i see what you did there pointed out the poor / misuse of the word illegal meaning do it and be arrested for it . that print (this card can not be used in a duel) just means collectors item there is a loop hole any thing can be used as a token space holder
Seal of Orichalcos: Steal your opponent’s soul. Dzeeff: It sounds like a great effect, but the truth is that it doesn’t do anything. You are just trading one card for a soul, and all Yugioh players know that card economy is way more important than a soul. That’s why nobody plays the Seal of Orichalcos. Also dzeeff: Commenters don’t understand Seal of Orichalcos.
@Nero Raul: One of the reason Seal of Orichalcos did not receieve the anime effect, was because of religion, some people are too serious with religion because the card force you to give-up your soul regligion people would think it his real and you really have to litteraly give-up your soul, and it his not just pretending to give-up your soul, the other reason, his their his too many different think that can represent losing your soul to the winner. Because if you remember in the animated series, for the cast with Maximilion Pegasus, loseing your soul mean you because his servant for infinitiy, untill your friend win back your soul in a duel against Maximilion Pegasus, while for the cast with Marik Ishtar, its Evil version you lose your soul, your in infinity Coma if the infinity Nightmare Bothers you and you only wake-up if the Infinity Nightmare does not bother you, like what happen to Joey after loseing his soul to Marik, he did wake-up before Yami yugi defeated Marik.
Even if you did play the card, it'd be illegal anyway. Stealing your opponent's soul would essentially be killing them, and if your opponent is dead then they won't be able to continue the match, thus putting Seal of Orichalcos in the same category as the match winners. Now that I think about it, it'd be even stronger than the match winners, since the opponent wouldn't be able to forfeit the duel without being out of the match. Never mind the part where they fucking die
@@mezasepkmn pot of greed would make FTK's a lot more consistent, since it's a +1 that is not limited to once per turn, such as Exodia and Magical explosion, which are cancer decks as they don't promote interaction between players. So, -are-are you dumb?
7:40 When he was talking about taking someone elses soul with the seal of orichalcos and he said it would be pretty hard to get your hands on it i thought he was talking about the soul
People who complain about original print God cards being illegal also cannot figure out why their cosplay swords were not allowed at fencing tournaments.
Fun fact. They nerfed the printed version of Card of Last Will even though it is illegal. In the anime, the atk of one of your monsters just needs to be changed, not changed to exactly 0. Marik used it in the duel against Mai in a combo with Makyura the Destructor and I remember it as being really funny because it was one of the few times in the anime where they focus on card advantage. Yugi becomes really worried I think that Marik can stage a comeback now with a new hand while everyone else is only concerned with the life point differential. I think it would be really cool for them to reintroduce it at some point (altered or unaltered) as part of Marik support though because we don't see much of that these days. Lol, he used tons of these crazy free +3-5 cards during the show because his strategy was constantly reliant on reusing monster reborn with cards like magical stone excavation and left arm offering with substantial discard costs. Edit. Also a fun fact. You know it's a Marik card as well because the five cards shown in the artwork are all cards used almost exclusively by him during the anime.
lolnopound No it doesn’t. Banlist are basically strong card effects, but they are puny against the mighty Egyptians God Cards, who do not bow to such rules.
More like Dzeeff doesn't understand the god cards. The legendary collection god cards can't be used because they have the front color (red, blue, yellow) on the back. So even if they let you summon it as a normal monster, you'd still know when you're about to draw it because it's a different color from other cards. That's why they're illegal
I understand them. OBELISK blows up the opponent's front row with two tribute but can't attack Slider gains attack points for every card in your hand and can weaken/destroy a monster if one is summoned to the opponent's field. Ra drains life points to do anythong and is generally bad
Victory dragon was legal at some point, and you just could not surrender legally, so you had to scoop** (physically pick up all your cards, and shuffle them) breaking the "current legal state" of the game (can't tell which card goes where, so you can't rebuild the board), giving you with a game loss (better lose a duel than the match)... And so the therm scoop began to be used as a synonymous of giving up the game (even thought you didn't mix and shuffle your cards to lose)
wrong. TCG you were always allowed to surrender during either players turn at any point even in middle of chains. (just not during resolution of effects.) OCG is different, which is why in OCG VD is legal.
Some guy got a dq at a regional because he used the duelist kingdom promos as tokens. The judge ruled in a rule shark’s favor because the promos said “this card cannot be used in a duel”...
Interestingly, a Facebook YGO ruling group I’m part of was having a discussion just a few months back about how the “This card cannot be used in a duel” text excludes that card from even being used as a Token or Field Centre, because otherwise they could be mistaken for some other game element.
Slangens A lot of card game mats don’t mark out zones (even many official YGO mats) and since zones matter in YGO so much more than other card games the centre is usually marked by another object. There are official YGO field centres but you can use pretty much anything that’s small and rectangular (such as an MtG or Pokémon card, or even the notepad being used to track Life Points). You can’t use a YGO card however, since these can be easily mistaken for a game element. As far as I’m aware, a field centre is entirely optional even for tournaments, but marking out the centre is especially useful with Master Rule 4 as the two Extra Monster zones are either side of the field centre.
4:32 Also want to note that the original prints of the Egyptian Gods also had different colored backs, where normal cards have the brown and black you would expect, Obelisk has a blue tint to his back, Slifer a red tint, and Ra a yellow tint. I *believe* every print of the Illegal Egyptian Gods had this trend, but I could be wrong. I do know the original prints and some other prints have this tinted color backs.
11:08 I'll response to that. Salamangreat have a secondary effect in his Field Spell that if one of his monsters battles, you can pay 1000 LP to make the ATK of one of your Link Monsters zero to gain their original ATK as LP, so there's a situation of a recent deck that can get advantage of Card of Last Will if the card was legal.
I had a copy of "card of last will" and taught:"what is this?! How can i activate this? I have no effects to activate this, but nice that i can draw cards" i was 8
"The god cards are too powerful , that's why they're banned." Yep totally , 100% agree with the people who comment that. Earlier in duel links my opponent summoned obelisk by tributing 3 paleozoics and he just destroyed me by attacking me. Just kidding , as soon as he attacked I used widespread ruin and he scooped lmfao
That's the Shonen Jump version of the God Cards, which are actually underpowered. He's talking about the completely worthless 2005 "collector" versions that had no effects and the card backs were a funny color.
Alchemy Cycle, i have an old damaged version of that card lying around somewhere... i think. lowers all your monsters atk to 0 and if they are destroyed, draw a card each time. so its a 2 card combo with card of last will to draw a ton of cards.
Card of Last Will was changed, in the Anime it could be procked if your monster’s ATK was changed by an opponent card effect at all, the RL version required your monster’s ATK to hit 0 by any card effect
I play Cardfight and there's a card that actually states on it that you cannot use it in a deck beyond a certain specific date (Epitome of Knowledge, Silvest). There are also a couple of cards that actually allow you to play more than a legal playset. A card called Mass Production Sailor allows you to play up to 16 copies of it in a deck where the max is 4 for other cards. It never saw play, but still
If I remember the show correctly. Card of last Will was used twice, (Once by Joey and once by Marik) and one of the times the monster’s Attack didn’t even have to be reduced to zero. Note: I did not verify this and I don’t really want to wade through the episodes to find them anytime soon. If someone else could verify this that would be awesome.
Cards of Last Will would be crazy in Salamangreats since they can reduce their link monsters attacks to 0 to gain life points, usually right before you use them for Link Summons of themselves for their bonus effects
I think the Reptillian monsters have effects that reduce monsters attacks to 0. There’s also venom monsters that focus on reducing attack. Basically stuff from 2009 and before.
I once saw a deck profile from a top player on a regional, he actually got a warning from the judges because he was using the import cards from the TV show as tokens, they told him that those cards weren't even allowed to be played as tokens.
For card of last will, with magnet warriors you can pull out two magnets really quickly, xyz for gorgonic guardian and target your own monster for 0 attack. Gorgonic is a quick effect too and only lasts till the end of the turn.
10:56 night express knight, a train card, allows you to normal summon the card without any tributes, but it's attack becomes 0. Which I believe allows the card to be used.
I remember that some kids in school told me that I can only use one sapphire pegasus because it said 'limited' on the card. It was a limited edition because it was a promo tin card.....
Early on in the OCG's lifespan, they released Normal Monster versions of some Ritual Monsters like Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Black Chaos, and Zera the Mant. And from what I gathered, these cards are all one of a kind.
Side deck card of last will against blackwings back in the day. Let your opponent use armor master effect then instant cards. I know that effect wasn't used much but you could easily let your opponent use it if they could or at least let them fear you had a rebuttle.
On the topic of The Seal of Orichalcos: I am currently 20 and when I was a little kid at least 14 years ago before I actually learned how to play the card game I used think that if I ever played I would actually lose part of my soul for each life point I lost. Somehow I actually convinced myself to risk my soul and go to my first tournament in 2009 and learned how to play at the Absolute Powerforce sneak peak tournament. I specifically remember getting stomped in non-draft tournaments by Machina Gadgets and Miracle Diva Heroes. Good times...
Card of the last will would be kinda good with skullservants, since the princess is a handtrap that can make the effect possible to activate while giving you the edge sometimes, outside of that no clue
The last 3 cards that you mentioned you can get in a Japanese Pegasus starter deck. I know cause I bought the Japanese Pegasus starter deck at Newbury Comics in Massachusetts.
the seal is real used to come with that weird Kb toy duel disk set that was kb toy only but i just made your monsters have 500 plus attack to all monsters on your side a rather let down to such a cool card i gave mine to my friend cause he liked the show arc so much.
To add to the point about the illegal God Cards; one of the newer reprintings (namely, the ones from Yugi's Legendary Decks) also have the backs of the cards tinted in the card's color on the front (blue, red and yellow). So to recap, they don't have their effects, they cannot be used in a duel, and even if you did, with those versions, both you and your opponent would know which card is up next on top of your Deck. (And then you'd get called out for using illegal cards anyway.)
@@willieoelkers5568 Honestly, i have no idea. Something about you could mark your cards with clear ones. Also if you have an old school say, Monster Reborn and its damaged and all your other cards are near mint, you can tell its monster reborn and top deck it, or your opponent can shuffle it to the very bottom if they happen to know after game 1 or even mid match. I recently learned about this as well when i bought some clear dragon shield and i was told they were illegal even if all your cards are mint condition (mine were). I thought i was proposterous, but i understand.
This is also true for some (I don't know if its all) older printings of those cards. The set I own has the same overall tint and I got it in a game around the mid 2000s.
Card of last will would be ok in salamngreat, I can't remember the name of the card but the effect is something along the lines of"reduce any monsters attack to 0 and gain life points equal to the attack of that monster" then you could activate card of last will and draw.
my friends and I would sometimes play w/ the original printings of the Egyptian God cards with agreed-upon effects & summon-conditions, just with goofy/gimmick decks, but obviously that doesn't work with actual play.
I was wondering why I never saw that text on my god cards till this video... turns out the text that says I cannot play the card is written in Egyptian while everything else is in English...
There's a trap card that literally says set the attack of all monsters you control to 0 until the end phase then draw a card every time one of them is destroyed it's called Alchemy Cycle so you'll go plus 4 and then get even more cards if your opponent is stupid enough to attack which they might be since the card is nowhere near known Card of Last Will would be nuts lol
If your opponent attacks you to end the duel with Victory Dragon, but you have a face up Skill Drain, do you still lose the Match lol? What if there's a Match Winner in the GY and you copy its effect with something and attack for game? Does you win the Match?
Card Of Last Will could be used in Salamangreats as their field spell can reduce their links to 0. I don't know if it would be good, but I imagine there would be some experimentation.
the way around it is you can use any thing as a place holder for a token. take a second look at the ban list there are 2 formats advanced and traditional and in using the traditional format the ban list becomes part of the limited list
Heres a little q. If you summon slither but you only have card of last will in your hand it would have 1000 atk/def. Now you end your turn after you place last will face down. Now your opponent attacks and you activate last will. Does slither then get 5000 atk/def? Or 0 because of the trap? Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough to understand.
depending on timing card of last will might have been viable in salamangreats because they have the field spell that can reduce a link monster's atk to zero, it's still pretty situational, but It would be an interesting option.
hmmm.... card of last will. i think there might actually be a deck out there that could use it. with my knowledge being limited to duel links, i recall a reptile archtype who's entire gimmick was changing various monsters to 0 atk: Reptiliannes. The issue becomes making one of your own monsters affected, but building a deck that can give your opponent a monster temporarily doesnt sound that hard.
Pretty much illegal cards are cards that were never meant to be played whereas banned cards were meant to be played but are/became too powerful for that current game state
Salamangreats could actually make use of Card of Last Will if it were legal. Salamangreat Sanctuary has the secondary effect that allows you to pay 1000LP to reduce the attack of one of your battling Salamangreat link monsters to 0 to gain life points equal to that monster's original attack during the damage step. if it somehow survives then you could activate Card of Last Will to refresh your hand.
What about the winged dragon of Ra card that was given an effect really close to the Anime one, but was also tournament-prize exclusive? (Or so I've heard/read)
I had no idea that blue eyes and dark magician have XYZ variants, and both XYZ's are illegal. my assumption would be because blue eyes and dark magician would be serving as their own overlay units for legendary dragon of white and legendary magician of dark and it would be three of them as Xyz Material/overlay units
0:11:20 - At this time, Salamangreats had Heatleo, so they could technically Ash the opponent, then summon Heatleo, make their own ATK 0, then draw up to 5 cards. :-)
The Duelist Kingdom cards cannot be used as tokens, it doesn't say they can't be used in a deck, it says they cannot be used in a duel. Officially, you are not allowed to use them as field centres or as tokens anything like that.
The Salamangreat Field Spell, Salamangreat Sanctuary, can reduce a Salamangreat monster's ATK to 0 to gain LP. But honestly speaking, they don't really need that trap when they can gain more than enough advantage.
The Collectors God Cards aren’t playable because a short description about the cards. Konami should just make those cards with effect on it, which a low you to use those color cards. People aren’t going to see the backside because of the sleeves covering the God cards.
Minor nitpick but it always annoyed me that the legal Egyptian god cards weren't colored correctly for the backgrounds, i know each card in the game has a specific color, but come on Konami, these were the only cards that you specifically showed in the show were colored different from every other card which made sense because they're supposed to be the top teir, strongest beasts in the game. Either don't include the alternate colors in the show or put them on the original legal cards.
If you could use "Card of Last Will" in a duel, it might work in Salamangreats since "Sanctuary"'s second effect lets you drop a Link Monster to 0. That might miss timing though, I'm not sure
The 3 God cards are illegal for a reason. Abacus the TaxAuditor, Swiper the NoSwiping Dragon, and Winged Chicken of Raw. George Washington knew when he wrote The Constitution what would happen after watching what the God cards did in the Japanese cartoons if they werent put on the Konami banlist so he made them illegal
Is it legal to play these cards as tokens? I'm more interested about the red, blue and yellow god cards since they are so visually different than legal cards as this could be the last chance to make the Egyptian gods good for competitive play.
". . . It mentions: like taking your opponent's soul, people probably wouldn't think that those were real cards, and also it would be pretty hard to get your hands on them in the first place." Yeah, I bet it would be difficult tk get your hands on anyone's soul.
Only Obelisk and Slifer kept their effects. Ra lost the ATK/DEF transfer effect from the tributes. Also, Ra has so many effects that Konami had to make like 15 different cards for it.
It's true. I remember a kid from my school being arrested at a local for using these cards.

Dzeeff forgets that slamangreat heatleo changes a monsters atk to a monsters atk that is in the gy so heatleo triggers card of last will
Sanctuary is more reliable for reducing attack to 0.
@@Greg501- happen during damage calculation cant activate it to sanctuary
@@Greg501- Sanctuary happens in the Damage Calculation portion of the Damage Step. Card of Last Will cannot be used during the Damage Step.
I think the Reptillian monsters have effects that reduce monsters attacks to 0. There’s also venom monsters that focus on reducing attack. Basically stuff from 2009 and before.
I once saw a deck profile from a top player on a regional, he actually got a warning from the judges because he was using the import cards from the TV show as tokens, they told him that those cards weren't even allowed to be played as tokens.
For card of last will, with magnet warriors you can pull out two magnets really quickly, xyz for gorgonic guardian and target your own monster for 0 attack. Gorgonic is a quick effect too and only lasts till the end of the turn.
Whoa, for what ever reason, YT's display your comment reading about how you felt about KH3 lol.
Here's an imgur link, so you can see what I'm taking about.

That feeling when Card of Last Will would be broken in Salamangreat because of Sanctuary's never used effect
10:56 night express knight, a train card, allows you to normal summon the card without any tributes, but it's attack becomes 0. Which I believe allows the card to be used.
I remember that some kids in school told me that I can only use one sapphire pegasus because it said 'limited' on the card. It was a limited edition because it was a promo tin card.....
Early on in the OCG's lifespan, they released Normal Monster versions of some Ritual Monsters like Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Black Chaos, and Zera the Mant. And from what I gathered, these cards are all one of a kind.
Side deck card of last will against blackwings back in the day. Let your opponent use armor master effect then instant cards. I know that effect wasn't used much but you could easily let your opponent use it if they could or at least let them fear you had a rebuttle.
On the topic of The Seal of Orichalcos: I am currently 20 and when I was a little kid at least 14 years ago before I actually learned how to play the card game I used think that if I ever played I would actually lose part of my soul for each life point I lost. Somehow I actually convinced myself to risk my soul and go to my first tournament in 2009 and learned how to play at the Absolute Powerforce sneak peak tournament.
I specifically remember getting stomped in non-draft tournaments by Machina Gadgets and Miracle Diva Heroes. Good times...
Commenters don't understand illegal Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Is this gag and meme even funny these days😂😂😂
@@soukenmarufwt5224 yes
Card of the last will would be kinda good with skullservants, since the princess is a handtrap that can make the effect possible to activate while giving you the edge sometimes, outside of that no clue
Vanguard had a Great Nature card that actually banned itself on a certain date back in 2013.
The 2005 prints of the Egyptian Gods are also marked. The card backs are tinged an easily distinguishable red, blue, or yellow
The last 3 cards that you mentioned you can get in a Japanese Pegasus starter deck. I know cause I bought the Japanese Pegasus starter deck at Newbury Comics in Massachusetts.
You could probably tech Card of Last Will in Salamangreats to plus off your own Heatleo.
the seal is real used to come with that weird Kb toy duel disk set that was kb toy only but i just made your monsters have 500 plus attack to all monsters on your side a rather let down to such a cool card i gave mine to my friend cause he liked the show arc so much.
To add to the point about the illegal God Cards; one of the newer reprintings (namely, the ones from Yugi's Legendary Decks) also have the backs of the cards tinted in the card's color on the front (blue, red and yellow). So to recap, they don't have their effects, they cannot be used in a duel, and even if you did, with those versions, both you and your opponent would know which card is up next on top of your Deck. (And then you'd get called out for using illegal cards anyway.)
Its illegal to play in tournaments without sleeves. And clear sleeves are also illegal, except for the extra deck.
@@darkjester-sama9502 Really? They actually force people to get solid sleeves? Why?
@@willieoelkers5568 Honestly, i have no idea. Something about you could mark your cards with clear ones. Also if you have an old school say, Monster Reborn and its damaged and all your other cards are near mint, you can tell its monster reborn and top deck it, or your opponent can shuffle it to the very bottom if they happen to know after game 1 or even mid match. I recently learned about this as well when i bought some clear dragon shield and i was told they were illegal even if all your cards are mint condition (mine were). I thought i was proposterous, but i understand.
This is also true for some (I don't know if its all) older printings of those cards. The set I own has the same overall tint and I got it in a game around the mid 2000s.
Card of last will would be ok in salamngreat, I can't remember the name of the card but the effect is something along the lines of"reduce any monsters attack to 0 and gain life points equal to the attack of that monster" then you could activate card of last will and draw.
my friends and I would sometimes play w/ the original printings of the Egyptian God cards with agreed-upon effects & summon-conditions, just with goofy/gimmick decks, but obviously that doesn't work with actual play.
I was wondering why I never saw that text on my god cards till this video... turns out the text that says I cannot play the card is written in Egyptian while everything else is in English...
Card of Last Will could be maybe used in Lost World Dinos, whenever you summon a 500- non-Dino you would meet the conditions for the card.
I remember when I took my friends soul in a duel.
Good times. Good times~
There's a trap card that literally says set the attack of all monsters you control to 0 until the end phase then draw a card every time one of them is destroyed it's called Alchemy Cycle so you'll go plus 4 and then get even more cards if your opponent is stupid enough to attack which they might be since the card is nowhere near known Card of Last Will would be nuts lol
Black hole
banishing cards
If your opponent attacks you to end the duel with Victory Dragon, but you have a face up Skill Drain, do you still lose the Match lol? What if there's a Match Winner in the GY and you copy its effect with something and attack for game? Does you win the Match?
Card Of Last Will could be used in Salamangreats as their field spell can reduce their links to 0. I don't know if it would be good, but I imagine there would be some experimentation.
the way around it is you can use any thing as a place holder for a token. take a second look at the ban list there are 2 formats advanced and traditional and in using the traditional format the ban list becomes part of the limited list
You missed a couple of prize cards from OCG like Masahiro the Dark Clown and Yasushi the Skull Knight
This was really interesting. It’s cool to learn why these cards actually say they can’t be used.
Heres a little q. If you summon slither but you only have card of last will in your hand it would have 1000 atk/def. Now you end your turn after you place last will face down. Now your opponent attacks and you activate last will. Does slither then get 5000 atk/def? Or 0 because of the trap? Sorry if I didn't explain it well enough to understand.
depending on timing card of last will might have been viable in salamangreats because they have the field spell that can reduce a link monster's atk to zero, it's still pretty situational, but It would be an interesting option.
11:50 I would laugh soooo hard if there was Mokuba, Kaiba, and grandpa cards
hmmm.... card of last will. i think there might actually be a deck out there that could use it. with my knowledge being limited to duel links, i recall a reptile archtype who's entire gimmick was changing various monsters to 0 atk: Reptiliannes. The issue becomes making one of your own monsters affected, but building a deck that can give your opponent a monster temporarily doesnt sound that hard.
Can you use set sail the the kingdom, duelist Kingdom, and glory of the king’s hand as tokens
If Card of Last Will was legal, would Living Fossil be able to trigger it? If so then it would just make Isolde much more powerful.
Pretty much illegal cards are cards that were never meant to be played whereas banned cards were meant to be played but are/became too powerful for that current game state
Salamangreats could actually make use of Card of Last Will if it were legal. Salamangreat Sanctuary has the secondary effect that allows you to pay 1000LP to reduce the attack of one of your battling Salamangreat link monsters to 0 to gain life points equal to that monster's original attack during the damage step. if it somehow survives then you could activate Card of Last Will to refresh your hand.
What about the winged dragon of Ra card that was given an effect really close to the Anime one, but was also tournament-prize exclusive? (Or so I've heard/read)
I had no idea that blue eyes and dark magician have XYZ variants, and both XYZ's are illegal. my assumption would be because blue eyes and dark magician would be serving as their own overlay units for legendary dragon of white and legendary magician of dark and it would be three of them as Xyz Material/overlay units
pretty sure by official duels is tournament settings but usable in casual duels.
The best way to Nerf pot of greed is to add this card can not be used in a duel and keep it's normal effect
The effect in the anime it was just if your monster loses attack points not if it was dropped to 0
Remember the original printing of Temple of the Kings and Mystical Beast of Serket in Structure Deck Marik were also illegal until an erratad reprint
They were just banned iirc
UDE seal of orichalcos is real... I even own one directly sent from UDE back when they were part of yugioh for event duels and such.
0:11:20 - At this time, Salamangreats had Heatleo, so they could technically Ash the opponent, then summon Heatleo, make their own ATK 0, then draw up to 5 cards. :-)
The Duelist Kingdom cards cannot be used as tokens, it doesn't say they can't be used in a deck, it says they cannot be used in a duel.
Officially, you are not allowed to use them as field centres or as tokens anything like that.
Card o last will in heratics
Pendulum Magician use supreme king gate
The Salamangreat Field Spell, Salamangreat Sanctuary, can reduce a Salamangreat monster's ATK to 0 to gain LP. But honestly speaking, they don't really need that trap when they can gain more than enough advantage.
Fusion decks could use card of last will with ultra polymerization
The Collectors God Cards aren’t playable because a short description about the cards. Konami should just make those cards with effect on it, which a low you to use those color cards. People aren’t going to see the backside because of the sleeves covering the God cards.
I got arrested for using the Seal of Orichalcos once... my opponent lost the duel, so he lost his soul.
Card of Last Will is the perfect counter against Reptilliannes. Completely wrecks them.
7:57 get your hands on the card or the soul?
I have a suggestion, top 5 once per duel effects!
unknown synchron
Fun fact: The SD Marik guide told you to use the legendary collection version of Ra in the deck
You know, the one that's not legal for use.
You are right for some reason they said that or predicted the future
Minor nitpick but it always annoyed me that the legal Egyptian god cards weren't colored correctly for the backgrounds, i know each card in the game has a specific color, but come on Konami, these were the only cards that you specifically showed in the show were colored different from every other card which made sense because they're supposed to be the top teir, strongest beasts in the game. Either don't include the alternate colors in the show or put them on the original legal cards.
If you could use "Card of Last Will" in a duel, it might work in Salamangreats since "Sanctuary"'s second effect lets you drop a Link Monster to 0. That might miss timing though, I'm not sure
I don't think it misses timing at all. It says "If" not "When."
The 3 God cards are illegal for a reason. Abacus the TaxAuditor, Swiper the NoSwiping Dragon, and Winged Chicken of Raw. George Washington knew when he wrote The Constitution what would happen after watching what the God cards did in the Japanese cartoons if they werent put on the Konami banlist so he made them illegal
Card of last will would be an interesting side deck for despia counters
Is it legal to play these cards as tokens? I'm more interested about the red, blue and yellow god cards since they are so visually different than legal cards as this could be the last chance to make the Egyptian gods good for competitive play.
wait, you forgot about the oversized cards, the giant cards that come with some boxes like duel overload.
the salamangreat field spell works with card of last will really well
". . . It mentions: like taking your opponent's soul, people probably wouldn't think that those were real cards, and also it would be pretty hard to get your hands on them in the first place."
Yeah, I bet it would be difficult tk get your hands on anyone's soul.
Only Obelisk and Slifer kept their effects. Ra lost the ATK/DEF transfer effect from the tributes. Also, Ra has so many effects that Konami had to make like 15 different cards for it.
Card of Last Will sounds like a spicy Salamangreat tech tbh
Sanctuary lookin mighty fine
New salamangreat field spell + card of last will.... Mmm :')
