Before you leave a confused comment: Yes, Ra's pay life points effect is optional, Dzeef misread that. However, if you do choose to activate the effect, you *have to pay down to 100LP* . Obelisk cannot be targeted by spells or traps, but it can still be destroyed, banished, sent to the grave, sent to the hand, shuffled into the Deck etc. Cards only target if they specifically say "target" on them. If they do not say "target", they do not target. Dark hole simply says "Destroy all monsters on the field." Not once does it say "target", therefore it does not target, meaning by activating it you can indeed destroy obelisk since he is not being targeted.

The cards themselves are already out in japan. The combos themselves are pretty good on paper, but awfully inconsistent. Soul Crossing + a god is a destructive combo, but you do need both in your hand, have no way of searching them and either card is useless without the other, also Soul Crossing is kinda risky because if your opponent destroys it too early, you're either forced to make a less optimal summon by activating it in return or you can't even use it at all, which means you end up with a dead card in your hand.

[@antoine5765]

I played Bye Bye Damage against a Ra summon once in Master Duel. Funniest shit ever. Though its very easy to build around Ra without killing yourself. Just play a Sacred Beasts deck and use Awakening of the Sacred Beasts. The first effect alone gives you LP based on the ATK of your opponents normal and special summons, thus limiting their options for comboing and risking Ra being a nuke if its summoned before or after the LP shenanigans. Let alone if you get Hamon on the field in defense then your pretty much set. This video is 4 years old and very out of date as you can make a very competitive deck out of these cards, especially against the current meta decks.

It's kinda weird how Slifer is the only one of the god cards that still has all of its effects from the anime. I wonder how different things would be if Obelisk and Ra got the same treatment Obelisk: You need to offer 3 tributes for this card's tribute summon. This card's summoning cannot be negated and no cards can be activated in response. Cannot be targeted by card effects. You can tribute 2 other monsters you control: Destroy all cards your opponent controls, and if you do, inflict 4000 damage. During the end phase of the turn this card was SS'd, send it to the GY. Ra: You need to offer 3 tributes for this card's tribute summon. This card's summoning cannot be negated and no cards can be activated in response. Cannot be targeted by card effects. This card's original ATK and DEF are equal to the sum of the ATK and DEF of the monsters used for this card's tribute summon. You can pay 1000 LP to target one card on the field: Destroy it. When this card is SS'd from the GY: You can pay any number of LP and if you do, this card's original attack becomes equal to the amount of LP paid and it can attack all of your opponent's monsters once each. During the end phase of the turn this card was SS'd, send it to the GY.

[@BigIsaac91]

Not.... really. They never really had any type of straight up protection in the anime. The duels are full of people affecting and targeting with all kinds of stuff. What they did have was some weird "god cards can only be affected by stuff for one turn." For example, Yugi could target Slifer with binding magic circle (or whatever it was called) but the card got popped during the end phase. It's also why they die at the end of the turn if they are resurrected. You could translate this as "any card that targets this card is destroyed during the end phase" In the modern game, if they still are to keep the 3-tribute requirement, they'd need "unaffected by card effects" and "cannot be tributed", at which point they might as well have an on-summon effect that states "your opponent reveals their extra deck. If your opponent cannot reveal Utopia the lightning, you win the duel"

[@jocoolshow]

shawn redmon anime gods weren’t unaffected by card effects. They were affected by spells and traps (for 1 turn). They weren’t able to leave the field other by card effects besides their own though.

Slifer did not have its full effects. In the anime, the Egyptian Gods could not be affected by effects that would cause them to leave the controller's field, could not have their effects negated, could not be tributed by the opponent, etc., and in the manga, they were even more powerful than this, being virtually unaffected by anything that wasn't directly god-related. All other effects only affected them for one turn, but they couldn't be removed by cards during that one turn. The only effects that removed them from the field in the anime, were cards that didn't exist in the mange (the original source material), and were thus written into the story specifically to remove them. Pyramid of Light was magical in nature, and Ragnarok is an event known for killiing of gods left and right; both showcasing that the writers were simply stuck on how to defeat them, and thus removed them by ways that were unfaithful to their true effects. Unless you could prevent their summoning, your only real way to defeat them would be by battle, and this was not even an option in the manga, as only gods could defeat gods in single combat. Unless you had a two-or-more-monsters combination attack, non-god monsters could never take a god monster down. The gods were, for all intents and purposes, Exodia in single monster form. In most cases, once a god had hit the field, the opponent had already lost. Yugi and Yuki Judai were the only duelists to ever get around that statistic, and only because their opponents messed up while using their gods.

[@Funloverparty]

In the anime, the God Cards, all three, were unaffected by other cards that weren't another God Card. They should've gotten that effect. They'd be so much better if the only out to them was battle, another god,... or a FUQING Kaiju

[@JuwanBuchanan]

+MasterWalt They can't even be tributed. They are the ultimate unkillable monsters. Their manga effects are much more consistent than how they were used in the anime. Kaiba tributed Obelisk for Blue-Eyes which contradicted Obelisk himself because he cannot be tributed. The anime isn't even a good source to see if you want to see the God cards true effects.

[@nine_tails137]

In the Anime, Obelisk's ability lets it inflict 4K damage to "everything" on your opponent's Side of the Field(including their Life Points). Slifer's Effect is pretty much the same as its Anime counterpart, Ra's Anime effect was one of 2 effects: 1. Ra's Atk and Def becomes the total Atk and Def of the Tribute Monsters(Ex: tribute 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons, and Ra's Total Atk will be 9K) and 2. Use said card(s) such as Monster Reborn for example, to bring it back from the Graveyard, then pay life points to raise its Atk and Def base on the total number of Life Points spent. However, you have to at least have 1 LP left when using this effect, or loose the Duel.

[@παναγιώτηςμαυρόπουλος]

Dude Ra has like 20 f*ing effects on the anime and no thats not hyperboly...for example ..... Cannot be affected by the effect of any card,cannot be tributed by your opponent,when combined with de-fusion gives your LP back,when summoned this card is able to attack immediatly,this card can attack every single monster in each battle phase,the attack of this card cannot be stopped,you can pay your LP whenever you want (the amount still was not optional)but still also was treated as machine type,if the card is in DEF mode every attack is redirected and those are real effects i didnt make them up there is a cool video titled true effects of gods.also I MEAN REAL FOR THE ANIME in reality it sucks :P

Seriously, the Ra one upsets me the most. Why did they not want to include such an iconic part of that Ra's kit? I understand those still might not make them playable from a deck setup point of view, but they'd actually have decent impact as a glorified beatstick that is trouble to remove from the field. They're just not worth the setup (probably never were), especially with being so easy to remove once they hit the field. Oh and shoutouts to Horakhty, the most meme card there ever was.

Anyone else notice a lot of people romanticizing how "broken" they were in the show? "They were unaffected by everything!", yeah, except for Sacrifice Blast, Command Silencer, Kuriboh, Necromancy, De-Fusion, Class System, Seal of Oricalcos, Ground Erosion, and Magnet Force. And probably a few I'm forgetting. I know they SAID over and over again that they were immune to normal card effects, but clearly they weren't. "They can't be destroyed in battle except with other gods". I've seen this one multiple times and I have no idea where it comes from. They never stated it in the show, and was directly contradicted multiple times. Yugi destroyed Obelisk with his magnet warriors during season 4, and the first time he faced off against Slifer, there was every indication his Buster Blader could have destroyed Slifer since it had more attack points. The only thing that stopped him was Jam Defender still being in effect. "They can't be sacrificed, so Kaijus wouldn't have worked". Again, I see this a lot and there's zero justification for it in the show. Both Yugi AND Kaiba sacrifice their god cards at one point.

[@nicolaistuhlmuller8718]

And this was the season where Jinzo evaded destruction from Time Wizard because he was essentially stainless and thus he wouldn't rust even after 1000 years. And ultimately despite the cool animation what Yugi ultimately did was to just use a mere destruction spell card to beat Ra in the end.

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

Funny enough in the manga, Ra loses to magical dimension instead of the anime's ragnarok spell. Also yugioh R manga had the god rank system where wicked avatar and Ra cannot be destroyed by lower gods (slifer, obelisk, dreadroot, eraser [unless you use the spell Divine Evolution on them to rank the gods up]).

I wanna do some kind of thought-experiment/fan-rebalance of the god cards now, but I've never played YGO competitively, or at all in months. I do however know Egyptian myth. Ra was the sun god: sunset was seen as Ra voyaging to the underworld for the night, and dawn was seen as rebirth. So what if Ra summoned itself from the graveyard during its owner's standby phase, replenishing the owner's life points each time it did? Slifer was originally Osiris, god of the underworld and agriculture. Life and death as one. He was also the former king of the gods before his death. So what if we gave him the ability to summon servants, only for death to claim them at the end of the turn? Maybe make the level of the summoned monster be limited by the number of cards in your hand, but have Slifer's divine powers waive the need for restrictive summoning requirements? Obelisk is a structure. But torment sounds like it could go with Slifer's Second Mouth, as you said in the video. Maybe make 1 monster sacrifice to attack directly? That could maybe combo with my suggested ideas for the others, Slifer's servants dying anyway and Ra acting as Khepri and rising to health once again as always.

They'd be more viable - But due to the fact that the gods are main deck monsters, and not extra deck monsters - You would have to rely on drawing it or having an archetye around them that can search them But if we did choose the latter, then it would die hard to handtraps

[@Mr.SteelinKeepIt]

They would also have to say “Cannot be tributed except by it’s own conditions”. That way it can’t be Kaiju’ed etc. Also “can’t have it’s position changed except by this card’s controller.” As well as “Cannot be sent to the graveyard except by battle” and “Cannot be banished”. It’s a lot yes, but so is the current meta. This would make it banned or at least limited, but it would feel like a “God” card.

[@4137Swords]

Yeah I never knew why they made them so bad. In the anime, they had tons of broken effects. Like all of them couldn't be destroyed by effects, I believe, and Ra especially had all these other broken effects. Obelisk is the most like it's anime version, but they made it so it couldn't attack after destroying everything. Wiping the field and attacking for 4000 may be busted in the anime, but in the actual game, that's not that broken. Lightsworns do that all the time except for 3000. Slifer I really like, but they got rid of all its protection effects. Ra is the absolute worst. In the anime, he had a ton of effects. His attack equaled the total attack of all the tributed monsters, and the paying LP to increase attack effect was just an added bonus. Also, while Marik did end up paying all but 1 of his LPs, it wasn't restricted to doing so. You could pay any amount of LPs to increase its attack, which is much better. It's like out of all the effects it had, they had to pick the worst ones and also nerf them. Like why? Would the God cards even be broken if they had their anime effects?

[@jouheikisaragi6075]

Ethan Schmidt They'd be at the very least mediocre

[@jocoolshow]

Ethan Schmidt Obelisk doesn’t wipe the field and attack for 4000 in the anime. His 2 unique effects are 1.) Tribute 2 monsters: this card’s Attack becomes infinity until the end of the battle phase (quick effect) and 2.) Tribute 2 Monsters : Destroy all monsters your opponent controls and Inflict Damage to your opponent equal to this cards attack (quick effect). Since Obelisk is unaffected by opponents monster effects, even monsters that can’t be destroyed by card effects or are unaffected by card effects still die to this card The universal effect that all the gods share are “This Cards is unaffected by non divine monster effects. This card cannot leave the field by card effects. Spell and trap effects that affect this card only last until this turns end phase. This card cannot be tributed by your opponent. This card’s control cannot be changed. If this card is special summoned, return it to the place it was special summoned from during the end phase.” Those aren’t the exact words Konami would use but you could just look up there effects in ygopro since it has anime and manga cards there for the actual listed effects

Wait, so Ra's famous 'sacrificed monster's ATK and DEF make up Ra's initial ATK and DEF' doesn't exist in the actual card game? Well, there goes the primo reason for using Ra in the first place! Seriously, using Ra's Disciples as the sacrifices would make it pretty damn powerful anyway with 3300 ATK, then give up 1000 or so LP and you can overpower most monsters. And they cut that out to prevent it being overpowered? They're prevented from being overpowered due to the summoning conditions - you need 3 monsters on the field in the first place and the God Card in your hand, which can be pretty difficult to pull off, especially since decks designed to pump out monsters have weak monsters that can be easily dealt with. Besides, they're supposed to be slightly OP - they're GOD Cards.

[@biohazardlnfS]

[@TheZipperDragon]

Slifer's my favorite, just because of his effect that lets you drain monster's attack by 2000, & destroy it if the monster hits zero.

[@therandominfochannel6619]

It's not good for the health of the game to make any small set of cards the most powerful in the game. Most people will only continue to play if the game has variety, with the top cards and decks changing once in awhile, whether through power creep, new rules and mechanics, or doing like Magic: the Gathering and banning older cards after so many years so there's no pressure to make constantly more powerful cards. People would get bored of the same three cards on top. The only thing I think would have been better is if they made the cards with all the anime effects but didn't allow them to be used competitively. But as many have pointed out even with the anime effects the cards wouldn't be very good against most competitive players using more modern meta decks. It's too slow to do a three tribute normal summon for them to be viable. Honestly you can just use either the official cards or the illegal vanilla versions and just pretend they have the anime effects in casual play if you want. There are all kinds of fun formats people make up for casual play. Playing vanilla monsters where their flavor text becomes the effect, giving all cards their anime effects, having to win the game using a certain card or by a specific condition (like having to attack directly with Frog the Jam or something lol).
