- Spells are probably the strongest card type overall, but that doesn’t excuse them from having some of the hugest blunders as well. In this list, we’ll be going over some more terrible normal spells, while also skipping cards that are just boring (Mooyan Curry) or meant to be bad (Pot of Generosity)

Man, I still get a chuckle out of Burst Return. All the crazy good support that never got printed from the manga or anime, but we somehow got the one extremely situational spell tied to a single specific vanilla.
We didn’t even get Burst Impact that made the card SORTOF not complete trash
That’s what I was saying when playing the World Championship game. 😂
Those Hero specific spells/traps wouldn't be as bad if they also require a Fusion that listed [insert HERO's name] as material.
All I can remember is “Oh no what will Sparkwoman think?!”
Burstinatrix may be the one fire warrior they left behind.

Their reputation will never recover... RIP Avain and Sparkman!
@@matthewriddle2698 They're not beating the allegations.
Considering that Lullaby of Obedience seems to be showing the opposite camera angle of Dark Designator it's probably a deliberate retrain. With Dark Designator the controller of the card is actually the victim shown in the artwork, whereas Lullaby of Obedience has you controlling whatever entity was casting the original spell. That's my headcanon anyway.
To add a further kick in the teeth, Return of the Doomed, Dark Designator, and Calming Magic took up the Rare slot in their respective packs. Burst Return to up a Super Rare slot in its debut pack
3:18
You know, it would be pretty fun if Burst. and all the other normal HERO monsters had retrains that had variants of their “Signature Move” Spells/Traps as their personal effects.
I'd called them: blazing burstinitrix, cyclone avian,avalanche clayman and finally typhoon sparkman
@@neoxthegamer4930
You know what, let me Bounce THIS off of you as one such idea:
_Burstinatrix - Burst Return_ (🪄)
Level 3
Warrior/Flip/Effect
_FLIP: Return all other Face-Up monsters on the field to the hand._
_This card’s name is always treated as “Elemental HERO Burstinatrix”. This card can be treated as 2 tribute for the Summon/Set of a FIRE or HERO monster. Once while face-up on the field, you can declare the name of this card: All monsters on the field except "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix" are destroyed, and the destroyed monster's controller receives damage equal to the number of monsters destroyed x 300._
ATK/1200 DEF/800
Hey that’s a pretty good idea. Have it so they’re still treated as their normal counterparts so you could still go into stuff like Thunder giant
@@PhantoRoyce
And maybe also that when they’re used as tribute/material for the summon of a HERO monster, they transfer their effects to the summoned monster!
Good one
Woke versions, like old retrains
With effects, and treated as normals with their original name
I'll add up some idea:
On summon they searches their fusion pair normal monster, or their signature S/T
Cool effect and not too OP
Meteor of Destruction: the burn card that can't burn for game.
Even so, burn is still burn and therefore inherently useful. Especially when by the current rules you can win by simply having more lp than your opponent when going into time. No joke i was playing yubel/neos against a snake eyes player at a locals when they impermanenced my spirit of neos leaving my only play to normal poly it and yubel to summon yubel ldf to deal 1000 damage on turn 1. Next turn, they out my yubel, go into battle hit me with a 900 attack monster first, hit me for 2700 on the next attack at which point i activate Mahaama the Fairy Dragon summoning it to defend against the next attack and burn my opponent for the damage i just took. Then time in the round happens and i win by a difference of 100 life points. The match was ultimately a draw though since i lost round 1 and we didn't have time for round 3.
1. Play Master Duel
2. Play Floo
3. Tech Jade Whistle
4. Make your opponent brick Maxx C that does nothing while you normal summon out the wazoo
5. ???
6. Profit

It HAD to be done!
XD
It is a spell for Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to get over Blue-Eyes and DAD and the others.
@@residentgrey Rush Recklessly.
He pronounces everything wrong it's infuriating.
Also it looks like a condom
Calming Magic is just one power creep away from being a busted card. Komoney is already testing with Traps sending other traps to the grave to copy their effects, and having monsters copy other monsters. It is only a matter of time before they have normal spells copied.
But at quick play speed?
You mean different from Double Spell?
You know what we actually need?!
Glimpse of the Forbidden
Normal Spell
Choose 1 card by its original name. For the rest of this turn: This card is treated as an exact copy of that card (Name, types and effects) but it cannot be activated or Summoned, also you cannot activate or resolve its effects.
Yep, no doubt this game will eventually reach a point where they make a card that can Quick Effect play Spells from the Hand or Deck and this card will probably get emergency banned.
@@dq7860 unless it has a high cost...
@@dq7860 bro they allow transaction rollback and that's basically a guaranteed win if you go first as lightsworn or tear because ghost meets girl exists
Fun fact: Not even Konami knows what happens if you have both Spirit Elimination and Stellarknight Constellar Diamond active and try to add a card from your graveyard to your hand.
You should do a list of “impossible” cards. I’m thinking cards like Crop Circle (which has an effect that appears like it could never activate due to how ruling about being unable to search work), Elemental HERO Neo Bubbleman (which cannot be Summoned properly since it requires a banned card), Spirit of the Pot of Greed (same), Warrior of Atlantis (which technically searches a card that cannot exist in the deck), or Curse of Fiend (which is a Normal Spell Card that can only be used at a time Normal Spell Cards aren’t supposed to be used).
If only Bakura had set monster reborn before using Exchange to steal Ra 😞
Same with Yugi to get his Slifer back, if he had set Life Shaver.
Those are the big things that always made me mad. What’s Marik gonna do with Destiny Board? Come on.
Nah, setting the S/T before Exchange was more Rafael's thing.
I remember the singular time I used Dark Designator! Although it was for a meta reason. I was trying to 100% Reverse of Arcadia. I noticed some out of place undiscovered cards in the card list. I looked it up, and they were the Egyptian god cards! …Which were only available during a special event min 2010. As far as I understood, there was no longer a way to get them… then I had an idea. After combing through the NPC’s decks, I saw that Grinder Golem, in the double battle specifically, ran Obelisk! So I used Dark Designator to add it to their hand, a card to give them monsters to tribute, tanked the hit, then used Creature Swap to take control of the Obelisk, which the game counted as owning the card! Unfortunately, I never did get the other two :’)
Smarter than what I tried. I did a deep draw deck and ran exchange. Wish I was a smarter 12 year old. Years and years later I went back to the game, did a mill deck, and then just summoned it from Grinder’s GY. Almost felt cheated.
Vid posted right before i hop in the shower. Perfect background listenin
these videos are rly good for showing me some of the cutest and silliest artworks in official yugioh
Fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I had never seen the Japanese art for Heat Wave before this video, and I understand why because it's pretty brutal.
Would love a video on YGO's most brutal/morbid card art.
I find it interesting that if we ever get a meta relevant deck who has an insect type Garnet, but no other relevant insect cards in the archetype, Jade Insect Whistle existence will influence deck building so that people will at least pack a standalone utility insect monster in their deck so the spell can't brick their deck.
Keep up the good work and the great ideas for top 10
13:46 You can play Dark Designator and declare a very unlikely card (e. g. Jar Robber) to look at your opponent's entire deck, which gives you a lot of information.
You can't look at your opponents deck with cards like that anymore, the same with Mind crush not being able to look at your opponents hand, you just have to trust your opponent when he says he doesn't have it.
@@kinoalove5817Old days it was a strat to get deck lists of high rating players from video games :)
@@kinoalove5817 According to Yugipedia this was the ruling of Upper Deck and Konami did not issue a ruling which says otherwise iirc.

1:35 Last week at locals I got beat by a guy playing Hieroglyph Lithograph in Runick stun.
I was on Yubel and he milled me out by turn 5 by just having enough interuption.
Heiroglyph Lithograph didnt even come up since he never brought out fountain but apparently "its the guu."

Hieroglyph Lithograph was a Duel links Farming stable 🐐
And Jade insect whistle was also good in early Duel links
Anti-Magic Arrows, Gravekeepers Vassal as well
And Master Duel selftk.
Thanks for clearing up Spirit Elimination, i never realized how simple it was with it’s weird text. Substitute mechanic? I did not know what it meant by it. I think my friend once explained it to me when it released, but i still couldn’t visualize it.
I kinda feel normal spell cards are usually the cards that constantly get stronger over time and always useful, so probably the list will be some of the OG normal spell cards (besides banned cards like pot of greed, graceful charity, monster reborn etc)
Nanana, considering the character on the card is Yuya... It's probably meant as support for the various Odd-Eyes Dragons, which do have some level 7s.
Specifically, it was a promo card celebrating the 777th episode of the franchise, which got a special intro focusing on all the protags up until then.
When I saw a card as bad as Hieroglyph at #9 I knew this was going to be fun. Had never heard of 90% of these cards, was fun to see how bad some effects can be :)
1:30 at least you can use those as just monsters ignoring their effects, The Forgiving Maiden even being a fusion material for St. Joan
@11:15 Shield & Sword also includes “vice-versa” in its text
I didn't even realize Curse of Fiend came out in the set that debuted quick-play spells. What a damn weird card.
Fun fact, though: There's actually been no official OCG/TCG ruling or card printing telling you that you have to set it for a turn. Instead, that's simply how it works in all the Konami video games, so... we just sort of count that as official. WHAT A WEIRD CARD
Parasite paracide is so cool we really need more cards like it

It's a beautiful day and one of my favorite channels right now just dropped another video. Here's hoping y'all are having a kick-ass day as well. High five!
With Calming Magic, if they ever release a monster with the quick effect to send a normal spell to the GY to copy it's effect, it would be a powerful floodgate on your opponent's turn.
😤😤 I want a video about top 10 or even 5 (because I think they are very few ) about generic cards that has the ability to return banished cards to deck as necroface for example, it's useful against runick.
1:36… I’m reading this for the first time just NOW, and I realize I accidentally collapsed this into my earlier “Nanana” retrain idea…. If I were to fix this, I’d just make it quick-play, and make it so you would pay increments of 500 to increase your hand size by the amount of increments payed for the rest of the duel.
That spell that discards 5 for draw 2 is also a lingering effect. It's only good going 2nd in Danger Darkworld😅
9:39 oh wow “contact” is actually worst then yeh anime version (which allowed Jaden to get a Neo Spacian for every one of the Crystallis monster he sent out. I mean the anime just for Jaden it was a cool anime gimmick but it actually got nerfed in the TCG (and the effect wasn’t even great to start with!)
True but it wouldnt even be good with its anime effect
Do a top 10 cards to put in any deck if you have the space for
( excluding hand traps )
I remember getting jade insect whistle as a kid and being really confused as what I was supposed to do with it. I didn't even have parasite paracide to work with it. But since I didn't have very many cards to begin with, I still ran it so I could have a full deck. I only ever played it face down in hopes that I could bait out an mst or that I could trick my opponent into thinking it's a trap card.
3:05 There are more cards which apply for the rest of the Duel, e. g. Sekka's Light.
I was almost expecting Pot of Generosity to be on the list.
List Idea: Best/Worst Lingering Effects that last at least two turns. If it needs to be more specific, you can probably do just ones that last the whole duel.
8:54 The Chrysalis monsters are useful when you combine Neo Spacian with the Spright engine, because they are Level 2 monsters.
For Spirit Elimination, does it apply when a monster banishes itself from the grave for cost? If so, maybe there's a non-once-per-turn effect out there that would be cool enough to attempt a janky combo with this.
4:53 Idea to make this a better card whilst still playing into the “7” thing:
*_NaNaNaNaNaNaNa_* (🪄)
Normal Spell
_All Level, Rank and Link 7 monsters you control gain 700 ATK/DEF. The first time this effect resolves, the following effects are applied for the rest of the duel (The following effects of _*_“NaNaNaNaNaNaNa“_*_ can only be applied once per duel):_
⚪️You can Normal Summon/Set level 7 monsters with 1 less tribute.
⚪️Your hand limit becomes 7 instead of 6.
⚪️During your normal draw, you can draw 1 additional card for every 7 cards that are on the field.

I hated Curse of Fiend when I first got it in a Magic Ruler booster pack,
but I hated it even more, when I kept getting it constantly in every Booster Pack I bought!
In this current meta trap decks running calming magic is pretty good cause you can break their boards without them floating into a bunch of stuff when specifically going against snake eyes (Flamberge, ip, formula)
Why not just play Heat Wave? The effect lasts longer.
@@citrusjuicebox yeah but you wanna be able to play on your opponent's turn so the length is more of a downside
Parasite paracide does give me an idea for an archetype that revolves around flooding your opponent's deck with bad cards lmao, not sure if something like that already exists
With Dark Designator, you can use it to add Maxx C to their hand and use exchange because everyone uses Maxx C.
Nanana was preemptively beaten by power creep in the form of Rush Recklessly which can give the same boost to ANYTHING as A QUICK EFFECT.
Completely unrelated (kinda)
I picked up the fallout commander precons then I ran across your mtg channel that I had no idea existed.
Then I got into mtg arena and it's insane how much more budget friendly it is over master duel
I think it would be cool if you sent out more community posts or link the channel somewhere at least
3:05 First time hearing about Time-Tearing Morganite, and the effect seems neat. In Master Duel, I use mostly pure Dragon Maid deck, so it makes me wonder if it's a good addition since none of the Dragon Maid cards have effect in the hand anyway. Though since I've never seen anyone use it, I imagine it's a "good in theory but bad in practice" type of card.
It's a card that reads as good, but games don't last long enough for you to benefit a ton from it and it prevents you from playing any hand traps like Ash Blossom, or in Master Duel, Maxx "C".
Yeah, it's not great in a competitive setting but casually, go for it.
Hieroglyph Lithograph could be useful if you need to reduce your own lifepoints for card effects that can only be activated when your lifepooints ar lower than your opponents
1:35 in a current deck i play, id love to have an upgraded version of Hieroglyth Lithograph. like idk maybe if it drew 1 card at least
Idea Top 10 Spell cards that would be improved if they were quick spell or make since if they were quickplay
calming magic's effect looks like something that could be ripe for abuse in the future if we ever get a card that can abuse it. 'Cause locking your opponent out of their turn is super broken!
Hieroglyph Lithograph: (1:34) Slifer, Obelisk, and Ra tablets
To be fair Dark Designator does have a niche use of allowing you to view your opponent's deck for free to verify that your declared target isn't in their deck. This would allow you better knowledge for siding and to set up a stronger board with specific knowledge of what your opponent is playing.
It also combo with D.D. Designator which allowed you to guess and remove the card you just added to their hand.
I'm pretty sure the same rule changes apply as Mind Crush, i.e. you no longer get to check the deck if the opponent doesn't have the card. Lullaby of Obedience, which is a better version of Dark Designator, doesn't let you check the opponent's deck either, after all.
Very few cards are left that still allow you to check an opponent's deck, it's pretty much just Nobleman of Crossout, which explicitly states to reveal the deck before banishing all copies.
In the anime, Dark Desginator was used in a tag duel. Because with anime tag duels. Your partner was also considered your opponent for some reason. It was uses so Dox can have Para add Sanga of the Thunder
I'm a little surprised Nanana didn't get reprinted as a Rush Card given how much Sevens emphasizes that number, even having the first theme called Nanananananana.
BATMAN
Spirit Elimination is the inverse of an actually cool card called Tribute Burial that lets you banish a monster from each GY instead of tributing 2 monsters for one tribute summon.

I had it in the smartphone game before the one on Switch came out.
I then realize it wasn't in that one after I got all the cards...
Seems to be TV channel reference?
Hearing you say you're skipping cards meant to be bad I thougt a video about top 10 BEST card originally meant to be bad(if any like that exist) it'd be a nice
I have one funny idea for Lithograph.
(Casual 1P Duel Links): you just keep paying LP until you can activate Soul Burner's Heat Leo skill.
If Burst Return bounce all monsters except Burstinitrix, it'd actually justify putting her in the deck.
How would shuffling a parasite paracide into the opponents deck actually work with sleeves of different types/color? I mean, is it really shuffling if you can always see where it is? I guess you would have to shuffle without looking at the deck at all
I'll recommend 10 Worst Continuous Spell Cards and Top 10 Worst Continuous Trap Cards, since they, surprisingly haven't been done yet.
Could use Dark Designator to call Infernity Archfiend, blanking its effect and putting a card in the Infernity player’s hand?
What if there was a card that had a non once - per - turn effect to banish a copy of itself from the GY to get rid of a card in your opponent's hand, and if it was banished from the field you could immediately special summon it back? Then spirit elimination plus that card would let you loop your opponent's entire hand.
For Jade Insect Whistle you need to put Parasite Paracide in your opponent’s deck before they began the duel, like having a child hold the deck of your opponent and add the card without they notice

You should do a video on cards that have only ever had 1 printing
Jade Insect Whistle would go hard in a deck whose win condition is decking your opponent out under Maxx "C". It's just weird enough that they might fall for it, where they'd be more wary if you just gave them a copy of MAxx "C" straight up.
Hero, glyph, lithograph when I was a kid playing with that card. I made the effect you pay 1000 life points, then at the end of each of your turns you draw until you have seven cards in your hand.
Spirit elimination seems like an anime card that the user has a boss monster that has to have a specific number of monsters in the grave
But on the subject of Burst Return, what if Bursinatrix got a retrain with this effect: "If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target a number of cards equal to the number of 'HERO' monsters you control; return them to their owner's hand." ?
You should tell your duelvlogs twin he should make a gimmick deck but it has to include every single spell mentioned in this video in the deck.
Burst Return is good in the sealed hero mirror match!!!
Me and my friend do sealed stuff online every now and then and burst return was legit in the duelist pack Jaden sealed

nah nah what if you spirit elimination with something like mezuki which isn't once per turn so you can resolve it more
Silly question, but wouldn't Dark Designator also have the weird Mind Crush clause where your opponent would need to show you their entire deck?
Lithograph was used in duel links for self burn
I feel like Hieroglyph Lithograph would be slightly better if, instead of setting your hand size limit to 7 for the rest of the duel, it was a +1 to your hand size limit for the rest of the duel. Now, I know that just looking at what I said, it may not look like much of a difference, but the wording makes a HUGE difference. By making it a +1 instead of a flat number, any extra copies put into the theoretical deck using it for more consistency would NOT be bricks. First use would be exactly like it is now, while the second use would make your HSL 8, and the third would make it 9. And in another theoretical situation, say you choose to recycle Lithograph afterward, you'd be able to push the limit higher still. Yes, the card would still be bad, but this small change makes it not uselessly bad like it is now.
I've seen what I call not alive decks (the yt unfriendly word) use number 9 in master duel. Funny enough they are usually the only decks I win against.
For some reason, I can see calming magic as a stall on an OTK deck.
Return of the doomed would be a decent combo breaker if you abuse sinister serpent or other cards that either revive or bounce back to hand
Spell cards list seemed st.Patrick’s vibe . Who’s the green card pot of greed?
*opponent is playing fire king snake eye* (activates dark designator) *calls snake eye ash*
I got you bro, just in case you didn’t draw your starter ❤ (starts making out)
Suggestion: best/worst 'token generators'
Idea: The least used objectively good cards in good archetypes. Like cards that are good, just don't quite fit the final playstyle or just cut for space.
Fun fact about parasite paracide. It poses a different issue, that jade whistle would just... Make pointless.
See in real life. Cards are sleeved. So now imagine putting your differently sleeved card into your opponent's deck.
This does create problems we only avoid, because of the fact the card isn't that good. (Outside of deck millers.)
I believe Paracide goes into your opponent's deck face-up, so sleeves don't matter.
1:46 I would like to add that if you needed to pay 1000 lp, you could play toon world instead, which is also very searchable, so hieroglyph lithograph isn't even good at losing 1000 lp
Dark Designator could someday see play if we're in a Tier Zero format where a Garnet is crucial to the plan. But, that'll likely never happen.
I don't think Calming Magic is necesarily super bad, since it may be used in a Deck like Tenpai Dragon, wich allows you to play mainly during the Battle Phase.
It can even be used on a 3rd turn Deck strategy, while you play decks like Dinomorphia, maybe Labrynth, or even Paleo, are some examples.
ok , seeing the first card in the listed. I know that duellogs set the bar really high.
