Synchros are some of the most powerful monsters in the game today. So some of the criterias that I considered for this list are stats, importance in a duel, card effect, and uh-oh factor (it's what your opponent says when the monster is Synchro Summoned to the field).
Honorable Mention - Scrap Dragon, Odin Father Of The Aesir, Brionac Dragon Of The Ice Barrier, and Goyo Guardian.
5. Black Rose Dragon
Pros:
- First effect can clear the entire field.
- Second effect can destroy nearly any monster reguardless of ATK.
- Great card to build a deck around.
Cons:
- Weak stats.
- Need to be in a Plant-Type deck to optimize the card's usefulness.
Comment:
With two devastating effects, Black Rose Dragon is not a monster your opponent wants to see on the field. In addition, the summoning requirement is the standard for any Synchro Monster so getting this monster in play is as easy as it gets. But most importantly, this card single-handedly made Plant-Type decks a viable option in dueling. That just proves how powerful it really is.
4. Trishula, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier
Pros:
- Synchro Summon effect allows you to remove 3 of your opponent's card.
- Tremendous amount of Dragon support cards.
- One of the best cards to build a deck around.
Cons:
- Effect only activates once after it is Synchro Summoned (not once per turn).
Comment:
One of the best card in the Yugioh dueling world (not just Synchro Monsters), Trishula is an absolute force when her effect activates. While getting her on the field might be a little difficult, it is a game changer if you are successful. The ability to remove 3 of your opponent's cards (one from their hand, one from the field, and one from the Graveyard) will halt any momentum in their favor and swing it to you.
3. T.G. Hyper Librarian
Pros:
- Gives you card advantage.
- Can be used in any Synchro Deck.
Cons:
- Not a deck leader (used more for enhancing a Synchro Deck).
Comment:
T.G. Hyper Librarian is mandatory in any Synchro-Type deck. That should be written into the rule book somewhere. No single card made more of an impact to the summoning of Synchro Monsters than this card. It made EVERY Synchro deck more destructive and harder to compete with. I honestly can't think of one bad thing to say about this card. It's the best at what it does.
2. Stardust Dragon
Pros:
- Easy to summon.
- One of the best card effect in the game.
- Hard to destroy.
- Has stronger incarnations and lots of card support.
Cons:
- Doesn't have the "game ending" stats.
Comment:
The card effect is what makes Stardust Dragon such a problem for opponents to deal with. He destroys, gets removed so he can't be attacked, then comes back to do it all over again. It's basically a hit-and-run card. But the great thing about Stardust Dragon is that it can be played in any Synchro Deck and it can successfully compete against any Synchro Deck. All around, the best and most balanced Synchro card.
1. Dark Strike Fighter
Pros:
- Easy to summon.
- OTK (one turn kill) ability.
- Most powerful Synchro Card.
Cons:
- Forbidden on the Advanced Format.
Comment:
Dark Strike Fighter is the definition of "uh-oh factor". You literally can hear your opponent say "uh-oh" when he hits the playing field. With the ability to end a duel the moment he comes into play, Dark Strike Fighter made it possible for anybody to be victorious (no matter how bad they played). Thankfully they locked him away on the Forbidden list and threw away the key. This is one monster that will never be taken off that list...hopefully.
