| Can search ANY "[[Yang Zing]]" card upon its Summoning, and due to the wide variety of Levels the "Yang Zing" monsters share, it can function as almost any necessary Tuner, while sending "[[Chiwen, Light of the Yang Zing]]" to the Graveyard to easily activate its revival effect. In addition, if it leaves the field it Special Summons another "Yang Zing" from the Deck, extending the chain of defensive monsters or Synchro/Xyz/Link Materials. Also, unlike the othersseveral other Yang Zing monsters' effects, neither effect can never miss their timing, leaving few options open for the opponent to stop them from activating. This card is Limited in the OCG.

| <span style="color: white">Powerful FTK, swarm, and Extra Link enabler, to the extent that being able to Summon it can effectively guarantee a win. Its first effect bounces both your cards and your opponent's, removing their defenses while allowing you to recycle on-Summon effects that aren't a hard once-per-turn including [[Grinder Golem|<font color="#99CCFF">Grinder Golem</font>]] (Limited), or itself when used in multiples. Also allows you to recycle hand traps from the Graveyard. Allows a free Summon when a monster it points to is sent to the GY by any means, making it even more suited to Extra Link shenanigans. Is the sole reason why several cards have been on the list at all. This card is Limited in the OCG.</span>

| <span style="color: white">Key card to a [[Knightmare|<font color="#99CCFF">Knightmare</font>]] lockdown. Generates advantage with its draw and Normal Summon. An Extra Link with this card (along with [[Knightmare Mermaid|<font color="#99CCFF">Mermaid</font>]], [[Knightmare Cerberus|<font color="#99CCFF">Cerberus</font>]], and [[Knightmare Phoenix|<font color="#99CCFF">Phoenix</font>]]) locks the opponent out from using the Extra Deck at all and is untargetable by card effects on any of its links, which can prevent the opponent from playing at all. Add [[Tri-Gate Wizard|<font color="#99CCFF">Tri-Gate Wizard</font>]] for additional "fun". This card is Limited in the OCG.</span>

| <span style="color: white">Brings Generic in its Xyz Summon, and brings out quick and easy materials with its effect. Abused in both [[Zoodiac|<font color="#99ccff">Zoodiac</font>]] and [[Gouki|<font color="#99CCFF">Gouki</font>]]/[[Knightmare|<font color="#99CCFF">Knightmare</font>]] Decks, as their monsters are EARTH Beast Warrior or Warriors, to generate Xyz or Link Material. This card is Unlimited in the OCG.</span>

| Summons a Token when it leaves the field, and can be revived quickly after that for one Tribute, and used in which gives easy Synchro or Link Summoning combos (via Material. One of the cards such as of choice to summon [[Crystron Needlefiber]]) to create , which generates easy card advantageand can bring out a Synchro Tuner on top of that.

| Sets an opponent's monster when it's Normal or Special Summoned, and can be Special Summoned during either player's turn by banishing 7 other cards from your Graveyard, field, or hand, which is abusable in Infernoid or Lightsworn Decks since they can easily get lots of cards into the Graveyard. Can even be used multiple times per turn. Combos well with [[That Grass Looks Greener]] for this very reason - banish what you don't need anymore, and use Snow as material again and again, shutting down Effect Monsters in the process. The advent of Links was mixed for Snow; Links can't be Set, but their overall generic nature made the revival effect even more potent. This card is Unlimited in the TCG.

| <span style="color: white"> A generic Rank 3 Xyz Monster that can easily fill the Graveyard with monsters, such as [[Burning Abyss|<font color="#99CCFF">Burning Abyss</font>]] and [[Phantom KnightKnights|<font color="#99CCFF">Phantom KnightKnights</font>]] monsters for easy advantage. Can replace or even recycle another copy of itself once it is sent to the Graveyard through any means, and can also be used to easily Xyz Summon [[Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal|<font color="#99CCFF">Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal</font>]] (Limited in the TCG). It also forms a small loop with [[Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss|<font color="#99CCFF">Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss</font>]] (Limited in the TCG). This card is Unlimited in the TCG.</span>

| Easily Summoned with cards like [[Glow-Up Bulb]] (also Unlimited; see below) and tokens made by [[Dandylion]]. An instant +1. Crazy when comboed with T.G. Hyper Librarian, who is Limited in the OCG. Can even be used for a Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn.

| [[Plant]] Decks were still topping after being hit format after format, Konami must have decided to finally kill them. Extremely consistent in Synchro Decks. Easily recyclable once per Duel through its own effect, but the effect can only allowing it to work as material for 2 separate Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summons as desired. Self-mills as well as reviving. Can be used once per Duel. This may have in the classic Plant Synchro engine, in Extra Link turbo, and was also been a hit to used in [[Future Fusion FTK Decks ]] OTK decks (though that's no longer as fast due to Future Fusion was Forbidden, and then 's errata'd to make it slower). Came back to 3 since Plant Synchro Decks are no longer viable in the current metagame.
