{{Main|Joey Wheeler's Decks}}
During the ''[[Duelist Kingdom]]'' arc, Joey's Deck is comprised of mostly [[Warrior]] and [[Beast-Warrior]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]]. He uses few Magic and Trap cards, the ones that do mostly allowing him to power up his monsters or weaken enemy monsters. His favorite card is "[[Flame Swordsman]]", but he rarely uses it rarely after Duelist Kingdom. Joey's signature move during Duelist Kingdom was to use a combo of "[[Time Wizard]]" and "[[Baby Dragon]]" to weaken enemy monsters and aging "Baby Dragon" into "[[Thousand Dragon]]". Joey also uses "[[Graverobber]]" to steal enemy cards for his own usage (note that in the anime "Graverobber" can take any card from the opponent's Graveyard, not just Magic cards), and adds the "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" to his Deck after he wins it from [[Rex Raptor]]. With the exception of Battle City, when he lost the "Red-Eyes" to a [[Seeker|Rare Hunter]], Joey would make usage of the dragon throughout the series, gradually adding support cards for it to his Deck.
In the ''[[Battle City]]'' arc, Joey's Deck is more balanced. He relies on Warriors again and incorporates '''Gamble''' cards that rely on coin flips, dice rolls or other games of chance and luck, "[[Graceful Dice]]" and "[[Skull Dice]]" being two such cards that become a permanent part of Joey's Deck. His reliance on these cards contrasts the other duelists in the series including Yugi and Kaiba, as Joey does not have access to the powerful cards they do and relies on luck to win. Other cards that become mainstays in his Deck include "[[Alligator's Sword]]", "[[Swordsman of Landstar]]" and "[[Panther Warrior]]", and the Magic cards "[[Scapegoat]]" and "[[Giant Trunade]]". As he defeats opponents Joey adds "[[Jinzo]]", "[[Insect Queen]]" and "[[The Legendary Fisherman]]" to his Deck, "Jinzo" becoming one of Joey's best monsters as the series progresses.
