Kaiba's Top 10 Most IMPORTANT Cards
Vložit

- Whether as an Egyptian Priest or the head of his own company, Seto Kaiba has stood as Yugi’s eternal rival and one of the only duelists capable of keeping up with the King of Games - Opposing Yugi’s belief in the Heart of The Cards by instead believing in the objective strength of his deck and his skill as a duelist.
And it’s for this reason that Kaiba is so iconic and well-loved, because no matter how arrogant he is, Kaiba always has the dueling strength and coolness factor to back it up, which is why we’re going to look at Kaiba’s ten most iconic cards, how Kaiba used their strength to his advantage and whether or not that power actually holds up in the real life game.

![Was Kaiba About To Defeat Yugi? [Clash in the Coliseum]](/img/n.gif)
"Thats right, I sacrifice GOD!" went so hard though
Sacrificing god for his waifu, what a chad
The best part is that in Japanese he calls them useless or unneeded cards as sacrifice.
@@edwardalyassin7887 At some point he will properly tribute summon Holactie into a board with a lingering negate and then tribute her with 2 normal monsters to summon Blue-Eyes.
Kaiba's best moment, and biggest power move.
Even Ishizu got thrown off and she could see the fcking FUTURE 🤣
I only disagree with one thing. Obelisk’s most iconic moment was when he was summoned in Dark Side of Dimensions. “It’s no monster. It’s a God!”
I agree also
Yeah Kaiba literally broke fate and time to bring back Obelisk. That was crazy.
@@ryguyk9375he used his sheer will to bring obelisk back
Best scene in the movie
I feel like Kaiba is the only core group member that would succeed in real world duels. Everyone else running round talkin “heart of the cards” and getting lucky would get dunked on as soon as protag powers don’t carry. Kaiba is at least like “I’m good because my deck is meticulously optimized to be good” and while he would certainly have to change his deck, he’s be down as long as it earn tournaments and had a blue eyes
He’s also incredibly rich, so he can afford cards too
I consider all of his deck's iterations way too top heavy to have ever been remotely competitive in the real world. Think about it, at one point in the anime he ran three copies of BWD, Obelisk and several other high level monsters with very limited options to special summon them. Plus he had very little in terms of back row removal and only highly situational monster removal. He'd have to make substantial changes to his deck, so much that it could hardly be called a Kaiba deck anymore.
@@vahlen5281I sometimes feel like he’s the anime’s way of saying “See? It’s not just the protagonists that are drawing unrealistically well!” That’s not necessarily a *bad* think but…
@@vahlen5281I think it’s more about his personality and view on the game than his actual decks in the manga/anime.
Players like Yugi or Joey play cards that they like or are sentimental/emotionally important to them, and rely on cheating or luck to win.
Kaiba does include cards he likes, such as Blue-Eyes or Obelisk, but he also sets out to build powerful decks, using his money to buy “the best” cards and meticulously calculating odds and simulating battles.
@@eXJonSnow Perhaps, but that doesn't change the fact that Kaiba's deck would be just as weak irl as basically every other anime deck.
I think it's ironic the one time Blue-Eyes became meta, it was thanks to a defensive strategy instead of its usual offensive support.
Ironically, the time it did, it would probably be something out of Kaiba's book of "his deck would become meta just to promote the movie"
Kaiba is one of the best antagonists ever made. His burns and one liners are legendary and I wish he'd get his own series where he's the protag who finally becomes the best duelist in the world
He basically is the protagonist in DSOD and believes in the heart of the cards
Umm anti hero.
deuteragonist is the word you're looking for. He wasn't an antagonist. He was the second protagonist of the story.
@@PunLlarena Nah. Kaiba does legitimately fall under the designation anti-hero. Not just because he has very little respect for anyone else, but because he has resorted to exceptionally cruel and malicious actions just to get what he wants. He tore Solomon Moto's BEWD because he couldn't buy it. He abused the ethical standards of a business owner to make a ton of money in a short time. And threatened Yugi with his own death just to avoid taking a loss in a duel. None of those fall under "hero" actions.
@@azuredragoon2054many would argue that anti hero does not fit his character from Battle City onward, and that’s the representation most people know. Even if that’s not the case, it’s hard to peg the dude in one role when it changed a lot over the series with his methods and motivations.
Nice. Now I want to see Joey Wheeler, Marik, Judei, Yusei, Chaz, and all memorable charcters' important cards.
Luckly, those videos will come in time! (great opporunity for a series of videos like these)
For Chaz itd just be 10 Ojama cards 😂
@@iistontonand dark armed dragon
@@Deathmare235 he never had dark armed dragon. Just the Armed Dragon Lv monster
The less ojamas the better
Blue-Eyes didn't just win the World Championship, it won it in a Mirror Match!
And it was a brickfest
Describe the grand finals in one word: BRICK
One of the most interesting part of original Yu-Gi-Oh was that, despite his philosophy, Kaiba actually had a closer bond to the Blue Eyes White Dragon than Yugi to ANY of his cards, making it an interest dichotomy with his philosophy.
İt was also a trend in Yu-Gi-Oh for a while: Manjoume talked with cards more than Judai (and had the amazing victory with Ojama Yellow), Jack defined Red Dragon Archfiend "his very soul", and Kite had the spirit of his brother in his ace card. Reiji and Revolver were the first rivals to actually have a more utilitaristic attitude.
İ always found it very cool.
How so, Yugi was pretty much bonded to his Dark Magician. I mean, Kaiba did allegedly kill to get all of his 3 Blue Eyes but…
@@HaruSkage Kaiba went searching for the other copies, themed a lot of his proprieties around it, and beyond being a simble of his past life it was a representation of his philosophy and of his bond with Mokuba. There was a lot more going on between Kaiba and Bluer Eyes than with Yugi and Dark Magician.
Can we just talk about how silly it is that Pegasus made a game where you can only have up to three copies of any given card in your deck, then made exactly four copies of BEWD? The closest there is to a reason is the fact there are four Eyes of Blue monsters to retroactively explain within card-lore why there were four BEWD cards.
He wanted there to be equality between two or four players, or to troll the person who only got one copy vs the person who got the remaining three.
I totally agree, Blue eyes is not just a card, it is a bridge between me and my childhood. I will never sell my 3copy of first edition SDK-001.
I love your video keep going man!!
And you will rip up your fourth copy
I remember the combo I was real proud of back in the day: Lava Golem > Ring of Destructing > Barrel Behind the Door. Golem deals it's 1000, then I explode it, use the trap to double that towards opponent then use anything to deal 1000. Was the only thing I ever did in YGO that made people finally be like, "Oh hey, it's this guy who did that thing"
Sadly, these days that combo wouldn't work, or at least it wouldn't double the damage the opponent took. You could at least redirect the damage you took, but then since you took no damage your opponent would only take 0 from the second part of the resolution.
No it's cyber stein +blue eyes ultimate+ ring of destruction{barrel behind the door
@@leonardolim8976 why are you correcting them on something they did
@@rajkanishu I'm just explaining that's my go to combo on the DS game emulator. Calm down bro
I wish Cyber Jar got an honorable mention , Kaiba never used the card himself but it was apparently always in his deck and was used against Noah Kaiba by Yugi who fused his deck with kaiba's
Its not the most competitive card in-game but it was banned until recently
IIRC cyber jar was very much in every meta deck during the back in the day so it was competitive
@@michaelrizka By competitive I am referring to current day
@@michaelrizkaI definitely ran it in every game I had the option to😂😂😂😂
I've always loved Kaiba deck since when I first bought his starter deck, it had the most amazing shiny blue-eye card. When I first used it at my high school to play w/ my class mates, they always comment on how mine was different from theirs even though it was from the same starter deck set. It wasn't until many years later after I quit playing w/ the physical card game that I found out that my blue-eyes dragon was actually misprinted. I still have that card.
I can firmly agree with the end statement you made for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I firmly believe in that card and its archetype that one day it will rise again. Until then, I will still stick by it in Master Duel and beyond.
1:45 I forget that the filler gave LaJinn such an epic moment in the anime..... Also surprised they haven't tried to make LaJinn its own archetype. Not even as a case of "Blue-Eyes support because it was X thing the main Blue-Eyes user (Kaiba) used"
18:36 Even DSoD Kaiba used Sagi the Clown (now, so he could use the trap "Dark Sacrifice")
23:49 Funny enough, now that Grandpa Mutou is plyable in Duel Links, they added a in-universe justification as for why would Kaiba let it be playable to anyone: as a prove that he is the one to have mastered them, and is superior to any other Blue-Eyes player
Actually, in the anime, Enemy Controller's control effect is to let you tribute an opponent's monster for a tribute summon.
I kinda wish Critias fusions get a retrain because they are really cool Fusions
Timeus and harmos should also get retrains
Always love a new video from this channel. These anime top 10 are not a bad change of pace. Keep it up man.
One entry worth mentioning as well: Lord of D & Flute of Summoning Dragon combo
Honorable mentions for me are Hitot-Su Me Giant, Saggi The Dark Clown, Chaos Emperor Dragon, Kaiser Sea Horse and Blade Knight.
Top 10 unique, interesting, or just fun decks/archetypes that saw a lot of casual and/or locals play and very little to no high level competitive play.
While it's not a strong monster at all, there's one other fun nod to Kaiba's power and the power of the game in the early days. In both his very first duel with Yugi, and the duel against his "ghost," the very first monster Kaiba summons in Hitosumi Giant. In the very VERY early days of Yugioh, this was the strongest no-tribute monster, sorta like the earliest version of La-Jinn.
So Kaiba summoning it as his first monsters shows how not only can he basically get any cards he wants, but also "Yeah this isn't anything special anymore" like the show's basically foreshadowing Power Creep.
I like this series I wish you do this with the other characters (like from 5ds and gx, etc)
This list is great, but it's missing Kaiba's optimal turn 1 play. "I summon the Battle Ox in attack mode!"
It's crazy cause I definitely still love usin my blue eyes decks as much as I have to constantly update em over the years
Joey is next
Jonouchi pls
He’s going to have swordsman of lanstar as #1😂😂😂
@@noellesilva1964 that spot is reserved for Red Eyes
It’s interesting to me that Yugi’s list was mostly monsters (many/most of which have gone on to be archetypes into themselves) but Kaiba’s were predominantly back row. And the cards that weren’t back row were mostly single card beat sticks (the cards themselves not having an archetype) that he used strategically, but would have been threats at the time anyway. Obviously Blue-Eyes would spawn a huge archetype and Obelisk is part of the god cards family
Anyway here are some predictions for a Joey list in no particular order: Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Time Wizard, Gearfried the Iron Knight, Jinzo, Grave Robber, Graceful and/or Skull Dice, Flame Swordsman, Panther Warrior, The Claw of Hermos, and Rocket Warrior.
I find it kinda ironic how Yugi is monsters while kaibas is spells
well the thing with kaiba is that he doesn't really need much monsters since all his monsters are among the strongest monsters in the game, well, except saggi, so i can see how he puts more efforts in setting up his backrows
meanwhile with yugi, he's all about having bond with his monsters, that's why his backrows are more geared toward strengthening his monsters, hence he got more spotlight with his monsters
I agree with REBD, Gearfried, Hermos, and Flame Swordsman showing up on the list.
REBD has its own archetype now.
Gearfried saw use as a loop piece with Butterfly Dagger Elma.
Hermos because it saved him half the time.
And Flame Swordsman because it spawned a version for the main deck.
Top 10 cards that saw play, but not for their effects
The best voice to fall asleep to strikes again :D Great vid!
Never forget Kaiba also used Blue Eyes card as a fucking batarang to sink a helicopter and save Tea
I’m really enjoying these Top 10 Iconic duelist cards! Hyped for Pegasus!
Please continue this series!
Love to see a Joey Wheeler top 10. I was always more of a Red-Eyes fan than Blue-Eyes
Number 1 swordsman of landstar
@@DioBrando-yk5up no. It's Time Wizard.
Dragoon😹
Loved this video
Kaiba's most important card was his KC company Credit Card. He activates it to screw the rules with his money.
He never does this, though.
Let’s not low key jinx this for being future Blue-eyes support.
@@xCorvus7xhow do you think he got his 3 blue eyes
@@Deathmare235 If he broke any thing to get them, it was laws, not rules (might makes right was a lesson he learned early in his life).
The manga doesn't exactly tell us when and how he acquires the other three copies.
It is possible that this happened before he met Yugi the first time, in which case it's reasonable to assume money was all it took to get them, so nothing was broken here, neither laws nor rules. Given how strongly he reacts to Sugoroku refusing the money, Kaiba seemed to expect that that would be all it took.
If Kaiba acquired the three other Blue-Eyes after that episode, while Yugi and friends have fun with other games before Duel Monsters becomes central to the story, then it's plausible for him to use more violent means, if money doesn't work. However, we don't see Kaiba ever cheat throughout the story, and given how strong a duelist he was supposed to be from the start, maybe he simply dueled for the Blue-Eyes and won (he'd only have to persuade three people in total, some of whom might have just taken the money).
@@xCorvus7x he acquired by forcing one of the owners to commit suicide, the other into bankruptcy and the other by deals with the mafia but he’s rich so yeah he broke no laws
who ever said this idea, u gave DuelLogs a Gold Mine of content. There's so many iconic duelist and card combos no matter if they were very successful in the anime, manga. Hell I dont follow the pro scene all that much but I wouldn't be surprised if there are also IRL duelist who Logs can make a video out of.
Great narratives on the BEWD as the closing of the video.
I like the irony, that Yugi relies on Kuriboh for ultimate defense and summon his ace monsters, while Kaiba ultimate lvl1(which didn't use) is the maiden with eyes of blue who also is his ultimate defense and blue eyes mass summoning.
I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh! anymore, but saw the Top 10 Yugi Cards on my homepage and watched this one and Joey's for a nostalgia kick. Huge fan of this series!
You forgot his most important card
His credit card
LITERALLY everyone who plays Yugioh is a Kaiba.
The nostalgia here is great.
Honestly, I always really enjoyed both Kaiba's over the top attitude and his cards. Blue Eyes is such an absolute classic. The main reason even as a kid I loved just having as many dragon cards as I could. Dark Magician and Red Eyes have their appeals for sure. But Blue Eyes just always seemed awesome.
Great, I love this series
hello man i love ur videos keep up the good work, just a proposition : I would love to see you add modern cards to these yugioh characters like for exemple what would kaiba use in masterduel in 2023 etc..., thank you and much love ✌✌
Should definitely do one of these for each major protagonist. And I would also like to nominate Kaiser Ryo/Zane Truesdale for one of these lists.
This is a really fun series! The best part bout thisnis that since i didnt watch the anime, this facts are really cool
Yes. I built Yugi and Kaiba's decks. Splashed in with the legendary dragons cards too. Casual anime decks are super fun.
Please do Top 10 cards with soft once per turn in the modern meta or Top 10 fusion monsters that can only be brought out by a fusion method !
Are are a God of Adobe Aftereffects man!
the fang of critias
Could be very good if fused with trap like evenly matched or infinite impermanence yugioh or waking the dragon
But the monster had quick play effect n added attack buff or something extra make worth playing
1. Blue-Eyes White Dragon
2. Blue-Eyes White Dragon
3. Blue-Eyes White Dragon
4. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
5. Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon
6. Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon
7. Kaiser Sea Horse (2 tributes for BEWD)
8. Paladin of White Dragon (free BEWD)
9. Flute of Summoning Dragons (for more BEWDs)
10. Obelisk the Tormentor (can be sacrificed for a BEWD, I guess)
In the early days of the game, I remember a friend of mine using Lava Golem, Ring then Barrel Behind the door on me. I was flabbergasted to say the least lol
Fang of Critias along with Power of the guardians and tyrant burst Dragon makes for a great combo during raid duels in duel links, what'd you do is summon a monster that deals double triple or 5 times damage then equpi power of guardians to that monster and then activate fang of critias with tyrant wing to summon tyrant burst dragon equip TBD to the monster and PLUS 1500 every turn PLUS the damage increases with every attack
I still remember all those years ago playing spirit caller on the ds and every new deck was instantly loaded with 3 Vorse Raider. Good times
Crush Card was so insanely OP in the anime, as a kid I was obsessed with it after watching how it decimated Yugis deck in their Duelist Kingdom match
What's wild is that it had to be nerfed twice to be legal in the TCG. It was nerfed from the anime when ported to the physical card game, got banned because it was still too strong and nerfed so it could come off the ban list.
I loved summoning 1900 lv 4 monsters and equipping an Axe of Despair while having field spell Mystic Plasma Zone, making my 1900 ATK lv 4 monster a 3400 demigod. 3400 was just a little too much to overcome. I was also one who used the elemental booster monsters (low lv monsters ranging from 400-600 ATK that boost ALL monsters of a certain type while simultaneously lowering that types contrary. Like boost dark types by 500 and lower all light types by 400). For dark types it's Witch's Apprentice, 550 ATK and boost all dark by 500 and lowering all light by 400. Throw in a +500 ATK dark field spell and most opponents never did the math and attacked it not knowing its actual ATK power. Witch's Apprentice with an Axe of Despair while Mystic plasma zone active makes his attack power a grand total of 2550. remember these monsters boost effects stack meaning more Witch's Apprentices on field means each one adds 500 ATK to dark and Lowers Light monsters by 400. So 2 of them on the field each with an Axe of Despair and Mystic Plasma zone active means if u attack with Blue eyes, Blue eyes is defeated. I had to explain this alot. I loved using Call of the Haunted to bring these guys back. Only REAL downside is worrying my opponent used dark type monsters. I mean one Dark Magician and you're looking at a GOD. Real trick is to stack bottomless trap holes for such situations or Magic Cylinder and make him regret attacking.
Ey you picked my idea. Lets go!!!
Strange, in LEgacy of the Duelist while I love the magic of the Dark MAgician and Yugi is my main. I can't help but point out that Blue Eyes is my favorite.I just keep finding new ways to use it in my deck and to win.
It's not exactly meta of course, but I use the Fang of Critias in my Lair of Darkness deck due to Lilith, Lady of Lament's effect of searching out normal traps. Makes it a lot easier to get out the trap effect dragons.
Counter point, Kaiba once played Chaos Emperor Dragon. Making it the most important card he ever played by default.
CHAOS REIGNS SUPREME!
And it was banned in the GX anime. A case could be made that it was used so infrequently that it was significant when he played it.
Ring of D and Defense was a great 2 cards combo in highschool. And by "ring of defense" I mean "barrel behind the door"
I don't blame you for overlooking the errata'd CCV, but it only allows the opponent to destroy monsters with 1500 or more atk from their deck and not any. So, you can't destroy merrli with it (not that it would be your prime target if it could).
I would have loved for Enemy Controller to have a secret effect in the anime. If you put in the code Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, center button(I presume it's the Start button), You can Special Summon a level 7 or higher NORMAL monster from your hand.
The reason I say this is because Konami is the one who's publishing the TCG, So I think putting in the Konami code for that card would have been a nice little Easter egg.
Crush card virus was a nightmare to play against as a kid in duelist of the roses and tag force 1 both games pre errata 😂
You need to do antagonists, as they have a lot of elements that connect their cards with their traits.
Additional note about Fang of Critias: It’s the single best musical track in the anime.
If Pegasus really wanted to piss off Kaiba, he should have reprinted Blue-Eyes so Kaiba would go on a massive card murdering spree.
Can you make a video top 10 card that better than their counterpart version in the anime:)))
Chaos Emperor Dragon Envoy of the End should’ve gotten a mention. The pre-errata version is the reason the banlist exists
How can you use Kozmo Tincan with Card of Demise if C of D discards your hand during end phase?
I got an idea that ypu should do if you haven't let Top 10 weird card types that doesn't go with their archetype or picture like how come Gagaga Clerk is a Warrior monster when clearly it's a spellcaster
I thought there would be a little glimpse of Nova when talking about people still using blue eyes today
It was hilarious how the only people crush card ever worked on were Yugi, Joey and Ishizu. And Ishizu hardly even counts since she wanted it to happen and reversed it. Everyone else Kaiba ever tried it on shut it the hell down.
Don't forget that E-Con can also make Yugi and Kaiba's heads abnormally large.
Number one gotta be Hitotsu-me Giant for sure
"... It's also a fond reminder of their childhood"
Okay got a little bit real there.
At Duel Logs why didn't you mention V-Tiger Jet, W-Wing Catapult,VW - Tiger Catapult,VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon?
I just noticed that Enemy Controller literally predicted the Switch Joycons. The d-pad is exactly the same
I hope for all iconic characters
Now the Top cards for Joey
...wow, it really took me THIS long to piece together that Enemy Controller is a Sega Genesis controller
Mr. Logs, with all due respect Obelisk’s coolest moment was when Atem summoned him against Bakura, Battle city is a close second tho
His coolest moment was easily when he was tribute fodder with DSOD second
Ah yes, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon: the card that Kaiba used so much I would've thought it was his waifu BEFORE I knew about Kisara.
Would love to see Yusei's 10 cards.
Idea for a fang of critias retrain:
Quick Play Spell
Reveal a Trap Card from your hand or field and a Fusion Monster from your Extra deck that mentions that trap card and "The Fang of Critias": Select and activate 1 of the following:
* Special Summon that monster from your extra deck. This is treated as being summoned with The Fang of Critias.
* Use that Trap Card's effect as this card's effect. (If that card targets, you must have a valid target.)
If a Set Spell/Trap you control would be destroyed by an opponent's card effect, or a Trap Card's activation or effect would be negated by an opponent's card, You can banish this card from your GY instead.
It should be related to blue eyes
Endless Blue-Eyes support!
You forgot Shrink! You know, the card that let Crush Card Virus resolve in a nuts way.
My two favorite cards in this video are Vorse Raider and Crush Card Virus
Top 10 archetypes with interesting lore vs the contrast in competitive play
6:14 Actually having piercing damage would've been useful in that duel since Yugi was playing defensive.
You should do one for Yusei and one for Jack respectively.
I like how much they are censoring cards now, but back in the day you can just have a Necklace of handgrenades.

Wouldnt card of demise work well with dark world?
The crush card virus was equipped to one non dark attribute monster in the Anima the dragon piper
Critias is still my favourite kaiba card overall (though obelisk is a very close second). It may not be meta but I still use him in my physical deck with my kaijus. I think its disappointing that tyrant burst gets so little love as it's my favourite LG fusion.
This reminds me of the time my opponent used Ring of Destruction and then followed it up with Barrel Behind the Door. That pissed me off to no end.
I still use demise for my exodia deck
Soul Demolition took away his boosted ATK bonus and immunity effects, not reduce his ATK to 0…….
