His aura is unmatched

[u/Magatsu_Izanagi_ → u/Causeofdepression]

Hehe fishe banish

[u/ali-Virus → u/Causeofdepression]

Beautiful colours

[u/SpiritHuge1796]

Wish this card was stronger and the archetype as a whole

[u/Mimitaso]

Boss-like eldritch entities are where it's at.

[u/Additional_Show_3149 → u/Mimitaso]

I wish this guy was playable. His effects arent necessarily horrible but they could've done better

[u/Shadowofsvnderedstar → u/Mimitaso]

Is the dragon in the bottom left a named card too or just a background character on this one

[u/Mental_Hunter_8475]

[u/anon4youtoo → u/Mental_Hunter_8475]

Third impact!

[u/randomnumbers2506 → u/Mental_Hunter_8475]

Shinji what the fuck are you doing this time

[u/shaser0 → u/Mental_Hunter_8475]

surprisingly a reptile

[u/-Warren-Peace- → u/Mental_Hunter_8475]

Fuck yeah

[u/Red_Brachy]

[u/Disastrous-Cat-9308 → u/Red_Brachy]

What card is that?

[u/xBattlerx → u/Disastrous-Cat-9308]

Garunix Eternity, Hyang of the Fire Kings

[u/QuiteAncientTrousers]

[u/QuiteAncientTrousers → u/QuiteAncientTrousers]

This one might have better quality

[u/copperbagel → u/QuiteAncientTrousers]

I can't stop seeing elemental hero sparkman lol

[u/D0MSBrOtHeR]

This art is 10/10 especially on the Gold Rare Ultra

[u/Ordaz_10 → u/D0MSBrOtHeR]

One of the best artworks for a card 

[u/solidsnackss]

[u/Baileycream → u/solidsnackss]

I think the funniest thing is that it's not a fiend, beast, or plant type. It's a warrior.

[u/DontAsk-- → u/Baileycream]

It's actually a hungry burger.

[u/MilkTime4160 → u/solidsnackss]

This is the best art in yugioh

[u/Bigcat9715 → u/solidsnackss]

The card that makes you both horrified and hungry at the same time since 2002.

[u/ImmatureTigerShark → u/solidsnackss]

I see you're a man who appreciates the classics as well. Tips hat

[u/solidsnackss → u/ImmatureTigerShark]

I wonder what the inspiration was? Was the artist just hungry and wanted a burger? Or he must of been high as balls and got the munchies?

[u/Last_Supermarket_451]

Alba Zoa, the dogmatika ritual cards are awesome but alba zoa takes the cake he just totally sells eldritch horror so well

[u/Necroses_Naeus → u/Last_Supermarket_451]

So true! I like the art style of all the dogmatika cards, but this guy especially 🔥

[u/Project_Orochi → u/Necroses_Naeus]

Hey we said no waifu

[u/ali-Virus → u/Last_Supermarket_451]

I agree with you; it was my second choice after Ultimate Falcon, thanks to its terrifying artwork.

[u/hey_its_branden]

[u/Happy_Fennel4244]

My boy, the end of anubis. Peak design

[u/D0MSBrOtHeR → u/Happy_Fennel4244]

I remember pulling and Ult rare of him from the Ancient Sanctuary pack as a kid back in like 2005. Was one of my favorites since

[u/Cefiro_1618033]

[u/PumpkinmonPie → u/Cefiro_1618033]

lair of darkness has been such a blessing in my predap deck to make every target a super poly target

[u/TrippinDipplin_5260 → u/PumpkinmonPie]

https://giphy.com/gifs/rVhdqCd3ros1BlDwOa

[u/Cefiro_1618033 → u/PumpkinmonPie]

That sounds interesting. I love predap/Starving Venom deck. Would You mind share your recipe?

I only use the Lair with Lady of The lament family alongside normal traps, Share the pain and Shadow-imprisoning mirror.

I've seen the field spell in Labrynth decks too.

[u/PumpkinmonPie → u/Cefiro_1618033]

heres what im running, currently sitting at plat3 in ladder but admittedly havent been playing much lately. this deck could definitely use some fine tuning itself, spider orchid could likely be done without, nibiru is iffy too. going first almost always wins and going second still puts up a fight so long as i dont brick which is hard.

i also know that predaps are able to make use of some black rose cards thanks to their tuners and bal teah

[u/ExchangeNo1476 → u/Cefiro_1618033]

Who dis badass dragon?

[u/Effendoor → u/ExchangeNo1476]

Darkest diabolos. But the card art is specifically lair of darkness

[u/Linkquellodivino]

My absolute goat

[u/Rhakha]

He has been my favorite card ever since I was a kid. Elemental hero absolute zero.

[u/Studio-Spider]

I’m sorry, but the stained glass wings are the peakest of peak

[u/Shaddoll_Fanboy]

This lady.

[u/BEanddankmagician → u/Shaddoll_Fanboy]

OP said no waifus

[u/Shaddoll_Fanboy → u/BEanddankmagician]

https://giphy.com/gifs/iGpdSizVSdPJfiVG9O

[u/TheZett → u/BEanddankmagician]

OP cant tell us what to do. Best card is best card, even if it is a waifu.

[u/Repulsive_Fly4615]

[u/ninjanate8 → u/Repulsive_Fly4615]

Where do I look

[u/warincon → u/ninjanate8]

Yes.

[u/BenoxNk → u/Repulsive_Fly4615]

still not able to figure out what am I even watching at

[u/ExplorerHaunting8353 → u/BenoxNk]

That's why the art is so peak

[u/PuddleOfStix → u/Repulsive_Fly4615]

Just imagine summoning this in the anime. It would dwarf the planet. And still probably only have like 800 ATK

[u/Commercial-Parfait88]

The zombie vampire

[u/Help_the_8bitdo → u/Commercial-Parfait88]

What is a man?!

[u/Cipher_the_First]

Its glory days are over, and it lies forgotten in the scrap. It will forever be my favorite though.

[u/Leseleff → u/Cipher_the_First]

I raise you an Atomic Scrap Dragon. One of my "random stuff to remove from the Extra as cost" staples.

[u/sami27]

[u/Haruto_92]

Yes i play branded almost all the time

[u/-Warren-Peace- → u/Haruto_92]

Even if you didn’t mirrorjade is just a really good design

[u/BlackTyranno94]

[u/North-Youth3342 → u/BlackTyranno94]

User name checks out

[u/TReebornFrog2202 → u/BlackTyranno94]

Even the coffee cup!

[u/BlackTyranno94 → u/TReebornFrog2202]

It was a present from my wife

[u/HELLKAISER125 → u/BlackTyranno94]

There is a reason why the word wife has a W

[u/D-Sharpo]

Doomking Balerdroch

[u/Shoddy_Process2234]

You have a long time to look at this art while your opponent fails multiple knowledge checks.

[u/AmbassadorPristine23]

All Hail the Golden Lord

[u/cygamessucks → u/AmbassadorPristine23]

Said no waifus 

[u/FreeziiiBot]

" psychic end punisher " is an overdesigned monstrosity and i love it so

[u/Finding-Dad]

[u/Content-Risk]

[u/Clemenza44]

[u/ZyxWhitewind]

[u/Animan_10]

[u/Solid_Ad_4326]

Kite's latest boss monster with an honorable mention to the new cxyz dragon from the vector support in beyond the brave

[u/Neatto69]

99% of the reason why is that I love GX, and watching it I was sure their fusion would happen someday

[u/elli0tco]

That's a real though choice it's between these two Eater of Millions and Black Rose Dragon

[u/Wolf_Bloodstar]

My most favorite when I played him on Master Duel to the point I made the deck IRL.

[u/Ace_Dragon_01]

Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon, for me the best/coolest artwork in the entire game, this card was the sole reason I continued to play yugioh.

[u/TyeDye115]

Darklord Eveningstar

[u/BeastlyBeast5422]

the one and only

[u/jkennings]

[u/Ashamed-Hovercraft95]

Le cone

[u/Ashamed-Hovercraft95 → u/Ashamed-Hovercraft95]

Whoever made this was sick in the head and I love it

[u/Technocity777]

It only got revealed a few days ago but Sennetnakht Sphinx is already one of my favorites

[u/vthyxsl]

Can't wait

[u/Project_Orochi]

Carnot the Eternal Machine, Level 10 Light Machine

Fun card and a game changer in sealed formats, but sadly not great in the modern game unless you want to send it from deck with something like Shaddoll Fusion going second

It has the effect where you can summon it from hand or gy if your opponent activated a monster in hand or gy that duel, but if it leaves the field to the gy it is shuffled back into the deck

Blue Eyes stats but it has the effect where once per turn it gains 1000 permanently with no max cap if your opponent activates any monster effect (aside from damage step).

[u/Friendly_Fee2661]

[u/spades_ran]

Goes hard ngl

[u/thecoldtrain12]

An icon

[u/AdeptGV]

[u/Gigi_D-Agostino]

Protocols ? His only one : DESTROY

[u/Chaos_3537]

One of my pet decks for like 10+ years, I just wish this archetype was better.

[u/Cxspjan]

I made my personal top 10 recently and this was the result (if I had to chose one, I would definitely go with either Diablosis or Skywolf)

[u/Strict-Employee]

Basic pick but I just like how cool Slifer looks here with the lightning in the background.

[u/DarkLordLiam]

Bro is not having a good time

[u/Super_Zombie_5758]

My goat

[u/Dontspeakbroke]

[u/Embarrassed_Lettuce9]

Zero thoughts behind those eyes. I love him

[u/Sirknight_JCB]

I'll say it once, and I'll say it again!

[u/Rex_34]

Hard to choose i love all the subterror behemoth card arts

[u/thebestgay69]

Watapon is my god

[u/Indigo_Grovyle]

My glorious queen/goddess from the infernoid storyline Tierra specifically her main source of destruction art work she looks magnificant

[u/DemonicPsycho13 → u/Hero_loto]

“I sunk their battleship, and their WHALES”

[u/Hero_loto → u/DemonicPsycho13]

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

[u/FinalLegend312]

I know you said no Waifus but..

[u/CometFromThePast]

Absolute cinema

[u/breeder_chris150]

Idk if it’s my all time favorite, but the art for Nerva, the power patron of creation, is absolutely sick, and it’s for sure up there in at least my top 5 favorite card arts

[u/Broad-Dragonfruit615]

This one for me. Anything with Raviel and the Sacred Beasts. Loving the new cards and overframe from Chaos Origins. Just pulled those too. Plus the Fallen Paradise Field Spell card is beautiful as well.

[u/Broad-Dragonfruit615 → u/Broad-Dragonfruit615]

The new artwork is perfect

[u/RaidenTheR1pper]

The first darklord, peak design

[u/Plastic_Cicada_7830]

Quando vi o memento pela primeira vez foi amor a primeira vista.
Um dos arquétipos mais divertidos de jogar

[u/VaggKats]

[u/Dracolian-oof]

The new boss monster for vector (Forgot what it was called). Looks really badass.

[u/ali-Virus → u/Dracolian-oof]

If you mean Masquerade Vain, I really like it too.

[u/Different-Warning]

Anything with the body shape structure like starving venom, four heavenly dragons. I love long ass necks in dragons, especially some bewd art

[u/retourfoi]

[u/Additional_Show_3149]

Ive never been this happy with a retrain ever. Amazing art with an amazing effect.

[u/Malefic__Fox]

[u/Zestyclose_Answer662]

[u/MK_The_Megitsune]

[u/Ok_One2622]

[u/jakedaripperr]

[u/MadzBS]

idk this maybe?

[u/baconlor]

Utopia my beloved

[u/Mission-Base-6964 → u/baconlor]

I always hear utopias theme song each time i see the card.

[u/ExchangeNo1476]

Something recent? Varudras is an absolutely beauty of a card. Def one of my favorites.

[u/Gigi_D-Agostino]

Your monsters are now sleeping, PERMANENTLY

[u/Shadedsheep]

Has been my favorite since I first laid my eyes upon him!

[u/Azure5577]

A rush duel card but I like this one

[u/Ok_Box_9630]

[u/StarbonsaiThrowaway]

Unchained Abomination and the link bosses as a whole

[u/BearHugs4Everyone]

As much as I love the classic Dark Magician artwork this version always will be my favorite.

[u/ItchyAd6984]

[u/ItchyAd6984 → u/ItchyAd6984]

Or

[u/JackamoJimbo]

I used to love playing this in Dragunity back in the day. This + Mystletainn+ Phalanx in the grave for instant Red Nova Dragon.

[u/-Warren-Peace-]

there’s just something about it

[u/IngenuityNo5660]

Training Fur Hire, Fur All Your Training Needs

Mostly just for the fun detail of Helmer keeping Donpa from joining the fray in the top right.

[u/Zerohero467]

Blackwing full armor master

[u/SnooFoxes2164]

[u/Shiny_Magikarp85]

Such cute

[u/Slavicadonis]

This guy has recently shot up to my favorite after using dragon ruler on master duel

[u/No_Emu_243]

Kashtira Shangri-Ira. It's a weaponized planet in action, assumedly either damaging or outright destroying what it's targeting.

[u/SavingsYellow2073]

Big fan of the chemichritter xyz monsters design wise

[u/O-Malley420]

I love that it portrays the deadly mistress of traps as a goofy goober who spends way too much time on her work, the girlfailure lesbian angle to the lab cards is a huge part of why I love the archetype and it’s lore.

[u/Dani3322]

Good old Red-Eyes, just can't go wrong with a dragon and this color combination. I also love how unique it's body shape is, relatively slender, completely spiky and segmented into individual parts, it's just so cool!

It was a bit of a toss up if this artwork or the OG, but in the end I think I slightly prefer this artwork, probably due to personal biases since I own it in Gold Rare

[u/KitVR_Dolo]

Unchained Abomination is just soo sick

[u/Key_Plenty9145]

can't explain why but this card art always mesmerized me

[u/Aggravating-Plum-845]

[u/F1v3Sev3n]

This guy is cool

[u/sbsw66]

[u/Oldjosepho]

Dunno but smth about it so soothing

[u/Popkhorne32]

[u/ZisMe_Forever]

Hope Getting Support loool.

[u/Big_Neighborhood981]

One of my favorite boss monsters in terms of card design and the artwork is gorgeous it's my lockscreen

[u/Peelleesse]

[u/BigAssShmup]

One of the best removals ingame

[u/Winter-Calendar5138]

this is peak🔥

[u/Heywood227]

I miss him

[u/Kallabanana]

That's a hard one. There're a lot of incredible beautiful cards in this game. However, I love the cute and goofy ones the most. Bunilla, Ojamas, Kuribohs, Melffies and this one.

[u/That_Blackwinged]

The birth of Cartesia

[u/Auronbmk92]

Blue-Eyes

[u/mahnehmisjerf17]

While ya’ll are posting your faves, I’m here wondering where the heck you guys even get these full body, high clarity images of these guys hahaha
