* Although some cards could be debated on, Pot of Greed was undeniably a [[Staple]] card in any deck prior to it's banning in Sept 05, and widely accepted as the best [[Staple]] card in existence.
 
  
* "[[Pot of Greed]]" is featured in the artwork of the following cards:

* The pot in this card's artwork appears in the artworks of "[[A.I. Mine]]", "[[Asleep at the Switch]]", "[[Avatar of The Pot]]", "[[Cash Back]]", "[[Counter Cleaner]]", "[[Dark Spirit Art - Greed]]", "[[Dice of Greed]]", "[[End of the Line]]" (as a hologram), "[[Exchange]]", "[[Extra Buck]]", "[[Fine]]", "[[Giant Tortoise of Greed]]", "[[Goblin Circus]]", "[[Goblin of Greed]]", "[[Goblin Out of the Frying Pan]]", "[[Greed Grado]]", "[[Jackpot 7]]", "[[Jar Robber]]", "[[Mistaken Arrest]]", "[[Moray of Greed]]", "[[One by One]]", "[[Panic Shuffle]]", "[[Peeking Goblin]]", "[[Progress Potter]]", "[[Redeemable Jar]]", "[[Return (card)|Return]]", "[[Shard of Greed]]", "[[Single Purchase]]", "[[Spell Books from the Pot]]", "[[Spirit of the Pot of Greed]]" and "[[The Gift of Greed]]".

* "[[Pot of Greed]]" has 5 counterparts, "[[Pot of Avarice]]", "[[Pot of Generosity]]", "[[Pot of Benevolence]]", "[[Jar of Greed]]", and "[[Pot of Duality]]".
+
* This card's artwork appears in the artwork of "[[Greed Pact]]".
  
* Since this card's banning, many cards with similar effects (with a [[cost]] or a negative side-effect) have been released. Such as: "[[Allure of Darkness]]", "[[Solar Recharge]]", "[[Trade-In]]", "[[Rare Value]]", "[[Common Charity]]", "[[Destiny Draw]]" and "[[Reckless Greed]]". Those cards, along with "[[Pot of Avarice]]" and "[[Pot of Greed]]" itself are known as double drawers and are good cards that go into almost any deck they fit in (e.g. "[[Destiny Draw]]" in a [[Destiny Heroes]] deck or "[[Rare Value]]" in a [[Crystal Beast Deck]]).
+
* This card has the second shortest effect text of any card, after "[[Jar of Greed]]".
  
* "[[Jar Robber]]" was created to specifically counter this card.
+
* Though this card has been [[Forbidden]] in the ''[[TCG]]'' since [[October 2005 Lists|October 2005]] and the ''[[OCG]]'' since [[March 2006 Lists|March 2006]], it has continued to receive homage through other cards such as "Shard of Greed" and "Moray of Greed". It also has direct [[counterpart]]s which imitate its effect in more balanced manners and/or with more contextual purposes - such cards include: "[[Reckless Greed]]", "[[Allure of Darkness]]", "[[Red Dragon Vase]]", "[[Solar Recharge]]", "[[Trade-In]]", "[[Rare Value]]", "[[Pendulum Halt]]", "[[Spellbook of Knowledge]]", “[[Sekka's Light]]”, "[[Orcustrated Return]]", and "[[Cards of Consonance]]".
 +
** This makes it similar to the infamous ''Magic: The Gathering'' card "[[wikipedia:Power Nine|Black Lotus]]", a card that was retroactively banned for its lack of balance, but repeatedly referenced since then by later, more measured counterparts.
 +
** This card's effect is one of the four effects of Forbidden cards emulated by "[[Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan]]" (though it was not yet Forbidden at the time of the card's release) and "[[Pot of The Forbidden]]".
 +
** This card is one of many Forbidden cards whose status is referenced in the artwork of other cards, sometimes alongside other Forbidden cards; for example, its appearance in the artwork of "Mistaken Arrest" depicts it as contraband, which leads to the arrest of "[[Sangan]]", the red fiend from "[[Delinquent Duo]]" and the angel from "[[Graceful Charity]]" when the pot is found inside the cab the fiend was driving.
  
* This is one of the four Forbidden cards that has its effect featured in "[[Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan]]".
+
* According to the ''[[Master Guide]]'', someone can put their hand inside the "Pot of Greed" and find something that will delight them, but the pot will explode once they take their hand out.
  
* This card's errata'd [[Duelist Pack: Kaiba]] reprint has the shortest lore of any card in the game.
+
* This card was used frequently in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime and was frequently used in the first two seasons of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime, when it was used by nearly every main protagonist and antagonist until its last usage in {{episode|GX|104|ref}}. It was during March of 2006 that this card was [[Forbidden]] in the ''OCG'' and it has remained Forbidden since.
 +
** However, this card's [[Pot of Greed (Rush Duel)|''Rush Duel'' version]] has appeared in both the anime and manga since the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' anime.
