Yu-Gi-Oh has long been one of the most popular card games in the world. Konami, which currently owns the TCG brand, is constantly releasing new decks and archetypes to take advantage of. But let’s go back to the original work that spawned it all: the manga written and drawn by Kazuki Takahashi for Weekly Shonen Jump around the turn of the 90s and 2000s.
Back then there weren’t all the cards available today with limited protagonists and cards that pop up based on the situation. Yugi Muto has obviously drawn multiple cards and switched decks often. But what were they? five best cards owned by the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh?
The top 5 don’t see cards like the parts of Exodia, which are individually very weak and whose power can only be activated by a certain combination. In fifth position we find Summoned Skull. Summoned Skull is not the strongest card in Yugi’s deck, but it is ideal for the offensive phase and, above all, can count on the fact that, unlike the two of the black mage, it only needs one tribute and can often be merged with other cards by polymerisation .
In fourth place is Monster Resurrected, one of the most famous cards from Yu-Gi-Oh and one of the most widely used cards by the protagonist. It is no coincidence that Konami counts the card as one of the restrictions in the real TCG for very long periods of time. The same goes for other cards on this list, such as Sword of Revelation, in third position, which prevents the opponent from attacking directly for three rounds, which can save you a lot of time.
Second position instead for black hole, another limited and banned card that completely cleans up the battlefield and is therefore essential for starting everything from scratch. In the first place instead a card that can only show the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh. In fact, one of the Egyptian gods dominates the ranking, slifer the sky dragon, the only card of the three that he always has in his possession.
Here are Yu-Gi-Oh’s best protagonists as fans dream of an anime spin-off about Duel Monsters.
