Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG - Top 10 Best Fusion Spells

In the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, the only way you could summon a fusion monster was with Polymerization's effect. However, as the game grew in speed and power, we needed new ways to use fusions and spend as minimum cards as possible.

With time, fusion spells evolved quite a lot and became more valuable to players. So I decided to give you a list with the best fusion spells in the game nowadays.

Check out below the best fusion spells in Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG!

10 - Red-Eyes Fusion

To open our list, we have Red-Eyes Fusion, which summons the powerful Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, possibly the strongest monster you can access through this list's fusion spells.

Despite this and its "modern design" (as it uses materials from your deck), this card isn't considered viable by many players because of the restrictions it imposes on its player: you can't normal summon or special summon monsters on the turn you activate it.

9 - Ultra Polymerization

This card is not that well-known, but its effect is fascinating. Ultra Polymerization only uses materials you control to fusion summon something, but it is protected: it can't be answered by enemy cards or effects. However, the best thing about this card is its second effect, which summons, from your graveyard, the materials you just used to fusion summon something. Even though their effects will be negated and their ATK/DEF points zeroed, you can use them for another fusion or even to link summon something. This is how you get to do more throughout the game and recycle your resources.

8 - Mask Change II

Mask Change II is also quite interesting, but not very popular. You can both use it to play around interactions that target a monster, and to summon Masked HERO Dark Law, one of the strongest floodgates in the game, in decks centered around Dark attribute monsters.

7 - Invocation

Invocation's first effect fusion summons anything (from your archetype or not) by using just the monsters in your hand as materials. However, this card's greatest feature is that, if you summon an Invoked monster with it, you can banish monsters from your board or any duelist's graveyard and then use them as fusion materials.

Furthermore, this card can recycle itself (by shuffling itself in your deck) and one of your banished Aleister the Invoker (by returning them to your hand), which gives you some follow-up.

6 - Shaddoll Fusion

Shaddoll Fusion can only use materials from your deck if your opponent controls at least one extra deck monster. Because of this and the various effects Shaddoll monsters have when they're sent to the graveyard, it is a versatile boardbreaker.

5 - Instant Fusion

Instant Fusion has been historically problematic in Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, and many players have asked Konami to ban it throughout the years, as it is, truly, quite unbalanced.

Currently, there is no meta deck that plays this card (like the Tearlaments format, for instance). However, you can still use it to protect your plays from handtraps by using it to access Millennium-Eyes Restrict, which negates the effect of a monster on your opponent's board or graveyard.

4 - Fusion Destiny

Just like Red-Eyes Fusion, you can use Fusion Destiny to summon a single, powerful monster, called Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer. "Phoenix Enforcer" might be weaker than "Dragoon" on its own, but everything around it is superior, like its materials (which are valuable in your graveyard), and its own fusion spell. In fact, its fusion spell is way less restrictive, as it only locks you down after you use it, so it lets you play other combos before you activate it.

3 - Branded Fusion

On our third place, we have Branded Fusion, which is considered by many the best fusion spell in the game. It is a powerful and versatile 1-card combo, and has synergy with several archetypes in addition to the ones in its lore. It only occupies our third spot because of its restriction, which doesn't let you xyz, synchro, or link summon anything on the turn you activate it.

2 - Ostinato

On our second place, we have Ostinato, a card from 2018 that only became relevant in 2024 after Legacy of Destruction was released, as this set brought excellent support cards for Melodious.

Now, it has become quite powerful. It is also standing out because it is a 1-card combo that can set up the entire archetype combo or give you an Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess if you use it as an engine in other decks.

The best thing about this card is that it only has a small restriction: you can only use it if you don't control any monsters. However, you're free to use any extra deck summons you have after you activate it.

1 - Super Polymerization

Our first place is Super Polymerization, which, besides unanswerable by cards or effects, lets you use your opponent's monsters as material for your fusion summons. This way, this card is an exceptional boardbreaker, as it removes resources from your opponent's board and creates value from it.

Currently, the most interesting targets for Super Polymerization are: Garura, Wings of Resonant Life and Mudragon of the Swamp.
