Divination is perfectly legal within all of MTG’s formats. In Magic: The Gathering, for example, the sorcery card Divination allows you to draw two cards. In many trading card games, there are cards that have similar effects. By all accounts, this card is incredibly boring. Pot of Greed allows you to draw two cards. So, what is the Pot of Greed? Why was it banned? What has made it so notorious? And how did Konami reinvent Pot of Greed to become its own archetype of card?įirst, we must ask the obvious question: what does Pot of Greed do? Pot of Greed is a card emblematic of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and has subsequently been woven into the very fabric of the game and its multiple spin-offs. Not Yugi Moto’s beloved Dark Magician, not even Seto Kaiba’s imposing Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Yet, even with all this innovation and development, one card still stands out as the game’s most infamous. This is thanks to Konami’s relentless drive to push the game forward with merchandising deals, tournaments and spin-off anime, as well as producing over 10,000 cards and multiple new in-game mechanics. Within the last 25 years Yu-Gi-Oh! has developed and grown to become one of the most popular card games on the planet.
