[mahad dark magician]

u are absolutely rite it shud be fav cards shudnt it :D

[flame controler]

i think imperial order is the best card ever

broken X infinity

[PMasterS]

Pot of Greed is an average card, possibly a good one but no better than that.


The reason people say PoG is the best is because you gain 1 card of advantage.
wow, that must be game winning! (sarcasm)

If you listen to it that way then Asura Priest must be the best card ever made because in 1 turn it can gain you +4 just from the field!



Honestly, the best card ever would have to be Imperial Order for the sheer fact that it stops dead any magic, and they are the best in the game.
Add that to the fact that you can keep your opponent completely locked down with it for many turns without having to do anything short of giving up a few life points.

Allow myself;

Pot of Greed makes quite an excellent Topdeck; you draw it, play it, and there's 2 mopre cards, now you've more options and perhaps Can Stop an opponent's onslaught for sometime. you Draw IO, and you can stop his s/t, buit still take a hit.
IO is also Continuos, Making it Dustable, Mobiusable and MSTable (when activated). Pot gets played and takes no time to give you Results. IO also has a slight LP cost, as to which Pot has none.
IOI can screw an opponent over, as well as yourself.
In short: Pot can be played at virtually anytime and gian you INSTANT advantage; NO drawbacks.
Imperial Can only TRUELY work at a Certain time, and Has the Slight drawbacks of Payment and Screwing yourself over.

[futura]

Chaos Emperor Dragon -_-

Let's see Pot of Greed stop that
(No-one mention drawing Solemn Judgment..)

Boom.

That's all nice in theory, however IO can cut out many more than 2 of there options, it works better than PoG any time not topdecking which is the most of the time.
Plenty of things can stop PoG as well and IO would already have stopped 1 card by that point 'paying' for itself.
The lifepoint cost is only to maintain it.
It can't screw you over as you don't have to pay.
IO works most of the time.


Besides, gaining 1 card is not a powerful effect, 1 card makes little difference, it can easily be overcome with smart moves.

[mahad dark magician]

ok ladies less arguements plz .....pog rocks

You sir, need to learn how to either. A) Go to school and get smart or B) Shut up.


EDIT: Magician stop double posting its against forum rules.

If you actually think about it Pot is the 2nd best... SJ wins this thread.

[Etc sucks]

No card changed the meta like yata did.

[Mastastupidfa]

If 1 Card makes not a difference, then Why try to Negate with IO?

Point of Pot: It is useful in ALL Situations, save for some idiotic and Rare situations. (AKA Horus, 1 Card in deck, etc.)
Point of IO: Stops any counter to a strategy you have in motion. you have to have one in motion however, to use this. Even if its just to build up your Defenses, that is a Strategy. You have to really be IN the lead, or in a position to GET in the lead. Pot can help you, even if you are nowhere out of the Lead.
If gaining 1 Card is not great, why is losing one Card bad? I mean, Its one card. Isn't THAT gamebreaking.

Also, Plenty of things stop Pot? IO, Magic Jammer, Cursed Seal, Spell Cancellor/SSL7, Null and Void. Out of those, how many are Actually played? IO.
IO- Mobius, Dust, MST, Seven Tools, Breaker, Royal Decree, Jinzo, BES Tetran, and I believe Spiritualism.
How Many played? Mobius, Dust, MST, Breaker, Decree, Jinzo.
Think whatever you may about Pot; but many in the world Disagree for good reasons.

I still say Larvea Moth FTW.

[mech-hound]

Imperial Order....control=good...

[Capajoe]

Horus 8 > IO

[mahad dark magician]

Horus 8 > IO
i totally agree and srry 4 double posting

If you actually gave reasons for what you said I might reply.
As of yet no one has given a good argument for why PoG is better than IO.

[Ordyh]

Pot of Greed or Solemn Judgement.

[{//[RU1]\\}]

Pot of Greed is unconditional card advantage. Card advantage is one of the more important elements to winning. Pot of Greed = winning.

~RU1

[PMasterS]

\\}']Pot of Greed is unconditional card advantage. Card advantage is one of the more important elements to winning. Pot of Greed = winning.

~RU1


But IO is a continuous effect so for the duration of its effect the magic cards your opponent has don't count.

Also are you telling me you've never won when your opponent had card advantage over you.

Card advantage is important, but no more so than other factors, the only reason card advantage is important is because it gives you more options.
IO cuts off options, therefor the extra 1 card PoG gives means less than the abilities of IO.

[zephyr_]

Umm what about Imperial Order. Theres absolutely no drawback to that. the life payment is a plus cause you can turn it off.

So either IO or PoG

[Fender]

i'll say Imperial, because Pot is stopped by imperial.

IO was banned i believe 2 cycles before pot was, and hasn't come off yet. The idea of a free magic jammer for a turn, with the option of paying to keep it going is nigh unheard of in any TCG. Every game has their PoG, but IO cuts off roughly 1/3(used to be 1/2) iof a person's deck. there once active, there are only 3 commonly played cards that can stop IO. Decree, Breaker, and Dust.

Pot can be stopped by Jammer, Solemn, spell shield, horus, canceller, and null and void. now granted you don't see null and void hardly ever, i have seen it before.

in my opinion, it should go IO, Pot, then Exiled Force in 3rd. That card is always useful for me.

[Ordyh]

i'll say Imperial, because Pot is stopped by imperial.
well Solemn Judgement counters all cards.....so why isnt SJ numero uno?

[PMasterS]

well Solemn Judgement counters all cards.....so why isnt SJ numero uno?


Only stops 1 card and has a hefty cost, IO doesn't need to have a cost, but Solem does, also IO can go on until end of duel if needed.

[Fender]

well Solemn Judgement counters all cards.....so why isnt SJ numero uno?


Because of the cost.

While Judgment has arguably the most utility of any card created in this game, that utlity is balanced out by the amount of LP you have to pay. In paying that LP, you lost resources, a 1-for-1.

Pot is a 2-for-1, but it opens up new options, which is why its so good.

IO cuts off options, and causes a 1-for-1, with the ability of being a multi-turn lock, for a small cost. Yes, you lose resources, but the amount of options your opponent will have on a regular basis is then greatly limited.

This is why i believe that IO > PoG

[nosniv hsav]

POT OF GREED. I just love that draw engine:D:D

[dead musashi]

well i soppose the best card in the game by-far is shapesnatch...lol
really its probobly PoG

[Black Paladin]

I think emperor dragon is the most powerful card ever. for practically nothing, you can win the duel. while pot of greed is, without a doubt, good in more ways than bad, pot has a lower chance of winning a game for you

[DemonEyes2386]

Pot is alrighrt, everyone ran it but WHO CARES. It's gone and only netted you a + 1 adv. A Raigeki, Dark Hole or Heavy Storm will always be better. But anyways, the best card hands down was Yata Garasu.

[Napoleon II]

why hasn't Shining Friendship been mentioned???

[callinghero]

yata the best if built around it so their yata the best

[S i l e n t l i n e]

Imperial Order... Anyone that thinks there is competition... Please give me a good reason...

Pot of Greed is a two for one... So it is garunteed card advantage... But Pot of Greed can not single-handedly shut down an opponent like Imperial Order use to...

And saying that you can draw Imperial Order and another card with Pot of Greed is not a good explaination why Pot of Greed is better...

Imperial Order won many more games when it wasn't banned than Pot of Greed did...

[BeeLegendary]

It got to be Rageiki because it hasn't come off the ban list. It's that good!!!

Chaos Emperor Dragon is the next best card. It can destroy BLS-envoy that's why it got banned first. :D

[kEviN21]

Solemn Judgement=strongest card...but greatest card=kuriboh :D

[Bankotsu the Great]

Pot of Greed, only true staple.

Although Raigeki, HFD, and Monster Reborn are all close runner-ups.

[warboss]

PoG Sure!.-.-.-.-.|

[Mayuga]

Yata or PoG imo.

[chaoswizard]

Pot of Greed

[seighart]

The Greatest Card in the game is Pot Of Greed. because sometimes it can help you preventing from top-decking:)

[The Otaku]

Slifer the Sky Dragon. Anyone who disagrees needs to stop playing yugioh.

[Kenjiblade]

I only read the first few posts, so I'm a bit unsure...Are we purposely being sarcastic in our responses?

If so: "Giant Turtle Who Feeds on Flames" is the best card ever.

[ozzy]

I LOVE COMPUTER SEARCH! ( pokemon card lmao )

[Perplexus]

I LOVE COMPUTER SEARCH! ( pokemon card lmao )

Nah, its all about Professor Oak... :rolleyes:

[RSetia]

Best Monster : Vampire Lord

Best Trap: Ring Of Destruction

Best Magic: Pot of Greed

[KidoOsiris]

I'd say Imperial Order. And a card that people have forgetten about for third, behind Pot of Greed; Fiber Jar. The ultimate "Get out of jail free and wipe the slate clean on whatever you did wrong previously - card." Fiber couldn't give a damn about advantage, it's flipped and you get to restart the duel. So there maybe Nobleman, but I'm kinda surprised no-one mentioned Fiber.

[The Tourist]

What???...ya all forgeting about the smartest man on the planet..............

Magical Scientist

some other picks:

PoG...obv
IO....obv
The Duo....Sooooooo obv
SollY Judge...."God Say's No!"....to anything and everything...;)

and just for fun:

Change of Heart
Painful Choice
Yata
Witch

ah heck....there's just to many "the best card in the game" to name...LAWL!!!!

[[2%]]

Pot of Greed wins this one.

[machojef]

I have to say the best card has to be Sinister Serpent for all those discard cards out there. It should be taken off the banned list and is a staple in any deck. If not that I have to say Magic Cylinder for those players who want to take you out in one turn and this card is a staple in any deck espesaly with Cyber Dragon roming around.

[Faust_8]

well it seems pot is winning out rite but i still adore it and dm by far

Your favorite card is not the same as the best card.

Unless, of course, your favorite card is Pot of Greed.

Seriously people, NO MORE "WHAT IS THE BEST CARD EVER" THREADS! The answer is always Pot of Greed!

[dekoichi]

Mega Thunderball
Close thread NOW


It's truely Potter Weed
(Pot of Greed)

[Infinity]

though ive never used one
emperor dragon is by far the most devistating monster to ever walk this format.

[InfiniteCards101]

It got to be Rageiki because it hasn't come off the ban list. It's that good!!!
I hear ya! What's not to like about a card that clears your opponent's field of Monsters without any cost? Unfortunately, Raigeki's as broken as a window after a rock is thrown at it.

[Warakia]

I'm sorry guys but Earl of Demise has enough power, skill, and beauty to paralyze a body builder and put 1000 kittens into comas.

Earl of Demise wins.

[Romancer]

I thought srveys and best, greatest, favorite, etc, threads weren't allowed.

As far as best cards go, one need only point to the first ban list, and then to newer lists and cards we don't get to play anymore.

Pot of Greed
Raigeki
Harpie's Feather Duster
Change of Heart
Mirror Force
Ring of Destruction
Dark Hole
Heavy Storm

2nd tier best cards, who actually need decks built to use them effectively.
Chaos Emperor Dragon - EOTE
Black Luster Soldier - EOTB
Yatagarasu
Magical Scientist

[GGGRRRRRR]

Mataza The Zapper Rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!at Least To Me

Most powerful Traps: Return from the Different Dimension, Deck Devastation Virus.

Most Powerful Monster effect: Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End, Fiber Jar

Most Powerful Spells - Limiter Removal, Painful Choice

*Based upon the impact the use of the card can have on the game.

[Dark Necroid]

Best Trap: Solemn Judgment or Ring of Destruction (It's back!!!)
Best Magic: Either PoG or Change of Heart
Best Monster: Either Horus 8 or Jinzo, both equally devastating depending on the situation.

[dave starkiller]

Treat of the Voyager
or maybe Wicked God - Dreadroot

[The Otaku]

I'm sorry guys but Earl of Demise has enough power, skill, and beauty to paralyze a body builder and put 1000 kittens into comas.

Slifer the Sky Dragon kills legions of kittens by the mere uttering of it's name. Beat that.

[Exiled]

Isn't this a List Thread?

Anyways

Timeater

[Sakray]

Best Monster: Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End
Best Magic: Pot of Greed
Best Trap: Imperial Order

[Yami_DJ]

Heavys torm, the only card that never have been touched by the banlist, balanced enough to be just limited but double edged enough too be just limited.

[Mage Master]

Not sure this type of thing is allowed.

Anyway, Dark Magician Girl.

[thegreatgaffney]

Pot of Greed...definately

[dave starkiller]

horus LV8 is also great
and tyranno infinity:D

[Yata-Locker]

A toss up between Raigeki, and Harpie's Feather Duster.

[dave starkiller]

also chimeratech

[NinjaPanda]

Pot of Greed is almost always a +1, and very few times a +0. Most of the time it will let you draw 2 cards instantly gaining 1 card over your opponent. It is a card that can and should be placed in every deck(Speaking as if it weren't banned of course). It is the single most reliable and consistant card in yugioh. That being said it is by no means the BEST Chaos Emporerer Dragon and Black Luster Soldier are both "better" then Pot of Greed in Chaos decks. Rageki, Dark Hole, Harpie Feather Duster, Imperial Order are all "better" than Pot of Greed in most decks. Pot of Greed cannot impact the game on such a large scale as those cards. A +1 is no where near as powerful as reducing both players to top decking or destroying all your opponent's monsters for anywhere from a 1 for 1 to a 5 for 1. But none of those cards will be useful in ALL situations like Pot of Greed, but all of them impact the game more greatly.

[Robert Kabia]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we Want Our Pot Of Greed Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaJuggernaut]

Hmm Raigeki? Yata? HFD? Snatch Steal? Heavy Storm? Kuriboh?

[DtheDeadly1]

black luster soldier and chaos emperor dragon, the dreded chaos monsters.
