10 Totally Broken Yu-Gi-Oh Cards They Had To Change For Being Too Powerful

Future Fusion was once one of the most effective ways to bring out a powerful Fusion Monster with ease. You simply had to activate the card, send from your Deck to the Graveyard the Fusion Materials for your chosen Monster, and voila! Your powerful Fusion Monster would be Special Summoned during the 2nd Standby Phase after activation, with the only drawback being that if Future Fusion was destroyed, so too would be the Fusion Monster.

While this was by no means an instant Fusion Summon (such an effect would be even more powerful than the rightly-banned Cyber-Stein), this was a sure-fire way to bring out Fusion Monsters without having to rely on having the necessary Materials in your hand or on the Field, thinning your deck in the process.

The new erratum on the card, however, slows the process further, with the player only being able to select their Fusion Monster on the 1st Standby Phase after the card's activation. Waiting an extra turn means giving the opponent another opportunity to Mystical Space Typhoon the Continuous Spell or destroy it in other ways, making it less likely your Monster will even hit the field.
