All Known Decks up. 1.01 (06 April 2002) Reedited the document. Figured out meaning of Insect haga and ryuuzaki quotes. Added the first deck that you are given. F1.03 (23 April 2002) Reedited document again. Added random notes here and there. Added places where a version with English names is. Introduction ============ Well this FAQ came about due to a request on the GameFAQs message board for Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Duel Stories, the English version of Duel Monsters III. Essentially, dragonhalfdrake asked for what cards Tristan, Yugi and Mai used. Since I was hacking my way through the game as it was, I decided to help out. Initially on sheets of paper, it had only the names and numbers of the cards. And it only covered Yuugi, Hiroto, Jounouchi, and Mai. And all of it was found through games, so I was missing two cards for Mai. But that didn't stop me from posting it on the message board. Afterwards I went back into the data, and finally found the code for the decks the computer opponent uses. And what transpired is what you see here. Deck Information ================ Layout: The first line of each deck is the Japanese name of the character followed by the deck capacity and level required to use it. In parens is the name of the character from DDS, the English version. Monsters are given by: first line: number, second line: name, third line: type, element, attack value, defense value and stars. If the monster has a special, it will be listed. Magic is given by number, name and effect. Strangely enough, none of the decks that I saw had any trap or ritual cards in them. Oh, and it's all the Japanese version names. I prefer to translate myself if I can, which is why this is in such a raw, romaji form. But again, the in- game numbers are given. After each section, I will comment on the decks from when I played with them. The reason there is so much data in here is because I wanted to show with what monsters you could take down each deck easily. Your First Deck!- Capacity 354 Level 13 --------------------------------------- 475 x3 Killer Snake Reptile,Water 300,250 1* 527 x1 Miris Radiant Beast,Forest 300,250 1* 393 x1 Zone Eater Water,Water 250,200 1* 399 x1 ikoku no kenshi Soldier,Earth 250,250 1* 397 x2 Regguru Insect,Forest 300,350 1* SPCL: Attacks enemy LP 9 x3 Hellbound Undead,Devil 500,200 1* 402 x1 Monster Eye Devil,Devil 250,350 1* SPCL: See opponent's cards in hand 548 x1 Hone Nezumi Undead,Devil 400,300 1* 211 x1 Thunder Kids Thunder,Thunder 700,600 2* 436 x1 White Dolphin Fish,Water 500,400 2* 563 x2 yaneura no mononoke Devil,Black 550,400 2* 444 x2 Tsurupurun Water,Water 450,500 2* 422 x1 jinzou ningen 7gou Machine,Devil 500,400 2* 516 x1 Muka Muka Rock,Earth 600,300 2* 197 x1 Zombie Lamp Undead,Devil 500,400 2* 410 x1 Karakuri gumo Machine,Forest 400,500 2* 486 x1 Bookoo Magic user,White 650,500 2* 524 x1 Star Boy Water,Water 550,500 2* 579 x1 shinen ni sakuhana Plant,Forest 750,400 2* 137 x3 nazo no te Devil,Devil 500,500 2* 611 x2 akuma no teisatsusha Devil,Devil 650,500 2* 202 x1 Demon Beaver Beast,Devil 400,600 2* 207 x1 Spick Flying,Wind 600,500 2* 122 x1 Yamatano Dragon emaki Dragon,Wind 900,300 2* 609 x1 Blade Fly Insect,Forest 600,700 2* 549 x1 Kaeru Slime Water,Water 700,500 2* 506 x1 Gale Dogra Insect,Forest 650,600 2* 182 x1 kamen douke Soldier,Black 500,700 2* 420 x1 Devil Franken Machine,Devil 700,500 2* Comments: What can I say... this is the first deck that you get. It's actually a pretty flexible deck. Everything in this deck is a one or two star monster. So you will never have to not play a monster. It also has exceptional potential for a person who uses free-fusions. For that, you can thank the 399 ikoku no kenshi, 182 kamen douke and 122 Yamatano Dragon emaki as they can fuse with just about the whole rest of the deck. honda Hiroto- Capacity 912 Level 255 (Tristan) ---------------------------------------------- 768 x3 hakkou no bishoujo Magic user,White 0,100 1* 393 x3 Zone Eater Water,Water 250,200 1* 399 x3 ikoku no kenshi Soldier,Earth 250,250 1* 24 x3 Wight Undead,Devil 300,200 1* 730 x3 Dark Eyes Illusionist Magic user,Illusion 0,0 1* 731 x3 Sacrifice Magic user,Thunder 0,0 1* SPCL: Takes control of the enemy's strongest in-play monster 733 x3 sengan no jakyoushin Magic user,Illusion 0,0 1* 394 x3 tetsu no Sasori Machine,Forest 250,300 1* 499 x3 Caterpillar Insect,Forest 250,300 1* 398 x3 Large Mouse Water,Water 300,250 1* 475 x3 Killer Snake Reptile,Water 300,250 1* 402 x3 Monster Eye Devil,Devil 250,350 1* SPCL: See opponent's cards in hand 469 x2 Blue ninja Soldier,Water 300,300 1* 397 x2 Regguru Insect,Forest 300,350 1* SPCL: Attacks enemy LP Comments: A standard beginner's deck. Its high level is due to 731 Sacrifice, which thankfully Hiroto doesn't use correctly. High attack cards are enough to sweep him away since he has no reigning element and no magic cards. mutou yuugi- Capacity 615 Level 150 (Yugi) ------------------------------------------ 35 Black Magician Magic user,Black 2500,2100 7* 760 Black Magician Girl Magic User,Black 2000,1700 6* SPCL: Powers up self per 35 Black Magician in Hand If one in hand, +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) If two or more in hand, +1000 ATK +1000 DEF (two levels) 38 ankokukishi Gaia Soldier,Black 2300,2100 7* 644 x3 Flame Viper Fire,Fire 400,450 2* 58 x3 Kuribo Devil,Black 300,200 1* 558 x3 Pot the Trick Rock,Devil 400,400 2* 548 x3 Hone Nezumi Undead,Devil 400,300 1* 504 x3 makai no shokubutsu Devil,Forest 400,300 1* 387 x3 mahou no Lamp Magic user,Black 400,300 1* SPCL: Attacks enemy LP 289 x3 Change Slime Water,Water 400,300 1* 192 x3 Key Mace Angel,White 400,300 1* 428 x3 Saint Magician Magic user,White 300,400 1* 123 x3 Dark Plant Plant,Devil 300,400 1* 635 x3 joou no kagemusha Soldier,Earth 350,300 1* 336 x2 Black Hole Magic Destroys all monsters in play 338 x2 Mouyan no Curry Magic Restores 200 Life Points Comments: I have been annihilated by this Yuugi... I wasn't quick enough in annihilating his cards, so he was able to sacrifice for 760 Black Magician Girl. And I didn't have any illusion cards to sweep them away. If you're still alive after a bit, he'll eventually sacrifice for 35 Black Magician. He's only used 38 ankokukishi Gaia if I took away his 35 Black Magician. If all of your cards have ATK values of 500+, then he's easily swept away. Just have a bunch of different elements. But watch out for his two 336 Black Hole. Kajikiri ryouta- Capacity 1053 Level 255 (Mako) ----------------------------------------------- 718 yousai Kujira Fish,God 2350,2150 7* 398 x3 Large Mouse Water,Water 300,250 1* 484 x3 Amoeba Water,Water 300,350 1* 152 x3 torokeru akaki kage Water,Devil 500,700 2* 524 x3 Star Boy Water,Water 550,500 2* 444 x3 Tsurupurun Water,Water 450,500 2* 436 x3 White Dolphin Fish,Water 500,400 2* 285 x3 Devil Snake Reptile,Water 700,600 2* 289 x3 Change Slime Water,Water 400,300 1* 185 x3 Copix Soldier,Earth 600 500 2* 393 x3 Zone Eater Water,Water 250,200 1* 237 x3 haniwa Rock,Earth 500,500 2* 334 x3 umi Magic (Field) Powers up Fish, Sea serpent, Thunder, and Water types by 30% of their original statistics Powers down Machine and Fire types by 30% of their original statistics 338 x3 Poseidon no chikara Magic (Equip) Powers up Water, Fish and Sea serpent types: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) Comments: He has a total of 10 non-water monsters. Of course, one of those is the God type 718 yousai Kujira. Thunder element is the way to go, just have some wind cards to sweep away his Earths and maybe a few white cards to take down the 152 torokeru akaki kage so that he can't sacrifice them for 718. If he gets that out and it's early in your playing, you probably won't have cards to take it down. kujaku mai - Capacity 769 Level 150 (Mai) ----------------------------------------- 386 Harpy's Pet Dragon Dragon,Wind 2000,2500 7* 62 x2 Harpy Lady Flying,Wind 1300,1400 4* SPCL: Powers up 386 Harpy's Pet Dragon in play +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 316 x2 dengeki muchi Magic (Equip) Powers up Women: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 317 Cyber Bondage Magic (Equip) Powers up Women: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 318 mangekyou -karei naru bunshin- Magic Changes 62 Harpy Lady into 63 Harpy Lady Trio 332 x3 yama Magic (Field) Powers up Dragon, Flying, and Thunder type by 30% of their original statistics 672 x3 Harpy no hanebouki Magic Destroys in-play enemy trap 768 x3 hakkou no bishoujo Magic user,White 0,100 1* 395 x3 Dancing Elf Angel,Forest 300,200 1* 527 x3 Miris Radiant Beast,Forest 300,250 1* 635 x3 joou no kagemusha Soldier,Earth 350,300 1* 428 x3 Saint Magician Magic user,White 300,400 1* 192 x3 Key Mace Angel,White 400,300 1* 628 x3 minarai majo Magic user,Black 550,500 2* SPCL: Powers up allied Black types in play +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) Powers down allied White types in play -500 ATK -500 DEF (one level) 547 x3 Guriguru Plant,Forest 350,300 1* 488 x3 Rainbow Flower Plant,Forest 400,500 2* Comments: Mostly wind types, a forest deck can sweep her off her feet. Since the AI attacks any card that's hidden and in defense mode, I like to lay down a forest card right off and let her attack it. Or if I know that 62 Harpy Lady or 386 Harpy's Pet Dragon are out, I do the same thing. It's great to watch. You'll want attack or defense of at least 600 on some cards though. She likes taking weaker cards out with 628 minarai majo. This is a fun deck to play as against ryuuzaki's earth/dinosaur deck. It has a lot of cool free-fusion possibilities too, which Mai's AI doesn't exploit. jounouchi- Capacity 495 Level 150 (Joey) ---------------------------------------- 333 sougen Magic (Field) Powers up Soldier and Animal Warrior types by 30% of their original statistics 338 x3 Mouyan no Curry Magic Restores 200 Life Points 343 x2 hinoko Magic Damages opponent 50 Life Points 336 x2 Black Hole Magic Destroys all monsters in play 635 x3 joou no kagemusha Soldier,Earth 350,300 1* 82 Red Eyes, Black Dragon Dragon,Devil 2400,2000 7* 469 x3 Blue ninja Soldier,Water 300,300 1* 167 x3 taiko no tsubo Rock,Earth 400,200 1* 29 Mountain Warrior Animal warrior,Earth 600,1000 3* 753 Landstar no kenshi Soldier,White 500,1200 3* 237 x3 haniwa Rock,Earth 500,500 2* 202 x3 Demon Beaver Beast,Devil 400,600 2* 541 x3 Hane Hane Beast,Wind 450,500 2* 516 x3 Muka Muka Rock,Earth 600,300 2* 16 x3 toki no majutsushi Magic user,Illusion 500,400 2* SPCL: Changes 4 Baby Dragon into 69 Thousand Dragon 644 x3 Flame Viper Fire,Fire 400,450 2* 558 x3 Pot the Trick Rock,Devil 400,400 2* Comments: I find it strange that he has 16 toki no majutsushi, but no 4 Baby Dragon. Oh well, don't underestimate his deck early in the game. Even though it's low capacity, yours is too at this point. If you let him, he will sacrifice for 82 Red Eyes, Black Dragon. Much like his friends Hiroto and Yuugi, he's all over the map elementally. 29 Mountain Warrior and 753 Landstar no Kenshi will probably be your worst enemies if you don't have their sweeper elements (wind and black, respectively) They will probably be how he summons 82 Red Eyes, Black Dragon. ESPer roba- Capacity 1391 Level 150 (Esp Roba) ---------------------------------------------- 752 jinzou ningen -Psycho Shocker- Machine,Thunder 2400,1500 6* 755 madou Giga Cyber Soldier,Devil 2200,1200 5* 756 Reflect Bounder Magic user,Devil 1700,1000 4* 754 Cyber Raider Soldier,Thunder 1400,1000 4* 422 x3 jinzou ningen 7gou Machine,Devil 500,400 2* 610 x3 denki Tokage Thunder,Thunder 850,800 3* SPCL: Paralyzes one enemy monster for one turn 197 x3 Zombie Lamp Undead,Devil 500,400 2* 292 x3 Psycho Kappa Water,Water 400,1000 2* 417 x3 Mister Bomber Machine,Fire 800,900 3* 399 x3 ikoku no kenshi Soldier,Earth 250,250 1* 537 x3 Mega Thunder Ball Thunder,Thunder 750,600 2* 411 x3 Bat Machine,Devil 300,350 1* 325 x3 kikai kaizou koujou Magic (Equip) Powers up Machine types: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 324 x3 kakusei Magic (Equip) Powers up Thunder, Rock and Fire types: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 344 x3 Fire Ball Magic Damages opponent 100 Life Points 339 x3 Red Potion Magic Restores 500 Life Points Comments: Mostly Thunder and Devil elementals, with single sets of Water, Fire and Earth elements. White elementals are good and so are Earth elementals against this deck. Just be able to take down those other element monsters. ryuuzaki - Capacity 1552 Level 150 (Rex) ---------------------------------------- 509 Brachioreidos Dinosaur,Earth 2200,2000 6* 79 Megasaura Dinosaur,Earth 1800,2000 6* 11 Sword Dragon Dinosaur,Earth 1750,2030 6* 482 Pragtical Dinosaur,Earth 1900,1500 5* 81 shikabane wo musaboru ryuu Dinosaur,Devil 1600,1200 4* 32 nitou wo motsu King Rex Dinosaur,Earth 1600,1200 4* 80 Wild Raptor Dinosaur,Earth 1500,800 4* 570 x3 Toracodon Dinosaur,Earth 1300,800 3* 573 Baby T-Rex Dinosaur,Earth 1100,700 3* 568 x3 kyouryuujin Dinosaur,Earth 1000,850 3* 218 x3 Two Mouth Dark Ruler Dinosaur,Devil 900,700 3* 105 x3 Tomosaurus Dinosaur,Earth 500,400 2* 590 x3 kuchibashi Hebi Reptile,Water 800,900 3* 188 x3 Phalanx Beast,Forest 800,900 3* 155 x3 Raabas Beast,Forest 800,1000 3* 308 x3 moujuu no ha Magic (Equip) Powers up Beast type and other monsters with fangs: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 326 x3 taion no joushou Magic (Equip) Powers up Dinosaur type: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 331 x3 kouya Magic (Field) Powers up Undead, Dinosaur, and Rock types by 30% of their original statistics Comments: Much of his deck is Earth element... so use Wind element cards. Modifying Mai's deck would be good if you could get the cards. He also has a pair of Devils, one set of Waters and two sets of Forest. If you have a wind deck, you will learn to hate his 188 Phalanx and 155 Raabas if they come out. Otherwise, a quickly established wind deck can sweep him very easily. Insect haga - Capacity 1511 Level 150 (Weevil) ---------------------------------------------- 67 kanzenkyuukyokutai Great Moth Insect,Forest 3000,3000,8* 57 Great Moth Insect,Forest 2600,2500,8* SPCL: If played, evolves into 67 kanzenkyuukyokutai Great Moth 762 Insect Queen Insect,Forest 2200,2400 7* SPCL: Powers up self per insect types in play If alone, +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) If any other in play monsters are insect type, +1000 ATK +1000 DEF (two levels) 52 Heracles Beetle Insect,Forest 1500,2000 5* 55 kyuuketsu Nomi Insect,Forest 1500,1200 4* 49 Big Ant Insect,Forest 1200,1500 4* 54 Goki Ball Insect,Forest 1200,1400 4* 72 shinka no mayu Insect,Forest 0,2000 3* SPCL: If played (preferably in defense mode), evolves into 57 Great Moth 50 Basic Insect Insect,Forest 500,700 2* 56 Larva Moth Insect,Forest 500,400 2* SPCL: If played, evolves into 72 shinka no mayu 763 kiseichuu Parasite Insect,Forest 500,300 2* 53 x3 Killer Bee Insect,Forest 1200,1000 4* 535 x3 Kama Killer Insect,Forest 1150,1400 4* 766 x3 daida Batter Insect,Forest 1000,1200 4* 576 x3 Tsundora no ooSasori Insect,Forest 1100,1000 3* 478 x3 sora no konchuu hei Insect,Wind 1000,800 3* 221 Kumo otoko Insect,Forest 700,1400 3* 141 Devil Tsumuri Insect,Devil 700,1300 3* 764 Dokuro gan Ladybug Insect,Devil 500,1500 3* 774 senkouchuu Insect,Earth 1100,200 2* 330 x3 mori Magic (Field) Powers up Animal Warrior, Insect, Plant and Beast type by 30% of their original statistics 305 x2 Laser Cannon Armor Magic (Equip) Powers up Insect type: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 306 x2 kakitsuki Insect Armor Magic (Equip) Powers up Insect Type: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 446 x3 Aqua Snake Water,Water 1050,900 3* Comments: He uses mostly Forest element, but has a set of Wind cards, a set of Water cards, a pair of Devils and an Earth card. He uses his 330 mori field magic very well to beat down your deck. It will affect all of his monster cards except for the 446 Aqua Snake. Fire cards are the way to go and maybe some way to kill the 446 Aqua Snake also. Also, beware of the fact that he can possibly have 4 67 kanzenkyuukyokutai Great Moth on the field. One from the card itself, one from the 57 Great Moth, one from the 72 shinka no mayu (after two turns), and one from 56 Larva Moth (after three turns). Set fire to his forest and take him down relatively easily. Because of that little 67 kanzenkyuukyokutai Great Moth fact (glitch?), this is a fun deck to take over to obliterate mai with. Rare Hunter- Capacity 1930 Level 255 (Seeker) --------------------------------------------- 337 x3 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 345 x3 hiaburi no kei Magic Damages opponent 200 Life Points 17 fuuin sareshi mono no migi ashi Magic user,Black 200,300 1* 18 fuuin sareshi mono no hidari ashi Magic user,Black 200,300 1* 19 fuuin sareshi mono no migi ude Magic user,Black 200,300 1* 20 fuuin sareshi mono no hidari ude Magic user,Black 200,300 1* 21 fuuin sareshi mono Exodia Magic user,Black 1000,1000 3* 748 x3 Azteca no sekizou Rock,Earth 300,2000 4* 751 x3 kidou toride no Gear Golem Machine,Earth 800,2200 5* 746 mitsukubi no Gido Devil,Devil 1200,1400 4* 744 x2 Hannibal Necromancer Magic user,Black 1400,1800 5* 40 x2 tsubo majin Fire,Fire 200,1800 3* 292 x3 Psycho Kappa Water,Water 400,1000 2* 397 x3 Regguru Insect,Forest 300,350 1* SPCL: Attacks enemy LP 105 x3 Tomosaurus Dinosaur,Earth 500,400 2* 202 x3 Demon Beaver Beast,Devil 400,600 2* 501 x3 hitokui Mushi Insect,Forest 450,600 2* 159 x3 Dig Beak Beast,Forest 500,800 2* Comments: He's lives up to his name as Rare Hunter. He has a full set of Exodia pieces. But more to the point, he has a set of three 337 Thunder Bolt, which can and will annihilate your side many times. Bring some Illusion cards for the Exodia pieces if you want and some Wind cards for his high defense Earth cards. Without those, he still has a high defense Devil card and Fire card. Pandora- Capacity 1425 Level 150 (Pandora) ------------------------------------------ 303 x3 yami Energy Magic (Equip) Powers up Devil and other dark types: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 336 x1 Black Hole Magic Destroys all monsters in play 335 x3 yami Magic (Field) Powers up Magic user and Devil type by 30% of their original statistics Powers down Angel type by 30% of their original statistics 759 x3 Killer Doll Devil,Forest 1600,1700 5* 35 x3 Black Magician Magic user,Black 2500,2100 7* 578 x3 Leo Wizard Magic user,Black 1350,1200 5* 281 x3 Berserker Devil,Black 1500,1000 4* 194 x3 majin Tera Devil,Devil 1200,1300 4* 166 x3 nazo no kugutsushi Soldier,Earth 1000,1500 4* 115 x3 Chaos Wizard Magic user,Black 1300,1100 4* 643 x3 Disk Magician Machine,Devil 1350,1000 4* 574 x3 kuroki mori no Witch Magic user,Black 1100,1200 4* 259 x3 kodai madoushi Magic user,Black 1000,1300 4* 220 x3 kamen madoushi Magic user,Black 900,1400 4* Comments: Her deck is mostly Black element. Illusion cards will destroy the darkness. Just watch out for her Devil element cards. White cards will take out the six of those Devils. Her only cards not of those elements are a set of Forest element 759 Killer Doll and a set of Earth 166 nazo no kugutsushi. Or you could just go for some Fire, Water and Earth cards to get out of her predominant Elemental ring. kaiba seto- Capacity 1365 Level 150 (Kaiba) ------------------------------------------- 1 x3 Blue Eyes White Dragon Dragon,White 3000,2500 8* 315 x3 Dragon no hihou Magic (Equip) Powers up Dragon types: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 344 x3 Fire Ball Magic Damages opponent 100 Life Points 735 tetsuwan Golem Machine,Earth 1900,2200 6* 378 fukushuu no Sword Stalker Soldier,Devil 2000,1600 6* 92 Minokentauros Animal warrior,Forest 2000,1700 6* 90 gyakuten no megami Angel,White 1800 2000 6* SPCL: Powers up monsters with ATK 500 +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 33 x2 Judge Man Soldier,White 2200,1500 6* 740 ankoku no nemuri wo sasou Lucifer Magic user,Illusion 1500,1800 5* SPCL: Puts all enemy monsters on field to sleep for next turn 91 x2 Kentauros Beast,Forest 1300,1550 4* 379 x2 Lamp no masei La Djinn Devil,Black 1800,1000 4* 377 x2 Gargoyle Powered Devil,Devil 1600,1200 4* 26 x3 Minotaurus Animal warrior,Forest 1700,1000 4* SPCL: Destroy all enemy Fire elementals 77 x3 Grappler Reptile,Water 1300,1200 4* 3 x3 Cyclops Animal Warrior,Devil 1200,1000 4* 34 x3 yami doukeshi no Sagi Magic user,White 600,1500 3* 5 x3 Gargoyle Devil,Wind 1000,500 3* 23 x3 jaaku naru Worm Beast Beast,Earth 1400,700 3* Comments: Much of his deck is high power and low level. He has cards of every element, but you should still watch out for his set of three 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon. Especially since he's carrying a whole set of 315 Dragon no hihou to power them up. The Forest element is the only element that he doesn't have a card to sweep. But I probably wouldn't endorse going for a whole deck constructed of Forest for him. Simone Mooran- Capacity 3156 Level 255 (Paradox) ------------------------------------------------ 704 x3 Rho Guardian Soldier,God 2050,2500 7* 582 x3 Valkyrie Angel,White 1800,1700 5* 126 x3 tatakai no kami Orion Angel,White 1800,1500 5* 795 x3 Dyunamis Valkyria Angel,White 1800,1050 4* 44 x3 Holy Doll Magic user,White 1600,1000 4* 493 x3 Mach Viro Magic user,White 1550,1400 4* 631 x3 tsuki akari no otome Magic user,Illusion 1500,1300 4* 433 x3 Ancient Elf Magic user,White 1450,1200 4* 595 x3 Absoluter Flying,Illusion 1300,1400 4* 781 x3 sennou Brain Control Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally for one turn If already have five monsters in play, then wasted 661 x3 Virus Card Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play with attack greater than 1500 668 x3 Shine Castle Magic Powers up white monsters: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 349 x3 rokubousei no jubaku Magic Powers down all opponent's monsters in play: -500 ATK -500 DEF (one level) 342 chiryou no kami Dian Keto Magic Restores 5000 Life Points Comments: Mostly White and some Illusion elements just scream mostly Black and some Devil. Either that, or just get out of that element ring entirely. But that set of God element cards should strike fear in your heart if he can summon them. Oh yeah, so should all of the magic in his deck. 16 magic cards of which I will highlight 10: 3 to possess your monsters (most likely to sacrifice), 3 for just wholesale destruction of your, by now, very strong monsters, 3 to power down all your in-play monsters by one level and 342 the God of Cure Dian Keto which can restore 5000(!) life points. Ishizu Ishtar- Capacity 3794 Level 255 (Ishizu) ---------------------------------------- 708 x2 Cosmo Queen Magic User,God 2900,2450 8* 348 x3 hikari no gofuu ken Magic Shows all opponent's monsters in play and prevents them from attacking for three turns 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 336 x3 Black Hole Magic Destroys all monsters in play 349 x3 rokubousei no jubaku Magic Powers down all opponent's monsters in play: -500 ATK -500 DEF (one level) 63 x3 Harpy Lady sanshimai Flying,Wind 1950,2100 6* SPCL: Powers up 386 Harpy's Pet Dragon in play +1000 ATK +1000 DEF (two levels) 531 x3 Sand Witch Rock,Black 2100,1700 6* 701 x2 Dancing Soldier Soldier,God 1950,1850 6* 2 x2 Holy Elf Magic user,White 800,2000 4* SPCL:Powers up 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon in play +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 795 x3 Dyunamis Valkyria Angel,White 1800,1050 4* 551 x2 Dark Elf Magic user,Black 2000,800 4* 532 x2 Gemini Elf Magic user,White 1900,900 4* 631 x2 tsuki akari no otome Magic user,Illusion 1500,1300 4* 352 x3 onna kenshi Kanan Soldier,Earth 1400,1400 4* 626 x3 unabara no onna senshi Fish,Water 1300,1400 4* 252 x2 Cat's Fairy Beast,Forest 1100,900 3* Comments: This could be very well the definitive woman's deck. If only she would have used 316 dengeki muchi or 317 Cyber Bondage for her power up magic, then it would have been wholly woman-themed. But enough about that, say hello to the first (in-order according to the statistics) user of 348 hikari no gofuu ken. Known as Swords of Revealing Light in the English version, this baby will stop your monsters from attacking and shows what they are too. This gives more than enough time to whip out her two 708 Cosmo Queen cards. She has all of the elements except for Fire covered also, so you probably won't get much time to use sweepers. Heisheen- Capacity 3143 Level 255 (Slysheen) -------------------------------------------- 727 x3 Toon Dragon Egger Dragon,Devil 2200,2600 7* 715 Killer Puppet Devil,God 2000,2350 7* 385 Devil Box Devil,Devil 2300,2000 7* 348 x2 hikari no gofuu ken Magic Shows all opponent's monsters in play and prevents them from attacking for three turns 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 337 x2 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 729 Toon Demon Devil,Devil 2500,1200 6* 720 x2 yami to hikari no kamen Magic user, God 2000,1800 6* 351 x3 Yaranzo Undead,Devil 1300,1500 4* 746 x3 mitsukubi no Gido Devil,Devil 1200,1400 4* 771 x3 hitokui houseki bako Devil,Illusion 1600,1000 4* 381 x3 Toon Alligator Reptile,Water 800,1600 4* 354 x3 kuigurumi Soldier,Devil 1200,900 3* 120 x3 Dream Piero Soldier,Illusion 1200,900 3* 580 x3 Patrol Robo Machine,Devil 1100,900 3* 359 x3 2nin 3kyaku Zombie Undead,Devil 1100,800 3* 544 taihou daruma Machine,Devil 900,500 2* Comments: Mostly Devil, a few Illusion, a Water set, he also boasts three God element cards. Two of these God cards are 6 star cards so expect them very soon after he draws them if you leave any of his monsters on the field. Again, he has three 337 Thunder Bolts and three 348 hikari no gofuu ken. Strong White element cards could possibly do well. Seto- Capacity 3496 Level 255 (P.Seto) -------------------------------------- 1 x3 Blue Eyes White Dragon Dragon,White 3000,2500 8* 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 337 x3 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 336 x3 Black Hole Magic Destroys all monsters in play 784 x3 kokoro gawari Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally If already have five monsters in play, then wasted 735 tetsuwan Golem Machine,Earth 1900,2200 6* 378 fukushuu no Sword Stalker Soldier,Devil 2000,1600 6* 92 Minokentauros Animal warrior,Forest 2000,1700 6* 90 gyakuten no megami Angel,White 1800 2000 6* SPCL: Powers up monsters with ATK 500 +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 33 Judge Man Soldier,White 2200,1500 6* 740 ankoku no nemuri wo sasou Lucifer Magic user,Illusion 1500,1800 5* SPCL: Puts all enemy monsters on field to sleep for next turn 91 x3 Kentauros Beast,Forest 1300,1550 4* 379 x3 Lamp no masei La Djinn Devil,Black 1800,1000 4* 377 x3 Gargoyle Powered Devil,Devil 1600,1200 4* 26 x3 Minotaurus Animal warrior,Forest 1700,1000 4* SPCL: Destroy all enemy Fire elementals 77 x2 Grappler Reptile,Water 1300,1200 4* 3 x2 Cyclops Animal Warrior,Devil 1200,1000 4* 34 x1 yami doukeshi no Sagi Magic user,White 600,1500 3* 5 x1 Gargoyle Devil,Wind 1000,500 3* 23 x1 jaaku naru Worm Beast Beast,Earth 1400,700 3* Comments: Anyone else notice that the Seto and seto kaiba decks have exactly the same card numbers with regards to monsters? The only difference is in the quantities. Seto also adds in strong magic which should be old hat by now: sets of 337 Thunder Bolt and 336 Black Hole. But he adds in a set of 784 kokorogawari. Also known as Change of Heart, this one will probably used to gain sacrifices or for taking away your own hard-fought 7- or 8-star cards. Again, Forest cards are the only one he can't instantly take down elementally.

And you probably should know what most of his other cards do by now too. Very high attack cards, though... yami yuugi- Capacity 3904 Level 255 (YamiYugi) ---------------------------------------------- 364 Chaos Soldier Soldier,God 3000 2500 8* 721 Magician of Black Chaos Magic user,God 2800,2600 8* 37 ryuukishi Gaia Dragon,Wind 2600,2100 7* 35 Black Magician Magic user,Black 2500,2100 7* 38 ankokukishi Gaia Soldier,Black 2300,2100 7* 750 yuuyoku genjuu Kimaira Beast,Illusion 2100,1800 6* 22 Demon no Shoukan Devil,Devil 2500,1200 6* 760 Black Magician Girl Magic User,Black 2000,1700 6* SPCL: Powers up self per 35 Black Magician in Hand If one in hand, +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) If two or more in hand, +1000 ATK +1000 DEF (two levels) 39 Curse Of Dragon Dragon,Wind 2000,1500 5* SPCL: Turns field to kouya 749 Bafomet Devil,Devil 1400,1800 5* 89 Catapult Turtle Water,Water 1000,2000 5* SPCL: Attacks enemy LP with in-play allies Damage to enemy LP equal to combined attack of allies Allies are destroyed after attack 757 Magnet Warrior Beta Rock,Earth 1700,1600 4* 738 Magnet Warrior Alpha Rock,Earth 1400,1700 4* 2 Holy Elf Magic user,White 800,2000 4* SPCL:Powers up 1 Blue Eyes White Dragon in play +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 747 genjuuou Gazeru Beast,Illusion 1500,1200 4* 10 ankoku no Dragon Dragon,Black 1500,800 4* 31 Devil Dragon Dragon,Devil 1500,1200 4* 6 Gremlin Devil,Devil 1300,1400 4* 46 Griffole Beast,Forest 1200,1500 4* 27 Ruiz Animal warrior,Forest 1200,1500 4* 758 Big Shield Guardner Soldier,Earth 100,2600 4* 41 Elf no kenshi Soldier,White 1400,1200 4* 769 genei no kabe Devil,Illusion 1000,1850 4* 772 Death Sorcerer Magic user,Black 1450,1200 4* 770 mahousenshi Neo Magic user,Earth 1700,1000 4* 7 tori de wo mamoru yoku ryuu Dragon,Wind 1400,1200 4* 74 ganseki no kyohei Rock,Earth 1300,2000 3* SPCL: Turns field to kakutoujou 60 Great White Fish,Water 1600,800 4* 58 Kuribo Devil,Black 300,200 1* 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 784 x3 kokoro gawari Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally If already have five monsters in play, then wasted 337 x3 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 348 x2 hikari no gofuu ken Magic Shows all opponent's monsters in play and prevents them from attacking for three turns Comments: I must admit that of all the duelists that I entered, yami yuugi was the most tedious. I believe (just from my observations) that his deck is the most diverse with regard to the kinds of cards that he uses. Like his "normal" incarnation, he is all over the board elementally, but he does keep 58 Kuribo as well as the three overpowered cards from his original deck. Like all of these later duelists, he has a lot of magic that can quickly make you feel pain. And if he can get out four 2000+ ATK cards and his 89 Catapult Turtle, you could be killed in one hit. But I have no idea if, at this stage of the game, the computer duelists have started using specials. yami bakura- Capacity 3710 Level 255(YaBakura) ---------------------------------------------- 713 x2 Meteo Black Dragon Dragon,Fire 3500,2000 8* 737 x2 Diamond Dragon Dragon,Earth 2100,2800 7* 348 x3 hikari no gofuu ken Magic Shows all opponent's monsters in play and prevents them from attacking for three turns 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 337 x3 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 442 x3 Aqua Dragon Sea serpent,water 2250,1900 6* 571 x3 mitsurin no kokuryuu ou Dragon,Forest 2100,1800 6* 168 x3 ankoku kaen ryuu Dragon,Fire 1500,1250 4* 83 x3 yami kuramashi no shiro Devil,Black 1200,2500 4* SPCL: Hides player's cards and monsters 367 x3 jirai Gumo Insect,Forest 2200,100 4* 758 x3 Big Shield Guardner Soldier,Earth 100,2600 4* 551 x3 Dark Elf Magic user,Black 2000,800 4* 31 x3 Devil Dragon Dragon,Devil 1500,1200 4* 784 x3 kokoro gawari Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally If already have five monsters in play, then wasted Comments: Wow... A lot of dragons. Less magic than most, but seemingly more powerpacked low-star cards. And he can still take your monsters for sacrifices and freeze up your in-play monsters.

But it has 18 magic cards and only 9 no-sacrifice cards. Of course, if it can whip out 784 kokoro gawari or 781 sennou Brain Control, then you could easily get toasted. But it may take it a while for it to find monsters and magic to attack you with. Shar Dee- Capacity 3976 Level 255 (Shadi) ----------------------------------------- 703 x3 sennen genjin Animal warrior,God 2750,2500 8* 796 x3 Ganesha Elephantis Animal warrior,Earth 2400,2000 7* 453 x3 sennen Golem Rock,Earth 2000,2200 6* 531 x3 Sand Witch Rock,Black 2100,1700 6* 213 x3 Aqua Madooru Magic user,Water 1200,2000 4* 493 x3 Mach Viro Magic user,White 1550,1400 4* 415 x3 Mecha hunter Machine,Devil 1850,800 4* 523 x3 Devil Cook Devil,Devil 1800,1000 4* 447 x3 Sea Zarion Water,Water 1800,800 4* 513 x3 oushitsu mae no Guardian Machine,White 1650,1600 4* 784 x3 kokoro gawari Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally If already have five monsters in play, then wasted 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 337 x2 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 669 x2 yami no jubaku Magic All summoned monsters powered down: -1000 ATK -1000 DEF (two levels) Comments: Water, White and Devil elements are Shar Dee's non-sacrifice monsters. She has no 348 hikari no gofuu ken, but she has a pair of 669 yami no jubaku and a trio of 784 kokoro gawari. So you could possibly go from having an easy time taking down her non-sacrifice monsters to suddenly facing her stronger ones because of magic. Marik- Capacity 4581 Level 255 (Marik) -------------------------------------- 392 Metal Devilsaur Machine,Devil 3000,2300 8* 360 Zera Devil,God 2800,2300 8* 703 sennen genjin Animal warrior,God 2750,2500 8* 348 x3 hikari no gofuu ken Magic Shows all opponent's monsters in play and prevents them from attacking for three turns 657 x3 kyodaika Magic (Equip) Powers up any monster: +500 ATK +500 DEF (one level) 337 x3 Thunder Bolt Magic Destroys all opponent's monsters in play 784 x3 kokoro gawari Magic Turns the enemy's strongest monster into an ally If already have five monsters in play, then wasted 714 x3 Fire Wing Pegasus Beast,Fire 2250,1800 6* 471 x2 Soul Hunter Devil,Devil 2200,1800 6* 365 x2 Devil's Mirror Devil,God 2100,1800 6* 650 x3 Whiptail Gargoyle Devil,Devil 1650,1600 4* 523 x3 Devil Cook Devil,Devil 1800,1000 4* 415 x3 Mecha hunter Machine,Devil 1850,800 4* 367 x3 jirai Gumo Insect,Forest 2200,100 4* 551 x3 Dark Elf Magic user,Black 2000,800 4* 82 x3 Red Eyes, Black Dragon Dragon,Devil 2400,2000 7* Comments: Many of his monsters are Devil element. So White element should have a field day except for that trio of 551 Dark Elf. And he also has a pair of relatively strong God element cards. FYI === In my translation from the game, I placed type first, element second. Types affect the equippables that the monster can use as well as the field bonuses and penalties they are affected by. Elements are the two rings of power which dictate instant kills. i.e. Black destroys White destroys Devil destroys Illusion destroys Black Water destroys Fire destroys Forest destroys Wind destroys Earth destroys Thunder destroys Water The God element is outside of both of these strength/weakness rings. With regard to both Insect haga and ryuuzaki claiming that their decks are stronger, those quotations are just their standard between-duel banter. They still use the same decks. I have not found any additional deck data indicating deck alterations made by duelists. Needs to be Done ================ This document as it stands is all I really wanted to do. That's why it's above F1.00 already. If anything, all that remains is verifying special effects (26 Minotaurus and 90 gyakuten no megami) and translating the Japanese names to something more readable to an English audience. More thorough card descriptions would be better found in other FAQs. The computer AI is another option that could be improved upon here. If anyone has some card data for any duelist that is different than what is here or would like to submit better comments on the AI and decks, feel free to tell me. I myself am loathe to translate this into the English version names . I refuse to call 202 Demon Beaver, 202 Air Marmot of Nefa. Therefore it has been and will continue to be outsourced. So this FAQ will probably lay dormant unless anyone were to want to know the Japanese names for the people or cards, and when anyone else decides to translate it into their FAQ. If you too would like to translate this document and place it into your own FAQ, contact me. I will not allow this document to be translated without some supporting material. I will most likely allow you to do so with liberal credit of course if I have seen that you have a FAQ already. But please ask. Otherwise, I will assume plagiarism.
