Card art is overlooked a lot by Yugioh players, sometimes it’s crazy to see some of the art produced by Konami.
Almost all of the new archetypes are completely original, especially the bigger monsters, which is amazing considering there are thousands of different cards out there right now.
Many cards feature mini-stories within them, feature other cards, or encapsulate epic moments in the Yugioh TV series.
Gone are the days of works of art like dissolverock & kurama.
Newer cards, as well as new artwork for old cards, have improved the game.
To see the best artwork in Yugioh 2021, check out this list!
10. Child’s play
Perfect for younger players, Child’s Play is a fun card to gain more and more life points and get bonus effects when you reach a certain amount.
Many children will see themselves as the character featured in the art, facing off against various powerful enemy monsters.
9. Dark Magician (Alternative Art)
Dark Magician is one of the most nostalgic trading cards ever created, recognized as Yugi’s main ace monster.
Over the years, you’ve seen several alternative art variants over the years, but this one is the best.
Found only in Mega cans 2017you can find it online for a cheap price!
8. Big Win!?
Pretty much a useless card in terms of gameplay, but the art is pretty cool.
Featuring the Skull Servant archetype card line, as well as 4 Exodia pieces.
Konami likes to release a series of card arts, so there will likely be a sequel to this card in the future.
7. Shipping Inspector
What makes this card’s art so amazing is how it looks at Secret Rare.
It’s definitely the best rarity of them all, but few cards pull it off as well as Inspector Boarder.
6. Activate Assault Mode
One of the best aspects of Yugioh is pulling off a grand strategy to summon an epic monster, you always feel like the duelist is seen in this card art.
More art is really needed with duelists performing actions!
5. Obliterate!!!
Most cards based on Exodia are amazing, this particular card art is the only one that really shows off the incredible power of Exodia.
It first appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series, episode 1, we see Exodia Obltrate 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons to take the victory.
4. Convulsion of Nature
This is a really old card, first released in America in 2013 with the legacy of darkness booster set
With 6 distinct elements ravaging the land around them, the art continues into the game, completely changing the way Yugioh is played when you flip the decks.
3. Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Alternate Art)
While the original art of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is forever embedded in the heart of every Duelist, it is quite out of date.
Konami did a great job for us releasing more art for the legendary monster, and finally gave us the art it deserves.
2. Unit
Released exclusively as Shonen Jump PromotionUnity is a rare card made to please the fans.
Featuring many of the main protagonists from the original Duel Monsters series, he joins Yu-Jo friendship for being one of the most exclusive card games in the game.
1. Slifer the Sky Dragon (Alternate Art)
All of Slifer’s alternate arts are awesome, but this particular variant, found in the 2019 Gold Sarcophagus Tinis the best.
Frankly, no other monster looks as epic and intimidating as Slifer in this card art.
Flying high, while raining down levels of lightning nukes, nothing else compares.
