I've noticed some annoying, stupid crap in the recent Top 10 Lists. So, in my classic satirical style, I have composed a Top 10 List of them.

10. Starting With #1

This is annoying. It's not how a Top 10 List about ANYTHING works.

9. Lower-Casing Everything

This isn't List specific. These are people that are afraid to sound remotely professional or formal about antyhing, lest be mocked as a 'good speller' by their also-idiotic AOL friends. Learn to use a keyboard or get rid of your computer. Period.

8. Listing EVERYTHING That Clears the Field

I'm not kidding- I've seen Final Destiny on a couple of lists.

7. Rants Cut Up Into Sections

Take all your points, put them in paragraph format, and send it to CCG Tips. Is that so hard?

6. Sexiest Female Monster Lists

What's wrong with you people?!?!?!

5.  So-And-So Would Never Say Lists

I forget the name of the schmuck posting these, but they're annoying. Oh, I WOULDN'T mind- if they were any funnier than an old Scooby Doo episode everyone's seen rerun 500 times.

4. Made-Up Card Lists

Pojo, I beg of you- MAKE A SECTION JUST FOR THIS STUFF. It's crowding the Top 10 Lists, and some people just don't care.

3. Lists Confusing the Game and the Anime

I've seen too many lists talking about how much they wish they had a Crush Card. I don't think these kids are talking about the Japanese version.

2. Listing Several Staples and a Bunch of Random Cards

If Raigeki is going to be on your list, so should Monster Reborn. And Change of Heart, and Dark Hole, and MST, and Pot of Greed, and Graceful Charity, and Witch, and Sangan. Either make your 10 Best Cards all-staples or don't count staples. Not to mention the fact that you see Raigeki at 5 and Jinzo at 1, which suggests the latter is a better card...

And, now, finally...

1. Listing Black Luster Soldier Higher than Chaos Emperor Dragon

AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! They're both broken- but for the love of all things holy, just because Yugi uses a variation of BLS, it doesn't change the stats! CED is better. Period. And not just with the infuriating Yata combo- (which entirely justifies the coming ban on Yata) it can win the game single-handedly with COMPLETE ease. BLS, you occasionally have more damage set up than CED- but you usually don't, not to mention the fact that BLS has to put up with Traps, and doesn't have the inredible game-reset aftermath of CED's effect.

And so, my List is complete. I sense e-mails coming from both those grateful and those insulted- so, dragonlord_raptar@yahoo.com

Try me.
