Top 10 best rares of Yu-Gi-Oh!

This is a list comprised of MY opinions. I could care less what you guys think.

At least you guys card a little.. You did click on this link didn’t you?

10. Magician of Faith – Metal Raider

She ruled the battlefields from MRD and up. Sadly as flip effects are coming to and end MoF will too. A lot of people still use her, but running her will slow most decks down. Her effect is nothing to scoff at. Bringing back restricted cards to your hand is just evil.

9. Pyramid Turtle – Pharaonic Guardian

What useable Zombie monster has over 2000 defense? None` that I can think of. PT can bring out helpoemer, spirit reaper and almost any zombie card released in the future. Run 3 when using a zombie deck. He’s pretty much a staple in those types of decks.

8. Hayabusa Knight – Pharaoh’s Servant

The ability to attack twice per turn is amazing. But with a weak attack of 1000 it won’t stay on the field long with out protection. Hayabusa obviously owns if equipped, although many decks run 3-4 equips (Premature burial, snatch steal, united we stand and mage power/axe of despair) Some decks don’t even run equips making this card useless.

7. Nimble Mononga – Magic Ruler

Not only do you get 1000 per nimble destroyed, after 1 is destroyed you get 2 more! Great defense, and great for thinning out your deck. Sadly Spear dragon owns this card, was you would lose 700 life (if attacked in face down defense mode), instead of gaining 1000.

6. Spirit Reaper - Pharaonic Guardian

Another awesome PGD card. You cannot destroy it with a monster, which makes this card amazing. It can either stall for you, or it can go on the offensive and disrupt your opponents hand. (Which is an amazing ability too have.) He’s nothing to laugh at. Unfortunately cannot use Call of the haunted, premature and ALL EQUIPS on SR. His obvious belonging would be in hand disruption type decks. And even beatdowns if they are so brave..

5.5. Gravity Bind – Pharaohs Servant

I was just about to send this in when I forgot about one of the best stall cards in the game. Gravity bind has so many decks based around it, that it’s not even funny. The power to stop all level 4’s from attacking is the ultimate stall and makes Elves and Goblins sit idle. Great card for any kind of weenie burner, burner, fire princess deck, exodia, etc. the list goes on.

5. Mystic Tomato – Magic Ruler

The ability to bring out any dark type monster with less than 1500 attack is far short from "useless."

He can bring to the field: Don Zaloog, Witch of the Black forest, Sangan and spirit reaper. All 4 of those should be in a hand disruption. This card will guarantee you a card on the field and is worth at least putting at least 1 into a deck that runs the cards listed.

4. Cyber Jar – Magic Ruler

Clears the field and gives you 5 cards. What more to say? If you get this attacked in Facedown defense mode just pray that your opponent doesn’t end up getting 3-5 monsters and you end up with getting 0-1. Not a good thing. It’s a flip effect creature that almost every beatdown is running. Although most control type decks do not run it (yes you get 5 cards, but then so does your opponent) it is still a good card none the less.

3. Sangan – Metal Raider

Exodia decks rely on it, warrior decks rely on it, control decks rely on it, many beatdowns rely on it, every deck relies on it. It’s a little under witch of the black forest, but being able to find any monster with an attack under 1500 is amazing. What can you get? Let’s see.. yata, zaloog, ANY of the rare- monsters that I have listed, injection, all exodia pieces, exiled force, sinister serpent, the list goes on and on. You might not need sangan if you are running witch, but it deserves to be high on this list no matter what.

2. Witch of the Black Forest- Metal Raider

Many consider this the best creature card in the game. I agree. She can get almost any beatdown type card out there. She is a staple in all decks. The only people that don’t run her are the people do not have 1. There is no excuse why you SHOULDN’T be running 1. She’s easy to get and she just came out in the SDP starter.

1. Pot of Greed – Legend of Blue Eyes

1 card that makes you draw 2 cards. It’s a 2 for 1 deal! How can you NOT use this?

It’s not only the best rare, it’s the best card IN THE WHOLE GAME. ‘Nuff said.

 

 

Honorable Mentions:

Bottomless Trap Hole

Magic Drain

Book of Moon

Reckless Greed

Flames are welcomed just be articulate when you do so.

(If you do flame me, you will be flamed back.)

Off topic but..

Some annoying pronunciations:

It’s Magic CYLINDER, not "cylinders"

So what if there are 2 cylinders in the picture. Read the top of the card.

It says "MAGIC CYLINDER" NOT "CYLINDERS"

Someone already ranted about this but I will too.

The next person that pronounces it "Hah Dez" is going to get slapped.

It’s HADES, as in the lord of the underworld.

God..

Sasuke Samurai

It’s not pronounced "Sazuki"

It’s pronounced SASKE "sas" = Sauce "ke" = keh

Anyone that watches Naruto would know this..
