Synchro Monsters were the first new summoning mechanic introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Extra Deck during the 5D's era. It quickly became one of the strongest kinds of Extra Deck Monsters, with many powerful cards and Tuners being released over the years.
Yu-Gi-Oh: 10 Best Elemental HERO Cards
As the game has progressed, Synchro Monsters have become easier to make with how easy it is to flood the field with Tuner and non-Tuner Monsters. In many cases, Synchro Monsters serve as fantastic Boss Monsters that end boards always want to have. In other cases, Synchro Monsters have the versatility that allows them to advance their plays in future turns.
15. Ally Of Justice Catastor
While Ally Of Justice Catastor has fallen out of favour in recent years, it still remains one of the best Synchro Monsters that have appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh! meta. It's a simple Level Five Synchro Monster that can destroy any non-Dark Monster it attacks before damage even applies. This allows Ally Of Justice Catastor to get through a ton of Monsters that would otherwise prove near impossible to get rid of.
Level Five Synchro are incredibly easy to make, and in a meta without a lot of Dark Monsters, Ally Of Justice Catastor is a good Synchro Monster to stick in the Extra Deck.
14. Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier
Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier is among the many powerful Synchro Monsters that are a part of the Synchro Ice Barrier lineup. With Brionac, it can take care of just about any Monster on your opponent's side of the field.
Since Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier returns cards to the opponent's hand, it gets around every form of protection that isn't Targetting protection. It also makes you discard cards to use its effect, allowing you to set up your Graveyard while setting your opponent back for great tempo plays.
13. Junk Speeder
When Junk Speeder first came out, no one gave it a second thought due to Master Rule Four's Extra Deck Monster restrictions. However, with the revision in 2020, Junk Speeder became one of the best Synchro Monsters out there. For Synchro-focused decks, Junk Speeder can get any amount of Tuners you want from your deck onto the field.
Junk Speeder locks you into Synchro Monsters for the rest of the turn, but there are so many fantastic Synchro Monsters that can be made with Synchrons that this is hardly a downside.
12. Cosmic Blazar Dragon
Cosmic Blazar Dragon requires a lot of resources to make and is one of the few Monsters that need a Tuner Synchro Monster and two non-Tuner Synchro Monsters. However, if you decide to do so you are rewarded with one of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s best Synchro Monsters.
Cosmic Blazar Dragon comes with three fantastic effects it can use, all of which prevent your opponent from taking meaningful actions. It can stop a Battle Phase, negate a summon, or Omni-negate any effect, all while banishing itself so that your opponent can not try and take care of it after baiting out its effect.
11. Beelze Of The Diabolic Dragons
The King of many an FTK deck, Beelze Of The Diabolic Dragons was a menace during its prime. While it isn't as powerful now, it's still a good Synchro Monster to use for specific strategies. It's easy to make, only needing a Dark Tuner and a non-Tuner.
Beelze Of The Diabolic Dragons can still be hard for decks to get rid of, as it can't be destroyed by battle or card effects. Not only that, it constantly boosts its own Attack up to destroy the opponent's Monsters and Life Points. Its effect isn't once per turn either, allowing it to play a key role in Burn FTKs.
10. Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend
Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend is a generic Level Eight Tuner, one of the most common levels for Synchro Monsters. It has a situational field wipe effect, but a very powerful one if it can be used. The power to destroy all Special Summoned Monsters on the opponent's side of the field is great, and can even do a hefty bit of burn damage.
While it only destroys Monsters with Attack less than Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, the likelihood of the opponent having more than 3000 Attack is a low one that it will likely lead to a full wipe. It's one of the best Level Eight Synchro Monsters out there.
9. Black Rose Dragon
Black Rose Dragon is one of, if not the best Level Seven Synchro Monster. On its summon, you can choose to essentially active a Dark Hole that destroys not just Monsters, but Spell and Trap cards as well. It affects your field too, but you will likely only have Black Rose Dragon being destroyed while the opponent loses their entire field.
Gandora The Dragon Of Destruction (& 9 Other Cards Little Yugi Is Known For)
If the opponent is playing defensively, you can use its second effect to deal high damage to the opponent if they have any Monsters in Defense Position.
8. Formula Synchron
Formula Synchron is the most played Level Two Synchro and one of the few Synchro Tuner Monsters. It is primarily used to Synchro out into much more powerful Synchro Monsters, but this ability is so good that it's a staple in some of the best Synchro decks in the meta.
Its effect allows you to Synchro on the opponent's turn, so they can't play around with the Monster you are planning to summon. In addition, this can lead to a powerful interruption depending on the Synchro you go into. Level Two is one of the best Tuner levels, making Formula Synchron that much better.
7. T.G. Hyper Librarian
T.G. Hyper Librarian does not have any powerful negate effects, or great Attack or Defense stats. And yet, T.G. Hyper Librarian is such a good Synchro Monster that it is currently Limited on the ban list. It has a simple effect — any time a Monster is Synchro summoned, you can draw a card.
Card advantage is important in Yu-Gi-Oh!, so the ability to draw more than one card per turn is incredible. T.G. Hyper Librarian is a staple in practically every Synchro-heavy deck, as its effect is fantastic and is very easy to go into to make it one of the strongest Synchro Monsters in the game.
6. Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon
Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon requires a lot of effort to go into since it needs both a Tuner and a non-Tuner Synchro Monster to make. However, this effort is more than worth it. Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon comes with a free Monster negate once per turn that also destroys the Monster and gains Attack from it.

It is even good when battling, as it gets a stat boost if it battles a Level Five or higher Monster. While Xyz and Link Monsters make this effect less relevant, there are still plenty of Monsters that can be affected by it. Its 3000 Attack is already high, so boosting it even higher can lead to devastating damage.
5. Trishula, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier
Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is the best Level Nine Synchro Monster by a large margin. It has been a few different places on the ban list, with it currently being Limited. When summoned, Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier will banish three cards the opponent controls, one from the hand, one from the field, and one from the Graveyard.
This triple attack on the opponent's cards is fantastic and is even better because it is not once per turn. If you can recycle Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, you can keep using its effect to completely get rid of the opponent's hand. This gave Trishula a lasting legacy as one of the best Synchro Monsters ever printed.
4. Naturia Beast
Naturia Beast isn't a generic Synchro Monster, as it requires an Earth Tuner and non-Tuner Monster in order to make. Despite this, Naturia Beast is still one of the best Synchro Monsters ever released. It can constantly negate the effects of Spell cards, as its effect is not once per turn.
While the negate isn't exactly free, it only requires you to mill two cards from your deck. This is such a minor cost, especially with the trade-off of negating Spells — some of which are among the best cards in the game.
3. PSY-Framelord Omega
PSY-Framelord Omega is a genetic Level Eight Synchro Monster and is so good it has been Limited on the ban list for quite some time. PSY-Framelord Omega allows you to interrupt the opponent's turn by getting rid of a card from their hand for the duration of their turn.

Its graveyard effect allows you to not only recycle itself but other Monsters in your own Graveyard. This can create loops with other Monsters very easily. None of its effects are a hard once-per-turn either, so if it winds up in the Extra Deck you can use its effects all over again.
2. Herald Of The Arc Light
Herald of the Arc Light is one of the best Level Four Synchro Monsters and is incredibly versatile in two very different decks. In the best Synchro decks, it can act as a strong negate for both Spell and Trap cards. In addition, it has a floodgate-like effect where all cards sent from the hand or Main Deck are banished instead.
Ritual decks can even take advantage of it, as if it is sent to the Graveyard, you can add either a Ritual Spell or Monster. Ritual decks that can Synchro summon can even take advantage of all of its effects. Herald Of The Arc Light has a ton of great effects built into the one card.
1. Borreload Savage Dragon
Borreload Savage Dragon came out recently and took the crown as the best Synchro Monster in the game. It is a Level Eight Synchro Monster, which is the easier Synchro Level to go into and has generic requirements to make. It does require a Link Monster in the Graveyard to work, but practically every deck can accomplish this.
The boosted Attack from the equipped Monster can make Borreload Savage Dragon incredibly hard to deal with, especially since it comes with an Omni-negate as well. Borreload Savage Dragon is one of the best Boss Monsters in the game, and stands out as the most powerful Synchro in Yu-Gi-Oh!
