Anyone who has ever played a video game knows the difference between a minion or grunt and the big, bad boss. It’s the same for Yugioh! Most of the monster cards in the game are comparable to minions, grunts, footmen, etc., but there are some monsters who take the cake as the deck’s true muscle. These monsters are called “boss” monsters, and they play a pivotal role in a deck’s power to win. Let’s take a look at some Yugioh boss monsters and what they are capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several different categories of Yugioh boss monsters, each with their own method of controlling the game. Some boss monsters fit into multiple categories. Some commonly accepted boss monster categories are: OTK (One Turn Kill), disruption\/negation, Towers, resource management\/advantage, and removal. Some bosses are capable of obliterating your opponent with massive attack power or multiple attacks in one turn, while others are totally unaffected by your opponent’s card effects, and even still, others can wipe your opponent’s board or completely negate their effects and disrupt their plays.
