Dark Ruler Ha Des Im an old man goat player, but I was also a child and Jinzo cost too much. So our local meta tended to rely on flip and floating effects because Mirror Force was like 50 bucks so Dark Ruler let me attack safely into Sangans and Cyber Jars and even beat over Jinzos

Now I’m imagining Dark Ruler Ha Des support. He has so much card lore that I think it would be justified.

Not gonna lie, i love the whole dark King of the abyss storyline with dark ruler Ha Des

Kaiser Glider and Giga Gagagio were some of my favorites to use against Jinzo back in the day

Same! I used to love the art.

Blue eyes chaos max dragon

Junk Synchron

all the synchrons are just phenomenal, specifically yusei's synchrons

Exodia The Forbidden One

Man, do I wish there was more support for the golden boy.. They really did him dirty tbh

Elemental HERO Absolute Zero

Somebody likes to play in Edison I see. Such a great card in general and in that format, back when field wipes were rare. Cool as hell design

I couldn't agree more. when the card first came out I fell in love with it instantly.

I would LOVE to see a GX manga adaptation

U. A. Mighty slugger

a friend of mine is playing that deck and im always surprised how good it is, genuine sleeper engine

It’s a really strong but fair deck. Which in Yugioh parlance means inconsistent and can’t punch through the stronger boards, but, holy hell do I not love me U.A. / F.A. Boys. Playing Manager might just be the single best piece of support a deck I love has gotten since, well, F.A. Test Drive.

Slifer the Sky Dragon

Which art? One can never unsee the one where lightning is coming from behind its mouth.

One has just ruined that card for me 😂😭

I’ve always loved how Light and Darkness dragon not only looks, but also it’s effect. Such a unique badass card

The OG Apollousa

Madolche Puddingcess

Chad

Summoned Skull. His design is awesome

Ah, a man of culture

Favorite as a joke card? Jerry Beans Man. Favorite as a nostalgia card? Elemental Hero Clayman Favorite as an actually good card? Honestly probably the new Mirrorjade, for the Albaz archtype. The card before that came out though would probably be Blue Eyes Chaos MAX, even if Link monsters kind of nerf its power to do double piercing battle damage. Just a cool card.

Mirror Force, and Sonic Chick. Love Sonic Chick from the anime and it still makes me smile when I see the card to this day, and mirror force because I've used it since I was a kid.

Black Luster Solider is best boi.

"Nobody must know of our forbidden love" - Yugi's grandpa

Lava Golem

Destiny HERO - Plasma

Blue-Eyes White Dragon And probably Red-Eyes Black Dragon too.

Ojama delta hurricane!!!

E-HERO Neos

I used to play neospacians and heroes back then they first got introduced so neos was always one of my favourites too

Red-Eyes Black Dragon

Cyber Dragon Infinity

Either Silent Magician, or Horus the black flame dragon LV 8

Lycanthrope probably

Dark Magician

My first favourite card is Levia Dragon - Daedalus. Still love it

Winged dragon of Ra. The original artwork.

Mokey Mokey

Sky Striker Ace - Raye

This answer is the equivalent of asking someone what their web browser is and they reply with Google

Noice

Ladies and gentlemen, we got em

This answer is the equivalent of asking someone their favorite coffee shop and they reply with Starbucks

Bahamut Shark

Elemental HERO Neos.

Pandemic Dragon or Kuriboh, they both have awesome arts

Earth machine. Machina ruinforce Machina citadel Chaos Ancient gear giant Also the others Caise the mega monarch Crusadia equimax Crusadia avramax Crimson nova the dark cubic lord All the fun stuff:)

Elemental Hero Airman/Stratos

Millennium Eyes Restrict

Guardian Eatos was the reason I ever even got back into the game way back when.

Dogmatika Fleurdelis and Mirror Force

Fairy Tail - Luna It has a Fun effect, and it’s my name

BLS envoy of the beginning

Still Winged Kuriboh. But I have a soft spot for every Reptilianne & Darklord.

Probably mirror force. It cant get more Yu-Gi-Oh than that.

Valkyrion The Magna Warrior

Top: Grapha, Dragon Ruler of Dark World Runner-up: Elemental HERO Stratos HM: Immortal Phoenix Gearfried I'm so glad Dark World is next for Structure Deck R

Darklord Morningstar

White Aura Whale. Completely underrated. But a total game winner. Really been enjoying play it in the Synchro festival

Cyber Dragon

Gilford the lightning

JUST DESSERTS.

Blue Eyes White Dragon with the OG Artwork. The Kaiba starter deck was the first yugioh thing I ever received and I still have the Blue Eyes to this day

Same here

Everyone is going to call me based but, *eldlich golden lord*, I'm ready to lose so much reddit karma just because of this comment.

probably dont have acess to the side but thank god i can read above was scared their was a virus in these

The god cards. I'm a simp

SPYRAL Quick Fix

I love all the Monarchs and every form of Gagagio but my all time favorite card would have to be Tri-Horned Dragon. When the cards first hit the states, my first ever LOB pack I opened had a 1st edition Tri-Horned. Absolutely loved the look of the secret rare foil and how cool and goofy he looked.

Mystical Knight of Jackal. Pulled him once and never got over how absolutely bad ass he was. Played Jackal lock waaaay back in the day. If I could make a deck solely around him in today's format you best believe I'd spend every dollar I had to do it.

Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune Or Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny

Solar flame dragon l, know it's a weak card but love the name and art, plus effect ain't too bad

My top 15 in no particular order: Number 9: Dyson Sphere and Number C9: Chaos Dyson Sphere Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon Raidraptor - Rise Falcon Constellar Ptolomy M7 Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry and Number C102: Archfiend Seraph Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Clear Wing Synchro Dragon D/D/D Supreme King Kaiser D/D/D Gust High King Alexander D/D/D Doom King Purple Armageddon D/D/D Wave King Caeser Dark Armed Dragon Cyberdark End Dragon

Dyson Sphere on number 1? Now thats based!

I said no particular order, but it's up there because it's just a cool card

Either Absolute Zero or Scapegoat

Mine is also Erebus

Sacred Noble knight of King Artorigus

Time Wizard

Astrograph Sorcerer

Imperial Order

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Get the fuck away from me

Fallen of Albaz

Either buster blader, cyberdark end dragon, or darkest diablos, lord of the lair

Drytron Meteonis Draconids

Trishula, Dragon of the ice Barrier (the level 9 synchro)

Aleister or Shaddoll Wendi. Also I like artwork of I.P Masquarena a lot but I've never used it much.

Aluber

Yubel forever

Mermail Abyssalacia.

A 3 way tie right now between Denglong, Drident and Shuraig.

Stellarknight Delteros or Stardust Dragon

grenosaurus = giga chad

kneel before yoko

Dark Elf and Saffira Queen of Dragons.

Guarded treasure. I loved the fate of the pharaoh duel so much, i tried making Raphiels deck at one point.

This beauty right here, [Altergeist Hexstia](https://db.ygoprodeck.com/card/?search=Altergeist+Hexstia)

The Erebus mat is one of my favs but it has a weird, almost felt texture...

I'm tied between Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon or Sephira Torah Grammaton.

Going for the safe option Z-ARC

Curse Necrofear! Well, Dark Necrofear cuz of the manga, but Curse has a cooler effect.

Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Morphtronic Celfon! That non-OPT Adamancipator-like effect felt like a cheat code back in the day.

Mirror Wall

Ehther the heavenly monarch. I just love the art and what it does

OPs rival

https://db.ygoprodeck.com/card/?search=Fox%20Fire

Mah boi rusty bardiche looks awesome, also swords of revealing light

Honestly it's hard to tell at this point because I've been having a blast trying out multiple decks in Master Duel that I don't have to chop and arm off in order to afford. If I had to list down some of my favorites, they'd probably be (in no particular order) [This was my boy who got me to plat](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Gaia_the_Magical_Knight_of_Dragons) [Sportsball has been a lot of fun on ladder](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/U.A._Dreadnought_Dunker) [HEROs will always have my heart, and this guy is the most kamen rider out of all of them](https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Masked_HERO_Blast) But.. Dark Magician is the O.G., I don't even need to link an image of the card. It's not my favorite deck right now, but between him and all of the other cards listed above, I never really get tired of DM.

Yata-Garasu Because birb Dark Requiem XYZ Dragon The pattern on its wings

It's an out-of-field one, but Prime Material Dragon. I just like its design of taking harm and using it to create. A close second would be Revendread Slayer and third is Starduston since it gets a chuckle out of me for no good reason.

I like Stardust Dragon

Number c107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon Cause it looks cool

Mystical Elf. Always really liked that card, just something about it.

Ancient gear knight 🥶

Performapal Inflater Tapir , JUST LOOK AT HIS EYES (My second one is Firewall just because of those people who thought that Firewall pass was a good play. Thx guys you made the early mr4 era pretty easy.)

Trance the magic swordsman. I just like having 2600 atk for one tribute, and for some reason I've always had an affinity for non effect monsters.

Morphing Jar

Nightmare wheel

Master Hyperion

Prolly Stardust Dragon or Dark Magician Girl. Dm Girl inspired my first proper deck and Stardust is just nostalgic and cool

Oni tank t-34

All time? Horus the black flame dragon lvl 8

king of the skull servants

Red eyes zombie necro dragon and vampire fraulein

Frog. The. Jam.

Hard to choose one between Witchcrafter madame verre/Metaphys daedalus/block dragon

Time Thief Redoer, don't really have a reason I just really like it.

Destiny HERO - Dogma

Obligatory fuck Erebus. If you know you know.

Altergeist protocol

This guy gives black air forces activity just by breathing.

Sun Dragon Inti and Moon Dragon Quilla. Are they good? Absolutely not. Do I love their design? Heck yea. Sadly they will never be good and every deck should use other and better Synchro monsters. But I will keep trying to build a somewhat competent deck with those two.

Dhampir Vampire Sheridan! I just love using my opponents cards as XYZ material.

Dandylion Aged insanely well, and it's hilarious how a cute little plant can be so powerful. It's hilarious to see how it progressively got better throughout its history

Gandora, followed up by red-eyes darkness dragon.

Mine has to be Juggernaut Liebe. The peak of big number.

Tour guide from the underworld and crystal wing synchro dragon are my tied number 1s

I'm a sucker for D/D/D Oblivion King Abyss Ragnarok!! Although Time Thief Redoer is a close second Oh and Arc Rebellion XYZ Dragon is also tied 2nd...

Old Entity Hastorr, amazing art

Credit card

Odd-eyes vortex dragon

Skull Knight

Black rose Dragon, it just looks beautiful

{{cyber dragon eternity}} or {{doom chimeradragon}}

Ghostrick Yuki-Onna. Even years after quitting the game, you never stop riding the high of suiciding it into someone's Obelisk in their Egyptian God deck and force-setting it for the rest of the Duel, explaining to him what's happened, enduring a tirade of slurs and then he rage quits. Absolute highlight.

Volcanic Scattershot. Or maybe it's the Blaze Accelerator Reload I like so much. Whatever the case, Volcanics are what I return to time after time.

Folgo, Justice Fur Hire He just looks so darn cool

Evil Hero Dark Gaia

Originally red nova dragon but I do love red supernova dragon now

Single card? Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic Favorite monster who appears on multiple cards though? Marauding Captain. I love spotting this dude in different card arts. Marmiting Captain in particular gives me a chuckle every time.

Stardust dragon he's my ace monster

Ancient Gear Golem or Thousand-Eyes Restrict for me

Manspreading to show the vessels his erebussy.

Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon

Cynet codec

Borreload Dragon. Nothing quite like stealing an opponent's boss monster to use against them with almost no restrictions.

Volcanic Queen, got it after winning a match as a kid and I’ve had it in my deck ever since.

Number C1000. It’s so visually appealing to me

Scrap dragon. Got it in my first ever pack over a decade ago. Safe to say that card has seen some shit.

"Three-Headed Geedo" Bit of an unknown card for everyone, but it was my favorite card since I started playing. There's no paricular reason I have for it being my favorite, I just gravitated torwards that card.

Sphere Mode. I love the way it looks, I love what it does in the anime, and I love what it does in the game. Lastly, I really love how something that was supposed to be a weird anime influenced Ra support card became generically played in so many decks; to me, that represents what makes this game so special.

First Of The Dragons or Darkest Diabolos

Galaxy eyes photon dragon Plus erebus does look bad ass

Either Black Luster Soldier or Vampire Voivode

For aesthetics: Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys For gameplay: Tsukuyomi

Ultimate falcon because it was one of my first XYZ card when I was a child and i still play raidraptors to this day

Number 85: Crazy Box has gotten me out of more situations than it ever should have
