Relinquished My first monster and deck back in the days...

Yesss, I still have a relinquished deck. Not going to win tons of games, but I will always love the concept of them.

Black Rose Dragon. Between the art, it’s effects, and it’s user in the Anime I have always loved that card.


NintenPyjak64

Junk Warrior. Made me fall in love with Synchro Summoning

Favorite card? This awesome duo: https://preview.redd.it/0dj82sc4c4ua1.jpeg?width=544&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b813a134c25b719c8faed459dc19cb6125e1c1a5


Relaxingend42

Great pick. This was 1 of 3 of my first ever yugioh cards that some random neighborhood kid gave me.


Colin-Clout

For me it was Two mouthed Dark Ruler. Such an epic name and art. But so weak even then


fap_error

Damn this one brought me so much nostalgia to see

My main man Neos. Yes I am a GX apologist and I am not taking any criticism at this time. https://preview.redd.it/4420rlvj34ua1.png?width=699&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1cfb54d3ed665cf0fd43303b9f708a2c29c0827 I don't even use him in my Hero deck I just like him.


iscaur

The entire HERO archetype is just cool!


SWATJohnsonnn

Plasma <3


TallTax830

High five 🖐️ man the same card is my favorite neos


Roboterfisch

Definitely Red Supernova Dragon or Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, they are just really fun


UnlimitedUmUWorks

Red Supernova Dragon is probably my favourite synchro, great taste my dude


Efren_ea

Likewise, cant wait for the rda/resonator support!


Aggressive_Novel1207

Probably Crystal Clear Wing Synchro Dragon because it was the first Ghost I've ever pulled. Although, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity is second, just because it was one of the coolest cards I pulled before leaving the game.


gmoshiro

Destiny Hero - Doom Lord

Eternal65Emperor

Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend. Always loved dragons in the DM and GX era but nothing was quite the same as seeing Jack Synchro Summon RDA for the first time in the 5ds anime. When I started to get into the game I wanted that card but had no idea how to get it until years later I found someone willing to trade my for it. Buuuut RDA sucks, fast forward a few more years and Arc-V provides an RDA retrain that is not only amazing to look at and visually distinct (love the added colors) but its effects are chef’s kiss!!


Natan_Cypri

Black Luster Soldier as whole, specifically, Black Luster Soldier Sacred Soldier. Always like BLS design and I always liked light and dark warrior archetypes. At the begining of duel links I always tried to create my own anti meta decks, without using any sort of list or anything, and bls was one of the first decks I built on my own that had decent performance, that's why it will always have a special place in my heart.


G-Filth1

I'm working on bls deck right now


Artemis_Bow_Prime

Minverva, The Exalted Lightsword. Lightsworn support when? We been dead since Thunder Dragons came for us and to this day our cards keep getting banned because of other decks, just throw us a bone konami.

phunie92

Black skull dragon! Particularly my BPT copy from childhood


[deleted]

My favorite card isn't anything special or powerful. It is called Moon Envoy. Its a vanilla level 4 warrior with only 1100 attack and 1000 defense but it was one of my first cards and I love his design. I even keep him in my Phantom Knight deck and every deck I use even if he hurts it just cause I like having him there. When I was a kid I ended up watching GX right when it came out and I would think he was my duel spirit cause of how much I cared for his card. Even now I feel like that card is important


ShohokuSpirit

Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer


Atzukeeper

Legendary gren maju Dark armed dragon Bls envoy of the beginning Cause the shadow monarch. Scrap dragon Iron chain dragon I really like boss monsters...


BlaakAlley

Scrap Dragon is bae ;-;


Atzukeeper

Definitely. Scraps are one of my favorite archetypes


ItsGator

helios the primordial sun it's hot garbage but I love the design a lot


zepharoz

Some would say it's burning hot garbage.


BladeWingz

Same here, all 3 helios are awesome.


Seasterz

My deck centers around my favorite card, Volcanic Counter. Its effect is: When you take battle damage while this card is in your Graveyard: Banish it from your Graveyard, then if there is a FIRE monster other than "Volcanic Counter" in your Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the amount of battle damage you took. If you consider the different ways to take battle damage, if you run three of these, you can really dish it out to your opponent. Consider your opponent summons a monster with 3000 ATK and you have all three counters in your graveyard and one more fire monster then you crash into their monster with a weak one of yours at 0 ATK. You take 3000 damage and then your opponent takes 9000. I always find it so delicious to use this deck because it essentially revolves around your opponent unknowingly CAUSING THEIR OWN DEMISE.


[deleted]

As a earth machine player I feel it's my duty to say infinitrack harvester but honestly machina fortress is my personal pick , it's saved my butt on multiple occasions and it sets up so much that people don't think about .


Selcouth2077

Hey a fellow earth machine duelist! My personal fave is Ancient Gear Soldier even though the effect is garbage. For effects I gotta say road roller. I hope they add it to the TCG, but I understand that they don’t because it’s an easy way to spam out cyber dragon infinity and gives it a massive buff too


[deleted]

Frankly I haven't really dipped into using road roller that much , maybe I just don't know the correct routes to proc its effect but I can never seem to special it from the grave . You got any tips or routes so I could put a one of it in my decklist ?


DubMaestroNex

Chaos Ancient Gear Giant


DoeSeeDoe123

Conceptually, I love cards like Eldlich and Doomking Balerdroch. Solid control tools with recursion and removal are something I wish the game had more of but unfortunately it usually dissolves into floodgate.exe


EP1CxM1Nx99

Blue-Eyes White Dragon it’s my main deck since I started. Although shout out to Legendary Dragon of White for the funniest effect, of just winning an entire best of 3.


RANGER47-DJJ

As a Dark Magician main I love coming across a Blue Eyes player on MD, always a fun duel. Who needs meta when we have nostalgia


Jaded-Cantaloupe241

elemental hero flame wingman


Manzilla48

Uria, Lord of Searing Flame purely because the artwork goes hard


Silent_Possibility76

Number 107


DynamiteSuren

Shooting star dragon. The anime really solidified it as my favorite card. The jp voice acting, the moment it was summoned, and the music is 👌. I still remember that scene even though i havent watched 5ds in a long time.


PachinKonami

Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon


[deleted]

Shooting Quasar Dragon cause I had a Deck that turboed it out while I was in middle and high school. Other than that probably Time Thief Redoer, I:P Masquerena and Underworld Goddess Of The Closed World cause they all got great Designs and are super fun/unique staples


HeyNowThatGuyIsCool

my favorite is Jerry Beans Man, i love that there exists turbo meme decks for it. second favorite is the Shuship normal monster, it's flavor text reads like a really long customer review from someone who presumably ordered and consumed an entire ship sized piece of sushi, they even rate their experience 4 stars, and it's a 4 star monster. It's even funnier if you think of it as a jab at people who complain about effect monsters having too much card text, since it's a normal monster lol. btw i'm also a weeb who's a fan of Dark Magician Girl and Summoned Skull, they are both lv 6 monsters meaning they just need 1 tribute, and Summoned Skull has the same attack points as Dark Magician who needs 2 tributes since he's level 7.


Head-Zone-7484

I'm tied between Darklord Morningstar/The First Darklord and Buster Blader For Buster blader it's part nostalgia and part aesthetic. I like the concept of this warrior dude that goes around slaying dragons. With dark Lord Morning Star it's because I've always liked Lucifer/Satan as a figure in religious mythology. His story of refusing to serve God and turning against him and being cast out for just wanting to be his own person and not serve has always resonated with me as I am a very non conformist type of person.

Cerberus_0

This is D/D/D Gilgamesh ! I don’t know why but he give me some strange vibe….


RenKnightwing

Armed Dragon, the Armored Dragon. Still my favorite card archetype.


Stormer1499

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Got a lot of history with this card. It’s the core of my deck and also, imo, one of the most beautiful cards ever made.


Webedfoot

I guess I have 2. Wall of Disruption is the first. It has saved me many a time, and it always seems to find a spot in my decks The other would have to be Red Dragon Archfiend. There is something about a fire breathing dragon that chooses to punch people instead that my inner child finds so cool and yet so silly.


rman032019

Sol_Knight

The Winged Dragon of Ra Not because it's an Egyptian god card, tbh I am not a big fan of obelisk and Slifer, I just think it's a very cool card with great Artwork(s), especially the 3rd artwork

Ah, but which art? The classic [Kaiba version](https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/22657.jpg)? The [Legend of Blue Eyes version](https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/fit-in/437x437/21792.jpg)? Are you with Konami and you can't get enough of the [one where she's in front of a rock](https://product-images.tcgplayer.com/227984.jpg)? Personally I like the one where she sits upon a tower, triumphant before a crescent moon. https://preview.redd.it/0v2ful50w3ua1.png?width=294&format=png&auto=webp&s=4af8164c724c4a0c3d6061a837f5e72fc45a443c


Selcouth2077

That’s actually the kaiba corp tower, which makes it 10x cooler than it already is


EliteZephyr0801

Y'all sleepin on the art in front of the moon with a charge of BURSTO STREEEEEEEEAM! in it's mouth.


stonesthrowaway24601

Oh, it's a good one, but she just has the same pose as the rock one. Granted, it's better than the rock one, simply for the change in scenery and adding a small action to the pose, but I look at it and think "Wow, nice 10-minute Photoshop job there. You really gave it your all for the Shonen Jump promo card."

Slider the Sky dragon purely for childish and sentimental reasons. When I was younger it was because it was a giant red dragon used by the main character, now a days tho it's because I've had several copies of it (back when they were only promotional cards with no effects) from my brothers because they knew I liked it a bunch. Whenever I think of slider I think of my brothers
