Choosing the two winners for this competition was extremely difficult! There were a couple of people who entered, but I narrowed the finalists to three. Out of those three finalists, (Yugioh fan, morfowt, and Frank MTF) I looked every aspect of their creations and made my final decision.
First place of this monster card competition goes to… Frank! The runner-up… morfowt! Congratulations to you guys! I am sorry Yugioh fan, your grammar wasn’t very good and your images were the same for each card. However, I still congratulate you for being one of the three finalists. Frank’s monsters stuck out to me a lot and I really liked his images as well his effects. Morfowt, your cards were just as impressive for you and Frank were tied in almost all of the aspects of judging except, the imagery. Don’t get me wrong, I really liked your images, but Frank’s images were a bit cooler.
Frank wins the Blue Eyes W. Dragon, the Blue Eyes S. Dragon, and the secret rare, limited edition, Green Baboon Defender of the Forest. Morfowt, you still get a secret rare E-Hero Thunder Giant! Frank and morfowt, please send me your adresses to yugiohblogger@gmail.com so I can mail you your cards. Once again congratulations, and I wish to see you both contend in the next Yugioh Cards Blog contest!
