Duel winners are a series of cards whose text mentions certain unique conditions that can allow a player to automatically win a Duel.

Cards that give the user a victory condition[edit]

  • "Final Countdown": This card requires a cost of 2000 Life Points to activate. 20 turns after its activation, you win the Duel. This card is currently Limited in the TCG only.
  • "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord": This card sends 1 monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard each time it attacks. If five different "Forbidden One" monsters are in your Graveyard that were sent there by this card's effect, you win the Duel. (In the anime, the five "Forbidden One" monsters could be in the Graveyard by any method, not necessarily needing to be sent by this card's effect.)
  • "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo": This card can gain a Destiny Counter once per turn by detaching one of its three Xyz Materials, but in order to do so, you must have no cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zone and must skip that turn's Battle Phase. If this card has three Destiny Counters on it, you win the Duel. (In the anime, this card could detach one of its Xyz Materials once per turn with no restrictions, and it allows its controller to win the Duel if it detached all of its Xyz Materials by its own effect, with no Counters involved.)
  • "Number C88: Gimmick Puppet Disaster Leo": Once per turn, you can detach an Xyz Material from this card to inflict 1000 damage to the opponent. During your End Phase, if this card has no Xyz Materials while the opponent has 2000 or fewer Life Points, you win the Duel. (In the anime, the damage is 4000 instead of 1000, and it allows its controller to win the Duel if it have no Xyz Materials at the end of a turn, with no requirement on the opponent's Life Points.)
  • "Jackpot 7": This card banishes itself when sent to the Graveyard by your opponent's card effect. When three "Jackpot 7" are banished by this effect, you win the Duel.
  • "F.A. Winners": If your "F.A." monster that has increased its Level by 5 destroys a monster and inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can banish 1 card from your hand, field or Graveyard. This card allows you to win the Duel if you banish 3 "F.A." Field Spells this way.
  • "Flying Elephant": If this card avoids destruction by an opponent's card effect with its own effect, then inflicts battle damage to your opponent by a direct attack next turn, you win the Duel.
  • "Exodia, the Legendary Defender": If this card Summoned by its own effect destroys a DARK Fiend monster that is owned by your opponent by battle, you win the Duel.
  • "Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia": At the end of your opponent’s turn, if this card has not battled that turn, you win the Duel. (In the anime the condition is slightly different: if the opponents did not declare an attack that turn, they lose the Duel during the End Phase.)

In a video game only[edit]

  • "Destiny Board": This Skill can be used while "Dark Necrofear" is in your Graveyard, and your LP are at 2000 or below. At the end of your 5th turn, you win the Duel. This Skill is negated if "Dark Necrofear" leaves your Graveyard. Being a Skill, this card is only usable in the Speed Duel format of the game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.
    • "Destiny Board of Doom" is a similar Skill used only by NPCs in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, which not only allows them to win on their 5th, but also allows them to begin the Duel with "Dark Necrofear" in their Graveyard.
  • "Fatal Five": This Skill allows you to win the Duel if a monster attacks 5 times during one turn. Being a Skill, this card is only usable in the Speed Duel format of the game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.

Cards that give both players a victory condition[edit]

  • "Last Turn": You must have 1000 or fewer Life Points to activate this card. When activated, you choose one monster you control, and all other cards on the field and in both players' hands are sent to the Graveyard. Your opponent then Special Summons a monster from their Deck. A special Battle Phase occurs in which the two monsters battle and battle damage is ignored. The player whose monster remains alone on the field at the End Phase of this turn wins the Duel. This card is currently Forbidden.

In the anime only[edit]

  • "Deuce": This card allows either player to win the Duel if they damage the opponent twice in a row; however, only one monster per player may attack per turn. This card also and prevents players from losing if their Life Points become 0.
  • "Draw of Fate": This card negates an opponent's attack and then has both players draw 1 card. Whoever has not used their drawn card by the End Phase loses the Duel.

Cards that give the opponent a victory condition[edit]

  • "True Exodia": If the only monsters on the field are this card and 4 "Forbidden One" Normal Monsters with different names, the opponent of this card's controller wins the Duel.
  • "Relay Soul": This card allows you to Special Summon a monster from your hand, and prevents all damage to you while it stays face-up, but if it leaves the field, then your opponent wins the Duel. (In the anime, this card activates when the user's Life Points became 0 and prevents the user from losing, instead giving the opponent the only way to win the Duel of destroying the Special Summoned monster.)
  • "Final Draw": This Skill gains a counter once per turn, and when it has 3 counters, it gives you the option to replace any draw you would perform with searching any card from the Deck. However, at the end of the turn in which you use this ability, you lose the Duel. Being a Skill, this card is only usable in the Speed Duel format.

Trivia[edit]

  • When successfully pulling off an alternate victory condition in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series of video games, the game will display the text (for example) 'You won using the effects of "Exodia the Forbidden One".' Strictly speaking, this is not accurate as victory conditions are not card effects (which can be negated) but rather conditions (which cannot). This text error occurs even in the original Japanese versions of the games.
  • Two cards have an effect that reduces a player’s Life Points to 0. Since they are effects, they can’t be considered automatic win conditions and also can be negated; however, if they succeed they cause that player to lose the Duel. These cards are Self-Destruct Button (which reduces both player’s Life Points to 0) and the anime-only card Devoted Love (which reduces the owner’s Life Points to 0).
