This is why story mode sucks

Besides the deck seems to change pretty much every episode with cards being taken in and out and used in specific duels for only 1 purpose, and then never to be used again. WIth that said even if you really wanted the original decks you would need to fill in the gaps because not all the cards have been revealed to satisfy the minimum 40 card deck requirement. That's where duplicates come in. However yes it doesn't explain why 3 slifers or time wizards are in yugi's deck but if you want any chance of even seeing the god cards for some really dumb reason then just be glad there's 3 in the deck. Otherwise you'd spend over half an hour searching for the card only to be disappointed that you would've won 10 turns ago.

Although you can easily argue that the devs got lazy and just took half of joey's deck and combined it with yami's.

Here's a lesson you should learn by now, don't mix anime rules and decks with the video game. Don't argue with it either. If you want to replicate an anime deck you can always build it yourself and use your own imagination for what the other cards might be. The developers did the best they can with the story decks and they did it because they wanted to make both sides fair seeing as how you can play reverse duels and play the opponent's deck against the protagonists.

They shouldn't have included few copies of the same card. Everyone knows that Yugi has one Dark Magician, one Slifer etc. I would have liked the story mode more if I had hard time getting the cards I need. But yes, I can make my own decks.

That solves it, then. :)
About the characters' decks, the accurate decklists are common knowledge and very few characters use copies of the same card in their decks. Example, like Mai using at least two "Harpie's Feather Duster" in her deck, Ishizu has two "Null and Void" (known as "Muko" or something in the series), Bandit Keith has three "7 Completed", Bakura surely owns two copies of "Dark Spirit of the Silent". Seto Kaiba has the most copies of the same cards in his decklist (Blue-Eyes x3, Flute of the Sum. D. x2, Giant Germ x3, Peten the Dark Clown x3, Thunder Dragon x3) like featured in the anime. Yugi never uses copies of the same card in the same duel and characters like him, Kaiba, Joey and some others, have such a great variety of cards that you don't need to "fill any gaps" really. It's all featured in the anime..

Gx had probably the most contradictions to the original show out of all the sequels ( the millenium items reappeared despite not existing anymore, same with Ra, one guy had 3 white dragons despite Kaiba owning 3 of 4)

To my knowledge Yugi and Kaiba are the only characters who did play 40 different cards in the first season. How can the decklists of minor characters be common knowledge if thay only played 10-20 cards? We need to refill the gaps.

That's why they are minor characters. I was talking about the big shots, that they have more than enough. But still, I would complete a PaniK deck, or Paradox Bros deck etc by spending some time researching and thinking, avoiding the simple solution of putting multiple copies of their signature cards. It's disappointing that I am able to do so and the people who designed the Story Decks aren't.

Sure, it´s obvious that for example Rex Raptor´s deck consist mostly of mediocre Dinosaurs and Reptiles and Weevil´s on Insects with a few equip spells. But I´m sure the developers knew what cards the characters use, it´s just build that way so that you can faster summon the ace monsters.

Yea, I agree. So, King Bradley and many others (including me) are so right to feel disappointed, or angry even. We march tonight for Konami HQ, light the torches!!!

These are the first two lines of this game's review in the Store. But you could say it's lies, I can't really relive past duels (story decks being what they are, you put it quite right when you used hearts) and also, after the GX era, c'mon those characters are from the future, not the present..
They travel in space, visit different planets, fight aliens and other principalities, using cards?
If I was to drag the story to that point, I would exclude the Duel Monsters card game from it cause it makes no sense at all.
There's no way Pegasus created all those "space cards", or, there's no way they are linked to the original ancient Egyptian Duels etc. It's like all 3 latest generations belong to different universes from the original two and among themselves.

(GX may include an alien-invasion scenario, but it's really lore-friendly the way they did it)

Any enlightening thoughts on this are so welcome.

The whole thing about Duel Monsters being Egyptian in origin is correct, BUT there's a big problem with just the monsters from the original series (even more so later on):

Not all of them can possibly be based on Shadow creatures. Cards like Blue-Eyes, Diabound, the gods, Dark Magician and so on are all based on such creatures.

But please do explain cards like Barrel Dragon (or heck any and all machines), all the Warriors from other time periods (Samurai's, medieval knights, etc...), cards based on modern vehicles, and the list goes on and on and on.

Sure, other stuff like Atlantean dragons, Orichalcos cards and Earthbound Immortals are based on legends and myths, but its pretty damn obvious that Pegasus and his company just made up a ton of these creatures to fill the gaps. Pegasus did so right away, by creating the Toon monsters.

This trend continues in future shows, making it evident that we left the Egyptian monsters way behind us. They merely make up a fraction of the original monsters.

Also if we were meant to believe that all these monsters used to exist in Egypt at one point... well just how many pyramids could you fill with all those stone tablets?

Well Pegasus did make the game and added a bunch of the cards in.

I personally don't mind the dev's filling gaps in character's decks. Heck, I made character based decks in real life myself by building them with every available card (if someone played more than 60 cards total overall, I left out the less consistent ones). Only when I end up below the minimum of 40 cards do I add cards I consider appropriate to them (like old machines for Bandit Keith or older Zombies and Fiends for Bakura), but usually not by adding extra copies of signature cards. AFAIK only my Kaiba deck runs cards in multiple, as previous posters pointed out.

I can accept Seeker running 3x sets of Exodia because he did. But multiple god cards on anyone? Ugh. That's not just lore-breaking but its also cluttering your hand real good.

[obelisk4]

That´s especially a problem with the duelist kingdom decks. You often start with a full hand of lv 5+ monsters. It made sense in the show where they didn´t have to tribute in the early episodes, but not in the tcg.

You are correct, Pegasus doesn't have anything to do with the latest few series. Classic, GX, and 5D's are all confirmed one universe, in that order in the timeline. Zexal is ambigous, it draws no real connections to the past series and lacks some cards like synchro entirely, so it could be a different universe. Arc V is a confirmed different universe.

When was that confirmed? I thought it´s the same universe and they only travel to parallel universes.

"Dimensions" ..whatever that means. Science.
