Card Trivia:Pot of Greed
- 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", "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", "Greed Pact", "Jackpot 7", "Jar Robber", "Mistaken Arrest", "Moray of Greed", "One by One", "Panic Shuffle", "Peeking Goblin", "Progress Potter", "Redeemable Jar", "Return", "Shard of Greed", "Single Purchase", "Spell Books from the Pot", "Spirit of the Pot of Greed" and "The Gift of Greed".
- This pot is also one of the halves of "Pot of Duality", "Pot of Dichotomy", "Pot of Desires", and "Pot of Extravagance", both in terms of card artwork and effects.
- Despite its Forbidden status, this card has continued to receive homage through cards such as "Shard of Greed" and "Moray of Greed", as well as through six direct counterparts, which imitate its effect in more balanced manners, or with more contextual purposes, such as "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".
- In this, it is similar to the infamous Magic: The Gathering card "Black Lotus", a card retroactively banned for its lack of balance, but repeatedly referenced since within later, more measured counterparts.
- This card's fame goes so far that it is also one of the four Forbidden cards that has its effect featured in "Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan" and "Pot of The Forbidden". It also appeared in the artwork of "Mistaken Arrest", referencing the fact that it is currently on the Forbidden list; the scene depicts the fiend driver being arrested for having the "Pot of Greed".
- 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 has the second shortest effect text of any card, after "Jar of Greed".
- Just like how this card was a Staple in real life, this card also appears to have been a staple in the anime, as nearly every main protagonist and antagonist used this card including Yugi Muto, Yami Yugi, Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, Seto Kaiba, Yami Bakura, Yami Marik, Strings, Lumis and Umbra, The Big Five, Alister, Rebecca Hawkins, Leon von Schroeder, and Zigfried von Schroeder.
- Following the card itself becoming Forbidden, it no longer appeared in the anime as well; its last appearance was in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode 104: "Future Changes", and it had seen frequent usage until that point.
- However, this card's Rush Duel version appeared in both the anime and manga of Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS.
