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 😂

any Sheet? I'm thinking of the same idea but im quite new to D&D

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.

New UA dropped today and it has a "Cartomancer" feat. You can use a deck of playing cards as a spellcasting focus AND can store a spell into a card then use a bonus action to flourish the card and cast the spell. There are even spells in the UA based off of the Deck of Many Things. Thought I'd come and tell you since it was just too coincidental that this new UA would have a feat that would fit a Yu-Gi-Oh character so well.

@@dndbuilds Yugioh 5ds is probably the most mature Yugioh series yet. It's opening is also fricking amazing. Now, it's still a kids show, but it deals with a lot of mature stuff.

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

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

That sounds like a really interesting mechanic, I would totally do a few short games like that

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 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.

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

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

I love Joey and the red eyes black dragon

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

So you can take whichever one you want at the very beginning, but the feat explicitly says that whenever you gain a level up you can replace the invocation with another one.
