Strongest Yugioh Monster Card

When 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.

    Although Yubel, Armityle, DMK and Five-Headed Dragon are all great monsters. Powerhouses each in their own right, I would have to say overall that The Wicked Avatar is better. tribute 3 monsters period and he’s on the field. Plus his atk and def are both 100 points higher than than the strongest monster on the field. Sure on the card “?” may not look like much, but it’s like The Winged Dragon of Ra. You’re not guaranteed a set atk and def every time you summon it.

    Not to mention for those of us who play casually or in the Traditional format. Nothing is sweeter when your opponent plays Last Turn and you can select The Wicked Avatar as your monster. It does have a downside as well, should the strongest monster be destroyed or removed from the field Avatar’s atk and def drop. But there is no way anyone could get a stronger monster than you.

    ultimate ancient gear golem ain’t too bad either. 4400 atk plus piercing damage plus your opponent can’t activate spell or trap cards until the end of the damage step. and all you need is an ancient gear golem and 2 other ancient gear monsters. Not to mention you can summon an ancient gear golem when it’s destroyed, which means cards like hammer shot won’t be worth much against this, unlike any of the others mentioned up until now.

    then there are the 2 envoys, chaos emperor dragon and black luster soldier who have VERY EASY summoning conditions. you won’t have lost much if they’re destroyed. and you can easily summon them again if you can get them into your hand.

    earth giant gaia plate is a 2800 beatstick that can be special summoned by just removing from play 2 rock-type monsters in your graveyard, or you could normally summon it. Best yet, it halves the ATK and DEF of any monster it battles with. so your opponent needs a monster of 5600 ATK or DEF to stand a chance. it’s only downside is that your have to remove a rock-type monster from your graveyard during your standby phase.

    Cyber End Dragon - 4000 ATK - go limiter removal, megamorph and power bond and results speak out fir itself - same with Chimeratech Fortress + Over Dragon -etc

    oh and let us not forget about Dark Gaia say u fuse Darkness Neosphere and oh i dunno Valkyrion the Magnet Warrior to bring it out - well thats a whole load of ATK points there followed up by a pretty good effect …

    nuff said

    FHD is good and all but even so Cybers/Chimeratechs + Dark Gaia and other related cards like Maju Garzet and Great Marju Garzet are much better

    Those are both great monsters, and the envoys are really nice too. But another factor is determining a monster’s strength would be in its activation or standby cost. Like Dark Necrofear. Once you remove the three fiend-type monsters from play. You can forget about it’s effect until its destroyed in battle. But when it comes to the strongest monster in yugioh, some of it depends on the deck you’re running.

    Like Gren Maju Da Eiza is a pushover in say the Dinosaur’s Rage structure deck, but throw it in The Dark Emperor deck and it becomes a force like none other. Get twenty cards removed from play and it’s the strongest monster in the game. Especially if you can manage to get nearly all your cards removed from play except him by the last turn and you’re looking at a level 3 monster with 15,600 atk and def!

    Of course the chance of pulling that off is slim to none, but we’re looking at the cards themselves and the potential they carry in the game.

    imma say that creator of light horakhty is the strongest card although its fake.

  6. FHD is way easier to play then Cyber End or Chimeratech. Dark Gaia is good, however, good luck getting Darking Neosphere and Valkyrion on the field. Plus, who would fuse Valkyrion or Neopshere to make Dark Gaia? I would keep them! Maju Garzet and Great Maju Garzet can be really powerful, but they don’t have any other effect. Okay, what if your opponent has a Obelisk the Tormentor or something? Unless you tributed monsters with a high attack points, Obelisk would destroy the Garzets. Though FHD could get tough to play, compared to other high level fusions, it is relatively simple to play and frankly, it has no down side.

  7. morfowt says:

    how about Ally of Justice Catastor? It’s a level 5 synchro monster that only needs 1 tuner and 1 or more non-tuners, which makes it easy summoning with a junk warrior or deep sea diva. plus it’s effect automatically destroys any non-DARK monster it battles without applying damage calculation. that’s 5/6 of all monsters! 2200 ATK ain’t too bad for a level 5 either. and since it’s DARK, it can be used for summoning monsters like Dark Armed Dragon.

  8. Cris says:

    Wicked Avatar takes the cake in this debate. Of all the monsters commented up there wicked avatar is always gonna have 100 more ATK and DEF than the strongest monster on the field. Even if you were to play creator of light horakhty which by the way has an infinite ATK the wicked avatars ATK would also become infinite BUT always be ahead in ATK and DEF by 100. The only time he would be usless was if he were gong up against another wicked avatar. summoning is also easy cuz you only have to tribute 3 monsters. not of a specific attribute, level or type so if you wanted you could sacrifice 3 Kuribohs.

    *The best way to get one is by becoming a member of SHONEN JUMP thats how I got mine.

    the wicked avatar vs. man-eater bug. I’m rooting for man-eater bug. thus, not the best card in my opinion since you also need 3 tributes for it.

    now ultimate ancient gear golem… not only would your opponent still lose close to 4000 life points, you also get an ancient gear golem to attack with.

  10. Sunshadow says:

    Man-Eater Bug could easily destroy Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem as easy as it can The Wicked Avatar. So according to your post Man-Eater Bug would be the strongest. But again morfowt, we’re looking at the monsters themselves. Their stats and effects, and exploring the fullest potential of the monsters we mention. While you do make a good point with Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, your bit about Man-Eater Bug was irrelevant to the topic in discussion.

    Now for another of my suggestions.

    Take a look at Alien Infiltrator, sure it’s only a level 4 monster, but your Spells/Traps and Monsters act as walls against it. Leave an opening in both rows and your opponent can just move it to that empty row one turn at a time and attack you directly even with FHD on the field. =^)

  11. morfowt says:

    I think man-eater bug as well as other cards like it are relevant because they show that most monsters’ potential lasts only as long as they’re on the field. in my opinion, a monster’s full potential is small if it can’t protect itself from common threats like man-eater bug.

    speaking of which, I’d also like to add cranium fish. a level 6 fish with 2400 atk, you can special summon it by tributing 1 ocean’s keeper, which means it’s very possible to get it out on the first turn. better yet, its effect allows you to destroy 1 face-down card by discarding 1 WATER monster, so your opponent won’t have too many surprises for you.

  12. Sunshadow says:

    That’s common sense. lol

    vennominaga deity of poisonous snakes is a really good card.
