Illusion (幻（げん）想（そう）魔（ま） Gensōma, lit. "Illusion Magic") is a Type of Monster Card. It first debuted in Duelist Nexus.

The Illusion Type is based on the Illusion Magic Alignment, originally used by Maximillion J. Pegasus in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and subsequently implemented in some early video games, where it was localized as either "Illusionist" or "Dream". It generally included surreal entities such as mythical creatures, reality warpers, and hypnotists. The Type was also assigned to "Dragon Capture Jar" and "Dragon Piper" in Bandai's card game, both cards used by Pegasus.

Trivia

All Illusion Effect Monsters currently released in the OCG/TCG share the effect that no monster can be destroyed by battles involving them (including themselves) and feature the Eye of Wdjat in their artworks. Furthermore, almost all of them feature a semi-monochrome abstract background, the only exceptions being "Fluffyfluff" and "Illusionist of Jongleurghoul", which are also the only Flip and Normal Monsters respectively.
