Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yugi’s 10 Most Used Spell Cards

Yugi Muto’s strength when it comes to dueling is unparalleled, he’s the best in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! No one can beat him, and for good reason. He’s an expert duelist that knows how to craft an excellent deck.

One of the most important parts of a deck is spell cards, and Yugi knows which ones to pick. He’s even used quite a few of them in multiple deck recipes throughout the series. As a note, all the below effects will be their anime versions, which can sometimes differ from the real-life cards.

10 Necromancy

Necromancy is a card that Yugi’s used in a few different decks, and it’s a bit of a complicated one. The card allows the player to select four random monsters from the opponent’s graveyard and special summon them in defense mode to the opponent’s side of the field.

From there, if any of those cards are destroyed, all face-up monsters that the opponent controls loses 600 attack points for the turn. This card is a bit convoluted.

9 Card Destruction

Card Destruction is a very simple card that allows both players to throw away their entire hand and draw the same amount of cards that they were holding, which is a great benefit for both players.

The card allows you to basically mill anywhere from 1-7 cards with ease, and it isn’t too hard to save any that you might need by just getting them out onto the field.

8 Magical Dimension

Magical Dimension is a card that can only be activated if the player controls a spellcaster and the opponent declares an attack. If these conditions are met, the player can tribute two monsters in order to negate the attack and special summon a new spellcaster from the hand that is destroyed at the end of the turn.

This card seems situational, it’s a lot of cost for just one new monster that is on the field for one turn. It should only be used if absolutely necessary, but in Yugi’s case, it almost always is.

7 Multiply

Multiply is a strange card in the anime. Yugi only ever uses it on Kuriboh, and it basically just allows the monster to multiply infinitely and block any sort of attack at all, no matter what.

The limits of this card are never truly explained as Yugi usually uses it as some sort of a finisher move, but whatever it does, it always is a huge boon to Yugi’s game.

6 De-Fusion

De-Fusion just splits up a fusion monster in the real card game, but in the anime, it is used as a quick effect spell card in order to stop a fusion monster from attacking by de-fusing them. Usually, the target is Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

This card really should have just been a completely new one in the anime as it doesn’t do what it is supposed to at all. Either way, it is very useful in the anime.

5 Card Of Sanctity

Card of Sanctity is a great card for both players in the anime, as it allows them to draw cards until they’re each holding six in their hands.

While Yugi sometimes uses this card in order to strengthen Slifer the Sky Dragon’s attack points, it is usually just used to refill his hand and give him some additional options in battle.

4 Swords Of Revealing Light

While Yugi slowly phased this card out of his deck as time went on, Swords of Revealing Light certainly had more than one appearance throughout its time on the anime. And it has the simple attack to stop the opponent from attacking for three turns.

This card is purely used by Yugi in order to buy himself some time and gather a few additional cards for some new strategies.

3 Pot Of Greed

Everyone knows this card. Avoiding some very played out jokes, Pot of Greed allows the player to draw two cards from their deck, which is so powerful that it’s been banned from the real-life card game for a long time.

Nevertheless, it’s a card that basically every single duelist uses in their deck in the anime, it’s a staple.

2 Polymerization

Polymerization is another card that most duelists have in their deck, as it allows them to some fusion monsters from their extra deck. Yugi has this card in almost every version of his deck throughout the series, but he only uses it one to two times an arc usually.

His most-often summoned fusion monster is Dark Paladin, but there are certainly a few others that he uses throughout the series as well.

1 Monster Reborn

Another stand-by in the anime is Monster Reborn, a card that allows the player to special summon a monster from either player’s graveyard to their side of the field.

A free special summon like this is certainly one that shouldn’t be passed up, which is why it is a card that is included in just about every single deck that Yugi has ever used (and basically every other duelist too, it’s just that good of a card).
