Here's what you need to know about Yugi's cards in the original anime:
* No standardized deck structure: The anime didn't have the same strict rules about deck building as the modern game. Yugi's collection included a variety of cards with little emphasis on specific strategies or archetypes.
* Strong focus on monster cards: Most of Yugi's cards were monsters, with a few spells and traps mixed in. He often relied on summoning powerful monsters to win battles.
* Emphasis on "game play" rather than "card game" rules: The original anime focused more on the narrative and characters than strict card game rules. Yugi's strategies often involved a blend of traditional card game mechanics and elements of fantasy and luck.
Important Note: The "deck" concept as we know it in the modern Yu-Gi-Oh! game developed over time with the release of various sets and rules changes. The original anime predates these modern rules and conventions.
To understand the context of Yugi's "deck" in the original anime, you can think of it as a collection of powerful monsters and abilities he uses to overcome challenges and defeat opponents. It's more about the spirit of the game and the characters' ingenuity than adhering to specific rules.
