Here is my personal ranking for all of Innova's existing molds! This video is obviously highly subjective, so if you disagree with any of my opinions, I totally understand. Please leave a comment below to share what you'd do differently!
Here's the tier list template if you'd like to make one of your own!

Firebird and destroyer are both great, the rest I've heard of quite a lot because the pros use them so much. It seems the eagle and teebird are used a lot by the pros.

Can’t trust this guy for this reason
Just for starters, the hated Dragon makes a GREAT Roller for beginners, also if you power down it gives great distance with very little effort. AND IT FLOATS ! Honestly, the fact that you haven't throw a majority of the Innova molds why even do this?
I'd spotted the Rat on the shelf and considered many times, just pulled the trigger and VERY pleased with that mold. Small diameter, smooth rim with no curve-in, flat top makes it great for forehands, and nice stability to work lines. FANTASTIC underrated disc.
I can't believe the roc isn't in the Mando.. it's notorious for being the midrange that started it all. It's such a great shot shape disc. It's a wooded players must have.
I prefer mostly Prodigy discs, but a Destroyer, Wraith, and Roc3 will always be in my bag. Although the Destroyer and Wraith I could throw F2s or Fx4 instead, the Roc3 is completely unreplacable to me.
Cool vid but kinda crazy you are making this list with a lot of very popular discs going in havent thrown category! Eagle and dart are awesome
The wraith is literally my favorite disc too
Mako3 is the disc I would bag if I had to play a 1 disc round to save my life.

I have a habit of getting people custom starter sets (usually DX aviar, star aviar, champ Mako3, star leopard 3) and I always tell people to really mainly use that mako3 for the first year. It's a great teaching disc.

Facts
I bag both the stingray (-3 turn mid) and cobra (-2 turn). Both are reliably understable for mid-range turnover shots when I need them to hold an anhyzer or turn slowly to the right (when thrown flat) to get around obstacles. Then I use a mako3 or wombat3 for straight mid-range shots, and roc for overstable/hyzer shots. Mids are great for approaches.
The Judge is arguably the best disc I've put in my bag. I immediately started saving strokes. I switched from the DX Aviar. It's rim was just too deep for my hand. I tried a Judge, loved it, went straight online and ordered 5. I got them in the classic blend. I use a couple as throwing putters and a couple for putting putters. Great vid. Liked and subscribed.

Completely agree about the Aviar! Was always so uncomfortable for me
if you like thunderbirds and firebirds... you'll appreciate an FL. Right in the slot distance wise and easy to control. So many extinct molds worth mentioning too.
Hearing people describe the rat, and watching a cardmate ace with it in the last tourney I played it, makes me want to try the rat... Thunderbird & Firebird are probably mandos for me, and maybe the teebird. Atlas is always my underrated straight flying mid, as it's really the only mid from Innova I like to bag. The mirage is sickkkk. Probably always going to have one in the bag. It's basically a baby uplink
I love the atlas man it Flys so straight with a nice fade at the end.. its def beginner friendly but my buddy that is semi pro, bags 2 of them and he can do anything with them..
I carry 3 Beasts in my bag and I love everyone of them. One is champion plastic and 2 in DX. One of the DX is beat in so it’s more flippy than the other DX which is more stable. The champion plastic is more over stable than the others.

I bag 3 beasts as well. My DX is flippy, the Star is fairly straight with good fade, and the champion is overstable.
The roc is best disc innova makes and one of the best discs ever

I HATE the Mako3….but it’s been so ridiculously crucial for me getting better that it is mandatory for me to have. It feels like crap. I have a hard time getting it to go straight at all. When I do, it has some distance though and perfecting that continues to help me throw other discs better. The leopard I love and consider that to be mandatory as well.
The Jay is a great midrange! Also the IT.
Can't throw a destroyer so he likes the boss...
I feel like the 14 speed discs like the Colossus and Corvette should be used depending on the skill level
Man, get a halo savant ASAP. Mandatory. It's what a thunderbird should be. Super similar to straighter runs of the thunderbird.
Most of this is reverse of my personal preferences , I’ve thrown most of the haven’t even thrown , so overall I’d change it up a bit
You haven’t thrown a Gator or Eagle or Wombat? You’re missing out! Also, the Roc should be in the mandatory bin if you ask me.
Not a fan of the Leopard since 6 speeds are an inbetween class of discs. The Hawkeye which is a 7 to 8 speed I prefer, still need to throw the IT which I've heard is very understable.
loved your intake, I think it’s funny all these people saying you don’t know what you’re talking about as if you can’t have a different opinion lol, keep up the good work:)
If you really like the Firebird you should try the westside Ahti (Tournament plastic). I like it better than any Firebird I’ve ever thrown. It’s the perfect amount of over-stability
I prefer the FD3 to the Firebird but then again Firebirds vary greatly depending on plastic, dome, PLH. Also prefer the DD3 to the Destroyer. Very similar though.
I realize that tier lists are entirely opinion, and I'm not saying that you're necessarily wrong for having the opinions that you have, and I also understand that this video is almost a year old at this point. However, one critique that I will offer is: if you're doing a tier list of one manufacturer, you can't really compare discs to another manufacturer. A tier list of one would be for building a bag of that particular manufacturer. You put the firebird as mandatory because "there's no other disc from any manufacturer that does what it does." Being a primarily Innova thrower, I know that a DD Felon is (number-wise) basically the exact same disc, and a Discraft Raptor is only slightly different (slightly more glide & marginally less fade). Plenty of discs can fill the slot of a Firebird.

Every manufacturer has their firebird clone, so yes. I think it's silly to say the most popular overstable fairway that's copied time and time again is the only one of it's kind. Quite ignorant actually. I personally like the feel of a Fireball better. And even the name is a ripoff of a firebird 😅
I have to give more love to the Wolf. Even though it's DX, it still has stayed consistent for a long time for me. I even putt putt with it sometimes. I have hit so many 100 footish shots with it that my buddy keeps saying..."Oh was that that Wolf again". The most versatile disc I have even thrown by a good margin.
That is a pretty large section of disc's you haven't thrown.

They are all slightly more beat in or different molds or plastic which affects how overstable or understable they are
You haven't thrown nearly half my bag! 2 discs I don't hear about often enough are the Gator, which I greatly prefer to the roc and recommend for anyone with a snappy fairway release. Or the Daedalus, its a great understable driver that's easy to throw, and flies the way a katana is supposed to fly.

The Dragon is so much worse than any other disc I have ever thrown it deserves it's own category.
The destroyer should be in mandatory, its the best distance driver of all time. Although there are many distance drivers that are the exact same or very similar its the OG, its the distance driver that all manufacturing companies try to replicate.
The cheetah is criminally underated or never thrown. It's such a solid disk for all kinds of shots.

The fact that every destroyer is different is what makes them so good. It makes minimizing molds so easy. You can have cover the shots of a PD2, Zeus, Shryke, and Hades all with one mold.

Very true, the destroyer is a disc that would would probably have to pick out in a physical store. You can feel the wing and dome to sort of get a feel how it would fly 😀

And when you lose it, you can never replace it! It's much better to have different molds with different flight paths that are consistent.

Dude the Eagle does n't even make mandatory or very good....
Boss super consistent? Wow. I have had ones that flip always and ones that are like bricks. Some are domy, some are flat. One had insane glide, therefore it overshot the basket by 30m and went into pond - on the first shot.
If you have a physical store, destroyers that fly the same is easy to find, just have to check the dome and underwing shape, if its an aggressive curve towards the flightplate and domey, its OS, if its domey with a kind of neutral wing shape its perfect for 500ft hyzer flip throws😍

In my opinion the XD and Classic Roc are the best Innova molds, wish they were still in regular production 😔🤷. Thank God I have a fresh pile of both molds but over the last 28 years it's getting pretty low and the used piles are steadily getting bigger 😂🤷.
I putt with an xt nova, I love it for putting
I'd agree with alot of this except to me a Rat is mandatory I love that disc and wish more pros would throw it so we could get a champion rat lol

You miss at least on disc and that is the wedge it's a weird disc but very good

Mandatory innova molds for me are destroyer, and leopard.
The wombat3 and cheetah are nice discs. Both are more understable than their flight numbers would have you think in my opinion. I'd love to get my hands on one of the halo plastic wombat3's that Dave is sporting in this video, kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKWsmo-MZ5XLqJc.html. These are good discs for beginners, slower arms as well as more advanced players.
Nova felt like auto griplock for me. To the point where my bad habit has no swayed to early release.
Have this friend who lazer beams dx archangels forehand. I've never seen anybody else throw so far and straight.

if more than Half of the innova discs end up in "haven't thrown" maybe don’t make a tier list. just food for thought wraith being mandatory because "it’s a destroyer for slower arm speed" is hypocritical for not putting the destroyer in mando by the way. destroyer, shryke, and tern not in mando is just silly. I understand you can have your own opinion, but your opinion is wrong :)

Perhaps you should throw more of the molds then redo your video. Also it would be helpful for newer players to be able to visually identify the discs after you have placed them on the board. Also “ bag” is traditionally a noun not a verb.
