Important Notes:
* Ban List: The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG has a "Ban List" that restricts certain cards from being used. This list changes frequently, so the strength of combos can fluctuate.
* Deck Building: The strength of a combo depends on the overall deck build. A good deck will have a balance of cards that support the combo, as well as cards that can handle different situations.
* Opponent's Strategy: The effectiveness of a combo depends on your opponent's strategy. Some combos are stronger against certain decks, while others are more versatile.
Ultimately, the strongest combos are those that are adaptable and resilient to different strategies, allowing you to consistently win games.
