10. Kuriboh- Now many of you are probably rolling your eyes or thinking this guy is nuts or whatever. But here is the thing, Kuriboh is a life saver. It is the only card that cannot be countered and it has an awesome effect. Personally, i believe this card is a staple just because it can save your life everytime. It has saved my life numerous times. This is probably the only card that I will never take out 9. Sinister Serpent- Again another monster that can be considered a staple. It is great for stalling, Graceful Charity and can potentially stop locks. This is a great card that is extremely versitile 8. Magical Scientist- I believe this is the best common card in the game. It has the potential for the one hit knockout needing only two cards to accomplish this. Though it's stats are low you don't need this to attack, you would use the effect every time. Some great monsters to summon with this are Thousand Eyes Restrict, Dark Baltaar and Dark Flare Knight. Overall, a great card in any deck for under a dollar 7. Black Luster Soldier- This is the best of the Chaos monster although there will be arguments that the Chaos Emperor Dragon is better. Personally, I would choose BLS any day of the week. His removal effect is insane late in the game and can help in Yata-locking or removing the searchers, other Chaos monsters and anything can get in your way. When playing the BLS I found the best way to use him is to summon him in defense and remove everything that comes on the field. The reason I put him in defence is that there really are not a lot of playable monsters that can defeat him in a battle except the Chaos and the Blue Eyes (I find these are the only monsters that people play that can defeat him). 6. Marauding Captain- Obviously to use him to his full potential you need to use both captains at the same time. It is perfect mainly because they can't attack and to stop them except by the means of a magic, trap or effect. The main problem with them is Tribe Infecting Virus. Another plus is that they can attack under Gravity Bind and Messenger of Peace 5. Tribe Infecting Virus- Awesome card in terms of effect. It has decent stats but you would use it for the effect. If your are facing a themed deck this card is unstoppable 4. D.D. Warrior Lady- Probably my favourite card in the game she is solid. One of the greatest effects in the game 3 of these can cripple your opponent. I find playing her in defence is the best bet and then remove if needed. Great for stopping the searchers and other beatsticks I wish I could put her at #1 but the top three are just that much better 3. Witch of the Black Forest- Can search almost any card in the game one of the most versitile cards out there. My favourite combo is tributing her for Jinzo and then searching for Yata. Great card, no need to say more 2. Jinzo- What a card. 1 tribute, 2400 attack, no traps can be activated. That's all you need to hear 1. Yata Garasu- And then there's Yata...
