Each card is strong but has it's weaknesses and can be defeated with a proper strategy. In Yu-Gi-Oh or Dual Monsters in general, there is no such thing as a card always being powerful. However, given predictable plot they can still be defeated, and by understanding a character's strategy these can be done in real life.

If the God Cards were to make an appearance within an anime again and becomes all powerful, they will be used a tributes for new stronger versions (kinda like Horakhty). The means to defeat them was created with pre-GX, 5Ds and Zexal cards in mind so they can probably be defeated much more easily now. Ra's power comes from the user's life points so it can be destroyed if the user is low on them or a direct attack on the user if they use Ra's full power will win.Īlso each of the God Cards have been defeated in the anime despite strategies being implemented to make them all powerful.Obelisk can destroy all monsters but requires tributes of a set ATK and DEF of 4k, which means it can be killed by monsters like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.Slither's attack depends on the number of cards in a users hand, which means it can be 0 if the hand is empty, so you just need a monster with at least 2001 ATK to kill it.That being said they can be stopped, none of them can be special summoned so you can aim to stop the tributes. One can duel with the legal god cards, however, most players will have strict conditions and I very much doubt that even if a player allowed to have all 3, they won't be allowed Horakhty. Legal versions have been released however are still banned from all sanctioned tournaments. However, in terms of the real life game, the first versions of the cards are illegal and can not be played. In the Orichalcos Arc, they were stolen and only come back at the very end while Yami Bakura's 'Shadow Game' was not what we was expecting as the final fight between him and Atem Also, Exodia Necross is about as strong as a god card as well.Īlso in the anime, at the times where a good guy had the God Cards and could use them to defeat an arch enemy, the God Cards had always been stolen. I should also point out that Exodia under the rules of the anime, if assembled will win even if the opponent has 2 of Obelisk and Slifer, one of Ra and has infinite hand in play.

At the end of the original series, Yugi was able to defeat all 3 at once. In terms of the anime, the God Cards have been made weaker due to new mechanics added to the game.
