What cards from the anime would see play if they had kept their original effect?

[Babymon]

Example-

 

 

Soul Exchange:

Normal Spell

Both players can Tribute monsters controlled by their opponent, as if those monsters were under their control.

Sabatiel the Philosopher's stone

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Sabatiel_-_The_Philosopher%27s_Stone_(anime)

"When a "Winged Kuriboh" is destroyed, you can add this card from your Deck to your hand. When you activate this card, pay half your Life Points to switch this card with 1 card in your Deck or Graveyard. After you activate that card and it resolves, add this card from your Deck to your hand. If you activate this card after switching cards 3 times by this card's effect, its effect becomes the following effect. This turn, Select 1 face-up monster on the field, and multiply its ATK by the number of monsters your opponent controls."

Pretty much you get to search any 3 cards for (Basically) free and then you get to double-quintuple 1 monster's attack.

 

Way better than the actual card.

Someday, Yugioh will be so Power creeped that even this card would be a 1-of tops

Magical Mallet

 

In the anime it's a ±0 rather than a -1 so there's no reason not to run it for consistency boost, especially in decks with garnet-y cards. Also it shuffles itself back into the deck and has no once per turn so you can get the hand fixing effect throughout the duel.

[The Warden]

That card Joey used. Roll of Fate or something like that which rolled a dice, then had you draw equal to the result, then mill that same amount.

[Eshai]

Einroid

 

A double foolish burial for Roids, although it's probably too slow the way it is now.

 

Otherwise the Don Thousand card.

Einroid

Einroid is from the manga, not the anime

[Eshai]

Basically the same thing in the context of this post. Why can't I mention it?

[Draconus297]

Card of Sanctity. Y'know, "both players draw until their hands are at 6"? There's a reason YGOPro banned it on a list that lets you use anime Bahamut Shark (completely generic), Effect Shut (a Quick-Play Spell that negates and destroys), and anime Quasar (that does a Raigeki before giving you Shooting Star).

[Dragulas]

Somehow i consider Anime Card of demise less degenerate tthan the TCG/OCG counterpart

[The Highlander]

Illegal Keeper FTK/OTK.

Chaos End Ruler FTK/OTK.

Wiracoqucha Rasca FTK/OTK.

If we include those generic draw cards ... Exodia FTK.

The Wicked Avatar due to being basicly unkillable outside of Kaiju and even then you have no Spells/Traps for 1 more turns (not including the current).

The Blazing Mars (anime version) due to being a less restricted D. Ruler.

Astrograph Sorcerer and Zarc (both anime versions).

Gagaga Head due to his ridiculous amounts of draws he hands you for the cost of getting out an xyz.

Gofu due to being an even better version of its real game version.

Any kind of ridiculous draw engine (graceful dice, card of demise, card of sanctity, that rose monster which can be discarded to draw 1 ...)

"Laplace" due to being a ridiculous burn device.

Vampiric Leach FTK perhaps.

Expressroid due to being a salvage on legs for machines.

Scab Scar Knight.

Ivy Bind Castle due to "lul all your cards are negated ... period".

Mathematician due to being "lul add anything if I get destroyed via battle".

Sabatiel (though falling into an above mentioned category).

Three-Eyed Ghost.

Thousand-Eyed Ghost.

Ashingray.

Ipiria.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon due to being sick.

Doom Virus Dragon due to "lul crush card your field and deck with instant fusion".

Clear Wing due to "lul no OPT restriction in any way".

Ultimitl Bishbalkin due to being far better than the real version with Rex's dark tuner.

New Orders 12 and 10 with the anime Astral Force.

Number 88 and Number C88 FTK/OTK.

Number 39 due to being only weak to numbers in battle and kaijus ... while protecting mask of restrict.

Raid Raptor Rise Falcon perhaps (at least for RR players).

etc.

 

If we include manga ...

Number's avail lock (number 86 with 14 materials).

The Wicked Avatar due to being basicly unkillable outside of Kaiju and even then you have no Spells/Traps for 1 more turns (not including the current).

Absolute King Back Jack.

Yuya's manga extra deck dragons (starving venemy, dark anthelion, clear wing fast).

Beelzeus.

Three-Eyed Ghost.

Thousand-Eyed Ghost.

Moonlight due to putting his real game version to shame.

Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon.

Manga Bahamut Shark due to being ridiculously stuppid.

etc.

 

No intention to contiune with all broken anime and manga spells and traps.

Holy sheet, dude, you must be a dedicated anime lover for knowing all of these cards' anime effects. lol

[Expelsword]

No love for Orichalcos Shuneros?

 

That's one of the most savage nerfings of any card.

[Armoire]

The Egyptian Gods with their near-indestructibility and potent effects.

Not as savage as Ra's. But what about the Seal of Orichalcos, Orichalcos Deuteroes, and Orichalcos Triteros? The amount of BS you could unleash with just the first one in a spam heavy deck would be absurd.

Though they are overshadowed by instant win cards like Illegal Keeper FTK etc. Also are the 3 Orichalcos forms not meh ? (Bar having 10 monsters). All +500 ... so what, 500 life gain per monster ... eh, no targetting spells and traps against monsters ... is that supposed to be good ?
