Are God Cards Banned?
While the initial Egyptian God Cards were perceived as unbalanced and threatening to the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! structure, they did not pose an immediate game-breaking potential. In order to safeguard the integrity and competitiveness of the game, Konami took a thorough approach. In 1999, they banned Obelisk the Tormentor, Armament, to prevent rampant exploitation.
Initial Ban Period
The Obelisk Card was, however, legal for trading card purposes initially. Throughout the first anime series run, it, along with Ra and Zorc-Ra, showcased their dominating strength. Meanwhile, fan base speculation surged, attributing these creatures’ potent nature to ‘God-card status.’
