Yusei Fudo's Decks

Yusei plays a Warrior Deck featuring the "Synchron" monsters.

Those who know him very well (such as Jack, Kalin and Crow) say that he is starting to get predictable because he has been using the same basic strategies for a long time. Despite this, Yusei is still known for his genius Dueling style, of being able to quickly comprehend his opponent's tactics and quickly formulate an effective counter strategy.

His Decks are generally low powered, with most of the initial cards obtained from Satellite after residents of New Domino City threw them out. prior to the series. The Deck focuses on swarming the field with low Level monsters, letting him easily perform Synchro Summons to gain an advantage.

Currently he has the best Dueling record of all main protagonists in the anime, with only 1 defeat (in a flashback), a few Duels with no result and all the other Duels won. In the manga, he also has a similar record, with only 1 defeat, and all the rest won.

In addition to this, as the season progressed he obtained an array of new Synchron monsters, cards to support them as well as their Warrior synchro's. He also gathered a selection of cards to support his ace monster, "Stardust Dragon" such as "Starlight Road" and "Shooting Star Dragon".

This Deck's card count adds up exactly to 40 cards. Most of this Deck's cards feature criminal-like monsters or other shady cards. This Decks' contents were given back to their owners once Yusei defeated Mr. Armstrong.

He also received a selection of new Traps which negate damage or opponents monsters effects.
