I feel the need to mention that a lot of these were designed in the original manga, where you can only activate one Spell Caard, Set 1 Spell card, and Set 1 Trap Card per turn.

* [[Ragnarok]]: Why is this one OP? [[Return from the Different Dimension]]. You activate Return and chain Ragnarok, and the latter wipes your opponent's field while the former allows you to bring the "cost" back. It's amazing.

****** I don't know, but I know that the card itself was shown to be yellow (which may or may not mean Normal Monster, such as the case of [[Flame Swordsman]]). Just from memory though, I don't think that we ever found out if it had an effect or not, outside of those two cases. I'm probably wrong though, as it has been a while since I've watched the original YGO anime.--[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] 04:42, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

*It's already real. This is for anime-exclusive cards. That said, [[Stronghold Guardian]] is potent to the point of broken. Imagine dropping 3 of them to pump up [[Stone Statue of the Aztecs]]. That's over 9000 damage coming your way. Otherwise, it can ensure that Gladiator Beasts turtling in Defense last the battle. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] 09:00, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Have a doubt about those cards.[[Card Trader]] is easily a better card than SC.[[Special:Contributions/115.135.252.167|115.135.252.167]] 13:37, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ah but think of [[Appropriate]] the wording on Draw Paradox and the cat pretty much mean you can draw until you get exactley what you need whenever you want during your opponent's turn. If they try to counter you then have a [[Reload]] set and it's all good.
 
Oh my little contributation to this would be [[Mirror of Duality]], use in a counter fairy deck and get out [[Voltanis the Adjudicator]] focusing only on your opponent's backrow since this destroys all monsters regardless of position, I could be wrong about the timing for the summon but still being able to inflict up to 5000 as a surprise Raigeki isn't shabby (with Voltanis leaving your opponent at possibly 200 is silly). 18:45, October 12, 2011
 
* ^_^" ah that Voltanis thing is a completely stupid suggestion on my part lol, you'd have nothing to tribute so forget that but ah if only it worked like ceasefire, fine free trap Dark Hole is still good enough.

Sin Cyber End Dragon anyone? It acts just like the regular Cyber End, but has much easier summoning conditions. Plus, there's no risk of a dead draw since the regular Cyber End Dragon can just sit in the Extra Deck. Go ahead, give it the restrictions that Sin Blue Eyes and Red Eyes have, it's still a 4000 atk beatstick that can do piercing damage.

*[[Resurrection Tribute]] deserves also a small mention here. It was only used randomly in the anime without too much focus on it but ''daaaamn''. Easy activation requirement, can special summon a Nomi-monster from the graveyard like Hamon and destroys a monster on your opponent's side of the field? wow. <br>One question though, where does the whole deal with Climax Hour come from? It was never shown to summon anything ignoring the summoning condition and I don't think anything was ever mentioned [[User:Poseidome|Poseidome]] ([[User talk:Poseidome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Poseidome|contribs]]) 16:59, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
[[Apple of Frigg]]'s anime effect was really crazy. Works like a Gorz on steroids since it can absorb damage from more than one attack, and generate an even bigger token as a result. What's more, you get all your LP back! It's fortunate that it got nerfed to dealing with only one attack when it entered real life. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 01:48, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
 
Ooh, it revived itself somehow. But by this point in the anime, I've kinda lost track and forgotten several card effects... Anyway, while possibly not very broken but more towards quite potent, [[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]'s anime effect is far, far superior to its real-life version, being a two-use Des Koala. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 15:11, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Harpie_Lady_Phoenix_Formation]Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation: Considering how Harpie's swarm the field you just need to wait for your opponent to have a full field which with certain archetypes (Dark World comes to mind) shouldn't take long and can result in a OTK.
 
 
I wouldn't mind seeing a nerfed version of this and some of the other Harpie support cards Mai used in Dawn of the Duel (I believe Harpie's still don't have nearly as much support as they should have), but I can't see that happening anytime soon or ever.
 
 
Of course there's a few Dawn of the Duel cards I wouldn't mind seeing made real. Mostly the Timaeus related cards, but especially Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight. I just feel Dark Magician Girl has so much more potential that hasn't been met.  [[Special:Contributions/71.17.187.75|71.17.187.75]] ([[User talk:71.17.187.75|talk]]) 04:23, September 30, 2011 (UTC).

Many of the [[Time Lords]] are pretty cheap. Namely [[Michion, the Time Lord]], [[Gabrion, the Time Lord]], and [[Sandaion, the Time Lord]].

Even with the normal summon, I think [[Sandaion, the Time Lord]] is extremely broken. That's 2 tributes for a 4000 ATK pointer that inflicts 4000 damage after battle. [[Special:Contributions/75.25.42.215|75.25.42.215]] ([[User talk:75.25.42.215|talk]]) 22:48, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
