Joey's arc truly embodied the story of many of us back in the day. First, we didn't know what we were doing, and filled our decks with useless garbage, misplaying all the time. But eventually, we learned and adapted... by shoving a Jinzo into our deck and let it carry us.

Yeah, that's why I feel people need to give Yuma more credit cause Yuma is also a reflection of young duelists getting into the game but being really bad at it and too stubborn to listen to their mentor's advice. Sure Yuma is "annoying" but his story is very relatable to many kids trying to get into the game and while he relies on Astral's advice a lot, his final duel against Astral was a perfect way to genuinely show how much he has grown, relying on his own Gagaga deck and the one Utopia card he was allowed to have to secure a victory. Plus his Zexal morph was super cool even if technically it didn't do anything except act as a "Skill" which would allow him to use the Zexal cards, but his Shining Draw was also a skill anyway and Skills are a thing...in the Speed Duel format. XD

Thus even though the characters are total opposite in maturity, people who relate to Yusei could look back at Joey and smile thinking "Man I wonder if I played my old deck now how good I'd be? Maybe there was a strat I just overlooked back then?" Sounds like a good time for a memory lane duel. I personally found out I REALLY Love Rex's dino cards a lot cause I just love dinosaurs.

That's exactly the issue of why Joey's cards are so bad. His lack of strategy and initial non-inclusion of any spell/trap cards is from inexperience, but his bad cards are from lack of money. In the manga it's shown that the dad he lives with is a drunk and in debt when he got onto a (rigged to lose) game show to win some money. Since he doesn't have the cash for the good cards, he has to rely on gamble cards or cards with a harsh cost to get the same great effects that people like Kaiba get for free.

Not sure if it'd count as a "bad card that Joey used", but one of the riskiest Spell Cards he played was "Roulette Spider". Don't even know if it's been released IRL, but I know that it had an even higher risk of backfiring on him than Time Wizard. Joey used that in his first Battle City duel against Espa Roba on the latter's ace monster, Jinzo, where it was spun like a roulette that would only stop when Espa told it to. There were FIVE potential targets. Two of them were the duelists directly while the other three were any of the other monsters on the field, with Espa making a comment in his head that Joey's deck was so lame that he had nothing to lose. Upon ordering Jinzo to stop spinning, it pointed at Espa's only other monster: Reflect Bounder. Both were destroyed because of Reflect Bounder's effect while winning Joey the duel.

A lot of cards are deliberately made bad to be pack filler or for the sake of an anime moment. Despite how careful Konami is about ensuring the cards are balanced (within thier own archetype at least), it's clear some cards are better than others, but a LOT of early game cards were simply terrible even for the time. Even as a kid most of us knew what metal morph on it's own does, the ONLY benefit to getting Metal Dragon out is you could tank a 2700 opponent but...that's literally it. and you're likely going to run it over with Red eyes anyway unless it has some protection or a potential equip destruction. So nich of a situation I could only see it happening in the earliest Yugioh.

If this card battles, it gains ATK/DEF equal to half the combined total ATK/DEF of 1 monster on the field. _Red-Eyes Black Iron Dragon_ (DARK) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Machine/Effect _Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your Hand, Deck or GY) by Tributing1 "Red-Eyes" monster equipped with "Metalmorph". Cannot be destroyed.

He always explains the strategy around it and how to use it if it happens to be your favorite card, but why you likely wouldn't see it used in serious duels. That and I REALLY appreciate him mentioning Duel Links a lot more, as it's a lot more casual friendly and has it's own meta so a card that's terrible in the TCG may be one of the best cards in Duel Links due to the pace and power level and that's the way us Duel Links players recognize the cards. (Link monsters aren't nearly as powerful in Duel Links due to the powerlevel of the cards released so far and the limited board space. Most of them are either attack modifiers, or archetype specific and a lot of the loops are impossible in Duel links due to key cards missing from the game entirely.)

Block attack can still have utility over book of the moon for exactly one reason. Flip effects. You probably wouldnt wanna use the book on an enemy monster with a flip effect because then it could use the effect again.

i remember buying the warriors triumph structure deck and using gearfried the swordmaster. its was a good time. we had a kid like weevil who only used insect decks. we had some dude in his 30s who could afford all the expensive cards. people back then didn’t use the internet to copy the best meta deck and you had to build your own decks. being able to build a good deck instead of copying the deck someone won with is a lost skill to many card game players nowadays.

If anime-exclusive cards counted, Compensation Mediation would easily make this list. Granted, it might actually be a somewhat less mediocre card if *you* got to choose which cards were on top of the deck.

You know the list of cards is going to be dire when a 2400 ATK vanilla fusion monster is considered the second best card on the list. As an aside, the funny thing about Insect Queen is, if I'm not mistaken, Joey never uses it in the manga because of how detrimental its effect is. In fact, Joey is typically a lot more analytical in Battle City, since I recall Tristan asking why he didn't take Mako's Fortress Whale instead of Legendary Fisherman, and Joey pointed out that it'd be worthless without the Ritual card.

Considering this is about the anime, I would say that Leogun should not be in the list as the only time it was summoned was before tributes were required so a 1750atk monster that you can just normal summon isn't actually half bad for the time, it just got screwed by the field bonus But honestly, Kaiba is right, Joey actually........really sucks, I like the guy but his deck is awful during the whole run of the series if you count only canon material Joey's best duels were during the Dartz arc, as it was only up to that point that he managed to get a deck with any sort of theme around it, too bad that during the Kaiba Grand Prix he got screwed again by his bricky hand of useless high level cards "But he almost beat Yami Marik"....did he tho? I mean yea you can say that Marik got plot armor because Joey just needed to survive long enough to just declare an attack with Gearfried but really....Marik was obviously toying with him all duel, clearly just wanted to prolong his suffereng during the shadow game as Marik's level of play vs Joey is nowhere near close to everything he prepared against Yugi, yes at the end of the day that hubris could've costed Marik the win but honestly, Joey deserve to be placed above Marik, HELL HE DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE IN THE FINALS, I'm not trying to sound like Kaiba here, but really, the only reason he beat Odion was because Marik ordered him to stall until he summoned Ra in order to prevent the others from discovering his real identity, Odion had his boss monster ready against a Joey with a literally empty field and yet did nothing for like 3 turns just to wait until he drew Ra and after that, did Joey managed to defeat the fake Ra using the free turns Odion gave him? No, he literally only won because he stood up after getting hit with magic lightning, had the real Ra not gotten angry and attacked Odion there would've been no way for Joey to do anything to win And why was Joey left unable to do anything against Odion and forced to pass for a bunch of turns? Because his deck fucking sucks, the idea of Battle City is to win the opponent's rarerest card and strengthen your own deck, and other than Jinzo, Joey won some of the worst cards out there which of course he had no support for Jinzo at the time is pretty much a staple, even if you don't run any machines it's still a 1 tribute 2400atk monster which allows you to negate all traps thus preventing your opponent from stopping your attacks, the only deck in the DM era which would not like to run Jinzo is ironically the person we just discussed, Odion AND EVEN WITH JINZO JOEY COULDN'T HONESTLY BEAT HIM But Legendary Fisherman? (and supposedly fortress whale but Mako was a dick and didn't give him the ritual spell) a 1 tribute monster with low atk for its requirements and no way for Joey to use his effect And Insect Queen a 2 tribute weak monster with a cost in order to attack (as if he didn't have enough of that with panther warrior) which I think only manages to destroy like 1 or 2 enemy monsters during its whole existance within his deck and every other time is just a dead card in his hand Like, he didn't NEED to add those monsters to his deck, they made it actively worse But honestly, I could maybe forget all that, I could forget how Joey even during the non canon arcs which I already stated are where his best duels and skills are shown, is still shown as an idiot who needs Yugi to constantly save or like in the Grand Prix arc, little Yugi literally has to teach him (THE SEMIFINALIST OF DUEL KINGDOM) how are chain links resolved (maybe this was just for the viewers, but they could've have Yugi teach that to Tristan or Tea, or EVEN BETTER have JOEY be the one who teaches it), I can also forget his over reliance on luck becuase, he has a pretty good track record, I think he only gets legitimately screwed by luck (without the opponent cheating) 1 once in the whole series (but don't quote me on this) I could forgive all that, but what I can't forgive, is the fact that even by the end of the series HE STILL HAS FUCKING BATTLE WARRIOR ON HIS DECK, A FUCKIN USELESS 1000atk warrior who NEVER, EVER, IN THE WHOLE SERIES, DOES ANYTHING, IT IS USELESS 100% OF THE TIME, and he never takes it out of his deck, like if he had no access to better warriors, the most common monster type on the game, it's like if in the ceremonial duel between Atem and Yugi, Atem suddenly summoned fucking BEAVER WARRIOR I fucking hate battle warrior with such a passion, yes, Joey uses weaker monsters than it, like Swordsman of Landstar, but at least he can support SoL with gracefull dice, because in the anime instead of adding attack up to a max of 600 like in the TCG it Multiplies the monsters attack up to six times BUT it can only be used on a monster with 500 or less attack, so SoL is the perfect candidate to benefit from it, no wonder they are pretty much always used together But....in a cruel twist of fate, Battle Warrior is actually too "strong" to be able to benefit from graceful dice, but Battle warrior sucks at being good and sucks and being bad, it literally sucks at sucking, fucking waste of paper or whatever material the cards are made in the anime for Kaiba to be able to bruise people's hands by throwing one at them He is cool dude and good friend but, again, Kaiba had it 100% correct, he is a 3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck because indeed his deck is worse than him Fuck Battle Warrior, worst card he ever used, and probably worst card anyone ever used in the DM anime

If this card is fusion summoned: You can special summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra deck that mentions “The Claw of Hermos” in its effects, ignoring its summoning conditions. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can have this card gain or lose Levels equal to the number of cards you control, and if you do, it gains 200 ATK/DEF for each Level gained or lost. These changes last until the end of this turn. You can shuffle 1 card from your hand, deck or GY into your deck (Quick Effect): Toss a coin and call it. If you call it right, destroy 1 card on the field. If you call it wrong, Your opponent can destroy 1 card on the field, except this card._ ATK/2500 DEF/2400

I’m surprised that Compensation Mediation wasn’t even mentioned in the list Not only is that card basically a luck chance card just to negate an attack But whether or not you get the benefit, your opponent gets to have 2 cards from their grave and back to the Top of the deck. So while you would know that the card they’ll draw as it’s in the graveyard prior, it’s still more of a benefit for the opponent than the user. At best you get lucky and end the battle phase. Worse case, you still get attacked, your opponent gets to keep 2 cards from the grave to the deck, and there’s literally negate attack if you want an attack removal trap card

In theory couldn't you build a deck around Dangerous Machine Type-6 to turn most of it's negatives into positives? Like... you discarding or destroying cards, aren't there decks that could use that? The only one that could be considered a legitimate downside in most all decks is "Your opponent draws one card" But, I feel like somewhere there's some obscure card that would allow you to substitute the opponents draw card effect(s) with Cards of your own choosing. That way you could pretty much sabotage them by giving them worthless monsters they can't do anything with.

This just reminds me why the OG YGO anime was so cool, since before the battle city arc they didn't really have a good grasp on their own rule set and the animators weren't exactly sure how a battle flowed beyond summon monster > attack > Stop once LPs are 0, so they used interesting ways of giving each card special interactions which, if im being honest, led to some pretty bullshit combos (and i loved it). Battle city started to follow the official rules so it allowed everyone to update their deck enough to fit those rules while also keeping their identity.
