@@namvo3013it’s why every time they make a new pot card they put some kinda big cost on it. Banish 10 cards from your deck, or 6 from your extra deck, or you just can’t special summon for the turn.
In Pokémon TCG/OCG, drawing 2 cards for free is nothing. I bought one of the recent pre-made decks, and it came with 4 copies of a card that made you discard your entire hand and then draw 7 cards. It may be a hard once per turn card, but it was only 1 of the draw engine cards in the deck
I like how at the beginning it’s like “oh no the scary antagonist has drawn this super strong unknown card.” But then by like halfway all the main characters and protagonists are spamming pot of greed after they found out how busted it was.
3:23 “This allows me to take 2 cards from my deck and add them to my hand.” See this is why Atem is the GOAT. Due to the wording of his description, he changed Pot of Greed’s effect from a simple draw 2 into the most broken search card in existence. Put some respect in his name. 👍
Back in the day it was literally in the rulebook you get with the starter decks, you're encouraged to announce what you're doing whenever you play a card or activate an effect. We would all go anime protagonist mode whenever we flipped a card over.

That episode is from one of the virtual world filler episodes and for some reason the whole episode had insane animation. Not sure why they wouldn't put that much resource in not filler episodes
Makes sense that they explain it every time. Not every viewer watching the show knows what every card does and different people start at different episodes. So I love how they explain what’s going on for people who aren’t familiar with Yugioh so they can follow along.

Tbh it makes sense they have to explain card before activating them. Because there's so much distance between the players that it's impossible for the opponent to read your card details. I'm sure it's a system that forces you to state what you are activating. Like you could always hide an effect, but you have to declare the effect details whenever you are activating it. Makes sense when you understand that there's a big distance between the players and they can't just take a look at the card effects from the standpoint.
In case you people still don't know what pot of greed does: It targets the top 2 cards from your main deck, and moves them from that place to the rightmost spot in your hand, adding the topmost card of your deck into your hand first and adding the 2nd card to the right of that one, assuming the 1nd card still exists at that point, if it doesn't the 2nd card just goes to the rightmost spot in your hand. If no 2 valid cards could be targetted in your deck, you "deck out" instead, meaning you lose the duel. Yes I just explained literally 3 words with like 3 sentences worth of words. Edit: after 9 months this comment has over a thousand likes chill out you guys
My favourite part of this video is the characters explaining what it does to opponents who already used the same card in the same duel and explained its effect to them at the time.
I find it hilarious that little Yugi is the only one that’s like “You know what this does already” instead of just strictly explaining the card’s use like everybody else. Lol
@@kokichaosv6722 no even without pot of greed they find more than enough ways to wait time in an episode, rather card advantage was hard to come by so the generic pot of greed proved integral to keep hand size up
Pot of Greed: [Normal Spell] By activating this card you can draw a card then immediately draw another card again. Place the drawn cards onto your hand in any order you wish. After activating this card by placing it face down on your duel disk, and when the effects of Pot of Greed has been resolved, magically cut the animation frame to where the card is not visible and presumably in the GY. Thou shalt not draw 3 cards. Once the 2nd card is drawn by Pot of Greed's effect you may not draw any more cards due to Pot of Greed. Neither shalt thou draw 1 card unless you then proceed to 2. If you cannot draw the specified amount of cards this card effect conveys, being the number of 2, you lose the duel before its effects are resolved.
If anybody has tried writing a duel from the Duel Monsters era, you'll find very quickly that a player can run out of resources very quickly because the game is very slow and resource intensive in this time period. Pot of Greed is essentially a way for the writer to get a character back into the game easily without having to get into draw-pass-draw-pass repetition, which is boring. In fact, this is pretty much why _all_ draw effects exist. (Card of Sanctity, anyone?) In other words, Pot of Greed exists for narrative purposes, not to be a fair card.
They forgot the times in duelist kingdom where Yami Yugi says “I activate my Pot of Greed magic card! This allows me to take 2 cards from the top of my deck and add them to my hand!”

How's it interacting with the new monster." "Doin' fine, Bob. Pot of Greed's doin' juusst fine."
Its interesting how many different ways they can draw two cards, but Kaiba really shows of with how he drew early on, but later, he lost a lot of his flair.
Guys, I've been trying to figure this one out for ages. What does the Pot of Greed card do. My friends don't know, discription on the card isn't clear enough and the anime makes no attempt to explain it either...

If no 2 valid cards could be targetted from your deck, you "deck out" instead, instantly losing you the duel.
You start by summoning it and it lets you draw three cards. Then you can summon another and draw three more cards, then summon another, draw three cards, then activate Magic Force, which lets you summon another Pot of Greed, allowing you to draw three cards. Then you can summon a bunch of monsters in one turn, then you can summon Pot of Greed again and draw three cards.
I love how Joey plays Pot of Greed against Johnson and explains the card's effect to him, as if Johnson didn't just play that card himself and explain to Joey what it does
Someone somewhere somehow "draw from where? It doesn't state from where"-2006 this was something that happened enough it had to be clarified in the rulebook that came with startdecks
They basically did... but then they followed it up with an explanation anyway. I know absolutely nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh, but I watch these Pot of Greed complications every time I see them because they're just so ridiculous. And having referenced Pot of Greed... I am obligated to inform you that it allows me to draw TWO CARDS from the top of my deck. Bet you wish you'd known about it, huh?
"Now I activate pot of greed!" "oh boy..." "Its a magic card" "yes I know what it does" "It allows me to draw two new cards from my deck!" "yes..." "Greed is good!"
The really scary part is seeing how everyone’s fingers look different throughout the seasons.. going from pointy elongated elegant hands to stubby round hotdog fingers.
Funny thing is on Joey vs Judgeman. Joey immediately played pot of greed after Judgeman just used it last turn and he still needs to explain what pot of greed does.
My favorite thing about this video is how they keep drawing from the deck. Sometimes it's one at a time, other times it both at once. My absolute favorite is 1:13. So smooth.

"Gee, Bill, what does Pot of Greed do?"
"Two cards, Bob. Pot of Greed lets me draw two more cards."
"Gee, Bill. That sure sounds powerful. How's it interacting with the new monster."
"Doin' fine, Bob. Pot of Greed's doin' juusst fine."
I love how the animation improves whenever Kaiba is the one activating it. Screw the others he has money
pot of greed is actually a great card because it lets you draw two cards from your deck
Pot of greed is such a complicated card. I'm so glad they explained it every time it was used!
Its interesting how many different ways they can draw two cards, but Kaiba really shows of with how he drew early on, but later, he lost a lot of his flair.
Guys, I've been trying to figure this one out for ages. What does the Pot of Greed card do. My friends don't know, discription on the card isn't clear enough and the anime makes no attempt to explain it either...
Indeed it is truly one of the biggest mysteries in all of yugioh
@@denhrnz306 In case you people still don't know what pot of greed does: It targets the top 2 cards from your deck, and moves them from that place to the rightmost spot in your hand, adding the topmost card of your deck into your hand first and adding the 2nd card to the right of that one, assuming the 1nd card still exists at that point, if it doesn't the 2nd card just goes to the rightmost spot in your hand. If no 2 valid cards could be targetted from your deck, you "deck out" instead, instantly losing you the duel.
@@trickygamer555 Yeah but what does it do
@@denhrnz306 My bad, the explanation had a typo, it's fixed now.
You start by summoning it and it lets you draw three cards. Then you can summon another and draw three more cards, then summon another, draw three cards, then activate Magic Force, which lets you summon another Pot of Greed, allowing you to draw three cards. Then you can summon a bunch of monsters in one turn, then you can summon Pot of Greed again and draw three cards.
I wasnt paying attention. What does *The Magic Card, Pot of Greed* do???
Its anime effect is to draw 2 cards.
I love how Joey plays Pot of Greed against Johnson and explains the card's effect to him, as if Johnson didn't just play that card himself and explain to Joey what it does
Yes Yugi, we know what that means.
@Josh RamDor It's the total opposite bruh, he's the only one who realised that everyone before him repeated enough that they draw 2 cards 😭
Someone somewhere somehow "draw from where? It doesn't state from where"-2006 this was something that happened enough it had to be clarified in the rulebook that came with startdecks
It lets you banish a monster right?
Man these cards must be custom sized
Look at the size change of them in each clip
im surprised they never had a moment where they said “and you know what this does!” subtlety does not exist in anime at all
They basically did... but then they followed it up with an explanation anyway. I know absolutely nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh, but I watch these Pot of Greed complications every time I see them because they're just so ridiculous. And having referenced Pot of Greed... I am obligated to inform you that it allows me to draw TWO CARDS from the top of my deck. Bet you wish you'd known about it, huh?
Well, pot of greed actually lets you draw 3 additional cards
chazz is one of the few people to not say the effect of pot of greed, chazz it up
Idk seems illegal to me
So Chazz is the reason PoG got banned?
@@LatinGiudo817No, he's the reason Pot of Greed got Chazzed
Lmao I like how they explain the most simple card everytime its played
Like how stupid did they think kids were?
Pot of greed:
Summon two more cards
Charity:
Summon three cards,by discarding two
"You know what that means."
Narrator: "They didn't."
"Now I activate pot of greed!" "oh boy..." "Its a magic card" "yes I know what it does" "It allows me to draw two new cards from my deck!" "yes..." "Greed is good!"
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT DOES IT DO?!?!?!
It let you win.
Now I know why Pot of Greed is tournament banned. People were getting sick of finding new ways to explain that they could draw 2 more cards.
The really scary part is seeing how everyone’s fingers look different throughout the seasons.. going from pointy elongated elegant hands to stubby round hotdog fingers.
you know pot of greed is op when every character in the show ran it
I do love the animation of Kaiba going through his deck until he gets to the top 2
Other cards : 'do complicated things to draw cards'
Pot of greed : "cute~"
If I had a dollar for somebody explaining pot of greed I would be insanely rich
i like how when Marik uses it, the actual pot comes out. It's so unnecessary but it's a nice visual.
A 4kids goof has Strings' duel disk with it in Attack Position in a monster zone yet the pot itself didn't appear.
Now I understand what the runawayguys were talking about
At this point they're teasing us for being unable to use pot of greed
What I love is that they explain the effect like it's the first time we're hearing it lol like bro
Funny thing is on Joey vs Judgeman. Joey immediately played pot of greed after Judgeman just used it last turn and he still needs to explain what pot of greed does.
I love the animation for when kaiba draws the Card by gently pulling up all the deck cards
Thx for uploading this😂
Kaiba is real smooth when he draws 2 cards thanks to the effect of his Pot of Greed, which allows him to draw 2 cards.
The way they’re bending their sleeveless cards is stressing me out
THAT'S how that works! I had no idea!
Funny thing is: I STILL don’t know what pot of greed does
it basically win u the duel
it stays on the banlist for eternity
For the love of dragon you draw two cards from your deck man.
Same
@@julmarbrooks681 not convinced. Alistar draws 3
I like how they explain its effect every time they activate it but never explain the effect of other cards
"It does what it do" - Joey
For a second there, I thought Siegfried was not gonna explain what Pot of Greed does.
My favorite thing about this video is how they keep drawing from the deck. Sometimes it's one at a time, other times it both at once. My absolute favorite is 1:13. So smooth.
