Before and After
This dragon doesn't matter anymore
The knight who rides dragons.
Number 95: galaxy-eyes dark matter Dragon Master Knight.
(#95:Galaxy eyes dark matter dragon/Dragon Master Knight)
This lord of lightning apparently couldn't meet the standards of his other royal brothers, bringing only 5 stars to his name while the other's had 6.
Zaborg the Thunder Monarch
(A level 5 while the other 1 tribute monarchs are level 6)
An archetype of food friends that would stuff Yuya's monster's until they would burst.
Cookmate/pal
This card was a generic Rank 4 XYZ monster that could cheat out powerful non-number rank 5 monsters that some decks weren't normally suppose to go into, getting out monsters such as Pleiades and Nova/infinity. This effect grossly overshadowed it's other effect that could skip your opponent's turn.
Tellarknight Ptolemaeus
This card was banned because it would slow the duel down significantly by essentially resetting it.
Fiber Jar
The original ultimate Wizard
When faith is best kept face down.
(Dark magician/Magician of faith)
This vanilla robotic fiend is absolutely useless in both archetypes it represents just by how it's named.
Scrap Archefiend
(Vanilla beatstick synchro monster.)
Used by a feline female duelist in Zexal.
Cats/Neko/Stray Cat
This synchro monster was used primarily as a board clearer because of it's generic requirements and was rarely around long enough to switch monsters into attack mode and drop their attack to zero.
Black Rose Dragon
Its no wonder this card got banned for it's near limitless revival ability, especially when it had no real hard restrictions. Mostly used to help spam out multiple copies of Quasar Dragon.
Level Eater
DAILY DOUBLE!
The knight infused with the power of the immortal phoenix.
The knight in his restrained suit of iron.
This magician of flames gains attack from monsters of an archetype that don't belong to his own.
Flamevell Magician
(Gains attack from ally of justice monsters.)
Funny that his deck sported the first fusion pendulums shown in the anime, and yet they weren't even the first ones to be made official.
Spirit gem/crystal
No one used this card's entire effect at all, it was merely used as a stepping stone to immediately summon it's evolution monster.
Cyber Dragon Nova
A popular staple that was used in rank 4 engines because of how it could be cheated out with instant fusion, and then rewarded you with graveyard revival. It was just to much gain.
Elder entity Norden
Not a Jack, or a queen, but a.
A Splashable link 2 with backrow removal.
King's knightmare phoenix
(King's Knight/Knightmare Phoenix)
This Flame attribute ritual monster has good effects, but because of how this archetype works in bringing out their stronger monster's full potential, it would require running 6-7 other cards to fill the deck to make it viable, thus not making it worth using.
Salamangreat Emerald Eagle.
(Reincarnation ritual summoning would require pre-preps, multiple copies of itself and ritual cards. To costly on deck balance)
Used by a Vrains antagonist that sported every type of attribute, and based on the mythical reptilian multiheaded monstrosity.
Highdive/hydradrive
This 0 atk/0 def pendulum monster had two effects. One effect is a searcher that would help facilitate the archetype's field swarming potential. Which explains why no one bothers with the other effect to return one of that card's archetype to the hand.
D.D. Savant Kepler
A victim of the coming of the link era where it got pre-emptily banned as being a 1-card link 3 monster.
Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow
This dark link monster has arrived
A synchro monster that required a tuner but was good because it shuffled cards without targeting.
The arrival cyberse @Ignister Prominance, the blasting Dracoslayer
(The Arrival Cyberse @Ignister/Ignister Prominance, the blasting dracoslayer)
From your host's own favorite archetype, this clear eyesore is unfit to run because it would normally require a tribute to get out, or wasting a cheat out special summon to get it on the field, where it's lackluster effect wouldn't be very helpful either as it's primarily a level 4 engine.
Raidraptor Wild Vulture
(Level 6 monster.....seriously konami wtf?)
Why did we get the earth A.I.'s cards when the Wind one many more cards then he ever used?!
Stormrider
This dark machine monster had the ability to foolish an archetypal card, and summon tokens....so why does it have an ability to turn itself into a tuner when the deck was mostly focused on link/XYZ summoning?!
Girsu the orcust mekk knight
This card got banned due to complicated ruling issues that would often lead to bad sportsmanship to keep it from resolving.
Victory Dragon
