The God Cards SUCK; And so does the Seal of Oricalchos

The Egyptian Gods
They Wrecked the Anime

The three “Egyptian God Cards” are the single WORST thing to happen to Yu-Gi-Oh! Oh, sure, seeing them perform for the first time was awesome, but the god cards should’ve been flung into the ocean afterward like Exodia was by Weevil. The Gods paved the way for mysticism and overpowered cards to rush into the anime.

Take the Seal of Oricalchos. This card powers up all monsters on your side of the field by 500 points and expands both the Monster and Magic/Trap zones to 10. Were this a real card, it would be slapped onto the ban list incredibly quickly. In the show, it led to every opponent Yugi faced playing the card. The duels began to get BORING, as they’d all end with Yugi summoning his “Legendary Dragon.”

Compare that to the riveting duel between Yugi and Pegasus. Those 5 episodes were truly interesting and, after them, the whole series declined. Anyway, so that’s my rant: the Gods, the Seal of Oricalcos, and all those other crappy, legendary cards spawned a host of MSN communities in which blowhard admins strut around saying “lyk oh em gee i b da onlee one who can play da g0ds and da s3al ub 0ricalc0s and LYK YEW BE BANNED IF YEW DO 1T HAHAHAHA!!!” So annoying.

i was never a fan of the anime, having always prefered the manga myself, but i agree 100%

and what's funny, is that they could have fixed the problems with the gods by releasing them, translated, using the ruling i use when i allow them to be played at league. which is, funnily enough, lord of d's regenerating effect, only it happened during the endphase of the turn, and they didn't have to be destroyed by the effect, they could die in any manner. and still, despite the fact allot of kids had them, NO ONE would deck them. hehehe...they suck in the anime, they suck in the card game, and they ruin it for all.


as for the seal...you're right, that is a little over powering....since it allows sheep tokes to be used with a huge field@_@

NOTHING embodied the permanent damage the Gods did to Yugioh more than the Yugioh movie. The movie centered around a sigle duel in which increasingly ridiculous monsters were brought out. And they didn't even have LP and ATK power captions -- WTF?

Inferno Tempest -- looks situational to me, but if you got it to work, good for you.

I spit on the god cards. Dam straight they ruined the show. The seal of oriekalkos wasnt as bad (just made it harder on opponent) but still. Im still trying to suppress the memories from that horible, horrible movie *Hmmmm I have exchange and diffusion wave motion in my hand.... what can I play.... DOUBLE SPELL!!!!*

Need I remind you of Dartz's final battle with Yugioh?

"Hahahah! I made up three uberly-powerful cards that can't be defeated, and for some reason my duel disk recognizes them as real! Now you can't attack and your monster effects, magics, and traps are worthless!"

WTF are the people at 4Kids smoking? Slifer pales in comparison to those ridiculous cards. And Yugi and Kaiba cheated at the beginning of the duel -- how else could they get out that 5K atk monster on Turn 1?

The series started sucking as soon as the final battle with Pegasus ended. TER is godly enough for me, thank you very much.

I forgot about that, I was talking about the first layer that all of darts' minions were using.

BTW, my "WTF" was directed at 4Kids, not you -- I edited my post to reflect that.

These god cards were mostly brought over to the TCG for the younger YGO audience IMO. Serious players don't need them, collectors like them, little kids absolutely adore them. Not much else to say about them since they can't and won't ever be used in a real tournament.
