Top 10 TOXIC Cards in Yugioh

Babe wake up theduellogs is explaining maxx c again

i love how "Tributing over #9" implies that something else was supposed to be at #9 but gameciel decided to summon on top of it

It always gets me, the philosophy around what's usually considered toxic cards in yugioh like super poly "I spent my entire turn trying to stop you from playing as much as I could and now you won't let me respond to it? 😡"

The funny thing is that most of these cards that are considered toxic are designed to stop other toxic cards. Boo hoo, you can't play Eldlich with 5 trap cards or you can't sit on a board with multiple negates and immunities. Ultimately, it's Konami's fault for continuously pushing the game forward for the sake of money and sales rather than keep the game stagnant at a reasonable level. I'd much rather "toxic" to mean a boss monster has a quick effect that destroys a monster than a deck that has endless recoverability and can stop you from doing anything at any point.

Never found Kaijus toxic. In all honesty, I think they're a "poetic justice" in terms of the player taking up my time to setup a board of negates and immunities.

I think this entire list just kinda demonstrates what's wrong with the game's meta in general. The meta has power crept to the point where meta decks are generally only doing two things: preventing your opponent from playing at all and setting up near-invincible boards capable of FTKing and OTKing, all in their first turn, with duels becoming incredibly short. As much as I like YGO in concept, this is one of the reasons I only play the single player video games. The entire game just doesn't seem healthy in general by this point.

It's honestly disheartening how the metagame of Yu-Gi-Oh has evolved in such a way that you are often forced to play cards that could be considered toxic because if you don't, you don't have any chance of winning or sometimes even playing at all. It's gotten to the point that you have to develop a mind set of high patience against frustration if you want to enjoy the game at all.

How ironic that the card that was created to counter hand traps made it into the banlist where most hand traps has never been hit in the TCG

I've seen duels where someone who used Maxx C got decked out because their opponent special summon way too many times, then used Card Destruction.

Thats why other games have rotating formats, the power creep is so real to the point that a card that prevents an otk is toxic

Self-destruct button should be the number 1 on this list. It is a card that isn't even good, but it will probably never be unbanned because it encourages a toxic playstyle.

Something that never sits well with me is that i always hear the discussion about Maxx C, but I rarely heard the same discussion about ash blossom. A card that make hand traps the permanent tumors of today.

Some of these are not toxic… they prevent 90% of game to be determined by who goes first… Gotta love players whose entire strategy is to prevent the other player from doing anything complaining about a card that prevents them from playing

Imo kaijus are the necessary poison for "fight poison with poison", since first turn boards are always insufferable. Id put baronne on number 9 instead due to her insane splashability and disruption

putting kaijus as toxic has to be THE WORST duel logs take I've ever seen. And I've been watching his vids for years now. WOW

I love how "toxic" really just translates to "forces your opponent to play more than 2 turns."

Finds out the list isn't about cards with the word toxic or related to poison in them My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Called by isn't just toxic for being an anti-hand trap tool. It's also never a dead card against most decks, because if your opponent doesn't handtrap you, you can just set Called By as an interruption. If they just so happen to activate a monster effect anywhere, and a copy of that monster is in the grave, you can just stop thay monster from being relevant for 2 WHOLE TURNS.

Half way into the video and pretty much all of these cards are "toxic" because the modern game is awfully designed. Konami needs to dial back the power creep, end of story.

4:28 OH NO! Not counter play that makes the game more playable!
