In Battle City, Kaiba's Deck takes on several traits of a Virus Deck, which focuses on removing cards from his opponents' Decks and leaving them with limited options. Against Yugi he tries regaining Life Points or destroying the opponents cards to stall until he draws the right cards required for Summoning " Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" for the final blow. His main plan consists of using " Saggi the Dark Clown" as bait, then use " Crush Card" to destroy the opponent's Deck. Notably, his signature card (through all seasons of the anime and manga) is the " Blue-Eyes White Dragon". Ghost Kaiba also utilized Kaiba's Deck and the Duel Computer also used some of his cards when Kaiba wanted to test his new Duel Disk system.
In the later arcs, he incorporates " Virus" Trap Cards such as " Giant Germ", " Crush Card", and " Virus Cannon" that give it the traits of a Virus Control Deck and swarm Deck, destroying all monsters in his opponent's Deck with more than 1500 ATK, further crippling their ability to defend against him.Īs the series evolves, Kaiba's switches his focus towards Dragon-Type monsters. His monster lineup is spearheaded by his signature card, " Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and its Fusion form, " Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". The Spells and Traps in his Deck normally serve to disrupt and counter any strategies his opponents would use. During the first several arcs of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, his Deck is composed of vicious-looking monsters, with most of them being DARK Fiend-Type. Kaiba mainly runs Decks that centralize on a beatdown strategy to aggressively overwhelm his opponents with high ATK monsters.
