Character Decks
These are just some semi-competitive decks based on characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and eventually Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (I haven't seen beyond GX) that I made in YGOPro or Dueling Network. Also, I only own one copy of Graceful Charity. The Yugi deck listed here is the only one I'm building in real life since I own more of the cards needed right now than I do for the other decks listed below.

In the case of cards like Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End, Crush Card Virus, Sangan, Witch of the Black Forest etc. that have been or might have an errata, I use the pre-erratta prints of these cards in YGOPro since these are just character decks.

(Note: I am aware that Infernal Curse of Dragon was renamed "Curse of Dragonfire" but I do not like that name as much, so it is addressed by its original name here. Compared to "Infernal Curse of Dragon", "Curse of Dragonfire" sounds to me like a Curse of Dragon support spell/trap card, not a monster. It makes me think of Dragon's Gunfire.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Card names written in bold are cards that I do not own yet, or in the case of "Return from the Different Dimension", I misplaced years ago and have not found it again yet.

Yami Yugi (Atem)
Main Deck: 40 Extra Deck: 15

This deck is mostly an anti-Dragon deck with cards like Victoria (even though Atem and Yugi never used it, it does work well with the deck surprisingly), Buster Blader (and two of his support tuners), Dark Paladin, and Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman. There's also classic Yugi/Atem cards like Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Obnoxious Celtic Guard, Witch of the Black Forest, Sangan, etc. plus new cards that fit the theme and work to make the deck more competitive too, like Breaker the Magical Warrior, Spirit Reaper (in place of Marshmallon, as Atem's monsters were usually darker in theme than what Yugi Muto had in his separate deck), Lemon Magician Girl, Effect Veiler, and a lot of the Extra Deck monsters, spells, and traps I included.

Originally, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning and Gorz the Emissary of Darkness were originally main deck monsters, but I side-decked them in favor of Magician of Black Illusion and Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight. If I did need use them in a duel, I'd probably swap out the cards that replaced them: Magician of Black Illusion and Lord Gaia. The other cards in the side deck may stay there most of the time though, except maybe Solemn Strike and Heavy Storm in certain situations.


 * Side Deck (15)
 * Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
 * Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

Seto Kaiba
Main Deck: 40 Extra Deck: 15

This deck, compared to the Yami Yugi/Atem deck, actually includes mostly cards that Kaiba has actually used, whether actually in the show or manga, or even scripted duels in the case of Alexandrite Dragon and The White Stone of Legend. The only main deck card that he's never used are The White Stone of Antiquity, Dragon's Mirror, and Dragon's Rebirth, but they aren't unrealistic choices. Neither are Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Thunder End Dragon, Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand, and Legendary Dragon of White or the side deck cards (other than those he used or has in his decks - Maiden with Eyes of Blue in a scripted duel, Dark Core, and Nobleman of Crossout).

The Monarchs Stormforth is in the side deck as an alternative to his classic card, Soul Exchange. The rest of the cards like Beacon of White and Gospel of Revival are there to support his Blue-Eyes monsters, and Felgrand the Great Divine Dragon if I ever swamp Chaos Emperor Dragon for it.

This deck's primary goal is either to OTK the opponent with the burn damage from Chaos Emperor Dragon's effect or the multi-attack effect of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Chaos Emperor Dragon is usually only used as a last resort though, when all else fails, because unless I have The White Stone of Antiquity in hand/on the field and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my Deck and/or Interdimensional Matter Transporter to save Chaos Emperor Dragon from its own effect, my field will remain empty at the end of the turn, as well. I only activate its effect when I know the burn damage will deplete my opponent's LP to 0 if I don't have a way to quickly summon another strong monster.


 * Side Deck (15)
 * Divine Dragon Ragnarok
 * Felgrand, the Great Divine Dragon
 * Eclipse Wyvern
 * Lady of D.
 * Maiden with Eyes of Blue
 * King Dragun
 * Gospel of Revival
 * Dark Core
 * Nobleman of Crossout
 * The Monarchs Stormforth
 * Soul Absorption
 * Beacon of White
 * Return from the Different Dimension*
 * Castle of Dragon Souls
 * DNA Surgery

* Okay, I do have a copy of "Return from the Different Dimension" (and all the other cards released at the premiere of Pyramid of Light), but I haven't been able to find it for years. It's the only Pyramid of Light card (other than Pyramid of Light) that I cannot find, but know I have somewhere. So for now, it's written in bold like the other cards I don't have yet are.

Yugi Muto
Main Deck: 40 Extra Deck: 10

This deck might seem odd for Yugi Muto, but when you consider that his deck during his duel against Atem included mostly Spellcaster- and Machine-Type monsters, it's actually not as far fetched as it looks. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Valkyrion are still present, as is Gandora (in its retrained form, Gandora X), the Gadget monsters, Silent magician LV4, Witch of the Black Forest, Sangan, and Marshmallon. The five Ancient Gear monsters, Super Quantum Green Layers, Cyber Dragon, and the Extra Deck monsters other than Valkyrion aren't that far from the theme either. They're all Spellcaster- or Machine-Type monsters.

The two Chimeratech monsters, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, and Gandora X are in the deck only for when all else fails, and Yugi needs to win in that turn or lose. With them and the additions of Power Bond and Limiter Removal, there is potential for OTKs when it might be necessary. DNA Surgery is there only to include the potential ATK power of the two Chimeratech monsters since half of the monsters in the main deck aren't machines, and the opponent's may not be either (Chimeratech Fortress Dragon stealing them). Other than that, the rest of the spells and traps are mostly ones that either Yugi or Atem have actually used. Twin Twisters is in each of these character decks just because it's a better alternative to Mystical Space Typhoon.
