Level 1 opponentsEdit

All Level 1 opponents are available at the start of the game.

Level 1
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Tea Gardner	Theme: "Maintain LP". Tea can bring her Life Points up with her Traps and Effect Monsters, but she has no means of removing her foe's cards. Although most of her monsters are weak and effect-less (max. 500 ATK/1400 DEF), she can Fusion Summon the powerful (2800 ATK) "St. Joan", and her component monsters: the 2000 DEF "The Forgiving Maiden" and 1700 ATK "Marie the Fallen One". Other than that, "Nimble Momonga" can provide Tea with a defensive wall, extra Life Points, and potential Tribute fodder, while "Fire Princess" can burn off a massive amount of your Life Points if not disposed of quickly.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Tristan Taylor	Theme: "High ATK". Tristan's monsters are extremely weak (max. 600 ATK). The only real threat in his deck is "Goblin Attack Force", which can be easily disposed of after it attacks. His Spells are limited to Equip Cards that can increase ATK (if he would use them!), and he has no Traps at all. Most of Tristan's Tribute Summons are less than impressive, especially if you can Summon high-level monsters of your own. He does have a fairly strong monster in the form of "Hyozanryu" (2100 ATK/2800 DEF), but it requires two Tributes to summon. If you keep destroying his monsters as fast as he can Set them, Tristan is all but helpless.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ryou Bakura (World Championship)	Theme: "Basic". His Deck is a slightly stronger version of Tristan's Deck with only monsters and equip Spells. The only dangerous non-Tribute monsters in this Deck are the three "Maha Vailos" with the rarely-used Equip Cards and his one copy of "Slate Warrior", who you'll be seeing a lot more of later on. The other monsters have max. 600 ATK. However, Bakura does have a few monsters with 2000 DEF, so you might want to Tribute Summon stronger monsters before attacking his Set monsters. He often places a "Black Pendant" facedown in the hopes of faking a Trap Card and dealing you 500 points of damage. Unfortunately, he lacks any actual Traps, so Spell/Trap removal is largely unnecessary as long as you can destroy his monsters before Bakura can power them up with his many Equip Cards. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Hyozanryu Mikazukinoyaiba Bolt Escargot Misairuzame Steel Ogre Grotto #1 Winged Egg of New Life Candle of Fate Curtain of the Dark Ones Droll Bird Earthbound Spirit Eyearmor Fiend's Hand Ganigumo Hinotama Soul Hitodenchak LaLa Li-Oon Lucky Trinket Madjinn Gunn Petit Dragon Phantom Ghost Prevent Rat Zarigun Effect Monsters Maha Vailo x3 Slate Warrior Spell Cards Axe of Despair x3 Black Pendant x3 Horn of the Unicorn x3 Mage Power Sword of Deep-Seated x3 United We Stand
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Trusdale	Theme: "Exodia". One of the first truly challenging opponents in the game. He uses "Pot of Greed", "Jar of Greed", "Upstart Goblin", and "Graceful Charity" to increase his chances of drawing the pieces of the Forbidden One, "Witch of the Black Forest" and "Sangan" to bring the parts to his hand, and "Backup Soldier" to retrieve pieces from his Graveyard. However, the latter option is useless if he drops the head into the Graveyard, ruining his chances of winning with Exodia if it is discarded. To protect his Life Points while assembling Exodia, Trusdale has powerful Spells and Traps mainly focused on destroying his opponent's monsters, including "Mirror Force", "Torrential Tribute", and "Dark Hole". Most of his monsters are fairly weak (max. 600 ATK), but his array of Spells and Traps often allows them to attack directly, and their hits add up. To top it off, Trusdale possesses a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", which he can and will summon at any opportunity-if it hits the field, he might not even need Exodia to score a victory.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yugi Muto	Theme: "Basic". Yugi's deck is full of weak monsters (with 700 ATK), but he has a few strong ones-such as "Gemini Elf", and "Summoned Skull" - that will be troublesome to defeat in direct battle. He also has a broad selection of Spells and Traps which he uses to protect his monsters, clear a path for an attack, or provide an opening for him to Summon something more powerful.

Level 2 opponentsEdit

Before Level 2 opponents can be unlocked, all Level 1 opponents must be defeated at least 3 times each. After that, you must have a certain amount of cards from each starting Booster Pack. Since you have a random set of cards (120) in your trunk at the beginning of the game, you might already have some of the cards that can be found in one of the Booster Packs. After acquiring the amount from a particular booster pack, the corresponding opponent is unlocked.

Level 2
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rex Raptor	Theme: "High DEF". To unlock Rex, you need 30 different cards from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Booster Pack. Rex plays a Dinosaur Deck. His strongest low Level monsters are his three copies of "Crawling Dragon #2" and "Two-Headed King Rex", both with 1600 Attack Points. If he gets a "Polymerization" in his hand, he can also fuse one of each into the 2200 ATK "Bracchio-raidus". Additionally, his "Mad Sword Beast" can pierce through the DEF of enemy monsters to hit your Life Points, but with 1400 ATK, it's fairly easy to beat. Getting past him is a bit tougher than previous opponents, but with no Traps and little card destruction beyond direct battle, Rex is still a fairly simple foe. Most of his monsters don't surpass 800 ATK / 1400 DEF. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Launcher Spider Mikazukinoyaiba Hercules Beetle Megasonic Eye Megazowler Ocubeam Sword Arm of Dragon Trent Crawling Dragon #2 x3 Two-Headed King Rex x3 Abyss Flower Armaill Battle Warrior Cyber Commander Djinn the Watcher of the Wind Gate Deeg Graveyard and the Hand of Invitation Kumootoko Meda Bat Mega Thunderball Mystical Capture Chain Obese Marmot of Nefariousness One-Eyed Shield Dragon Rock Ogre Grotto #2 Spiked Snail Tenderness The Drdek Turtle Raccoon Effect Monsters Mad Sword Beast x2 Fusion Monsters Bracchio-raidus Spell Cards Change of Heart Dark Hole Polymerization Raigeki Snatch Steal Swords of Revealing Light
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Espa Roba	Theme: "clairvoyance". To unlock Espa Roba, you need 30 of the cards from the Red-Eyes B. Dragon Booster Pack. Espa's Deck is pretty weak (most monsters with max. 800 ATK), but it can be problematic, especially against Decks heavily reliant on Flip Effects. He mainly uses "Witch of the Black Forest" to grab "Jinzo", using its high ATK and ability to deal with his foes. He likes to play "Light of Intervention", which backfires if your monsters are strong, and "Shadow of Eyes", which only poses problems for monsters with Flip Effects. He also tends to play weak monsters, like "Prevent Rat", in Attack Mode as an opening gamble. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Launcher Spider Ryu-Ran Machine Attacker Ocubeam Rainbow Marine Mermaid Spike Seadra Fire Eye Flying Fish Happy Lover Kagemusha of the Blue Flame Kageningen Kumootoko Lunar Queen Elzaim Man-Eating Plant Man Eater Mechaleon Meda Bat Midnight Fiend Obese Marmot of Nefariousness Rock Ogre Grotto #2 Sleeping Lion Tenderness The Wandering Doomed Yashinoki Effect Monsters Jinzo Sangan x2 Witch of the Black Forest Spell Cards Change of Heart Dark Hole Monster Reborn Raigeki Snatch Steal Swords of Revealing Light Trap Cards Shadow of Eyes x3 Light of Intervention x3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Weevil Underwood	Theme: "Insects". To unlock Weevil Underwood, you need 25 different cards from the B. Skull Dragon Booster Pack. Weevil's Deck is tougher than most Decks so far. He has lots of monster-destroying effects such as "Mirror Force", "Torrential Tribute", "Raigeki" and "Man-Eater Bug". He uses "Sangan" to get "Witch of the Black Forest", which in turn gets "Empress Mantis" or "Jirai Gumo", each of which has 2200 ATK. The latter is also a Level 4 Monster, allowing Weevil to summon it without Tributes, but it has a 50% chance of halving his Life Points with every attack-and Weevil has poor luck with coin flips. Moreover, Weevil is the first opponent to make heavy use of Flip Effects. Apart from his monster-destroying "Man-Eater Bug", his "4-Starred Ladybug of Doom" can wipe out every Level 4 monster on the field at once, while his "Penguin Soldier" returns two monsters of his choice to their owner's hand. He also uses "Needle Worm" to knock out large chunks of his opponent's Deck-and since he has three copies of it, prolonged Duels are very risky. His remaining normal monsters have max. 800 ATK. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Crawling Dragon Empress Mantis x2 Kageningen Kurama Mushroom Man Nemuriko Science Soldier The Furious Sea King The Shadow Who Controls the Dark Effect Monsters 4-Starred Ladybug of Doom x3 Jirai Gumo x2 Man-Eater Bug x3 Man-Eating Plant Needle Worm x3 Penguin Soldier Sangan Witch of the Black Forest Spell Cards Change of Heart Dark Hole Graceful Charity Monster Reborn Pot of Greed Premature Burial Raigeki Swords of Revealing Light Trap Cards Call of the Haunted Mirror Force Torrential Tribute x2 Trap Hole x3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Bonz	Theme: "Traps". To unlock Bonz, you need 40 of the cards from the Barrel Dragon Booster Pack. Despite the theme of his Deck being "Traps", Bonz only has a few Trap Cards. He relies heavily on Monster Destruction to keep foes under control long enough for him to get his heavy hitters into play, and his few Traps will ensure that opponents suffer a high cost if they get too aggressive. He has some elements of Deck Destruction as well, including "Gravekeeper's Servant" and the effect of "The Bistro Butcher". He has several powerful Level 4 Monsters at his disposal, including three copies of "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" (with 1800 ATK), two copies of "The Bistro Butcher" (also with 1800 ATK), and a single "Slate Warrior" (1900 ATK). His main power card is the 2500-ATK "Summoned Skull", while his 2600-DEF "Ryu-Ran" is his best option for protecting his Life Points. His remaining normal monsters have max. 850 ATK. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Ryu-Ran Ill Witch Summoned Skull x2 La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x3 Arlownay Boneheimer Fairywitch Hyo Larvas Monsturtle Mystical Sheep #2 Stone Armadiller Stone Ogre Grotto #1 Effect Monsters Magician of Faith x2 Slate Warrior The Bistro Butcher x2 Witch of the Black Forest x2 Spell Cards Axe of Despair x2 Black Pendant x2 Dark Hole Gravekeeper's Servant x2 Monster Reborn Mystical Space Typhoon x2 Premature Burial Raigeki Tribute to the Doomed x2 Trap Cards Magic Cylinder Mirror Force Ring of Destruction
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mako Tsunami	Theme: "Big Wave". To unlock Mako Tsunami, you need 17 of the cards from the Black Luster Soldier Booster Pack. Mako Tsunami is one of the most aggressive opponents so far. He uses "Umi" and "A Legendary Ocean" to Summon "The Legendary Fisherman" easily and raise the already-impressive ATK of "Amphibian Beast". He also has six Level 4 monsters with 1800 ATK, which often goes even higher thanks to his Field Spells, so you will probably need Spells or Traps of your own to overcome them. With "Torrential Tribute" and "Raigeki" to destroy your monsters and "Tornado Wall" to negate their damage, Mako's Life Points can be difficult to deplete. However, he tends to destroy his own "Tornado Wall" by changing his Field Spell, or you can get proactive and change the field yourself. Either way, Spell and Trap removal will prove most useful against this foe. His remaining normal monsters have max. 900 ATK. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Amphibian Beast x2 Succubus Knight Yamadron 7 Colored Fish x3 Giant Red Seasnake x3 Dharma Cannon Doron Flying Fish x3 Hurricail Laughing Flower Megirus Light Muse-A Protector of the Throne Roboyarou x2 Souls of the Forgotten Toon Alligator Yamatano Dragon Scroll Effect Monsters Penguin Soldier x2 The Legendary Fisherman x3 Spell Cards A Legendary Ocean x2 Raigeki Umi x2 Trap Cards Tornado Wall x2 Torrential Tribute x3

Level 3 opponentsEdit

Level 3 opponents can only be unlocked after all Level 2 opponents have been defeated at least 5 times each. In addition, each duelist requires the player to have a certain card (or cards) in their Trunk, but not in their Deck.

Level 3
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mai Valentine	Theme: "Harpie". The player must have "Harpie's Feather Duster" in their Trunk and none in their Deck to unlock Mai. This keycard can be found in the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Booster Pack. Her Deck relies on Harpie Lady and other Wind-Attribute monsters, powered up by her Rising Air Current. In this state, few monsters can match her in battle, and her Harpie's Feather Duster makes setting Traps risky until it is used. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Gaia the Fierce Knight Ansatsu Bottom Dweller Blue-Eyed Silver Zombie Blue-Winged Crown x2 Faith Bird x2 Harpie Lady x3 Harpie's Brother x2 Humanoid Slime Skull Red Bird x2 Spirit of the Harp Effect Monsters Harpie Lady Sisters x3 Harpie's Pet Dragon x2 Spell Cards Dark Hole Elegant Egotist x3 Harpie's Feather Duster Monster Reborn Premature Burial x2 Raigeki Rising Air Current x2 Swords of Revealing Light Trap Cards Aqua Chorus x2 Mirror Force Negate Attack Ring of Destruction x2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Bandit Keith	Theme: "Machines". The player must have "Barrel Dragon" in their Trunk and none in their Deck to unlock Keith. This keycard can be found in the Barrel Dragon Booster Pack. His Level 4 Machine monsters are fairly tough, but it's high-level cards like "Cyber-Tech Alligator" and "Barrel Dragon" that make him a serious threat. On the other hand, he lacks Traps to protect him from attacks (although his "Trap Hole" cards will make summoning riskier), and his "Gamble" often backfires on himself, causing him to lose turns. He senselessly uses Limiter Removal on his own defense position monsters. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Gaia the Fierce Knight Launcher Spider Slot Machine Zoa Akihiron Ancient Tool Cyber-Tech Alligator x2 Pendulum Machine x2 Blocker Dokuroizo the Grim Reaper Guardian of the Throne Room x2 Living Vase Mechanicalchaser x2 Oni Tank T-34 x2 Overdrive x3 Shovel Crusher Effect Monsters Barrel Dragon x3 Spell Cards 7 Completed x3 Change of Heart Limiter Removal Monster Reborn Premature Burial x2 Snatch Steal Trap Cards Gamble x3 Trap Hole x2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joey Wheeler	Theme: "High ATK". The player must have "Jinzo" in their Trunk and none in their Deck to unlock Joey. This keycard can be found in the Jinzo Booster Pack which is unlocked after 10 wins against Weevil Underwood. Unlike Tristan, most of his monsters actually are quite strong, and his "Time Wizard" can clear the field to let them hit his enemies directly. If he manages to pull off a Tribute Summon, expect even bigger problems from "Jinzo", "Summoned Skull", and "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", and his "Polymerization" can bring forth one of three deadly Fusion Monsters; one with potential for Direct Attacks, and another with 3200 ATK! Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Alligator's Sword x3 Axe Raider x3 Baby Dragon Red-Eyes B. Dragon Summoned Skull x3 Effect Monsters Goblin Attack Force x2 Jinzo Panther Warrior Spear Dragon x3 Time Wizard x3 Zombyra the Dark x2 Fusion Monsters Alligator's Sword Dragon Black Skull Dragon Thousand Dragon Spell Cards Change of Heart Dark Hole Fusion Sage Graceful Charity x2 Mage Power Monster Reborn Polymerization x2 Premature Burial x2 Raigeki Snatch Steal Swords of Revealing Light United We Stand Trap Cards Mirror Force Ring of Destruction x2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Maximillion Pegasus	Theme: "Toonized". The player must have "Toon World", "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" and "Toon Summoned Skull" in their Trunk and none in their Deck to unlock Pegasus. This keycards can be found in the Toon Summoned Skull Booster Pack. Pegasus plays a Toon Deck. He pays a lot of Life Points for cards like his Toon Monsters and "Mirror Wall", but uses "Nimble Momonga" and several Trap Cards to gain more. If his Toons fail him, expect to see a "Relinquished" equipping his foe's strongest monster and using its power against its original owner. (Strangely, however, despite also using the 0 ATK/DEF "Thousand-Eyes Idol", he never seems to summon "Thousand-Eyes Restrict". This is because Pegasus' deck has no Polymerization in it.) Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Summoned Skull x2 Thousand-Eyes Idol Vorse Raider x3 Effect Monsters Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon Cyber Jar Morphing Jar Nimble Momonga x3 Sinister Serpent Slate Warrior Toon Mermaid x3 Toon Summoned Skull x2 Ritual Monsters Relinquished x2 Spell Cards Black Illusion Ritual x2 Change of Heart Dark Hole Monster Reborn Premature Burial Raigeki Snatch Steal Swords of Revealing Light Toon World x2 Trap Cards Enchanted Javelin x2 Magic Cylinder Mirror Force Mirror Wall Numinous Healer x2 Ring of Destruction

Level 4 opponentsEdit

After all Level 3 opponents have been defeated at least 7 times each, the player can then select random Ghouls as opponents. When all five Ghouls have been defeated in a row, Marik Ishtar will be unlocked. After Marik is defeated, the random Ghoul opponent is replaced by the individual Ghouls.

The Ghouls are also the first opponents with illegal Decks, using multiple copies of powerful Limited cards such as "Raigeki" or "Pot of Greed".

Level 4
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Arkana	Theme: "Tributes". Arkana's Deck is focused on Tributing, mainly for Cannon Soldier's effect and high-Level Monsters. A Mask of Restrict could be recommended to combat this. He also has several revival cards to bring back his sacrificed creatures. His normal monsters that he can bring out without tributing all have an ATK of 1100. Smartness of AI: He never seem to use Snatch Steal although he has 3 copies of it in his deck. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Dark Magician x3 Serpent Night Dragon Garoozis Giant Mech-Soldier Neck Hunter Barrel Lily Corroding Shark Holograh Lady of Faith Little D Waterdragon Fairy Effect Monsters Cannon Soldier x2 Spell Cards Change of Heart x3 Dark Hole x3 Monster Reborn x3 Premature Burial x3 Raigeki x3 Snatch Steal x3 Swords of Revealing Light Trap Cards Call of the Haunted Mirror Force Negate Attack Ring of Destruction x3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Rare Hunter	Theme: "Exodia II". Rare Hunter uses an illegal "Exodia" Deck, including multiple copies of many Limited cards, such as "Graceful Charity", "Pot of Greed" and the "Exodia" pieces, but only one copy of Exodia the Forbidden One. Unlike Trusdale, he relies solely on drawing Exodia for victory, thus all of his cards are for either getting the pieces of Exodia into his hand or preventing his opponent from attacking (usually through monster destruction). His strongest monster is the 1400 ATK Mystic Tomato. Try to drop Exodia the Forbidden One in the Graveyard and he is almost out of options to win. Smartness of AI: he never Summons or Sets an Exodia part from his hand. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Left Arm of the Forbidden One x3 Left Leg of the Forbidden One x3 Right Arm of the Forbidden One x3 Right Leg of the Forbidden One x3 Effect Monsters Exodia the Forbidden One Mystic Tomato Penguin Soldier Sangan x3 Witch of the Black Forest x3 Spell Cards Change of Heart Dark Hole Graceful Charity x3 Monster Reborn Pot of Greed x3 Raigeki Swords of Revealing Light Upstart Goblin x3 Trap Cards Backup Soldier Jar of Greed x3 Mirror Force Negate Attack Torrential Tribute Trap Hole x3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Umbra and Lumis	Theme: "Masquerade". Umbra and Lumis use a Beatdown Deck, themed around various masked cards. They are reliant on Tributes to get their stronger monsters in play, but also make use of Mask of Brutality and Mask of Weakness to give their cards the edge in battle. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Seiyaryu Mech Bass Summoned Skull x3 Wing Eagle Dark King of the Abyss Gradius Grand Tiki Elder x2 Kamakiriman Vorse Raider x3 Effect Monsters Magician of Faith x2 Mask of Darkness x2 Masked Sorcerer x2 Slate Warrior Ritual Monsters The Masked Beast Spell Cards Curse of the Masked Beast Dark Hole x2 Mask of Brutality Monster Reborn x3 Premature Burial x3 Raigeki x2 Trap Cards Magic Cylinder Mask of Weakness x2 Mirror Force Ring of Destruction x2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Strings	Theme: "High DEF". Strings' Deck is nothing out of the ordinary-just standard Monster-based Beatdown with associated Spells and Traps. The only problem comes from his multiple copies of powerful Limited cards like Raigeki and Premature Burial. He does have several Level 4 Monsters with 1900 ATK, all others don't exceed 1200 ATK. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Seiyaryu Zoa Monster Tamer Pendulum Machine Rude Kaiser Summoned Skull 3 Sword Arm of Dragon Vorse Raider 3 Tao the Chanter Humanoid Slime 3 Enchanting Mermaid Flying Penguin Lesser Dragon Master & Expert Stone Ghost The 13th Grave Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #2 Effect Monsters Magician of Faith x2 Slate Warrior Spear Dragon x3 Spell Cards Card Destruction Dark Hole x2 Monster Reborn x2 Premature Burial x2 Raigeki x2 Trap Cards Magic Cylinder Mirror Force Ring of Destruction
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Odion	Theme: "Trap Wave". True to his anime portrayal, Odion's Deck is brimming with Trap Cards-including specialized counters to several popular Spells. His Monster and Spell cards are relatively sparse, but designed to punish those who think they can out-stall him, and his arsenal of Traps makes taking the direct route difficult. Bringing a Jinzo or a Royal Decree to this Duel may not be a bad idea... Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Summoned Skull x2 Effect Monsters Cyber Jar Magician of Faith Mask of Darkness Man-Eater Bug x3 Morphing Jar Slate Warrior Spear Dragon x3 Spell Cards Dark Hole x2 Monster Reborn Premature Burial Raigeki x2 Trap Cards Anti Raigeki Call of the Dark Call of the Grave Enchanted Javelin x2 Fairy Box Gryphon Wing Magic Cylinder Magic Jammer x2 Magical Thorn x2 Mirror Force x3 Negate Attack Ring of Destruction Seven Tools of the Bandit x2 Solemn Judgment Torrential Tribute x3 Trap Hole White Hole Widespread Ruin x3

Level 5 opponentsEdit

With the exception of Marik Ishtar, all Level 5 opponents are only available if all Level 4 duelists have been defeated at least 10 times.

Level 5
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ishizu Ishtar	Theme: "Lightning". The player must have only monsters in their Deck to unlock Ishizu. Her Deck is designed to raise her Life Points as both a defense against damage and as a way to activate the effects of Dark Elf and Fire Princess. Offensively, she prefers powering up her Dunames Dark Witch, but will attack whenever she has an opening. Although she has cards in her fusion deck zone she has no possibility of fusion summoning.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Marik Ishtar	Theme: "Darkness". Marik Ishtar is unlocked by defeating 5 Rare Hunters in a row. His Deck focuses on forcing the opponent to discard, activating the damaging effect of Magical Thorn. He prefers Flip effect monsters and Beatsticks.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Seto Kaiba	Theme: "blue eyes' evolution". Seto Kaiba is unlocked after 10 wins against Bakura, Mai, Joey, Odion, and Ishizu. His Deck's theme is pure power, with strong Monsters and destruction effects. As usual, his Blue-Eyes White Dragon makes an appearance or three, and if given a chance, he will not hesitate to summon their combined form. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3 Cyber-Tech Alligator x2 Vorse Raider x3 Effect Monsters Barrel Dragon X2 Cyber-Stein Goblin Attack Force x3 Magician of Faith x2 Slate Warrior Spear Dragon x3 Fusion Monsters Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Spell Cards Dark Hole Harpie's Feather Duster Heavy Storm x2 Megamorph Monster Reborn x3 Premature Burial x2 Polymerization Raigeki x3 Trap Cards Call of the Haunted Magic Cylinder Magic Jammer x2 Mirror Force Negate Attack x2 Ring of Destruction x2 Torrential Tribute
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Shadi	Theme: "balance on the edge". Shadi is unlocked after 10 wins against Bakura, Mai, Yugi, Joey, Marik, Ishizu, and Kaiba. He uses elements of Burn/Lockdown/Deck Destruction Decks, designed to inflict damage through Chain Energy and Magic Thorn, while limiting his opponent's options. He also uses strong LV 4 monsters as well as 3 weak normal monsters (with 1400 ATK/1200 DEF) which seam to be suited to be destroyed by searchers like Shining Elf. Since he has no cards against your spells or traps you might set all your cards from your hand onto the field so they are safe and you won't have to pay for Chain Energy later. Smartness of AI: You might just want to wait until he depletes his own LP with his Chain Energy because in this game he is able and willing to do so.

Level 6 opponentsEdit

Level 6 opponents are only unlockable when all Level 5 opponents have been defeated at least 15 times each. They are all unlocked by defeating certain opponents three times in a row, and will Duel the player when the opponent is chosen a fourth time. If defeated, they will remain unlocked for the rest of the game.

Level 6
Opponent	Information
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Simon	Theme: "Exodia III". Defeating any combination of Tea, Tristan, and Trusdale in a row causes Simon to challenge you when you go for a fourth round against any of them. His Exodia Deck only uses one copy of the Forbidden One's components. Compared to Trusdale's Exodia deck he prefers monsters with high ATK instead of destruction effects and has multiple copies of cards that can add Exodia parts to his hand. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Left Arm of the Forbidden One Left Leg of the Forbidden One Right Arm of the Forbidden One Right Leg of the Forbidden One Effect Monsters Exodia the Forbidden One Mystic Tomato x2 Penguin Soldier Sangan x3 Slate Warrior x3 Spear Dragon x3 Witch of the Black Forest x3 Spell Cards Change of Heart x2 Dark Hole Graceful Charity x3 Monster Reborn Pot of Greed x3 Premature Burial Raigeki Swords of Revealing Light Upstart Goblin Trap Cards Backup Soldier Call of the Haunted Fairy Box Jar of Greed x3 Negate Attack x2 Torrential Tribute Trap Hole
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yami Bakura	Theme: "Destiny Board". Defeat Bakura 3 times in a row to make Yami Bakura replace him for a fourth duel. He has a variety of options for victory, including straight offence (via his strong Level 4 monsters and Equip Spells), Effect Damage (provided by several of his Traps), Deck depletion (the effects of The Bistro Butcher and Gravekeeper's Servant), and his Destiny Board. Deck Monster Cards Normal Monsters Summoned Skull x2 La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x3 Effect Monsters Magician of Faith x2 Slate Warrior The Bistro Butcher x2 Witch of the Black Forest x2 Spell Cards Axe of Despair x2 Black Pendant x2 Dark Hole x3 Gravekeeper's Servant Monster Reborn x3 Mystical Space Typhoon x2 Premature Burial Raigeki x3 Spirit Message "A" Spirit Message "I" Spirit Message "L" Spirit Message "N" Tribute to The Doomed x3 Trap Cards Destiny Board Magic Cylinder x2 Mirror Force Ring of Destruction x2
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Marik Ishtar	Theme: "Low Level High ATK". Yami Marik will appear if you defeat Marik three times and challenge him again. His Deck employs a combination of Deck depletion and low-level Monsters, with cards like Fairy Box and Gravity Bind to protect the latter. The theme of his deck probably refers to his Muka Muka that he can use in combination with Infinite Cards. Compared to his previous deck he traded all the high ATK monsters as well as the effect damage elements for more deck depleting elemens. Deck Monster Cards Cyber Jar Magician of Faith x2 Man-Eater Bug x2 Mask of Darkness x2 Morphing Jar x3 Morphing Jar #2 x2 Muka Muka x3 White Magical Hat x3 Spell Cards Card Destruction Change of Heart Dark Hole Delinquent Duo x2 Gravekeeper's Servant x3 Harpie's Feather Duster Infinite Cards Monster Reborn Mystical Space Typhoon x2 Raigeki Snatch Steal Trap Cards Call of the Haunted Fairy Box x2 Gravity Bind Magic Cylinder Mirror Force Ring of Destruction x2 Torrential Tribute x3
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Duel Computer	Theme: "Mirrored Deck". Defeat Seto Kaiba 3 times in a row to force out the Duel Computer when you challenge him again. The KaibaCorp machine uses a similar Deck to Kaiba himself, but even more focused on summoning strong monsters (+2 Slate Warrior, +3 Gemini Elf, + 1 Cyber-Stein, +2 Monster Reborn, +2 Raigeki) and clearing their path for a direct attack. Once again, the appearance of Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a very real possibility.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yami Yugi	Theme:"Almighty". Yami Yugi will appear if Yugi is challenged after losing three consecutive duels to the player. His Deck focuses on progressively increasing his field presence as the Duel drags on, with defeated Dark Magicians powering up his Dark Magician Girls. If the player is truly unlucky, they may see Yami Yugi unleash all three of his Magician of Black Chaos cards in rapid succession, whose demise will raise Dark Magician Girl's ATK to nigh-unstoppable levels (maxing out at 3800 if all of his Dark Magicians and Magicians of Black Chaos are in the Graveyard, and reaching 5600 if the player has the same in their Graveyard for some reason). As expected for the final opponent of the game, he also uses multiple copies of several Limited Spells, which leave even stalling decks in a less-than-secure position.

After you beat Yami Yugi the game ends and a trailer appears. In the background you will see some of the cards you used in your deck to win this final duel. Then a screen appears showing the percentage of achieved cards so far. If you chose to continue your game in the start screen you can see the "complete percentage" in your main menu now. Additionally now new cards are highlighted by a bulb in front of the cards name when chosing a pack after beating an opponent to help you collect the remaining cards.
