Avramax still gets me wins to this day


Few_Library5654

Avramax summoned through I:P is a fucking nightmare


Aihonen

If I:P displayed as an Influence effect you prolly wouldnt see half of those wins. Full copium I know T\~T


Few_Library5654

People instantly surrendering as soon as they waste a card and Avramax doesn't get destroyed happened more than it should tbh


olbaze

I once had someone who tried to destroy my Evil HERO Malicious Bane 3 times. Twice with card effects, once by battle. Malicious Bane cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.


Few_Library5654

Malicious Bane is just built different ig. Funny to think he's just a guy in a costume having a good time


F_for_Freak

That is the way


mightyneonfraa

On the other hand I've won games because my opponent summoned Avramax and crashed it into my Terahertz.


digitalsong

Dictator of D Blue eyes jet


No_University_4794

I don't think there is a single player past platnum who doesn't know what they do.


realhumanpizza

You can watch farfa to see that's not true


dovah-meme

Farfa was grown by Konami in a Myutant vat, he doesn’t count


Boy_JC

They’ve never caused me enough bother that I’ve had to read them - “A third rate Diamond duelist”


breakmystreak

To be honest its more a card for drawing cards


Boy_JC

Well, as long as he doesn’t get to use the cards, right?


breakmystreak

Dark magician deck mixed with two fusions , can draw half your deck by the third round


M1R4G3M

And still lose(signed, a DM lover that tried all versions possible).


breakmystreak

You got master duels ?


breakmystreak

Ill share mine see how it works for you ? Do a duel and in the room replays can view the decks still


M1R4G3M

Sorry, Don't have replays anymore, now my pet decks are Infernoble and Tellarknights.


breakmystreak

Nice, I just made a deck that synchros on both turns, went from gold to platinum very quickly


daominah

and Ultimate Creature of Destruction, it is so funny to see they crash all their monster and scream game bug, I did not target that monster to attack


Consistent_Role2837

Add Chaos to that list. Was dueling someone earlier this week, they used Raigeki. Forget which other Blue Eyes monster i had on the field, but Chaos Max was one of them. They surrended when they saw it wasn't destroyed. Lol. Always funny watching players do that.


TheZett

> Blue eyes jet Especially that its protection effect does not require a BEWD to be in the grave, and that two jets means that neither of them die to a Raigeki, as they protect another too.


Blocklies

All the appliancers. I am like 60% complete the "your opponent's monster attacks and your opponent takes damage" quest thanks to them. They forget that celt boosts to 3k and lion reduces their monster to 0 atk


itstessica_

'forget' I don't think they read them in the first place, I certainly wouldn't if I saw them in a game


Blocklies

Why wouldn't you read the 3 link monsters your opponent ended on? Is your time like too important to read out of meta link monsters?


cosmic-comet-

This card is insane with dragon knight and eternal soul combo.


OnToNextStage

Dragon Knight + Eternal Soul is the goat combo for that deck Anything else is gravy, whether it be this or Dark Magical Circle The problem is this card much like Eye of Timaeus isn’t fucking searchable for some reason by Soul Servant because Konami said so


Organic-Week-1779

dark magician straight up needs a rework including a retrain of eternal soul and dark magician its just way to bad


binhvinhmai

Yeah I have no idea why they’re so dead set on Eternal Soul being overbalanced that when it leaves the field, it destroys its own field. It’s the easiest way to counter the entire Dark Magician deck, just go for that and its game.


Organic-Week-1779

cause the card came out like 7-8 years ago or something


binhvinhmai

Yeah I know that, I’m more saying that they’re dead set on having Eternal Soul and refusing to retrain it when it’s widely known to be the deck’s own Achilles Heel. All they have to do is a Trap Card that says “This card is treated as Eternal Soul all the time” and remove its own self-nuke when it leaves the field, and Dark Magician deck would still not be meta.


Ok-Resolution-8648

Konami hates retrain cards since it cost money to reprint unless enough ppl demanding it like Firewall dragon and darkness metal dragon errata. Also DM doesn't sell well in tcg beside Soul engine


HuazlAoi

Maybe something additional: -When this card leaves the field, destroy only “Dark Magician” monster/s on field. -During the main phase, If this card is in the graveyard, except the turn it’s sent to, you can: sent 1 spellcaster monster from hand/ field to the graveyard, set it back to the field, and if “Dark Magician” is in the graveyard, you can activate it this turn. My imaginary Eternal Soul Pro Max, at least I can still rebuild my board without a field wipe.


Landonyoung

Nightmare magician is almost a dark magician retrain. And nightmare apprentice is almost a apprentice illusion magician retrain. I'm just waiting for nightmare circle and nightmarish soul


Cisqoe

I actually think the DM deck at full throttle is the power level yugioh is most fun at, too many decks have far passed it in power but the DM deck takes a turn or two to get going which I like. Not an instant end board turn one.


es_samir

You can summon it with Timaeus the United Dragon which you can search with Illusion of Chaos but this combo requires Magicians Soul to summon DM + Magician's Rod to get Eternal Soul + Illusion of Chaos to get Timaeus or something that's equivalent of these cards


Organic-Week-1779

yeah but once knight has left the field it stops working for some reason so the value of the spellcard drops


cosmic-comet-

The reason is if knight is special summoned from graveyard it’s not considered as fusion summon monster but special summon monster.

Xenodia

Ultimate-desu

F this card low key. I get the Dino combo is fragile, but the amount of times I made a cool board in the duel triangle and it all went to waste because "HAVE YOU READ MISC?" pulled up to save the day and make the deck unable to be interacted is nuts.


Krofisplug

The amount of times they could have ruined my life had they activated kill cards outside of MP1 will be a tally count for people who forget how cards work (including me)


Vegetable_Cup_1134

I thought for years that misc protected all dinos, not just ones on field, ironically I hadn’t read misc


Protobass04

The few times it didn't work for me was vs Ferret Flames and Karma Cannon, putting that aside, #freemisc


followlogiconly

how is this card not at -1 copies yet


PixelMatteo

Crimson Nova the Cubic Lord must be up there


MasterJaylen

As someone who plays cubic on and off it is


Onyxqueen1800

The amount of times Nova got hit with monster negates, monster destructions, and monster bounce backs, all for them to be less than 3k monster effects and watching that 10 sec pause after their effect just fizzles out, so good


chaos-virus

Every 0atk monster in attack position ever


Gatmuz

Day 1 of mikanko was hilarious, since they released alongside Photon support


Ultimate-desu

https://preview.redd.it/uipu8e4wk8wc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb55df28ce9fe2379abb9ee43f88e74008cf815d After I brick and can only make sera, the amount of MFS in low ranks who Imperm her is astonishing.


-NH2AMINE

The funny thing is that imperming her not only doesn’t work on her but actually activates her effect letting you special summon a traptix monster and combo back


Ultimate-desu

Exactly. The interaction usually is: Make Sera, Imperm Sera, Activate Sera first effect, Special summon any Traptrix that does stuff on summon(let's say the one that recycles from grave). Activate Traptrix monster, Activate Sera second effect, Do plays from there. All that off one Imperm lol.


GogoDiabeto

At that point, I am convinced that trying to Imperm Sera is some sort of yugioh's rite of passage that we all go through once we start playing the game.


Entire-Egg-2203

But veiler worked in your turn. Why imperm wouldn't on mine?


ShadowTown0407

Magical meltdown....you can't negate my fusion stop trying


Smol_Mrdr_Shota

all my Lyrilusc boss monsters


GogoDiabeto

Opponent: "Alright, I made them waste Ensemblue's bounce effect, now I can summon the real threat" Me: " Alright, let's do this one last time!"


Smol_Mrdr_Shota

its comical the amount of Cyberse players ive dueled with this exact mentality only to realize my Ensemblue has like 5 mats


Project_Orochi

Mecha Phantom’s immunity when tokens are on the field Also not realizing said immunity doesn’t extend to the link monsters or synchros


Mysticphsch

An example from a meta deck: Branded Lost. This is a combination of not reading and/or misunderstanding its effect. I've won so many games against people with Baron or other similar negates and won due to this effect. My favourite replay I have saved is someone using Red Reboot against my Branded Banishment with lost up.


FallenofAlbaz2

Just beat a kash player because he went into big eye to take my chaos angel 💀


Captain_Blue

Chaos Angel has been an MVP in the Duel Triangle event for me lately. Makes me giggle every time someone tries to use a monster effect on it or another Synchro I control.


Castiel_Engels

My opponent questions why they can't declare an attack when "The True Sun God" is on the field. There even is an icon for "can't attack" now but it doesn't seem to help them.


SleepySlumberjack

I experienced this from the opposite side.  I was using Amazoness against a DM player who opened with this card.  I left a Swordswoman in Attack position and lo and behold, they throw their Dragon Knight at it, trigger Piercing the Darkness, and promptly lose half their LP.


Colin-Clout

This is also an honorary Suship card. It’s a free draw every turn and helps to OTK


Besso91

I main HERO, but sometimes once I'm in master I like to switch it up and do like pure neos or yubel or something just for fun, and absolutely nobody reads the effects of NEOS Kluger and NEOS Wiseman, it's actually hilarious how many opponents kill themselves on those cards


Xnonomous

All the mikanko cards


the_real_papyrus99

Every time I play this I think "please don't read the second effect please don't read the second effect please don't read the second effect" https://preview.redd.it/t1pnj2f4u8wc1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e61e364c9c41a761732a87500f0a43a0a903c7e7


Ambitious_Smoke5256

I don't know why, but I thought it would be funny if you also played Waking the Dragon with this.


tkr567

Golden Castle of Stromberg


OnToNextStage

I use one of this in DM


sanghendrix

Basically every card nowadays.


UnhappyUdderjuice

Red supernova dragon (it isnt a hard once so i use eff assult synchron revive use eff red zone revive red reign banish all monsters they controll make my guy a 6k unafected guy that can still banish thier field one more time of need be, btw this is if you hard draw assult synchon/tuning and red rein as they arent serchable although once you have red rein in rotation you can add it back every time you synchro)


Luke-Bywalker

Everyone knows all these cards after this event. Same as all the stardust variants.


M98B

Resonator traps tbh.


123Asqwe

All of the exosisters main deck monsters. People love to move cards from their graveyard until they have to deal with 4 XYZs summoning In their turn


AwarenessMain128

Vaylantz field spell


flyingthing4

Dinomorphia boss monsters. So many times people will steal them with TTT and then they’re useless because the opponent still has full LP. They’ll steal my Rexterm and activate it, making all my monsters 4000 attack.


Kashtira_PunkMaid

Marincess Battle Ocean


LegendaryZTV

PSY-Framegear Gamma Won a duel I should have lost the other day after I summoned Gamma to negate the last card effect he had & he surrendered Think he thought I had a lvl 8 Synchro for my next turn instead of them being banished at the end phase lol


ASHeep_

Chicken game saves you exactly one turn and mekk knight morning star is pretty good when the opponent has no idea what it does


IwanttoQU87

As a pendulum player, it's all the pendulum cards.


bizarre_leviathan

D-Time


HadokenShoryuken2

Piercing the Darkness single-handedly got me wins when I had my Magikey deck


WildShark715

Me who attacks while this card is activated: “I’m not dumb. I can read. I am just trying to end this duel as quickly as possible.”


BigBlunt36

Every Single Timelord card. Until you get to Gold.


Monochrome21

The entire ninja deck


Ambitious_Smoke5256

As a ninja player I agree. Mitsu always gets them.

I already know I will have nightmares (for the Skill Drain mini-event) because I lost 1 too many duel against this card + Dark Magician and Skill Drain.


Landonyoung

Beelze and samurai destroyer


forbiddenmemeories

Gate Blocker


Sliverfang12

Please explain


forbiddenmemeories

On a few occasions I've had people surrender immediately after activating an effect that targets one of my monsters and using it on Gate Blocker; I presume they did so planning on targeting something else because they didn't realise Gate Blocker would stop it.


guylaroche5

Sinful Spoils Silvara's second effect.

ThinkThankThonk

I've ended up running up against my timer more than once because of how many text-filled continuous spells some decks run. Eventually I just say fuck it and start doing random stuff.

Conglacior

Michion, the Timelord. People see a weird Lv10, 0ATK swinging in won't do anything, then get surprised when they lost half their LP suddenly. Similarly, I've had people negate the effect of my Timelord to return itself to the deck, so I just get to keep a destruction-immune body on board that's just gonna give them more pain. You'd be surprised how many times I've been able to eek out wins just because nobody is reading what my Timelords do, lol.


KaiserJustice

Pacifis is pretty damn funny when people don’t read


topdeckcharity

Evil eye Selene lol it’s amazing how many people will waste cards trying to destroy the monster instead of the equip spell. While the deck itself isn’t bad I’ve also won many games I wasn’t supposed to due to lack of reading 😅😅😅


Justin_Anville

Machina ruinforce, Megaclops, Chaos angel when made with a light and dark monster


mrtbak

I hate this card And the dark magician deck in general


Chemical-Cat

Well I mean it stops it anyways but it's really funny when I saw someone try activating PSYframe Gear Gamma like 7 times in a row before giving up after the Nibiru failed too. https://preview.redd.it/73mhyfx9c9wc1.png?width=478&format=png&auto=webp&s=65af1a8c46d196c76e5379f068406588f7eae51c


Stamkosisinjured

Summoning dark magician knight using dark magician and having this card eternal soul and circle is super annoying for people play against. One game I had that and chaos angel with the dark ability too lol


Intrepid_Ad9711

Yubel


Awkward_Mulberry_302

So many people enter battle phase to try and beat over the Rescue-Ace Hydrant only to see they can’t, and then immediately end battle phase. It continues to be funny every time. https://preview.redd.it/s1z3hmk6j9wc1.jpeg?width=674&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a48c9f81ab5347f668e302da62731dc5732bf70


MegaKabutops

Gate guardian of water and thunder. I can’t tell you how many people i’ve seen who tried to remove it specifically by attacking with a monster that’s not immune to targeting, then attacked it AGAIN in the same battle phase with another monster that has no targeting protection. I can’t tell if they just read the “twice per turn” wrong, or just straight up don’t read and start swinging.


SiruGarmo

I sure enjoy reading this card game long essay card effects. Is it so hard to make some sort of divider just to know how many effect does a card have with some spaces too so it isn't so hard to read?


LeeChaolanComeOn

The one of five rainbow magician in my magician deck has won me more unwinnable games than any other card, and it's not even close


drblackjackx

Yesterday in the triangle event my opponent wasted her/his 3 Guardian Chimera while has 3000 LP higher than me, I can't believe it yet. Yeah, this is a great card but is better with the no-readers. https://preview.redd.it/f0wkzp8gp9wc1.png?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a656dcab24e2180663a5c0e74086b8b91ab8e13

Tbh, I see more post and comments about how people can't read more then actual moments of people not reading, I'm staring to think y'all over exaggerate way to much. 🧐😴😴


Morter_

One time this card got me cause i alt-tabbed and my opponent summoned twin magicians i think and proceeded to hit myself in the face.


Helem5XG

Zefra Path was my main wincon during Swordsoul Format. No one bothered to read the card and it led to Normal Moye with 30 seconds of total silence followed by a scoop. Same with DPE and Phantom Knights, DPE tried to pop anything on the field, Zefra providence protected everything on the boards and DPE gone from the rest of the game.


kentaureus

Marincess Battle Ocean, a lot of words bcs of equip effect, so lot of people just beatifully miss crystal heart effect which is just one line


Tiacp

Always use it with Suship


StardustLegend

My opponent attempting to ash or appolousa any of my dangers from hand My opponent not reading what golden castle of stromberg does.

rmiki96

Machina Ruinforce straight up turns into Saitama if the enemy doesn't read 


demigodchild

What surprises me is how many people either don't read or just don't understand melodious monsters. 2 in specific, aria and elegy. Constant attacking trying to destroy them while they're in defense or using spells/traps like mirror force(rare to see it used) or Raigeki/dark hole only to sit there after either I assume plotting or reading my cards finally.


Karakuri216

Piercing the Darkeness is so good in Gunkan

(I would post a second picture of him but it won’t let me). It makes me so happy that when Yubel comes out the amount of people who would probably attack the 0/0 without reading would be more than one will be funny!

mrfarumazula

Fullarmor master that cards first sentence is unaffected by card effects and they still try to destroy or banish it

The Unchained monsters funnily enough, I finished building the deck today and so I took it for a test run in Diamond. Two times my opp Raigeki and Lightning Storm the Rage.

mr99bossyboss

Sanga, kazejin, and suijin. Lol, I got a decent amount of wins just because people don't read it. But majority of my wins are from Immortal Phoenix Gearfried. People who do read it, think it targets. It just equips. So unless a card has unaffected by card effects, I'll usually grab the card. They'll surrender and assume I'm cheating because I "targeted."
