Top Ten Monsters List

Since people seemed to be trying to put magics, traps and monsters all on the same list (which you really can't..) I decided I'd try and make an all MONSTER list so it would be fair. This is just my opinion, so if you people have something against it, then whatever. Also, I am not including Exodia, even though you do consider it a monster, the thing has 5 parts to it so it is not included.

#10. ) Bazoo the Soul Eater & Last Warrior From Another Planet. Number ten on the list is a tough decision since there are too many cards you can put at the bottom. But I chose to put two cards at #10. First one is Bazoo the soul eater. This card is one of those great cards which people underestimate. Level 4, with the capability of getting up to 2500 atk..the same attack as our favorite fiend, summoned skull! The weakness of Bazoo is Kycoo, which would prevent him from gaining his bonus's because of the no-monster removal rule. The other card I would chose at number 10 is the only fusion monster on this list, Last Warrior from another Planet. When you play it, you have to make sure you use support cards, or else he can't do much good. (Such as imperial order, and some trap negation.)

#9. ) Exiled Force. Okay, I don't care what most people think. Man-Eater Bug is definently not as good as Exiled Force. This card's effect cannot be stopped, and it is a quick and easy man-eater bug. The reason it isnt up there on the list is because the effect has to be during your turn and thats what just makes it bad.

#8. ) Marauding Captain. Haha I've put way too many LoD cards in this top 10 list.. oh whatever. Marauding Captain is at number eight. I love his effect. Being able to special summon a level 4 or lower monster can help add firepower, or clear the way for your heavy hitters. The best use for him though, would be to bring out Exiled Force (number 9) which would kill off an opponents monster.

#7. ) Summoned Skull. I had to put Summoned Skull in here, because everyone who has ever played duel monsters knows that this card is one of the greatest. for one sacrifice, you get a beastly 2500 atk monster who can trample practically any other one sacrifice monster. Some weaknesses I see is a deranged bazoo the soul eater who would suicide into summoned skull, or of course monster removals but thats the case for every monster. You can fetch him out with witch which is great, but there are other monsters which should be taken before him.

#6. ) Sangan & Witch of the Black Forest. I had to put these on the same level, because they practically serve the same purpose. Sangan and Witch of the Black Forest are at six, because of their effect. They let you bring out game winning cards, like those in this list. On some levels, WotBF can be better by just slightly because its meant to bring out bigger hitters such as Summoned Skull, Jinzo, etc.

#5. ) Injection Fairy Lily. The next card I chose is Injection Fairy Lily. This deserves the spot at top 5 because of the +3000 atk effect. If there are no monsters, this is a great card because of the direct damage. The downside is that if you are low on lifepoints, this card is no good to you.

#4. ) Dark Ruler Ha Des. The fourth card in my top ten is the fiend ruler, Dark Ruler Ha Des. I've been destroyed by this card many times ever since LoD came out, and it is one of those extremely annoying cards. The fact that he tramples any effect monsters makes him that good. The worst is when you're hit by him and jinzo at the same time, gah.

#3. ) Fiber Jar. This one was hard to come up with, but I believe that Fiber Jar has a spot up here as one of the top monsters in duel monsters. I've been on the dealing and recieving end of this card, and when played at the right time, can either win you the game or change the outcome drastically.

#2. ) Jinzo. Number two, I have mixed feelings for. but I still think that Jinzo deserves this spot. I've been destroyed by Jinzo several times, and its a very powerful card. No traps make most people vulnerable to it, because everyone relies on the greatest of traps such as Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, etc.

#1. ) Yata-Garasu. The absolute number one monster is Yata-Garasu. No other monster can completely lock the game down and get you the win. His stats do not matter, because of the effect, I believe he has the right to be at the number one spot. Draw phase is the most important part of the game, and when he eliminates that, it is over.
