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.

Add any you don't see here.
* [[Ragnarok]]: Why is this one brokenOP? [[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.
* [[Negative Energy Generator]]: Buffing Armageddon Knight to 4200 ATK? No thank you.
* [[The Pillager]]: You shouldn't even have to ask about this one.
**I don't think so. It's summoning conditions are still quite terrible. =/--~InfinitySlayer 03:44, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
**After going through all the trouble of summoning this thing you can't really call it broken if you have to tribute it to destroy one card on the field. x.x [[User:Vampiremessiah51|Vampiremessiah51]] 06:38, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
***Sure. Future Fusion, Dragon mirror, Gale Dolga + Phantom of Chaos, ect. And shining can destroy multiple on enemy turn.
* [[Illusion Gate]]: destroy all your opponent's monsters and take one of theirs, all at the pesky cost of a soul. ^_^ [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 03:49, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
* Scrap-Iron anything not Scarecrow: I just really hope I don't have to explain this. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 03:50, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
***** What I meant was, has it ever been shown without its negative effect in the manga/anime? [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 01:58, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
****** 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)
The anime and manga version of [[Copycat]]] is pretty broken to me.It can copy any card on the opponent's field or graveyard.Remember how it copied Life Force(vs Paradox Brothers) and Metalmorph(vs Bandit Keith)?[[User:Jason Ng|Jason Ng]] 10:18, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
*** Oh, I see. Still, it can backfire very badly for you too. Just consider [[Dice Jar]], where you can do up to 6000 damage in one shot, but have the same done back to you. Roll a 1 or 2 with this, and... yeah. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] 11:36, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
[[Energy Drain (Animeanime)|Energy Drain]] as well.--[[User:Akiza'sRose66|Akiza Izayoi]] 06:07, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
[[Dark Spell Regeneration]], just found that.--[[User:Akiza'sRose66|Akiza Izayoi]] 06:11, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
No, see I said one face down card is [[Infernity Burst]] and one in hand. That equals 8000, 4000 apiece. [[Special:Contributions/71.201.153.162|71.201.153.162]] 01:43, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
Actually, Virus Cannon in the Anime was pretty bad too. When Kaiba used it against Ishizu in the BC Finals, if I think we forgot about a few VERY broken remembered correctly, It caused the opponent to send either 10 or all of there spell cardsin there deck to the grave. * [[The Eye of Timaeus]]* [[The Fang of Critias]]* [[The Claw of Hermos]]* [[Legend of Heart]]* [[Legendary Knight Timaeus]]* [[Legendary Knight Critias]]* [[Legendary Knight Hermos]] --[[User:Akiza'sRose66Phoenix25|Akiza IzayoiPhoenix25]] 2000:1032, February 1617, 2010 (UTC)
[[Justice Bringer]] is pretty good. No [[Judgment Dragon]], [[Dark Armed Dragon]], [[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier|Brionac]], or anything.--[[User:Akiza'sRose66|Akiza Izayoi]] 02:25, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
*I think [[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]] is so broken, halving the ATK & DEF points without having it coming back ? yeah right!
*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)
**Well, looks like Stronghold Guardian came into real life unedited after all, and considering what's going on right now, it's not broken anymore. Just potent. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 01:46, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
[[Schrödinger's_Cat]], [[Draw Paradox]] and many other cards that [[Dr. Eisenstein]] used. They were so confusing and weird.--[[User:Hide Head Turtle|Hide Head Turtle]] 12:55, 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.
==Darkness Seed==
Plop it to the grave in any way, say with Foolish Burial or Armageddon Knight. It revives two turns later as an indestructible LP replenisher. [[User:Runer5h|Runer5h]] 00:33, May 19, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h
A bit too lazy to go searching for a broken card at the moment, but I'd like to offer some praise to Runer for dusting off this topic.--[[User:Akiza'sRose66|Akiza Izayoi]] 01:13, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
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.
:Aaaand it's nerfed to a non-piercer in real life. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 15:03, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
==Legendary Dragons==
I think we forgot about a few VERY broken cards.
* [[The Eye of Timaeus]]
* [[The Fang of Critias]]
* [[The Claw of Hermos]]
* [[Legend of Heart]]
* [[Legendary Knight Timaeus]]
* [[Legendary Knight Critias]]
* [[Legendary Knight Hermos]] --[[User:Akiza'sRose66|Akiza Izayoi]] 20:10, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
Well [[The Eye of Timaeus]], [[The Fang of Critias]], and [[The Claw of Hermos]] are just specific [[Polymerization]]s themselves. They require the Fusion Material to be on the field which actually makes them weaker then most fusion catalysts in their own right.
[[Legend of Heart]] is undoubtedly broken as it summons three monsters with 2800 ATK. By themselves [[The Eye of Timaeus]] allows you use any Spell card, which is broke, but was that ever even seen in the anime? Where does that even come from?
[[The Fang of Critias]] allows you to activate Trap Cards from your Graveyard when it battles. As long as you still have to meet activation conditions and pay costs of the trap cards that would be okay.
For [[Legendary Knight Hermos]] the effect to redirect attacks and multiply the ATK is the only thing broken about him.
For the fusions:
[[Amulet Dragon]]: Would require at least three cards to summon it (a means of getting Dark Magician onto the field, Dark Magician himself, and The Eye of Timaeus). Can get a very high ATK, but with few other effects would not be that useful. I think [[Five-Headed Dragon]] would still be better.
[[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight]]: Also requires at least three cards to summon it. It's effect is like [[Ally of Justice Catastor]] only it doesn't care about attribute but requires a discard. It has higher ATK but isn't much better and is more difficult to summon. I don't think it's broken.
[[Doom Virus Dragon]]: Basically allows you to preform [[Crush Card Virus]]'s effect the turn that it is set, but only affects the field. Not really that broken in my opinion. With [[Crush Card Virus]] Forbidden it would only be playable in Traditional Format, and even then [[Crush Card Virus]] is Limited.
[[Tyrant Burst Dragon]]: Not much was shown about this monster aside from summoning the following monster (note: the stats and effect on this Wiki's page seem to be either made up or from the following monster).
[[Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon]]: Difficult to summon requiring you to first play [[The Fang of Critias]] sending a [[Tyrant Wing]] to the Graveyard to fusion summon [[Tyrant Burst Dragon]] then sending it and a [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]] you control to the Graveyard to summon it. Can hit the opponent for heavy damage as it can attack all of the opponent's monster. I personally think Blue-Eyes decks need this though. They have over shadowed by [[Five-Headed Dragon]].
[[Mirror Force Dragon]]: It's effect was very vague in the anime. Going by this Wiki's interpretation it doesn't seem to bad. It would only do alot of damage if your opponent had alot of Attack Position monsters with low ATK. But how often does that happen? With [[Mirror Force]] Limited it would be difficult to summon.
[[Big Bang Dragon Blow]]: Definitely broken. Tribute one Dragon to nuke the opponent's field and Life Points. Then again [[Big Bang Blow]] was broken also.
[[Goddess Bow]]: Doubles the equipped monster's ATK. The other effects arn't that meaningful so it's basicly a [[Megamorph]] that requires two cards to pull off but without a downside. Not that broken.
[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword]]: Takes at least three cards to play it and another to equip it to. Has the potential to boosts a Warrior-Type monster by a huge amount, but only if you can also special summon alot of Dragon-Types. Would be hard to play in the Meta so I don't think it would be that broken.
[[Rocket Hermos Cannon]]: Destroys all of your opponents monsters and inflicts damage to equal to their ATK to the opponent at the cost of not attacking that turn. Can kinda see how it might be overpowered.
[[Time Magic Hammer]]: Has a very vague effect. During your opponents next Standby Phase after it has been played it seems to remove from play all of your opponents monsters one by one. In each of your opponents following Standby Phases one of them returns to your opponents field in the same order they were removed. You can't take advantage of it's effect the turn you play it, and its usefulness would largely be decided by how the effects would work.

Revival Jam and Card of safe Return are insane. Infinite cards is ridiculous. Exodia Obliterate!!
The far most broken card is seal of orchlinos you can lose your soul O_o
*[[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)

:Broken to the point where its power is recognised in-universe is thus Forbidden there, too. --[[User:Gadjiltron|Gadjiltron]] ([[User talk:Gadjiltron|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gadjiltron|contribs]]) 02:00, September 29, 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).
[[Cursed Twin Dolls]] in a [[Lightsworn]] [[Synchro]] deck.

Many of the [[Time Lords]] are pretty cheap. Namely [[Michion, the Time Lord]], [[Gabrion, the Time Lord]], and [[Sandaion, the Time Lord]]. Toss in [[Sephylon, the Ultimate Time Lord]] and you have a party of cheap cards. [[User:Menace13|Menace13]] ([[User talk:Menace13|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Menace13|contribs]]) at 22:32, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
Well, in the anime, they can't be normal summoned without a release(unless you use Z-one's traps), so that balence them a little--[[User:Gabriel 95|絶望]] ([[User talk:Gabriel 95|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gabriel 95|contribs]]) 17:48, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
*The anime [[Energy Drain (anime)|Energy Drain]] is pretty broken. It is a total +1 if used right. And it being a Quick-Play spell only makes it better. [[Royal Decree]] has nothing on this guy. [[User:Billybennai|Billybennai]] ([[User talk:Billybennai|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Billybennai|contribs]]) 09:49, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
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)
[[Ancient Gear Statue]] makes [[Ancient Gear (archetype)|Ancient Gears]] pretty overpowered. Especially because all level 8 [[Xyz Monster|Xyz Monsters]], and all new machine support.[[User:Darkelwin|Dark Elwin]] ([[User talk:Darkelwin|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Darkelwin|contribs]]) 17:11, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
:No more than [[Kaibaman]] is broken. Ancient Gear Golem isn't good enough to justify a -1 in summoning it. [[User:Runer5h|Runer5h]] ([[User talk:Runer5h|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Runer5h|contribs]]) 00:59, April 11, 2012 (UTC)Runer5h
