Yugi's classmate, and eventually his best friend. Although at the time he was only starting out as a Duelist, fights with many rivals have forged him into a force to be reckoned with.

Decks
A Deck centered around Warrior-Types, offering high-return but at a high risk. As it does not use the Extra Deck, you will need to fight using Equip Cards in support. Don't be scared of failure - just keep on using those gamble cards!
Although Joey Wheeler in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga never used "White Elephant's Gift", this card is included in 1 version of this character's Side Deck as a reference to Seto Kaiba frequently insulting him as a "horse bone" in the Japanese anime and manga. The Japanese name of "White Elephant's Gift" translates to "Value of a Horse's Bone".
The same applies to "Heart of the Underdog" in some of this character's Side Decks: Kaiba has sometimes referred to Joey as "ordinary" in the Japanese versions of the anime/manga. The Japanese name of "Heart of the Underdog" translates to "Willpower of the Ordinary".
