10 Most Broken Spell Cards In Yu-Gi-Oh!

5. Delinquent Duo

The first banned card that has a 'cost'. Unlike most of the cards on our list Delinquent Duo isn't a free spell, it requires a coat of 1000 life points to activate but in the grand scheme of things that's hardly a cost for what you're getting.

Duo discards one card at random from your opponent's hand, then your opponent chooses one card to discard. So that's two cards for 1000 life points.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! terminology this is called a two for one, our one card delt with two cards of our opponents and this is the easiest two for one you're ever going to get.

There are multiple problems with Delinquent Duo being legal for tournament play. Drawing cards for free nowadays simply doesn't exist, you have to pay various costs like with Pot of Desires banishing the top 10 cards of your deck.

Furthermore, the duelist who starts with Delinquent Duo in their opening hand has a huge advantage because they're allowed to set up their field and then reduce their opponent's hand size by two making it extremely hard for them to play the game.

Delinquent Duo wasn't hit on the very first ban list but when easy access card draw was banned like Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity it was decided that it too needed the hit and was banned on the October 2005 ban list.
