Everyone has a card they have a Spiritual and Personal Connection with.

(remember A Soul Card is determined by your Personal and Spiritual Connection to the card. Not because of its power, not because of its effect, and not because of how useful it is)

My soul Card is Guardian Eatos. Why? Its simple:
1: Guardian Eatos is a Native American Warrior. I'm Native American Myself, I'm from the Blackfoot Tribe. So there is a Personal Connection I have with Guardian Eatos.
2: Guardian Eatos resembles an Angel. I believe in Angels. Thus that makes it a Spiritual Connection I have with Guardian Eatos.

No you don't, you'd win by making up a rule in the middle of the duel, even so you wouldn't get the equip spell since you'd leave the duel the moment you see frostosaurus.

My soul card would have to be Vylon Prism, since it can make it's friends stronger by equipping itself to them to boost their ATK, and I like to help others improve too.

My soul card? My SOUL CARD?
How dare you give such a tasteless name to my LORD, my SAVIOR, the GLORIOUS CRAB TURTLE? He is the HOLY ONE who made this world in his image. He speaks through me and his followers his WORD which is GOOD. He has battled many a foe, the Spiral Serpent, the Hungry Burger, the Denizens of the Dark World. He has smited them all with his Claws of Justice and his noble Axe of Despair!

When I was but a wee lad, I opened my first ever yugioh pack, Metal Raiders. I still own the cards from that pack to this day, including Guardian of the Labyrinth, Skull Knight, Deepsea Shark, Final Destiny, but one stuck out to me: Turtle Oath. I was in like 1st or 2nd grade, and Yugioh was still very new to me. So new, in fact, that the rulebook I had did not have any pictures of Ritual Monsters. The card spoke to me, demanding I find its Crab Turtle. Thus, with my yugi structure deck, I set out to find it at school. I asked all my friends if they knew of the card, and I caught wind that my friend Adrian had a Crab Turtle! His card was in terrible condition, all chewed up around the edges, but I was unphased. THIS WAS MEANT TO BE. In a heartbeat, I traded my Foil Dark Magician for that Crab Turtle, and I never looked back. I have been a much happier person ever since.

Crab Turtle is love, Crab Turtle is life! Follow the 7 Colored Fish and learn from its Infinite Wisdom! Beware the Hungry Burger, the Prince of Lies and Darkness.

Limiter Removal

Cause, if you don't break past your limits, you're holding yourself back. (And yes CrystalMusic, you're afraid of breaking of breaking out of your shell of playing Normal Yugioh)

I rather enjoy posts like these so I'll bite.

My soul card is Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons. Life is filled with darkness and if you let it, it will kill you. From the struggles I've been put threw I clutched the darkness of hell with my own hand and instead of being a victim I used it to make me stronger as a person and be more full of pride. Beelze is a indestructible force, battle or effects won't kill it. It keeps fighting, and when damaged it grows even stronger. Like me everything that tries to stop me I grow even stronger and fight back even harder never to roll over and die. It sounds like stupid edgelord stuff, but it is really how I feel and what've been thru.

"I call the fallen God! Cast your shadow on this disgusting world and bury the heavens! With your transformation of writhing maggots, extinguish hell! The WORLD ...is in the palm of our hand! Dominate it! Synchro Summon, Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons!"

This is probably the first time CrystalMusic asked a legit question.

For me, its absolutely Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight. It actually is the card that got me back into Yu-Gi-Oh, after I stopped playing for several years. The number of times I use Eye of Timeaus to summen Dark Magician Girl instead of Dragun is ridiculous. As a player, it is probably the thing that holds me back the most, but it is what makes the game fun for me, so I gladly take those losses.

no a personal connection is something you and the card have in common via soul or blood. something like your heritage, or religious views. example: Guardian Eatos is a Native American Warrior. Im Native American. Im from the Blackfoot Tribe. Therefore Eatos and I have a personal connection!

That is a fair point, but then again, people can have sentimental value towards any card or deck for any reason, whether it be for the same reasons that you mentioned, or for more personal reasons such as mine. Seeing that you are trying to invalidate other people's reasons for valuing certain cards for reasons you don't agree to make yourself look superior, all you're doing is making yourself look more petty than you already are. Then again, why bother to come up with a decent argument when you can just block people that you clearly can't win against?

says the one who is to lazy to explain how their own custom cards work. No one knows how your custom cards work better than you yourself, thats why it makes much more sense for anyone who plays a custom card that they made, to explain the card to their opponent. That and its easier for both players, and helps keep the duel at a faster pace. But no, you didnt explain your cards, you expect your opponent to know how they work! It is not the opponents job to read your cards, as the player of a card it is your job, just like in the real game, to tell your opponent the effect of the card!

Demanding to be spoonfed is rather rude and self-patronizing. Watch any high level players, they don't ask their opponents to explain anything they say "wait, reading".

Just saying, but typing+reading is SLOWER than reading. Meaning, that your main point (keeping a faster pace) is not even true. As long as players do a decent job at writing their effects, there is no real reason for them explaining every card like in the anime. If you are to ask 'Hey, I don't quite understood the card at first glance.' I am pretty sure that Darkraiclone would've tried to rephrase it for you. But, well, I have seen the replay. You didn't even give him a chance to explain anything, and went on with your own assumptions.
Also, thats something for the other topic, I thought this one's about our soul cards.

my issue is ppl dont give me the chance to read their cards. me? i wait about 10 seconds before i play another card, most of my cards are about 1 - 3 sentences long so it doesnt take long to read, and even IF my opponets read my card i still explain what the card does out of respect and courtesy because of how some of my cards are worded it may be confusing to the opponent. so i simplify what the card does to help them understand my card. This is why i ask ppl to explain their cards because sometimes due to how a card is worded it can be confusing, even IF it has proper PSCT. you have to remember there are ppl out there who have reading, and social disabilites, so its only courteous to explain your cards to your opponent just in case they have said disabilites! its called respect of the opponent. and respect of those who have reading disabilities.

you dont have to go on and on about how the card works. just simplify how it works to keep the sentence short, simple and easy to understand. for example: my card called Kitchi - The Goddess https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=983703

if i summon her via kitchis will (which is the only way she can be summoned) i just simply say: you cant do anything during her summon, also shes immune to everything but battle against a beast warrior monster whos original atk is higher or equal to hers. additionally she allows me to SS 1 beast-warrior from my hand, deck or GY once per turn. finally she gains 200 ATK for every beast-warrior in my GY.

Then during the BP: i go on to explain that you cant activate or resolve anything if she attacks, until my next attack during the same BP.

this not only makes Kitchi - The Goddess much easier to understand because of her long text, it simplfied her effect.

And you're gonna get a shallow explanation on any intricacies the card might have. Unless you read the card and get a full understanding of it's mechanics you're just doing yourself a disservice while making the game slower.

but enough about this, this post is not about customs or explaining custom cards. its about what your soul card is, and why its your soul card.

Just... say that youre reading. Like everyone does in Advanced Rated/Unrated and every other gamemode. Nobody expects you to know what every card does, even in non-custom. That is why you can just type a short "reading" and your opponent will most likely write "sure" and waits, till you write "k". If the opponent still happily summons, thats a different story, but you flipped the table after like 2 cards. We all are human beings, and if we talk, I think things will turn out somewhat decent at least.

If the person in question really has some disabilities, which is probably on the rarer side in a card game: How exactly does you rewriting what the card does help them? I mean, sure, noble idea, but what kind of reading disability stops them from reading the card text, but not from reading your WRITTEN explaination? If this was a physical game I could agree, but as it stands this sounds just like some kind of excuse. Also, I am pretty sure, that a person who has some disability could just mention it. Only the worst kind of person would be like 'Nah, just because youre unable I won't change my behavior.' I mean, heck, I am both depressive AND german, and I remember what it was like when we started playing with english cards when we were like 12. Just chatting will usually solve the problem. Believe it or not, we don't visit DB daily because we want to be jerks, but because we like to play Yugioh with people, or chat in MM or visit the forum. If we want to be pissed, we have a perfectly working twitter.

I also just won't comment on your card, because... well, to be honest, that things so horrible unbalanced that it makes me want to join a discord server for custom cards. but thats aside the point. And I think you've already been told more than enough times, that just maybe you should ask people for second or thrid opinion on your customs.

dude my card i posted requires a prerequisite of a spell, that spell card requires a particular monster + 7 others. that particular monster requires 2 tributes with a requirement of one of those materials for the tribute being a particular name. therefore that fusion requires 10 cards to even be summoned, and 3 out of those 10 have to be specific cards.

and as i just said. enough! this post is about soul cards not custom cards.

I don't really get how you can call out people for feeling drawn to a card because of aesthetics, when your only reason for your soul card is, that it resembles a native american person, which happens to be your cultural identity. Just saying, but "This cards reminds me of which women's vagina I fell out of" isn't really that much of a reason either. In fact, so far your reasoning seems to be the weakest in this topic.

so a personal, religious and ethnic connection with a card is the weakest reason to have a connection with a card??? you need to get your priorities straight!

Congratulations, IT, you took a perfectly innocent thread and turned it into another argument.

Also, 'other than it speaks to you.' Real subtle.

Obviously, you have a problem with our LORD and SAVIOR, the GLORIOUS Crab Turtle.

Your Soul Card isn't Eatos, it's clearly HUNGRY BURGER

Nope, personal and religious reasons are fine by me, since those are chosen by the individual himself. Ethic is something one just happens to belong to. Don't get me wrong, if you want to be proud of being a native american, feel free. And heck, your Soul Card can be whatever you like the most. But don't go around declaring what is a valid reason for being ones' Soul card, especially if the only thing you can be proud of is something you had not even a hand in.

Think about why Native Americans (btw this is a stupid term as anyone born in the U.S. are native to the U.S. now) are called Red Skins

Then think about why the Football Team called Red Skins (I think its football) had to change their name cause it was a "racist" term.

You know, now that it has been brought up, I would say that Eatos actually represents multiple acts of cultural appropriation. Think about it, the card, Guardian Eatos is depicted by a white woman who is clearly appropriating the cultural garments of American Indians, meanwhile the image of the card itself was made in japan in which the artist not only appropriated the American Indian design of the garments but also had them be worn by a white woman. So in a word, the card is essentially appropriationsception and that CrystalMusic's soul card is based around cultural appropriation, meaning that CrystalMusic is either a secret racist or is in support of cultural appropriation.

no a personal connection is something you and the card have in common via soul or blood. something like your heritage, or religious views. example: Guardian Eatos is a Native American Warrior. Im Native American. Im from the Blackfoot Tribe. Therefore Eatos and I have a personal connection![/quote:3hulxolh]
That is a fair point, but then again, people can have sentimental value towards any card or deck for any reason, whether it be for the same reasons that you mentioned, or for more personal reasons such as mine. Seeing that you are trying to invalidate other people's reasons for valuing certain cards for reasons you don't agree to make yourself look superior, all you're doing is making yourself look more petty than you already are. Then again, why bother to come up with a decent argument when you can just block people that you clearly can't win against? [/quote:3hulxolh]

says the one who is to lazy to explain how their own custom cards work. No one knows how your custom cards work better than you yourself, thats why it makes much more sense for anyone who plays a custom card that they made, to explain the card to their opponent. That and its easier for both players, and helps keep the duel at a faster pace. But no, you didnt explain your cards, you expect your opponent to know how they work! It is not the opponents job to read your cards, as the player of a card it is your job, just like in the real game, to tell your opponent the effect of the card![/quote:3hulxolh]
I feel that we have already had this conversation before, and I've already posted our conversation and the replay in the forums, so everyone else who has read it already knows about the situation.

[quote="Debt":356drtcf][quote="Darkraiclone":356drtcf]You know, now that it has been brought up, I would say that Eatos actually represents multiple acts of cultural appropriation. Think about it, the card, Guardian Eatos is depicted by a white woman who is clearly appropriating the cultural garments of American Indians, meanwhile the image of the card itself was made in japan in which the artist not only appropriated the American Indian design of the garments but also had them be worn by a white woman. So in a word, the card is essentially appropriationsception and that CrystalMusic's soul card is based around cultural appropriation, meaning that CrystalMusic is either a secret racist or is in support of cultural appropriation.[/quote:356drtcf]

Wait, really?

Looking at Celestial sword Eatos again, I'm wrong. It's a katana blade with either a stylized crossguard and grip from either European longswords or a Chinese Jian. It does have a generic pop depiction of an angel (beautiful winged humanoid with a halo) behind the sword. It's rather patchwork.

She's blatantly a Christian angel as depicted in European art. Actual angels in the Bible, specifically the ones in Eziekiel, were basically nightmare creatures.



I admit I don't know much American Indian myths so there could be something that looks like Eatos given that there were a vast number of tribes each with their own body of myths. But I'm sure whatever artist designed Eatos was pulling from European angels.

ok then what is the personal connection you have with the card? and what is the spiritual connection you have with the card (Other than it speaks to you)[/quote:qeldazww]

it's totally like i didn't say that a card "speaking to me" counted as a personal connection. Grats on the reading btw.[/quote:qeldazww]

looks like u cant read either, i asked whats the personal connection with the card other than it SPEAKS to you?[/quote:qeldazww]

I, Like, Totally can read.
I don't need any other reason. as others have said; A connection can be anything from aesthetics to simply loving the card. Did you make this thread just to put down other's card choice?

Yes, he did.

-_- so uncool

I have quite a few, but Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon is totally an awesome card. It has like, the most awesome-est effect I've ever seen on a machine type monster. I totes need one irl

Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World
While not technically being the leader of the Dark World monsters (that being either Brron or Reign-Beaux), Grapha certainly is the most reliable one (which is a trait I do see in myself), but most importantly, no matter how often Grapha is beaten down, with the help of his allies he will always get back up to fight another day. That's my personal connection to him. Also the fact that I loved the Dark World Archtype ever since they were first released in EEN and when the Structure Deck was released I was finally able to play the deck competitively

Isn't that the point of having a soul card sometimes? Just liking it for more arbitrary reasons like "it looks cool"? Who are you to jusge the reasoning outside of an egomaniac that needs to control everyone?

im not controlling anything! a soul card is defined as a card you have a personal and spiritual connection with. look at why dark magician is yugis soul card. its because its mahad's soul. mahad was young atems guardian. mahad and young atem had a very close connection both in a personal way, and in spirit

yes, you are controlling it. If a person just likes the card, it can be their soul card. Also there is no such thing as a "Soul Card", there is no term for that. So get out of here with your bullshit.

You are gatekeeping. You've shat on several people for entirely arbitrary reasons

then by this logic, Blue eyes shining is my soul card because i connect with it's ability to be immune to most effects....

like bullshit.

Hi! so, i don't know if Representing my Custom Cards as my Soul cards is accepted here, and judging by the previous comment, your view of a soul card is a bit strict, but I like the topic of a Soul Cards. so I'd like to share one, which is one of the very first card i made: Matreiya, The Apocalypse Enlightener.
https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=1118975
the reason:
- He's a male Child; i'm a male and a bit childish, and like to view myself as a child
- In term of ATK/DEF, he's the second weakest Xyz monster in his archetype (the weakest one can switch control card until End Phase); i'm still noob at custom card making, and have some kind of mental dilemma on my own card making skill (My customs wreck player? i thought my card is overpowered, My custom get wrecked? i thought my cards Underpowered.)
- He can search fellow archetype monster; i tried to help people who still new at card making.
- He's a R4nk; my favourite deck at Arc-V tag force special is a R4nk Spam.

Welp, there's my soul card, and also the one i tried to summon when i dueled you. I understand you prefered old ways of Yu-Gi-Oh, but please be calm about it. Also you don't list it in duel note.
PS: Critic and Advice please.

I could have sworn I was one of the first people if not the first person to tell why my soul card was my soul card.
It was because Just like how Vylon Prism has the effect to give up life points to equip it to a monster and aid it in battle, I'm a team player who likes to give up some of my time and energy to help others.

my "soul card" is inferno. not only its a fire monster but mine is one of the first cards i played with but my copy given to me by a friend

My soul card is Tiaramisu because she is immune to powercreep
