God Cards

[DesignsbyDonut-Twitch]

ok so i have been watching a few people and each one has the "god cards" you all told me about. does everyone get them or is it something that has to be bought

[Gnarpy]

Everyone gets em. Despite their name, they're pretty weak and were only used in the 1st anime.

There's actually a really sick Ra beatdown combo with some pendulum monsters that keep gaining you lifepoints. All three god cards, while weak compaired to their anime counterparts, have their uses, and in an era of pendulum summoning, getting them out is fairly non-issue as well.

oh ok. thats cool. see i keep developing questions lol

Even if they manage to hit the field, they can just be hit with any generic negation/destruction card or effect; Solemn/Mirror Force/Trap Hole. Staple rank 4s like Castel and Silent Honor also screw them over. They're ok for fun and nostalgia, but otherwise they're not worth the resources in today's game.

Wrong, my friend, Skye :D
Mirror Force works against them okay, but there's no negating or "Trap Holing" the summon of any egyptian god. They're quite vulnerable after their summoning, though, true.

You need a better wife then, I didn't buy the game when it first came out either, and on christmas my gf (who knows nothing about yugioh almost) surprised me with it

On topic, you get the God cards by beating each of their respective owners if I'm not mistaken, in the campaign. Yugi (Slifer The Sky Dragon), Kaiba for Obelisk, and Marik for Ra

Personally, I always liked slifer, and while people say he's weak I beat stronger opponents with it

None of the god cards is weak, that is nonsense. They are just hard to summon, which needs 3 tributes. In that sense, even with all the ridicolous stats and protection they can have, they can't keep with the speed of modern dueling very well. Countering one can be challenging, but it won't get to that in most games.

If you play a god card, you play it to defeat your opponent in one turn. And there are tons of one-turn-kill alternatives that are played much more easily. Heck, even the old Cyber End Dragon is a more effective OTK monster.

God cards are not weak, they are powerful. But they are simply too slow.

You get Slifer earlier in the campaign. When Yugi duels Strings.

The Winged Dragon of Ra-Sphere Mode has one glaring weakness. It may take 3 of your opponent's monsters to summon it on their side of the field, but if they have a monster that needs one monster to tribute summon, kiss your god goodbye, cuz they just made an omelette outta the Mega Ultra Chicken.

True, I would run Mask of Restrict and Fog King alongside that then. Both of those prevent tributing. Just gotta remember to activate those after summoning Ra to your opponent's field.

The main weakness of the god monsters is massive removal card effects. Even Obelisk or Ra in its Sphere mode could be removed by a simple Dark Hole.
It takes some risk using the god cards and a lot of critical thinking of when to, which is gained by trying and failing.

You easily get them in the card store by purchasing booster packs with in game earned currency from the campaign. And then you can change / make your own decks.

But that allows you to summon Ra-Immortal Phoenix.
