Yami Marik's Decks

Yami Marik runs an Immortality-Torture Deck, which focuses on slowly torturing his opponents and watching them squirm. In the theme of pain Yami Marik's cards slowly sap an opponent's strength, such as discarding their hand with "Helpoemer", lowering ATK with "Newdoria" and "Plasma Eel", and inflicting Burn damage with "Coffin Seller" and "Bowganian". Some of his cards, like "Nightmare Wheel" and the manga-exclusive "Byser Shock" and "Viser Des", are based on torture machines. Yami Marik's deck otherwise relies on a variety of powerful Trap cards and Fiend-type monsters. With "The Winged Dragon of Ra" as his trump card, Yami Marik uses a variety of cards to discard it, then revive it with "Monster Reborn" to devestate opponents. He further relies on retrieving "Monster Reborn" to his hand after using it initially to continue to revive Ra again and again, using cards such as "Left Arm Offering" and "Magical Stone Excavation". Yami Marik also uses some of the cards previously used by Rare Hunters such as "Revival Jam" and in the anime "Masked Beast Des Gardius".

Without the Egyptian God cards available in this game, Yami Marik's deck focuses on low-Level monsters with drawback effects. He has multiple ways of clearing the field, forcing discards, and even burning his opponent's Life Points. In addition, his "Muka Muka" can reach a surprisingly high ATK with the combination of "Infinite Cards".
