| [[Cyber Jar]]
| Unlike [[Morphing Jar 2|Morphing Jar <sup>#</sup>2]], this has a set amount. So it can be abused, allowing the controller can use it to gain advantage easily.
| -Very Low
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Cyber-Stein]]
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Dark Magician of Chaos]]
| Premature Burial / [[Dimension Fusion]] are also Forbidden, so the loop can't be made with those cards. However, Monster Reborn is now Limited, so the loop can be used there. It's a strong monster with a very good effect; his effect even works when it's Special Summoned. [[Dark Armed Return]] decks are godly with this card. Also, [[Ice Queen]] was designed to replace it for spellcaster decks.| Very Low
|- style="background-color:#CCCCCC;"
| [[Dark Strike Fighter]]
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Fishborg Blaster]]
| Broken with [[Formula Synchron]], which is now limited. An infinite [[Glow-Up Bulb]] , [[Spore]] or [[Plaguespreader Zombie]]; although limited only to WATER attributes.
| -
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Goyo Guardian]]
| Very high ATK for a level 6. Good effect.
| -Low
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Magical Scientist]]
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Magician of Faith]]
| Allows the player to reuse Spells Cards, mostly ones with Broken effects like [[Heavy Storm]] and [[Brain ControlDark Hole]]. Was part of the [[Tsukuyomi Lockdown]].
| Low
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Rescue Cat]]
| Instant +1. Abusable by [[Gladiator Beasts]], [[Naturia]], [[Wind-Up]]s, [[Synchro Cat]] and especially [[X-Sabers]]. Decks can spam this (e.g. [[Dark Desertapir]]). Too cute for the meta xD
| Low
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Substitoad]]
| Badly designed card, able to mill most of your deck in one turn. Combos well with [[Pot of Avarice]]. See also [[Frog Burn FTK]] (The most consistent burn/OTK/FTK deck for March 2010). [[Tradetoad]] was designed to be a fair version of it.| LowNever
|- style="background-color:#A086B7;"
| [[Thousand-Eyes Restrict]]
| [[Cold Wave]]
| Freezes backrow for a fairly long time. Preparations for an OTK. Also leaves the opponent vulnerable and unable to defend themselves once you use an effect that destroys their backrow.
| -Very Low
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Confiscation]]
| Look at opponent's hand and discard anythingfor a fairly low cost. AKA 1 for 1 card + see opponent's hand bonus.
| Low
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Mass Driver]]
| Abused in many Decks to form a FTK, since it does not use up the Normal Summon and can be used multiple times a turn.
| -Low
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Metamorphosis]]
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Mirage of Nightmare]]
| Too fast *cough*darkworld/fabled*cough*. If it gets destroyed, you don't need to discard, so it's as good as Pot of Greed. Also combos with [[Emergency Provisions]] extremely well.
| Never
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Painful Choice]]
| You don't lose hand advantage. Gets a good card or send cards that work well in the grave; similar to activating 4 Foolish Burials at once.
| Never
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[The Forceful Sentry]]
| A [[Confiscation]] (above) with no cost. Returns the card to the deck and not Discard rather than discarding it to the Graveyard. Having a card in the Graveyard is usually considered to be better that having it in the Deck.
| Never
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Imperial Order]]
| Powerful Spell lock via a [[Continuous Effect]]. You even have the option to lift the two-way Spell lock by not paying the cost. While [[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8]] and [[Naturia Beast]] can do the same thing, these effects start a chain, allowing for a [[Counter Trap]] to negate these effects.
| -Never
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Last Turn]]
| [[Royal Oppression]]
| 1 card to <u>continuously</u> stop a large amount of cards and cripple a large number of decks with a fairly low cost. Some decks abuse the fact that it cannot be used in the [[Damage Step]]. [[Blackwing]]s can use this card in their deck fairly well. [[User:Falzar_FZ/Misc#RoyalOppression-orSolemnWarningValhalla|Can stop a larger variety of cards]] that Solemn Warning, which has a larger cost, can only be used once.
| -Low
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Sixth Sense]]
| [[Time Seal]]
| Forces the opponent to skip a draw phase, which is lethal when they are topdecking. Unlike [[Drastic Drop Off]], this card can be chained anytime, making it much better, also with [[Mask of Darkness]] at 3, lockdown decks could take unfair advantage.
| -Very Low
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Trap Dustshoot]]
| [[Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En]]
| Even with Gateway limited, Six Samurais were still a force to be reckoned with. Shi En is a very easy Synchro for Six Samurais to bring out, having the same ATK as Stardust Dragon and a better negation effect. It also has the 'My Buddy as a Shield' effect to prevent it from being destroyed.
| -=
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Lonefire Blossom]]
| Search and Special Summon ANY plant; this includes Tuners, [[Mystic Tomato]], [[Tytannial, Princess of Camellias]], etc. Doppel-plants and quite a few other plant type decks were also topping tournaments for a long while. Formerly abused in Synchrocentric, but not as good anymore with Glow-Up Bulb and Spore banned.| -=, Low Chance of ↓
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Mezuki]]
| [[Plaguespreader Zombie]]
| Top decks a card ([[Infernity Archfiend]] anyone?). Universal Tuner.
| =, Low Chance of ↓
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Sangan]]
| [[T.G. Hyper Librarian]]
| Super splashable, low level with decent ATK, works when either player Synchro Summons.
| =, Chance of ↑
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[T.G. Striker]]
| [[The Agent of Mystery - Earth]]
| Another hit to T.G. Agents. Was like [[Elemental HERO Stratos|Stratos]] for Agents, and he's limited. Putting this to 1 gets rid of 2 targets for summoning [[Master Hyperion]].
| Low Chance of ↓
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Advanced Ritual Art]]
| [[Gateway of the Six]]
| Can gain counters when Six Samurai monsters are Normal and Special Summoned. With the introduction of [[Legendary Six Samurai]] monsters that can Special Summon themselves, and the ability for Gateway to remove from ''anywhere'' on your side of the field, 2 or more of these would result in constant searching of Six Samurai monsters for every Summon.

|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Heavy Storm]]
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Monster Gate]]
| Was used a lot by Turbo and OTK decks. Abusable in [[Hieroglyph]]s.

|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[One for One]]
| Formerly abused in [[Frog OTK]], [[Mind Master ]] OTK , and Frog OTK decks use this a lotPlant Synchro. If some of those cards become Now that [[Substitoad]], Mind Master, and Glow-Up Bulb and Spore are Forbidden, then this could come back to assist some of the weaker archetypes such as slower decks like [[MorphtronicsMorphtronic]] s and [[Fortune Ladies]].| =Low Chance of ↓
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Pot of Avarice]]
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Solemn Judgment]]
| Halving your LPs LP to activate a card is very fair (If you're winning, you pay more; if you're losing, you pay less), but to negate basically anything...| -=
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[The Transmigration Prophecy]]
|- style="background-color:#FF8B53;"
| [[Tragoedia]]
| Stops OTK <u>AND</u> has other good effects, maybe Konami is promoting people to buy Xyz Monsters.
| =, Chance of ↑
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Chain Strike]]
| Key card of Chain Burn decks such as [[Burn#Chain_Strike_OTK|Chain Strike OTK]].
| -=, Low Chance of ↓
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Destiny Draw]]
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Level Limit - Area B]]
| Excellent stalling device for no cost, effectively locking out most Decks that use lots of high-level monsters. However, it does not affect Xyz Monsters, and Konami is promoting people to buy them. Similar to [[Gravity Bind]], which went back to 3.
| -
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Royal Tribute]]
| Particularly disruptive when used on the very first turn, leaving one vulnerable and unable to retrieve what has been lost due to [[Necrovalley]] on the field.
| -=
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Shien's Smoke Signal]]
|- style="background-color:#1D9E74;"
| [[Swords of Revealing Light]]
| Stalls for quite a long time. You can still attack while the opponent cannot. With Xyz Monsters making Level Limit and Gravity Bind less useful good, why not?
| -
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Mind Crush]]
| 1 for 1 card. You don't really need to be a psychic to use this card. "''[[Salvage]]/[[Dark Factory of Mass Production]], [[Sangan]], [[Gold Sarcophagus]], [[Machina Gearframe]], [[Gadgets]], etc. Allows you to know what card they have. Also, this card owns [[Ritual]] Monsters, when the activate their [[Ritual Spell Card]], chain this and call the name of their Monster; a 2 for 1. Can be one-sided in [[Dark World]].| -=
|- style="background-color:#BC5A84;"
| [[Ojama Trio]]
| [[Ultimate Offering]]
| In [[Gadget]] decks, this can allow you to swarm the field with Rank 4 [[Xyz Monster]]s.
