Decklist (All Cards/Image Heavy)

[awishforfriends]

This deck is Yugi's "timewarp"/jamjar/unlimited deck, basically the deck he would have if he had access to every card in the TCG. Some of the cards will be absent from his deck depending on the era -- for instance if he's not in a place with Synchros, he won't have Tuners -- but that's really the only changes the deck would go through. As such, rather than working on/pasting four or more decks that are almost entirely identical, I just made the one deck -- just assume the cards he actually uses fit with the era he's in.

In addition, everything below the smaller divider in each section is Yugi's "rotation" options. Yugi is someone who's known to change his deck a lot to adapt to situations rather than simply straight upgrading it, so him keeping a secondary side-deck he can use to modify it whenever needed makes perfect sense. Anything above the divider are cards Yugi keeps permanently in, no matter the deck.

Despite using Japanese names in some cases, some of the art is from the censored version -- in some cases, this is because that's all I could find, while in others (such as Black Magic Curtain and Black Magic Ritual), the censored art just looked more detailed and less boring than the original. In addition, all of the recolored Black Magician art (to remove the weird alien blueskinned version) comes from over here.
