Chazz Princeton's Decks
Chazz Princeton's deck changes gradually throughout the Seasons of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. His ever-changing Deck is a parallel to his ever-changing philosophy on dueling and his place in the world.

Anime
Season 1
Chazz's deck goes through a large amount of changes in this season alone, as he rarely uses the same deck for more than one Duel.
Chthonian

Opponent(s) | Episode(s) | Outcome(s) |
Jaden Yuki | 2 | No result |
Bastion Misawa | 12 | Lose |
Chazz originally played a Chthonian Deck. "Chthonian" is an archaic word literally meaning "of or relating to the Underworld" and was used as a replacement for "Hell" when GX was dubbed.

Chazz is given rare VWXYZ cards by Vellian Crowler that he uses against Jaden for the duration of one episode. Though the deck itself is only used once, all of the cards in it are shown again when Chazz starts combining separate deck concepts in Seasons 2 and 3.

Opponent(s) | Episode(s) | Outcome(s) |
Jaden Yuki | 25-26 | Lose |
After becoming the top-ranked student at North Academy by defeating all fifty other students, including their top-ranked student Czar, Chazz is gifted with the Armed Dragon Deck by North Academy's Chancellor Foster to use against Jaden Yuki in the "school duel", an annual match between a nominated member of the student bodies of North Academy and Duel Academy.
Chancellor Foster forgets to take the Armed Dragon Deck back after Chazz opts to remain at Duel Academy (in the dub this line is changed to him bemoaning the fact that he didn't get a kiss from Ms. Dorothy). Despite this, Chazz keeps the cards and the issue is never brought up again.
It is around this time in the original version that he debuts his nickname "Manjoume Thunder." The name is a pun in Japanese, but was considered untranslatable. The chant is simply changed to "Chazz it Up" in the dub.

Slade Princeton | 35 | Win |
While dueling against his brother Slade Princeton with the fate of Duel Academy on the line, Chazz is held down by a stipulation stating that he may only use monsters with less than 500 attack points. He journeys to a well deep in the forest and retrieves a myriad variety of cards thrown there by other students over the years who believed the cards too weak to ever be used.
Chazz constructs a deck and opts to only use monsters with 0 ATK and develops several strategies that ultimately result in his victory.

In season 2, Chazz is shown to have added his VWXYZ cards to his Deck, while still using Armed Dragons and the Ojama Trio as well. During his time in The Society of Light, Chazz acquires the Beetron Union monsters, which become a integral part of his strategy. He ceases using this deck late in his service to the Society and begins to use it again after being freed from Sartorius' influence by Jaden Yuki.
"Infernal White" and" White Veil" were given to Chazz by Sartorius and in his mind represented this servitude to the Society, so he ceased using them after his exodus from the group.
He also begins calling himself "Manjoume White Thunder" in the Japanese version, signifying his devotion to Sartorius.
White Knight

Opponent(s) | Episode(s) | Outcome(s) |

Jaden Yuki | 87-88 | Lose |
During the height of Chazz's time in The Society of Light, he is given a new deck by Sartorius, focusing on a beatdown strategy using the White Knights.
He defeats professional duelist Gelgo during the Genex Tournament using this deck. He later duels Jaden Yuki, who uses Chazz's Ojama cards to break Sartorius' mind control. Using the card "Cemetery Change", Chazz reclaims his Ojama monsters and also removes his white coat (calling himself "Manjoume Black Thunder" in the Japanese version). Despite this, he loses the duel.
