I've seen exclamation marks been placed inside quotes regardless of presence in the source a number of times. Whether it's correct or not in formats we're not using isn't important.
In prose, card names are always written in quotation marks. e.g. "[[Dark Magician]]". When a portion of a card name that may refer to a group of cards is used, it is also written in quotation marks. e.g. "[[Elemental Hero]]".
If the last word in a sentence is within quotation marks, the period is only placed inside the quotation marks if it is part of the material being quoted. If the period is not part of the quoted material it is left outside. The same applies for other commas, question marks and exclamation marks. This practice is known as '''logical punctuation'''. In the United States and Canada, it is more common to leave periods and commas inside the quotation marks irrespective of whether it is part of the material being quoted. This practice is known as '''traditional punctuation'''.
''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' cards use logical punctuation, so the same is usually used on this site.

::(The period's presence in the source is uncertain and its usage within the quotation marks is unnecessary)
It is best to avoid adding a possessive apostrophe s ('s) that is not part of the source to a name in quotation marks.
