Yami Bakura's Decks

Yami Bakura often plays cards that resemble an occult in the early second series anime. Later, his deck focuses on "darker" occult cards before becoming a Necro deck. His most recognizable cards are "Change of Heart" and "Dark Necrofear".

Anime

Duelist Kingdom

Record
Opponent	Outcome
Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi	Lose

Bakura uses an Occult Deck for the initial part of the show, using monsters that reflect his views on the supernatural. A great deal of his cards cause disruption, or breaking his opponent's strategies through various cards including "White Magical Hat", "Morphing Jar" and Bakura's favorite card "Change of Heart".

Battle City

Record
Bonz	Win
Yugi Muto\Yami Yugi	Lose
Yami Marik	Lose

During the Battle City arc, he uses a new deck constructed by Dark/Yami Bakura, focusing on the darker side of the occult by making extensive use of Fiends. The signature card of this Deck is "Dark Necrofear". Using "Dark Necrofear" with "Dark Sanctuary", "The Dark Door" and "Dark Spirit of the Silent" he had total control over opposing monsters while "Destiny Board" gathered "Spirit Messages" to declare an automatic win for him. In the manga and the Japanese anime, it spells "Death", while in the English version and the TCG, it spells "Final". While his strategies turn out to be indeed powerful, achieving his goals bears great danger for Bakura himself, for he has to send multiple monsters to the Graveyard. In order to trick his oponents into attacking his ghosts, he constantly summons them in Attack Position, causing him to suffer huge amounts of Battle Damage to his Life Points.

Diabound Deck

Record
Seto Kaiba	Incomplete

He plays another Fiend Deck when he confronts Seto Kaiba in order to gain the power of his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" for his own purposes, although the theme of it seems to be a mix of his first two decks. Most of his cards revolve around sealing or otherwise crippling his opponent's monsters while protecting his own through cards such as "Spirit Shield". He also uses various tablet cards that may be meant to symbolize the original Duel Monster spirits that were captured in stone.

Undead Lockdown

Record
Yugi Muto	Lose

In his final Duel of the series, Bakura plays an Undead Lock deck against Yugi Muto, which focuses upon winning the Duel by having one's opponent run out of cards. To this end, he played an anime-only card called Counterbalance, that would force both players into discarding an amount of cards from their Decks to the Graveyard equal to the number of monsters in play. His Necromonsters and their ability to swarm provided him with enough cannon fodder for keeping his lifepoints safe, while at the same time, increased the amount of cards discarded by Counterbalance.
