This four-letter word, which is used on cards whose purview is two cards at once, is found on every single Igknight monster.

Rather than ban Kitkallos, Master Duel has neutered tear by cutting off access to a dozen tangentially-related cards, including this two-star archetypal monster.

This extremely rare FIRE Sea Serpent was one of the first members of its typing to find its way onto the banlist.

The best deck in the TCG is PROBABLY Maliss, which has more top finishes than any other strategy at present thanks to both new in-archetype support and extenders from this Cyberse archetype with incidental synergy.

This selective term is found on about a dozen cards total - and usually in parentheticals, followed by (...is higher). What can compare?

This old-format staple was recently moved to limited from banned - due in no small part to its incredible animation. Hopefully the TCG can weather what's coming.

TeamSamuraiX1 has over 3 million views on this video, in which he bought all the Yu-Gi-Oh! packs at THIS big box store.

Featured in a recent Master Chef decklist, this "banishark" would make Jesse happy - if it was ever summoned.

This evil archetype has returned to metagame relevance after the release of support in Alliance Insight. Sweet!

This operational term, used to denote a monster in addition to another, is only used on Astrograph Sorcerer and Chronograph Sorcerer.

Despite our constant whining, Msater Duel does balance a LITTLE around Bo1. Case in point, they've banned this field spell floodgate. Thank goodness, or we'd all be playing Clara and Rushka.

MegaCapitalG's most-viewed video isn't really his at all. It's instead a reupload of a recent Worlds finals, featuring a mirror match of this deck.

Domitianus is a DARK contact fusion from this archetype - though usually, you'll be cheating him out with Tamer Editor.

The Regenesis Monsters - powerful maindeck bosses akin to Kashtira - were localized into the TCG to remove references to this holy Jewish compilation.

This term, used only on Hyper Psychic Blaster, serves a similar function to the more frequent "difference." Why be so negative? 

Surplus

Only two Pendulum Monsters made it onto the limited list - Astrograph Sorcerer, and this card. It's kind of a floodgate, if you squint.

Despite its name, this big boss of the P.U.N.K. monsters is a Sea Serpent.

Mitsurugi is the new hotness, with dozens of tops between Ryzeal builds and Pure. In part, it's so flexible because the only lock that sees consistent play is this in-archetype monster with a Kaiju effect.

This compound term, which only appears on Insect Soldiers of the Sky, has also largely been replaced in common parlance with "when."

I'm SURE Joshua's on the banlist team - especially since this Cyberse Extender remains semi-limited, years after people were interested in Code Talkery.

Jesse Kotton's most-viewed video isn't what you'd expect - it's a rogue tier list with this XYZ monster appearing right next to a barfing emoji.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is still hanging onto metagame relevance - though it looks much different from its master duel counterpart. Importantly, it's recently started playing this retrain of Luna's ace monster.
