Forbidden Knowledge
This HERO monster has flip-flopped all over the banlist, but seems to want to chill at 2.
Destiny HERO- Malicious
Featured as an exclusive card in the 2020 mega tins, this monster is an untargetable and undestroyable force with non-targeting destruction and a negate built in. Whether you play a Dark Magician deck or a Predaplant engine, people will agree that this is the perfect boss monster
Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon
A searcher for 3 different archetypes: Performapal, Magician, and Odd-Eyes
Performapal Skullcrobat Joker
Leviathan Dragon
Number 17
The most represented deck in our group
Blue-Eyes (4 players, 1 ABC, 1 pure, 1 Blue/Red-Eyes, 1 Chaos Guardragon)
This Fusion monster was notorious for being the Tier Zero "Fusion Substitute Zoodiac" deck's enabler. While normally summoned from Instant Fusion, this card was actually summoned the hard way by Zoodiac and was emergency banned in 2017 due to its reborn effect.
Elder Entity Norden
Maximum Crisis introduced this card that dislikes the Main Deck functioning. This Hand Trap can negate any effects of a card that includes adding a card from deck to hand, special summoning from the deck, or sending from the Deck to the GY, and the best part is that it negates EFFECTS and NOT ACTIVATIONS, so using this on a Shaddoll Fusion stops it from being used for a whole turn.
Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring
This Pendulum archetype, which debuted in Extreme Force and later recieving support in Cybernetic Horizon, can give negation and other cool effects to Pendulum decks. It is noteworthy that they all have a Pendulum Scale of 4.
Mythical Beast
Utopic Draco Future
Number F0
The meta terror that took our format by storm that is an omni negate and can provide a unique way of monster removal.
Cyber Dragon Infinity
Banned in October of 2019 for making "Orcust" engines too splashable due to the card "Orcust Knightmare" having "Knightmare" in its name, and its easy summoning condition.
Knightmare Mermaid
This Trap, debuting in Flames of Destruction, is considered to be a much better Effect Veiler, being able to negate monster effects and if set, shut off a Spell/Trap zone for a turn. An added bonus is that this Trap can be activated from the hand.
Infinite Impermanence
While not really played in Pendulum decks, this former YCS prize card retrain of a classic card from 2004 uses its scale effect to recycle Dragons for the cost of 1000 LP, and it has the typical Chaos summoning requirement of banishing a Light and a Dark, although it can be from Hand OR Face-up Extra Deck
Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon
Draglubion
Number 97
Time Thief Redoer
Recently put to 1 in the OCG and 0 in the TCG, this monster could warp all opponent's monsters in their possession into an attribute of choice, stop those monsters from activating their effects, and stop a battle phase from happening. Yes, if it called Dark, you could banish a Frog monster (water) with Allure of Darkness
True King of All Calamities
Savage Strike brought in this monster that can special summon itself if there is a Link monster on the field as a quick effect, and then allows you to draw cards and fix your hand on summon. It also has a bonus targeting negate, and being a Dragon, it is searchable off of Starliege Seyfert discarding a Level 7
Fantastical Dragon Phantazmay
This card was the ace monster of a character in the Arc-V anime, in an archetype full of clowns. This Magician took 2 spellcasters as Xyz material but could give a second attack and remove a monster. Bonus: it gets a clown from the deck if destroyed
Performage Trapeze Magician
Shock Master
Number 16
A monster that can banish other monsters and use a unique protection effect to swarm the field if needed
ABC- Dragon Buster
Banned in 2005, this ruling nightmare of a Trap Card was partnered with "Jowgen the Spiritualist" to stop the card from fully resolving and for free wins, as long as a player had 1000 LP remaining
Last Turn
The most recent of all of these "Stonk" cards, debuting in Phantom Rage, is very similar to Evilswarm Exciton Knight, but instead of destroying, it non-targeting sends everything but itself to the GY. This card is frequently summoned with its alternate summoning condition onto an XYZ monster that can fulfill said condition by attacking directly instead of into another monster, such as Zoodiac Boarbow. It has a bonus effect of being able to recharge itself if an opponent destroys a card on your field by attaching a material from Deck or Extra Deck to it.
Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS- Sky Thunder
This card was responsible for the ban of Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom with Pendulum FTK, but also saw play with a "Legendary Planet"
Lyrilusc- Independent Nightingale
Diamond Crab King
Number 52
The reason you cannot just Megafleet the Dragon Link board or Kaiju it with Jizukiru. In tandem with Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy and Koa'ki Meiru Drago or Amorphage Goliath, this bouncy boy can tribute itself to return a card to the hand, rewarding its user with a free dragon from the deck, possibly setting up an un-outable lock for Light and Dark decks or any Extra Deck reliant deck.
Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres
