Top 10 BEST Classic Equip Spell Cards (Cards from before Synchro's came out)
Ойындар
Equip cards are the least used types of spell cards in Yugioh due to their lackluster effects compared to the strength of modern cards. However, in Classic Yugioh, where the game is a lot slower, equip cards see usage. So in today’s video we are going to go over the top 10 equip cards of Classic Yugioh.

My grandma didn't know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh, only that kid me liked to collect the cards. She liked to buy a pack or two and hide it under the pillow of my bed when I came to visit during holidays. Only once did she buy me a single card: United We Stand. I loved that card and it was a staple in my decks back in the day. I may have stopped playing after the 5Ds era, but I still own that card. One of my wierd mementos of my grandma.^^

5:21 famously this Guardian Eatos + Sword Eatos combo does not actually work at all and never has, it has been made fun of because of how ridiculous it is that a Guardian's signature weapon can't synergize as intended with the monster itself. Guardian Eatos will send the Sword to the GY as cost meaning the Sword will ALWAYS miss its activation timing because it's an optional when effect.

I love this game
Crazier combo: When you are have more lifepoints than your opponent, equip Megamorph to your opponents monsters to cut them in half.
Don't forget that you can put Megamorph on your opponent's monster as well. So if your LP are higher you have an equip spell that can halve the attack of any one of your opponent's monsters, making them much easier to destroy. Especially in early Yugioh when having a high ATK was sometimes enough to make a card viable, such as Blue Eyes or Summoned Skull and such.

Actually in Duel Links there was a crazy tactic called "Massive Amazon" that used a combo of Lava Golem, Amazoness Swordswoman, and Megamorph. You could alternatively use Massivemorph if you're worried about the Lava Golem attacking back.

@@nicolaistuhlmuller8718 Yeah, Blue Eyes was low-key terrible, but because of the anime every kid and their grandma wanted to pretend to be Kaiba and had 3 in their deck. It was so predictable you could just reserve a trap hole for your opponent's Blue Eyes and wait for them to tribute summon it. That way you could have 1 trap hole remove 3 monsters at once. And then you add something like Monster Reborn to steal their Blue Eyes for free. Even as a kid I've never run Blue Eyes because it seemed so obvious that it was a net negative. Summoned Skull on the other hand was a true menace. 1 Tribute 2.5k Atk was crazy.
I feel like Malevolent Nuzzler should have made this list over Horn of the Unicorn, but that's just me. The DEF boost of HotU was nice, but it was never really used in practice. MN, on the other hand, had an optional top-of-deck effect that was even better than Axe of Despair (pay 500 LP, which means no loss in card advantage) and it would still cause your Level 4 1800 ATK beat-sticks to hit that sweet 2500 ATK break-point.

It's why Airknight Parshath saw play in Goat and Chaos formats. Pretty game-changing to me when it draws you a card when you do damage and the fact it's a single Tribute monster with 1900 ATK. There's another one that hand rips the opponent and does piercing damage but 1800 ATK isn't as good to justify for a single Tribute.
Megamorph is such a good equip. Equip it on an opponent's powerful monster when your life is high to beat over it. When your life is low, equip it to your own monster, beat over their monster, set MST and when they go to counterattack it blow up your Megamorph.
You’re wrong about Mage Power vs United We Stand. In goat format it was super common to get 5 monsters out using scapegoat. Also, no one was setting 5 backrow with heavy storm/harpies feather duster around.
The amount of times these videos show me that I never actually knew what a card's art was I could have sworn Big Bang Shot was the guy PUNCHING rather than kicking
I still run Mage Power in masterduel cause so many modern cards have effects that negate your monster effects and destroys them but Lotta them have no counter for just a huge big stick.

I like you rating these cards from the classic era, the meta has changed so much over the years it’s interesting to see how much utility could be gained from something that’s not much use now
Megamorph was also played on CyberEndDragon / CyberTwinDragon for an OTK
Bro farming my attention with classic cards. I haven't played in forever but i still watch this channel 😂
Also you can use megamorph to halve an enemy monsters atk to beat over it or make it too weak to beat over a defensive wall
I remember one of the GBA YGO games decided to give Mokuba a deck with Cyberstein, Megamorph and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Just... just a bit of a nasty surprise if you were unlucky picking on the punching bag of the old games.
Ah yes, that’s my favorite monster: Guardian Clamberg.
7:00 Idea to make this a better “Archfiend” card: _Archfiend’s Axe - Edge of Despair_ Equip Spell _Equip to an “Archfiend” monster. The Equipped Monster gains 1000 ATK/DEF, and can make a second attack per battle phase. During either player’s turn, while this card is in your hand, deck or GY, If you summon an “Archfiend”monster: You can tribute 2 cards from your hand and/or field; Equip this card to that summoned monster. While this card is in your GY or Banishment, you can banish 1 card from your hand or field facedown: Add this card to your hand._

Megamorph was actually used in two otk strategies: Cyber Stein OTK and Demise OTK: Use advanced ritual art to send two insects from your deck to the gy to summon Demise, pay 2000 lp to clear the board, then banish those two insects for Doom Dozer and equip it with Megamorph. Your lp are lower than your opponent's thanks to demise and Doom Dozer with Megamorph + Demise reaches exactly 8k atk. The combo was good enough to get Demise limited.
@ShiningJudgment666
2 күн бұрын
Demise had a few OTK variants over the years. The Cyber Twin Dragon version got Metamorphosis banned and you could Limiter Removal it after morphing Demise and swing for absurd damage twice over or morph your Doom Dozer into it and just get the exact 8k damage from the double attacks and Demise attack. It also got Advanced Ritual Art Limited. The thing that got Demise itself Limited I believe was the Dark Strike Fighter variant in early Synchro era.
Theres another reason Premature Burial is limited in old formats, the monster special summoned is not destroyed if Prema is returned back to the hand or banished. So you could use cards that bounce spells/traps (e.g. Giant Trunade) to activate the card multiple times while also making the monster first special summoned "forget" that Prema was equiped to it. So if you activate Prema again, the first monster special summoned will not be destroyed if Prema is destroyed after the second activation because the Prema is treated as a different copy.

This also resulted in future equips with a similar caveat changed to "when this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster" and "If the monster is removed from the field, destroy this card" instead of the wording of Premature Burial which states "When this card is destroyed, destroy the equipped monster"

It was essentially a second Monster Reborn and its properties as an Equip came in handy with interactions with Giant Trunade simply because of how it was designed. It got banned due to the existence of Hidden Armory and Brionac abuse.

In old formats this had no impact as Giant Trunade saw 0 usage there. It was limited because monster reborn was banned and this was the nerfed version of it, limited to 1. Later on extra deck monsters that could inifinitely bounce as well as equip searchers made burial better than reborn.

I love how 5 of these cards were staples in my Deck: Megamorph, United We Stand, Mage Power, Premature Burial, and Axe of Despair. Great times!
Let’s go baby! You’ve been on a roll holy hell.
I love combing big bang shot with mist valley falcon cause I equip it on my opponent then use mist valley to return the card back to my hand to banish my opponent's monster.
I had used Metalsilver Armor for at least 2 years to prevent my opponent from targetting monsters anywhere except the equipped one I control. Very strong in mikanko deck, and interesting in classic with great dezart or similar effects
I saw in a video not too long ago (I don't remember if it was Master Duel or Joey the passion) that if you mix Premature Burial with giant trunade it doesn't get "destroyed" (as the text in the card asks for), so the monster stays on the field and you can use it again.
Caught a small error at 9:43. Meant to say Mage Power, but said United We Stand instead.
Let's not forget that Premature Burial and Big Bang Shot can be used alongside Giant Trunade. One of my favorite strategies in old Yu-Gi-Oh! games! Also, Megamorph can be used on your opponent's monsters, too! Can't imagine Raid Duel events in Duel Links without it either. Such an amazing card still.
One of my favorite strategies revolves around playing a decoy Sky striker deck where in reality I summon Spell Striker and attack directly after equipping it with a ton of equip spells. Also sad Autonomous Action Unit didn’t make the list T.T
So Big Bang shot is basically the old format's equivalent of running MST to out Mystic Mine? Some things truly never change
Try-oh? Howmever? He’s doing it on purpose now right lol
5. I remember there was a monster that can gain ATK equal to the of stars each monsters, imagine how much more it will get if united we stand were to equipped it.
I put megamorph in my dinomorphia deck as a funny/spicy tech card. It's always funny attacking for game with a 6k+ plus with kenta
Man i remember snatch steal was the bane of my existence when i was playing the GX gba Game.
For a moment I was thiinking that number 9 would be that card that give the monster a boost of attack+defense
The thing with Celestial Sword is that it cannot combo with Eatos' effect as the Equip Spell is a 'when' effect, and as such misses timing.
From your list, Premature Burial and Megamorph are the two most used cards by me.
I used the Megamorph strategy with blue eyes ultimate dragon in old-school Yu-Gi-Oh video games for a 9000 beat stick. Could OTK on my first turn sometime if I drew black hole/Reigeki or change of heart.
Back then, I used to use this card with in my Bad Reaction To Simochi deck, which understandably pissed everyone off.
In Duel Link with raid event,Megamorph and United We Stand is MVP
Interesting how Smoke Grenade wasn't played very much back then^^
-Equip BBS or Fairy Meteor crush on your opponent's monster. -trick them into attacking your defense postion monster -inflict the piercing damage back at them -get ready to get beaten up.
Megamorph is invaluable in racking up ridiculous damage in Duel Links raid duels. You can easily get 200k+ damage in one hit when you equip Megamorph, then use the EX Skill multipliers and special monster type multiplier (based on the raid boss you're fighting.) Just make sure to equip Megamorph first.
Yes
Do a top 10 of your top 10 videos
it's insane, in the ygo video games, Kaiba would use the cyberstein/megamorph combo with BEUD for 9k atk. And be first or 2nd turn too lol. Better hope you had some removal, sometimes I'd have magic cylinder or amazoness swordswoman ready as game Ai didn't factor her reflective battle damage effect.
I don't even play Yu-Gi-Oh, but I love these videos.
10:05 I wasn’t surprised to see this equip card make the top 3, anybody else
I would use BBS with Evocator chevalier to double pop things all the time. Give BBS to opponent's monster, use evocator to pop a card by sending BBS to the grave banish the monster equipped to it. Would be such a better combo if Evocator wasn't a gemini
Dinomorphia should definitely be useful with megamorph easily fits that condition xd
I cannot believe he did not mention the Omega turbo strategy with vylons with Rod of Silence. :) i know that combo was a bit hard to pull off but… i mena it had some merits right?
Big bang shot is incredible, technically the opponent takes that piercing damage, same as fairy meteor. Equip to opponent, put some 0 def monsters. And wait to see their confused face

Dude! United We Stand actually SAVED me in a battle against Kaiba in Yugioh World Wide Edition 😂😂😂. The dude had pretty much cornered me, destroyed everything I had, and all I had in my hand were Kuriboh and Multiply, and two other useless cards. I drew United, and hatched an idea. I used Kuriboh and the Multiply card, created a whole wall. Kaiba just destroyed one of them, because for some reason he didn’t bother to summon another beater, and by pure luck I drew a Monster Reborn, brought back my Dunames Dark Witch and used my United We Stand, flipped the other Kuriboh tokens, and processed to mop the floor with Kaiba after 😂😂😂. It’s not an ideal situation, but this is THE fondest memory I have of United We Stand 😂😂😂. Since then, I learned to build my decks a little better, because holy crap do I recall struggling with most of these.
Wow this guardian deck you speak of must be very strong to have this many top 10s huh???
Top 10 niche quick-play spells (after synchro era)
10:40 Correction: Each time a spell card is activated you place 1 spell counter onto Royal Magical Library and when you reach 3 spell counters you can discard them to draw a card. If Royal Magical Library let you draw a card EVERY time a spell card was activated it’d be one of the most busted cards of all time.
Horn of the Unicorn's effect to return to the top of the deck is mandatory, not optional. So you CAN NOT choose.
But Celestial Sword - Eatos misses timing when used as cost.
So rod of silence and arm protector dragon the dragon keeps the rob on the feild and protected and the rod give the dragon 3300 def
My Axe of Despair doesn’t have the creepy face. It looks cool tho.
Me when thinking about #10 Nows your chance to be [big] bang Shot be [big] be [b-b-ang] shot!
Well Royal Magical Library doesn't work exactly like that.... But we got the idea
Malevolent Nuzzler should have taken Horn's place. It's not mandatory and you pay LP instead of going minus.
Not me equipping most of these to Maha Vailo to make the ultimate beatstick
Wait! The double edge sword isn't fully true and you skipped that option. You could also put Megamorph on your opponents' monster if you were ahead and half the attack of something. Meaning the card does never become dead in your hand, if you are ahead, you can be weak anything powerful the enemy brings out, if you are behind double your beat sticks. -and that is why it should be, at least in spot 6 above, Axe of despair. Also because the gain even on a 1800 monster is bigger than Axe.
6:55 Why master of Oz and not blue eyes ultimate dragon for that extra 800 attack point difference?
