Top 1! Top 10 Fusion Monsters

From all the Fusion Monsters ever printed for this game there is one that steals the spotlight from all others for it's awesome effects, the great combos it produces with other cards and it's place in the Ban List. I am talking of course about Thousand-Eyes Restrict.

Back in time this card was used in the Deck known as Goat Control, in which the player used to tribute a Scapegoat Token or a Magician of Faith with Metamorphosis to summon this guy and steal an opponent's monster. Then they summon Tsukuyomi and turned Restrict face-down only in order to be turned face-up and steal another Monster. This combo might not look good in paper but I must say that it is the ultimate mix of Control, Aggresion and Defence. For not only there is Restrict which can Stall any aggresive act from the opponent and stealing an opponent's monster every turn but there are also the Scapegoat Tokens which back in the day was an awesome card (just the fact that Asura Priest was mained decked mainly in order to destroy these fluffy shields proves that) that stalled the opponent in case they found a way to destroy Restrict and could be used in order to summon a second Restrict and re-control the flow of the Duel.

Number 1: Thousand-Eyes Restrict


But even Scapegoat Limited and Tsukuyomi, Magician of Faith and Metamorphosis Banned, Restrict could not be left to roam free in the Advanced Format. For not only there is Magical Scientist which is by himself a powerful Toolbox with Ryu Senshi, Dark Balter the Terrible, Fiend Skull Dragon and Dark Blade the Dragon Knight and this card was one of the most valuable assets to that Toolbox. Also there is Instant Fusion which can be used to bring this card, steal the opponent's most troublesome monster and then Synchro Summon for something with and additional Level.

When I saw this card for first time I wasn't sure in why it was Banned as it's effect was only slightly better than Reliquished. But the multiple and incredibly easy ways to summon this cards along with the great effects make a terrifying Control Monster which can easily change the flow of the Duel effortlesly. Thus this is the Top Fusion Monster of all Time!
