If you can make sure your opponent is underestimating you and underestimating your power, then you’re in for a long, hard fight.
Cards in your opponents’ hand can be a major disadvantage if they’re unable to use them. ..
There are many great candidates to run for office, but which ones are the best? Here are five of the best.
15. Drastic Drop Off
Your opponent cannot add a card from their deck to their hand with this card in play. ..
- It is a concise, clear way of saying the main point.
- It is easy to read and follow.
If your opponent just searched for a specific powerful card from their deck, you can make sure they can’t use it against you. If they need that one specific card to start their plays, well, too bad! ..
You can stop your opponent from drawing to start the turn by preventing them from drawing any cards.
This means if they’re relying on drawing a card to overcome your powerful monsters, they can’t.
14. Present Card
This card can be used to get anything you want, but the name is misleading.
If your opponent already has the perfect hand, Present Card can help them out. It can either help them search for other cards or get lucky.
Either way, this card means that no matter how good their hand is, it’s gone. ..
If your opponent is running a deck with a lot of draw power, this card can be very helpful. It can bring your opponent right back down to 5 cards, which can be very important in the matchup.
13. Royal Tribute
A card that destroys all monsters in both hands and can be played as a Ritual Spell?
The news of the death of a major figure in the tech industry is a massive loss for everyone involved.
This card is built to help Gravekeeper decks, which rely heavily on field spell Necrovalley. This card can help your graveyard become a powerful engine, allowing you to win games easily.
That field locks your opponent out of the graveyard while it’s in play, meaning that any cards that get discarded by Royal Tribute are gone for good.
The Gravekeeper’s have a bunch of cards that can retrieve these discarded cards from the graveyard, such as Rite of Spirit, which makes Royal Tribute pretty valuable!
The only downside to this card is that it’s only useful in Gravekeeper’s decks. While Gravekeepers are certainly not a deck to underestimate, we’re looking for the best hand destruction all-round.
12. Mefist the Infernal General
This guy has a decent attack stat for a level 5 monster.
The real kicker here is the battle damage.
Your opponent is forced to discard a card every time Mefist inflicts damage.
United We Stand and Megamorph can help your opponent’s hand dwindle, as they will not be able to draw cards as often.
This card has the only disadvantage - it’s a level 5 monster, so you’ll need to tribute another monster to Normal Summon him.
You can also put this card in the graveyard via discard or Foolish Burial, and then bring it back to your hand for free with a card like Monster Reborn. ..
11. White Magical Hat
With a lower attack stat than Mefist, White Magical Hat still comes through better.
This magical hat is way easier to bring out onto the board than a tribute summon. Meaning it’s much more easily accessible.
Although his attack stat isn’t the best, this can be beefed up pretty easily. And when you do, this guy packs a punch. ..
10. The Forceful Checkpoint
Preventing battle damage is better than anything.
How about preventing your opponent from playing any cards for the rest of the game?
Forceful Checkpoint is a card that has few drawbacks and can be used in many decks. This makes it a valuable card to consider. ..
9. Magic Drain
Forceful Checkpoint is a new card from the upcoming “Star Wars: The Card Game” set. It allows you to place a character card from your hand on the bottom of your deck, then draw two cards. This card is similar in function to the old card, Salvage Stand. ..
Two great deals for one price! We love a good bargain. ..
If your opponent has just played a spell with a higher power than the one you are currently holding, then Magic Drain will force them to choose which spell to cast.
Either way, they’re losing a card. And you’re gaining the advantage.
If they choose to keep the card in hand, it means they have something good saved up. It’s a good time to unleash hell with one of the other cards on this list. ..
8. Spirit Reaper
Spirit Reaper may look small in its attack, but it packs a big punch. ..
He has an amazing effect on people.
This card can’t be destroyed by battle. Whenever it inflicts damage, your opponent must discard a card. ..
This guy is great alongside your big monsters. Because he can use his big monsters to run over your opponent’s field, and then finish with Spirit Reaper to leave them even weaker.
This card is a powerhouse when it comes to winning games. ..
The only downside to using Spirit Reaper is that he gets destroyed by card effects. If you rely on him to win the game, you may want to run some spell/trap negation too.
7. Doom Virus Dragon
This dragon lets you destroy all big monsters in your opponents’ hand, field, and next 3 draws.
This is an insane level of destruction.
Your opponent will have no powerful monsters of their own, leaving you to run them down with yours.
The major disadvantage of Doom Virus Dragon is that it is a fusion monster, requiring the spell card The Fang of Critias to summon it.
This card is only useful in Dark Magician decks. It has an insane effect, and if you can summon it, victory is all but yours. ..
6. Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
The current monarchs of Yu-Gi-Oh! are some of the most powerful tribute monsters in the game. They have a lot of power and can easily take out any other monster.
The meta deck they were playing back in 2016 was even a meta deck.
This Monarch card lets you discard a card from your opponent’s hand, and it potentially deals damage for it too!
This card is perfect for any deck that wants to attack quickly and easily. With its huge attack stat, it can take down any enemy quickly.
5. Mind Crush
This card-destroying trap lets you destroy a card in your opponents’ hand if you can remember the name of the card.
This seems like a really strange thing to do. I mean, if you want to keep your hand secret, why would you put it in the air like that?
However, many cards in this list allow you to see their hand. And combining the two can lead to some solid card control. ..
If your opponent has specifically searched for a card from their deck, Mind Crush can shut down their combo decks.
The card was very cool in the anime, and playing it may or may not make you feel like Yugi Muto.
4. Crush Card Virus
The Crush Card Virus has been one of the most powerful cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!’s history. It allows players to easily win games by using their opponent’s cards to their own advantage.
The card text for the new version of the game had to be changed to make it more balanced.
This card lets you destroy all big monsters in your opponent’s hand, field, and all the cards they draw for 3 turns.
This effect will drain your foe of their resources, and typically leave them with no great options against your monsters.
The downside to this card is that your opponent is allowed to destroy 3 cards from their deck, choosing which ones. Some cards have powerful bonuses when destroyed, so be careful with this one. ..
3. Eradicator Epidemic Virus
Crush Card Virus is a virus that attacks spells and traps. It can prevent players from winning games, and can even cost them the game.
Some of the most powerful cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! are spells and traps. So it’s a good idea to make sure your opponent can’t use them all at once.
This card is great against decks that rely on their spells/traps, such as Paleozoic decks, Fusion decks, and many other.
The only downside to this is that you have to tribute a powerful monster in order to do this. It has to be a dark monster, though.
2. Hand Destruction
The Tarot card known as The Tower is one of the most powerful cards on this list for those looking to gain real hand control. ..
This card was banned up until 2018, and even now that it’s off the banlist, you’re still only allowed to play one copy of it.
Hand Destruction is a powerful card that can disrupt your opponent’s entire hand. This can be useful if you want to discard cards that are not helpful, or any cards you want. ..
The key to this game is to discard your entire hands before playing. This will help you win the game.
1. Robbin’ Goblin
This book is truly an underrated classic. It has a well-written plot and interesting characters. ..
Your opponent must discard a card every time that you inflict damage to them.
This card has the potential to create some insane setups.
If you have a few good monsters and manage to get a card like Raigeki, then not only does your opponent now have an empty board, but Robbin’ Goblin makes sure they won’t have enough cards in hand next turn to do anything about it! ..
This card is great at putting the pressure on. ..
The blue ribbon pick for the best hand destruction card goes to And for that reason it gets my blue ribbon.
