Hey there, fellow Duelists! Let's talk about Seto Kaiba, the king of attitude and master of the ultimate Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. This guy's card collection is legendary, so let's break down some of his most powerful cards ever played in the series!
Kaiba's Top 15 Cards: A Power Ranking
From iconic monsters to game-changing spells and traps, Kaiba's arsenal is filled with power and awesome strategic options! We're diving into his top fifteen cards across the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! series, with a mix of fan-favorite and game-changing moments. You may have known some already, but I am willing to bet there are surprises on the list for any true duelist.
15. Blue-Eyes White Dragon
This legendary card is practically synonymous with Kaiba. It's not just about stats, it's iconic to him and many other characters, the ultimate expression of the legendary Priest Seto's connection with Kisara! This beautiful tribute, while showing its age somewhat (thanks, power creep!), is still incredibly powerful, helped with its additional support that only keeps adding over time, making this one of his stronger options and definitely a strong opener.
14. Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon
Introduced in "The Dark Side of Dimensions," this upgraded Blue-Eyes is easier to summon—a game-changer. While matching the attack power of the original, it also destroys opposing monsters—powerful stuff! Its ability to be treated as the original during summon greatly helps as well. This really helps because he can then be used as material to form other Fusion Monsters. Although getting the right pair in hand at the right time is a big deal! Even still this gives Kaiba even more reliability to play!
13. Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
This is the strongest Fusion monster ever! Using three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, this powerhouse boasts a stunning 4,500 attack! Plus, it attacks up to three times (if that original Ultimate Dragon is around) but has no protection of its own. For a card that comes with so much damage it may seem ironic that the biggest drawback is its own lack of self-preservation. Even still, in most cases, those three powerful blows will be all you need!
12. High Speed Aria
This anime-original Trap card was vital during his duel with Yugi. High Speed Aria is about flexibility! It's essentially letting you choose from all those cards you have previously gotten rid of to make this a great turn that may just win you the whole match. You lose spell cards, for a turn, but for powerful moments it’s something you might consider doing! Still, this might even win the duel alone, so you'll really feel like you won it for the effort alone.
11. Magical Trick Mirror
Used way back in Battle City, it's like a free pass. Remember Kaiba’s near victory when he summoned all three Blue-Eyes? But, even without all the fancy extra actions it allows for! The card remains remarkably solid.
10. Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End
Banned in real life due to its crazy power, this dragon obliterates everything (with the penalty of doing the same for yourself!) in a final blow. While there isn’t much self-preservation, even in the cases that fail, you give those rivals an amazing punishment for even going up against such might. As far as raw, brutal power goes? There really isn't anything that can compete.
9. Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon
The ritual version of Blue-Eyes; incredible attack, but zero defense! You take out other monsters with this super move, and do insane amounts of damage that even the other high-powered cards wouldn’t do!
8. Deep-Eyes White Dragon
From "The Dark Side of Dimensions," it's a total monster-killer. So much so, there isn’t a card effect on that level alone! Every time this dragon enters a battle arena and then ends up leaving you really do feel its true power and strength. You could only wonder how it could even leave the battlefield and have so much influence at once!
7. The Fang of Critias
Creates ridiculously strong Dragons from Kaiba's traps, that also add crazy additional effects for a major bonus round. However, it’s a two card trick, making it hard to utilize to its full potential.
6. Dimension Fusion
Brings banished monsters back, including opponents, even those banned, at the cost of 2,000 life points. But! It's the total risk and reward for an all out offensive. With the ban in real-life, it shows how insanely overpowered this move actually is. Its usage alone shows off what it was truly capable of, creating almost an unbeatable turn for its wielder. That makes this truly game-changing in the Yu-gi-oh! universe.
5. Return From The Different Dimension
Another banned card that brings back banished monsters! A big gamble! This would probably be an insta-win for anyone and could definitely end the game in a single turn alone!
4. Virus Cannon
Forces the opponent to discard 10 spells! Not as flashy, but it ruins opponent's strategies entirely. It's the perfect display of Kaiba's ruthless strategies. There's nothing worse than a well-planned out set completely thwarted.
3. Card of Demise
Insane drawing power, but the sacrifice means big risks. This would almost ensure a victory because of that super-drawing power alone, the penalty can certainly backfire though. Kaiba doesn't just like strong hands but a solid hand.
2. Crush Card Virus
One of Kaiba's oldest, this Trap Card totally wrecks an opponent. Every single card gets thrown away that isn’t low-attack! What really matters is the massive damage the card was truly able to deliver in a single turn!
1. Obelisk the Tormentor
The ultimate god card and arguably Kaiba's strongest card ever! Almost invulnerable, with massive attack, Obelisk totally dominates every arena!
There you have it! Kaiba's fifteen strongest cards that have made such an amazing impact for his epic duels and truly have brought such awesome moments for those who follow Yu-Gi-Oh!.
