Seto Kaiba's Decks

Revision as of 02:41, 8 January 2016 by Cheesedude (talk | contribs) (→‎Battle City)
Sign in to edit

Kaiba runs a Power Deck, focusing on a Beatdown strategy featuring vicious-looking monsters, most of them being Fiend-Type and of the DARK Attribute. The Spells and Traps in his Deck normally serve to disrupt and counter any strategies his opponents would use. In later arcs, the Deck includes cards that give it the traits of a Virus Control Deck, and then a Swarm Deck. As his Decks evolve, he switches his focus from Fiends to Warriors and Dragons, while continuing to summon his signature card, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

Notably, his signature card (through all seasons of the anime and manga) is the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

In Battle City, Kaiba's Deck takes on several traits of a Virus Deck, which focuses on removing cards from his opponents' Decks and leaving them with limited options. One of the main strategies in this Deck includes using "Crush Card Virus" and "Virus Cannon" to mill his opponents' Decks, while also attempting to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor" for the finishing blow. During the Battle City Finals, he also introduced the "XYZ" monsters, and in later episodes, his Deck becomes more focused on removing his monsters from play and swarming the field with those same monsters.

Deck


Virtual World

Record
Opponent(s) Episode(s) Outcome(s)
Leichter 108-109 Win
Noah Kaiba 114-119 Lose (Duel continued by Yami Yugi)

The Virtual World Deck is very similar to Kaiba's Battle City Deck, though with more emphasis on Dragon-Type monsters.

Kaiba's Deck evolves considerably, as he begins to include many more Dragons in his Deck, while also gaining "Fang of Critias" and still supporting "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "XYZ" monsters.

Deck

Record
Opponent(s) Episode(s) Outcome(s)
Zigfried von Schroeder 194-195 Win

Kaiba only Dueled once in the Grand Championship arc (in order to officially disqualify Zigfried von Schroeder). This Deck, which still consisted mostly of Dragons, focused on swarming the field with monsters that were removed from play, using "Dimension Fusion".

Kaiba Duels once in this arc as well, against Yami Bakura, but the Duel is not finished because his opponent leaves in the middle of it. Kaiba uses cards from previous arcs while he's in Ancient Egypt to protect himself and others from harm.

Battle City

Record
Opponent(s) Chapter(s) Outcome(s)
Rare Hunter 2 and Rare Hunter 3 118 Win (with Dark Yugi)
Lumis and Umbra 126-130 Win (with Dark Yugi)
Ishizu Ishtar 166-171 Win
Dark Marik, Dark Yugi, Joey Wheeler 180-183 Win; 2nd place
Dark Yugi 193-203 Lose

Seto's Battle City Deck is very similar to his anime Deck, and it also contains one Level 8 unnamed monster. Yami Marik described his Deck during his Duel with Yugi as a Power Deck designed to suppress the opponent with monsters while gathering sacrifices to Summon his God card. Kaiba is not limited to using his own monsters, however, making liberal use of "Soul Exchange" to use his opponent's monsters as the sacrifices he needed. At the same time, he did not abandon his "Blue-Eyes White Dragons," often using them as either backup or a temporary replacement for "Obelisk," and including multiple methods to Summon them with the utilization of the ordinary twin-Tribute method. He also retained his Virus strategies, which he used against Ishizu, but he likely temporarily abandoned them in the manga after learning that his "Crush Card" strategy would be ineffective against "Ra."

Deck


R

Record
Opponent(s) Chapter(s) Outcome(s)
Willa Mette 14-15 Win
Yako Tenma 28-30 Lose

Having lost his God card, Kaiba has expanded upon his previous strategies; he includes new support for Virus Cards and also more "self-fusing" Fusion Monsters, notably the "Material" series. His "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" are back to their old position of spearheading his Deck.

In the movie, Kaiba's Deck works by removing monsters like the "XYZ" monsters from play to Special Summon them back to the field. After obtaining "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon", he modifies his Deck slightly to include it and "Pyramid of Light"
