Yu-Gi-Oh has come a long way since Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon, and currently features over 10,000 different cards.

With such a wide array of choices available, duelists have discovered hundreds of different wild and wacky tech options that can be used to strengthen certain strategies, or be used to counter others.

So let’s look at the strangest tech choices of the past year, if they’re any good and why they managed to see any amount of play in the first place.

[HybridAngelZero]

Yu-Gi-Oh is wonderful because you can pull some random common that's over a decade and a half old out of the shoebox under your bed and be like " *this* is gonna be the tech that breaks the meta" and be right

[ace-trainer-aj]

Messenger of Peace's maintenance cost is borderline illegal

[dorugoramon]

Using neko mane king to not only negate an effect via grapha but also end the opponents entire turn is hilarious.

[sekaihunter]

Before the new Dark World support came or when siding against Ishizu Tear is mandatory, people actually played Neko Mane King as a turn skip in decks that can establish Union Carrier and Artifact Durendal. You would equip Neko Mane King straight from the deck with Union Carrier and whenever opponent activate anything during their turn, Durendal would change that effect into destroying the Neko Mane King. And since Durendal's effect works similarly to the Dark World cards, Neko Mane would be able to trigger its effect and skip opponent's turn. The reason this turn skip saw no competitive plays was because it was really easy to out. A single Kaiju or anything happen to Durendal can stop the turn skip easily. And when Union Carrier was banned the strategy also died out.

Neko Mane King has a good effect. It’s just awkward to activate.

Beat Cop has always been a decent card. It’s a generic link 2, it just gives you a bonus effect if you use specific materials

[Red-mgro]

Every time a tier 1 archetype comes out without a reliable counter in the other tier 1s, people panic and thing "oh no, it's gonna be tier 0, this is Nekroz all over again!" but then someone who's been waiting for this for 15 years goes "finally, it's time for Slime Toad to show its worth."

[melvinshine]

I don't know what those ghosts at the end were worried about, you can't die if you're already dead to start with.
I never, ever, ever, EVER, would've guessed D.3.S Frog would see play in a competent deck in any sort of fashion.

[faerris]

for beatcop, i like using her with a lair of darkness in a labyrnth deck so i can tribute opponents monsters for the protection or tribute them with virus cards

[Nocturne]

YGO would never be the same once they realized just how strong Stormfront Gyarados was…

[Hugelag]

List ideas:
Top 10 cards that see play outside of their archetype
Top 10 cards that don't fit in their archetypes
Top 10 extra deck monsters that require other extra deck monsters as materials
Top 10 splashable extra deck monsters for each type
Top 10 worst mill cards
Top 10 stall cards.
Top 10 generic pendulum cards.
Top 10 special conditions in the games.
More Rescue Rabbit, please.

[DavidEllner]

A dope idea would be a video on best extra deck cards that are also pendulum. I feel like so many random extra deck cards had scales even though I never bothered to see if viable since they seemed to complicated.

[Shinde]

Imagine activating messenger of peace and thinking you’re safe from Zeus only for your opponent to drop a number 2: ninja shadow mosquito on you. 😢

[Shotgun.Philosophy]

The problem with neko mane king is that… yeah it ends the turn for your opponent but your opponent could still chain to neko mane king which basically means it did nothing because your opponent is possibly still going to end on a big board which makes it useless. Also your opponent can try to play around very easy if he knows that you are on neko mane king by not activating the effects of his millers and since tearlaments can also mill without their ishizu millers

[DoctorFalchion]

Imagine if we had a card that was a cross between Neko Mane King and Parasite Paracide that you could shuffle into your opponent's deck and would end their turn if they drew or milled it.

[AwesumVloggin]

Assuming this includes the OCG I expect mushroom man #2 on the top of the list.

[brandoncastellano]

I wonder if the ghost is how devbot ascended beyond his mechanical form.

[crestfallenhussar]

So sad their will never be a part 2 because Mr. Logs died as a ghost at the end of this video. Who knew advertising his other content would be so catastrophic.

[blazolekic]

Neko mane king saw competitive play in dark world decks where you would gift ceruli guru of dark world to your opponents side of the field
Whole process is really easy to acomplish in dw decks

[Supersonc]

Best fusion spell/traps that don't have fusion in their name. (E.g invocation, dragonmaid changeover, void imagination, destruction sword memories, ect)

[devin]

A fun tech I use for my unchained deck is dark spirit of banishment. Free discard fodder cause it adds itself plus it's a kuriboh that can summon the dog and force them to hit it which is great when they destroy it
