Rare Hunter 1 (manga)

The Rare Hunter is an unnamed character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. This is the original incarnation of the the Rare Hunter. He is a member of the Rare Hunters, considered by Marik Ishtar to be the weakest. He uses an "Exodia" Deck, containing three counterfeit copies of each "Exodia" piece.

Prior to the Battle City tournament, the Rare Hunter was informed that Katsuya Jonouchi had the rare card, "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", in his Deck, so he defeated Jonouchi in a Duel. He and his accomplices then attacked Jonouchi and took the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" card. After learning what happened, Dark Yugi Dueled the Rare Hunter in Battle City, winning back "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" through the ante rule. Marik then possessed the Rare Hunter, in order to communicate with Dark Yugi.

Deck
The Rare Hunter uses an "Exodia" Deck, with three counterfeit copies of each piece of "Exodia". He uses high-DEF monsters to stall, while he draws through his Deck and "Graceful Charity" to speed up the process and discard excess pieces of "Exodia". Dark Yugi referred to him as a "turtle-style player", after seeing his use of high DEF monsters.
