Card Appearances:Obelisk the Tormentor

For the legal, "redone" version of this card, see "Raviel, Lord of Phantasms".

Some people might believe Obelisk the Tormentor is a Multi-Trigger effect because Atem used it in his opponent's turn in his duel against Marik and Anubis. -

One of the three Egyptian God cards, Obelisk the Tormentor is unusual in that it's flavor text is printed as it's "effect". Despite this obstacle, however, effects have been given to it in its anime, manga, and videogame appearances. Obelisk was also released in the 6th Japanese Booster of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters. There is still some speculation on whether Obelisks's effect raises his ATK to ∞ or not.
