Gorz was a perfect pick for the list since everyone still has that habit of attacking with their smallest monster.

[TeamAPS]

Hope you enjoyed the video and gave it a Like! These are just my picks! What cards do you guys think changed the game the most and why?

[TheNewGenerationKW]

I still have PTSD from the days of Gorz, I still always attack with the weakest monsters first because of that thing. xD

[thefrogger]

Black Rose was a pretty big sploosh and kept being used for quite a while

[salzburysteak]

Solemn warning really was and still is a game changer, unbelievable card

[mcbride]

I don't know if this is necessarily meta-defining, but I would also include Cyber Dragon. Although it wasn't something you specifically had to be prepared to play against, its effect did bring in the idea that monsters could be easily Special Summoned from the hand with little requirements, which is something that so many decks, meta and non-meta do.

Mechanicalchaser, those extra 50 attack points were totally busted

[stephenyates]

Honestly I feel like Norden deserves a place on the list. He made Instant Fusion a staple for so many decks and stands out by making Instant Fusion basically a 1-card Synchro/Xyz play. Because of Norden you can completely turn the game around just by topping Instant, and that's meta-defining in my eyes. You always have to consider the fact that your opponent can make that play from nothing

Thank you for adding in my suggestion of Stardust Dragon. :)

[heroesofthescape]

I think Exciton Knight was a huge one. The ability to mount a comeback because a generic Rank 4 was huge.

Great, informative yugioh content!

hey I've watched alot of your videos and I just wanted to know what kind of decks do each member of aps run? I may have missed a video saying this but I was just curious. maybe you should do an aps history video lol. stay with me here #potential

[faarisinamdar]

what about scrap metal scarecrow or level limit area b?

[davidlebender]

I think evenly matched will play the same mind games as gorz now

[kodytiffany]

was not heavyly used in tourny but for me specificly assault mode stardust was one of the first cards I went against that really sucked and made me want to surrender (I do not surrender except when I know that no card in my deck can save me). Such a jerk move summoning this card is.

[jonathanvisser]

Gorz is the reason I have trust issues.. >__>

[BK-wlhy]

Can someone explain the card eradicator epidemic Virus i dont Unterstand the Card?

[axmix-]

Half of this video is you saying "like" and "uhm"

[alexisthetransgenderduelis]

i still dont Really agree with the uostart theory ( namely Cause it allowed me win games i lost purley Cause i could get more solemns or in some Cases they couldnt OTK me and i got the game for it )
