Self Destruct Button - Garbage to Broken
Self-Destruct Button is a trap card which was possibly made as a joke. All the card does is if there is a 7000 LifePoint difference between you and your opponent, then the game becomes a tie. Now you might think that a tie game is a bad thing, because you still have to go into another game until someone wins the best 2/3 when it comes to a match. However, it was infinitely easier to activate Self-Destruct Button than it was to activate a card which would win you the game. So what eventually happened, was this card that no one ever played with, eventually started to see competitive play, because players figured out that if they just simply won game one, they could go into Self-Destruct Button in order to cause tie games until time limit, where they would win because they had won one over their opponent. And Yu-Gi-Oh, is designed around best two out of three. And because of that it's actually pretty easy to take at least one win during the first turn if you play a really sacky deck, something which doesn't matter if you just plan on tieing the other game so your opponent can't use their side deck in order to prevent your constant tieing. It was one of the legal ways in order to slow play until you got a win, so the card was eventually banned to stop players from having the option of doing this. However the speed of modern Yu-Gi-Oh has gone to the point, where this wouldn't really be a viable strategy anymore, and is one of those cards just kind of left on the banned list, just because.
