Yu-Gi-Oh: 10 Most Powerful Unbanned Cards In The Game
2. Cryston Halqifibrax
The card that took nearly three years to come to the TCG and current YuGiOh players have a love/hate relationship with. Crystron Halqifibrax is a link monster that promotes synchro summoning, which is very cool, and its second ability allows you to 'tag' him out for a synchro monster from your extra deck - again a very cool and unique ability.
It's the second ability that is absolutely not fair and is currently causing the YuGiOh world a bunch of problems. When Halqifibrax is summoned he allows you to search your deck and special summon one tuner monster directly to the field.
In conjunction with our last entry, Jet Synchron and Mecha Phantom Beast O-lion its giving duelist access to monsters they normally wouldn't include in their deck or extra deck and in turn are allowing for first-turn kills, combos such as ripping every card from your opponent's hand or forcing you to watch as they 'play with themselves' for 15 minutes summoning over and over again until they have a board full of powerful monsters that essentially stop you from playing.
For the readers who know current YuGiOh they know what we mean when we say Haliqifibrax will only get more busted with the printing of either new level 3 or lower tuner monsters or monsters that generate tokens such as Linkcross. Halqifibrax is responsible for numerous 1 card combos that wreck the game, its clear Konami was hesitant to bring the card to the TCG and its now obvious to see why.
