Card of sanctity

[GeorgeMegas]

''Banish all other cards you control and in your hand (min.1 from each); draw until you have 2 cards in your hand.''

Me: WHAT; only 2 cards; Soo not Cool. Soo lame.

It was a time where they had to make pot of greed somehow without actually using pot of greed.

We now have good draw power though, like allure of darkness or cards from the sky.

That card is hideously hard to use and has nothing do with the (admittedly very broken) anime version.

The only place I could see this being run is with stuff like D.D. Scout Plane and D.D. Survivor, aka a Macrocosmos deck.

K i think i get it. So it's effect of drawing 5-6 cards was kinda like a rule only into the anime but not in games?

The anime made a lot of busted cards just for the sake of an advantage. Just look at Zane's anime deck. His cyber dark deck had many anime cards just to give cyber dark relevancy.

If it gave you one more card it would be completely usable since it gives card advantage.

It however falls slightly short on that front.

[Taweret]

use it only when you have in hand 1 card

this card actually works pretty well with cyberstein, but dont spread it guys, ppl will abuse it and GG

Ye. That's not a big deal unless it could of say 4 cards. Ok then, but since 2 not a good card at all.

I know. The point to this is that i thought that this cards effect in the anime and in yugioh games remained the Same, but apparently it's a different kind of story as well.

I remember where yugi activated this card in the anime, and he was allowed to draw 5 cards... But idk man

If we wanna use examples of draw cards like Card of Sanctity in terms of broken they are, you just need to take a look at Card of Demise.

Demise only got its first IRL printing about two years ago despite its use by Kaiba in the show from 2004 and has only been printed in two packs since its initial release. It's effect was changed from 'draw until you have 5 cards, then discard your hand in 5 turns', to 'draw until you have 3 cards, your opponent takes no damage for the rest of the turn, discard your entire hand at the end of this turn, and you can only activate Card of Demise once per turn'. Even then, it's still an amazing card and goes for about $20-30 a copy, even with the reprint released earlier this month.

Cards like Demise and Sanctity were made during a time where the card game didn't really exist, which also serves as the explanation for why everybody in Duelist Kingdom played the game like an RPG with trading cards instead of an actual card game; Kazuki Takahashi wasn't looking to make a cohesive card game that could be played IRL and made YGO focused on the card game because tons of people loved the story arc it was introduced in and decided to capitalize on it, which lead to the creation of stuff like those cards.
