The '''Heart of the Cards''' is a commonly used phrase in the English dub of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]. It refers to a mystical force that helps a duelist draw the right card at the right time needed for the situation. The phrase is also used by real-life duelists who presume to be in a tight situation(either as per its original meaning or sarcastically), often with no hand, or when their opponent has a massive advantage and the outcome of the game resides on the next card drawn (see [[Top-Decking]]). The "Heart of the Cards" also means the belief and faith a duelist has in their deck, putting hope that every card the deck gives will be useful.
A real life example of Heart of the Cards is as follows. Opponents field contains many powerful monsters with the weakest having 1900 attack, and nearly full life points. Turn player is losing with 200 life points, and only one monster on the field (In this case [[Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus]]. On the player's field is [[Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins]] and three Crystal Beast monsters in the spell and trap zone. Turn player, chancing everything on heart of the cards, attacks their 1900 ATK point monster, losing 100 life points, and putting [[Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus|Sapphire Pegasus]] into the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]]. Allowing the player to draw once more during this turn. The Heart of the Cards responds by giving [[Crystal Abundance]] Allowing the player to wipe the field and special summon a horde of Crystal Beasts. The opponent unable to summon any new monsters or not being able to summon any powerful enough, loses the duel.
