How to build Yu Gi Oh in Dungeons and Dragons (Yugi in DnD) 

He's just a homebrew warlock that gets a special version of the deck of many things

So I've built two YGO characters in Atem and Jaden, and one fun little roleplay thing i did was actually construct a small 20-25 card deck of yugioh cards, tailored to emulate the spells and traps that i have access to on my character sheet. Then when we roll initiative or if an appropriate rp situation arises, i actually shuffle up and draw a hand and those are the spells/traps/summons i have access to, just like i was actually dueling in the game. It was a lot of fun and added a ton of flavor to the character, although beware, you can actually brick just like in the card game 😂

EDIT: one mistake on this build, you can't get an invocation with a level requirement you don't meet in Warlock with that feat, so another feat or invocation choice would be needed. I'm pretty happy with this card casting summoner DnD Build. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

For anyone rewatching this build, the warlock’s expanded spell list is only more options, NOT additional gained spells.

DnD abilities literally sound like the names of yugioh cards. This video is underrated

The pyramid thing around his neck is called The millennium puzzle

My favorite cards would probably be Stardust Dragon (5d's is my favorite YGO series, and Stardust was pretty much the main staple of my Synchro Deck when I actually played), Dark Magician Girl (for obvious reasons), and Blue Eyes White Dragon (all these years later, and still as iconic as when the game first came out. Also still the Normal Monster with the Highest Attack).

So I have 2 methods I take for Yu-gi-oh in D&D. One is RAW the other is homebrew. 1rst, Raw, I go more illusionist wizard, with a focus on Phantasmal Force, Phantasmal Killer, Mental Prison, Simulacrum, and Illusory Dragon. 2nd is Homebrew, specifically an item made to pair with a deck of illusions. Basically, it lets you cast either Fantasmal Force or Fantasmal Killer on the creature you just summoned into illusory life. My favorite monster Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Im saying this before watching this video. My friends and i made a Yugioh D&D game. We were playing regular D&D and i asked wouldn't it be cool if we could duel in the story? So i decided to experiments with some ideas. At first i took inspiration from the Labyrinth duel in season 1 then but instead of the monsters moving by their level the characters move their token along squares by a 10 sided die roll. Then the heroes duel against a set number of minions controlled by the dungeon master and one other depending how many heroes there are because the dungeon master controls all the different decks of the minions and is dueling simultaneously with different heroes. There are battle rewards like the minions drop forbidden cards the heroes can use and they must collect the millennium items to help them against the main boss. If a hero loses then they convert to bad guys and if all heroes are converted then the story is over and evil wins. If a converted hero is beaten by a hero then they are heroes again but start with less life points then when the story started. Its basically a long survival duel because after you beat an enemy your field and life points stay the same. You can reset the field on certain conditions and you can gain life points when you beat an enemy. Its a lot of fun. Favorite single card is Dark Magician. Favorite archetype are the Elemental Heroes. If you like casual/character duels and have edopro, my discord is Jankmaker #8829

He forgot to mention that you could Summon Winged Sun God Ra and deal Radiant Damage (to make it more like the god card).

I love the Gravekeeper card archetype, which I feel is a great use of the Egyptian theming and could very well be a nod to how the spellcasters of the ancient era did battle before duel monsters became things they could summon from those stone tablets.

I never got to play dnd but I'm really into watching dnd podcasts. If I do get a chance I would love to play a summoner type character that has some yugioh flair.

I definitely like the idea of activating trap cards with this build. I'm working on making a Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the beginning build and a Dark Magican build. So when I use this Yugi character in a campaign, I can "summon" my allies to fight for me.

my favorite archetype is Odd-Eyes. I love how a dragon can change and evolve in almost every direction and at the time have a variant for each special summon in a fun deck with a lot of options to play with and so many cool cards with sub archetypes to work with as perfomapal and magician >3

Masked HERO Koga is my favorite card, through i love the HERO Archetype overall, and my favorite Yugioh character would be Jounoichi/Joey if we take just the original series. But if we take the whole franchise then it's Judai/Jaden Yuki. From a teenager that just love playing to an young adult that understands the consecuences of what his actions have, tries to do the right thing, and found it in himself to still enjoy it.

I love Joey and the red eyes black dragon

My favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card is the spell card cunvolshen of nature it's really cool and fun seeing the cayos unfold because of it thanks sind.V.

My favorite card, for reasons that escape me, is Beaver Warrior. I honestly don't know why.

I have always been a fan of Yami Yugi even though I loved Blue Eyes White Dragon more than Dark Magician.

I know I'm late to the party, but my favorite card is definitely Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End. I have so many good memories of using it in causal plays.

black luster soldier is my favorite monster, the OG blue cards. also gotta mention C62: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon , what an over the top name for a card

I'm glad that I've stumbled onto this channel recently. I've been watching several videos. At some point, unless you've done so already, it would be neat if you would consider making a build for the anime character Asta or Yuno from the anime series Black Clover. Asta, the main character, is an orphan born without mana. He acquires a tainted grimoire that has a devil trapped inside of it, which Asta uses to help people and become a magic knight, specializing in anti-magic via tainted swords. Yuno, the rival of the main character who grew up with him at an orphanage, is a grimoire-using magic knight that casts wind magic. He gains within the first or second season a wind spirit as an ally, who helps boosts the power of his wind magic. The wind spirit is a petite fairy-looking girl. Yuno later on learns that he's the heir to the throne in a neighboring kingdom. In the event you do make a video on a character from this series, it would be good to research the anime and manga.

Unfortunatly Ive never had the chance to play D&D but I like these videos.

My favorite card is Super Conductor Tyranno Big Bungus Dinosaurs were always my favorite, and Super Conductor Tyranno used to be the biggest bungus dinosaur

Blue eyes twin burst dragon is comepletely broken, as it attacks twice with 3000 dmg each

thank you a lot!

Light End Dragon. It's originally from the Yugioh GX Manga but it got reprinted during the 5ds Era as a Synchro Monster. Personally, I really love its effect, which has it decrease its own attack by 500 but decrease the opponent's monster by 1500. It's always been my go to when dealing with threats with 3500 ATK or less. Its design is also very cool, its card art makes me think of the Signer dragons too, so when playing one of the DS games for Yugioh 5ds, I always rush to try and get that card as soon as possible.

I like this! I will say for a familiar, I use a bat because a 60 ft. Blindsight is OP!! And you can get this as early as level 1!

Love the several hero different types mostly the mask heros

Great Yugi build! An interesting build I would like to see would be The Dark Magician himself. Spells like Thousand Knives would be Cloud of Daggers, maybe Mirror Image would be Magical Hats, Blight or Magic Missile could be his signature Dark Magic Attack etc. The Ultimate Wizard in terms of Attack and Defense!

I would've gone for Shadow sorcerer instead of wizard as all of yugi's magic is pretty much "Dark"-themed plus it is more inherent rather than a result of studying and stuff

My favorite card is Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, it's the ace card of my deck!

One thing you gotta know about magic jar. You possess someone then cast clone in their body. Then when you die you go into the cloned body of that person. That Barbarian with a capped con mod and high dex? Yeah I'm borrowing your body bro

Yugi is the definition of Kelathiar... He has a second soul inside of him.

Number Ic1000: Numerounius Numerounia is my favourite card

Blue eyes for me been playing since 2001

My favorite character is probably Yuto, and my favorite card is probably heavymetalfoes electrumite. #makependulumgreatagain

My favorite card is mirrorforce dragon

For me it is Dimension wall. My deck mostly trap cards and life point damage base cards.

Yugioh is not a franchise that appeals to me, but a summoner build sounds interesting.

ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUEL

11 o’clock on the dot

favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! Card: The Seal of Orichalcos

My favorite "cards" more or less deck is the Toon Deck Pegasus

correction on the protection of the talisman. you have to be a 7th level warlock for it. not a 7th level character.

My favorite card woud usually be Strdust dragon cause of 5D's, but im gonna have to go with my first love Black Rose Drangon and my First card ever Obelisk The Tormentor!!!!!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you made a mistake in this video as well as your Joker video. When an eldritch invocation has a level prerequisite, it means warlock level not character level. So Yu-Gi can't take protection of the talisman and Joker can't take chains of carceri, they may be a high enough level character but they are not a high enough level warlock to gain those invocations. I don't think this breaks either of these builds as I'm sure you could substitute the invocations and or the feats for different more general options like devil's sight or tough. Other than that small mistake I really love both these builds and cant wait to see what you come up with next. Keep up the great work!

my favorite yu-gi-oh card is monster card time wizard

Got some more DND Build ideas! Saw a DND meme… it was a tortle monk with both oogway from kung fu panda and Michelangelo front TMNT. So how about the Furious 5 with Po/Shifu/Oogway and then the TMNT team with Splinter/April (bard imo)/ Casey Keep it up!

17:46 sorry, but as a Yu-Gi-Oh nerd, I have to point out it is pronounced SLY-FER, and the lucky feat would fit here, but great build! RIP Kazuki Takahashi, the true King of Games.

I’ve seen a couple other Yugi builds, but this took a different direction, and that’s a lot of fun. Build seems really relevant; only thing really holding it back being the point-by stat acquisition.

My favorite monster, would have to be dark flare dragon I think

Kaiba and Blue-Eyes White Dragon RIP Kazuki Takahashi

Not really a favorite card as you need all three, but the masked knight lv3 lv5 and lv7 are by far my favorites, it's sad that there's no actual cards of them, but konami has put them into duel links which is how they became my favorites and a staple of any deck i use in that game.

You know Druid could work for specific deck types like natures or melffy or if you want to get weird flowercardian

My favorite Yugioh card is Mystic Mine.

My favorite card is gate guardian and yubel

My favorite card is Fallen Angel of Roses

my favourite Character is Mai Valentine and my favourite card is Monster reborn

Quick question: can this build be used for other characters from Yugioh? I ask because I’m trying to build Shun Kurosaki/Shay Obsidian from Arc-V, and he uses a deck of mechanical birds.

Favourite yugioh card would be eldlich the golden lord or aliester the invoker

My favorite character is Yugi/Yugioh/Atem/Pharaoh Favorite card(s) are Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl

My favourite is torn between black skull dragon and buster blader

The holding off on the feats and eldritch invocations chosen is tripping me up, cuz I thought it you don't use it upon level up you sort of lose it? You can't really just delay the choices during level up, can you?

My favourite card is Dragonmaid Sheou

I suggested this Wahoooooooo

Slifer the sky dragon and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon

Dark Magician

So what is your celestial Parton ? Who you pick ?

Monster Reborn

Im homebrew the milenium items the puzzle for example gives the user the lucky feat

Can you do Pegasus

I know I just suggested something but what about Kratos for God Of War

Dark magician, all day long.

Felgrand Dragon

DDD Oracle Kind D'Arc is mah girl.

🥑

Dark Magician/Dark Magician Girl

Chromatic Orb is actually a stupid expensive spell to cast.

Persuasion will also be great so you can cheat at card games on the regular by just making up random shit lol

Did you just create a better version of Dungeon Dice Monsters :O

Don't you mean duel disk?

Tasuke knight

My favorite card is my profile picture

12:58 im sorry what 🤨

I never cared about Yu-Gi-Oh. That creates a weird curiosity since I assume it will be a summoner with maybe illusion spellcaster.

Summoner build much.. 😆

His name is not YuGiOh. It's just Yugi. Or Atem.

black paladin and my boy buster blader. fuck dragons lol

Obnoxious Celtic Guardian
