Forum:Did Yugi have 41 cards in Pyramid of Light?

In the anime, it seems to be a set rule that you can only have exactly 40 cards in your deck; no more, no less. However, every time I count the number of cards that Yugi uses in Pyramid of Light, it comes out to 41. Let me explain (if Yugi's Deck did, indeed, have 40 cards) :

Start of Duel: Yugi starts out with 5 cards in his hand. (Hand 5/Deck 35)

Turn 1: Draws card, summons Queen's Knight, attacks, special summons King's Knight from his hand, special summons Jack's Knight from his deck, sets Mirror Force. (Hand 3, Deck 33)

Turn 2: Draws card, summons Slifer the Sky Dragon, attacks. (Hand 3/Deck 32)

During Kaiba's turn, Kaiba uses Obligatory Summon to force Yugi to summon Obelisk the Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra from his Deck (Hand 3/Deck 30)

Turn 3: Draws card, summons Magician's Valkyria, attacks, 10 of Yugi's cards from his deck get sent to the Graveyard due to Kaiba's Deck Destruction Virus. (Hand 3/Deck 19)

Turn 4: Draws card, Activates Premature Burial, special summons Magician's Valkyria from his Graveyard, activates Mage Power, sets Monster Reborn and Sage's Stone, attacks, loses 10 cards get sent to the Graveyard. (Hand 0/Deck 8)

Turn 5: Draws card, Activates Monster Reborn, special summons Dark Magician Girl from his Graveyard, activates Sage's Stone, special summons Dark Magician from his deck, special summons Sorcerer of Dark Magic from his hand, attacks. (Hand 0/Deck 6)

Turn 6: Draws card, attacks. (Hand 1/Deck 5)

Turn 7: Draws card, summons Big Shield Gardna (Hand 1/Deck 4)

Turn 8: Draws card, activates Pot of Greed, special summons Watapon from his hand, summons Obnoxious Celtic Guard[ian]. (Hand 1/Deck 1)

Turn 9: Draws card, sets Reverse of Reverse (Hand 1/Deck 0)

Turn 10: Draws card, activates Double Spell, uses Kaiba's Monster Reborn to special summons Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, uses its effect to destroy Pyramid of Light. (Hand 0/Deck -1)

Wins on Kaiba/Anubis's turn using Reverse of Reverse to activate Kaiba's Return from the Different Dimension, bringing his Egyptian God Cards back onto the field, combining them, and attacking.

(Sorry this is so long!) See the problem with Yugi's deck? Anyone know what happened here? --WeezleBeezle (talk • contribs) 19:44, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
