10 Broken Yu-Gi-Oh Cards That Can NEVER Be Unbanned
7. Painful Choice
Losing four cards just to add one to your hand might have been something of a drawback in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh! when the game was little more than a battle of beatsticks. However, Painful Choice's ability to search out any card from the Deck, thin the Deck and beef up the Graveyard with Special Summon fodder (maybe even generating a couple of those pesky Fluff Tokens in the process), makes it an absolute beast of a Spell Card with three incredibly powerful positive effects and absolutely no drawbacks all rolled into one.
Indiscriminate card searchers, the ability to thin the Deck by five cards (an eighth of the Deck) and to add four cards to the Graveyard are all effects which in themselves can make a card worthy of the ban list, so a Spell which does all three is unimaginable in today's game.
