Starter decks
Depending on the name used at the start of the game,
you will get a different type of starter deck. Try names such
as "Konami", "Rod", or "Puzzle".
Enter the names "Kaiba" or "Scale" and choose the monster
with highest number (on the left) to get a Kaiser Dragon (2300/2000).
Look on the back of PlayStation2 game cases. Look carefully to
find sponsor names. Use those names as your name to get different
cards. Not all names will work. Also, use the names of consoles
such as "Nintendo". Leave out the numbers.
When starting the game, enter "Katsuya" as a name and choose
Fairy King Truesdale as your deck leader. Your deck will be packed
with insect and plant monsters such as two Hercules Beetles, a
Kwagar Hercules, a Needle Worm, and a Great Mammoth Of Goldfine.
Side with the Lancastrians (Red Rose) and duel Weevil at Chester.
There is a good chance that you will win.
Enter "Flame" as a name. This should show one of the starter
decks with the deck leader Robotic Knight. Select this deck. This
decks is powerful because it is full of machines, includes Wasteland
(powers up all machines and allows them to move two spaces), and
the machines will never have an attack lower than 1500.

Improved odds in Graveyard Slots
Copy Cat, Mimicat, and Monster Reborn allow you to
manipulate the content of your opponent's Graveyard and help narrow
down it down for the Graveyard Slots (revived cards go to the
reviver's Graveyard when destroyed). Paralyzing Potion is another
effective way to get monsters out of the way without sending them
to the Graveyard, thus improving your odds in the Graveyard Slots.
This trick can only be used when there is only one monster in
the Graveyard possible of getting, as when you use the "Edit
Map" trick. When using the slot machine, you can see the
arrows on the side. As you can see, they are usually blinking.
When they disappear, the card is on the other side of the slot.
You can use this to your advantage.
Place the needed card in your deck and destroy it in a custom
battle (for example, Komori Dragon for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon
or Dark Magician for the Dark Magician Girl). It may be helpful
to place more than one card in the deck for higher chances of
getting the desired card.
Note: This trick requires a monster with the Hidden Find ability.
This will only work with magic cards. It is recommended you try
this after you have completed both sides. First, get a monster
(such as Pumpking) ranked high enough to where it gains the Hidden
Find ability. Then, play against Shadi and move your deck leader
to the exact center square. A screen will appear, stating that
you have found the hidden treasure, Souleater. Finish the duel,
or if you are in a hurry, surrender. Go to "Custom Duel".
Next, put Souleater in your deck, and three of any magic card
(such as Silver Bow And Arrow, Beast Fangs, etc.). Start a custom
battle, and go through the deck until you come across Souleater.
Place it in face-up defense. This will activate its special skill.
Next, play any high level monster onto the field and have it attack
your opponent's defense position monsters. Wipe them off the field.
Make sure you do not attack any offensive monsters or the deck
leader until the opponent has played the three magic cards from
his deck and gotten them into his graveyard. Once the three magic
cards are in his graveyard, go after the deck leader and wipe
out its LP to win the duel. When you now go into the Graveyard
Slots, there will just be the three magic cards in it. This is
also useful in getting more immortal monsters and possibly even
some unique rares.
Build a deck with rare cards that do not appear in slots such
as Exodia pieces, Barrel Dragons, etc. Also, some magic and trap
cards do not appear in the slots. Next, put in as many of the
card that you want to try to get three in a row in the deck, such
as Swordstalker, Piercing Light, Red Eyes Black Dragon, etc. Then,
go to custom duel and duel yourself. All that should be in the
slots are the three non-rare cards. Try using Swordstalker as
the leader, Brigidier, because he has three chances and have three
of him in the slots. You will get about four to five trap cards
and four Swordstalkers in the slots.
Get Souleater. Mass combo cards until you draw it, then use its
ability to rid the graveyard of all but the card you want in the
slots. Be sure to put three of the magic card in your deck. Be
patient with it, but in the long run, it is well worth the time.
New card picture
Any time that you gain a card through lining up three
of a kind in the Graveyard Slots, you will get a new picture for
that card in your chest. Some examples include: Blue Eyes White
Dragon, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Summoned Skull, Gemini Elf, and
Flame Swordsman.
Ritual monsters
When using the Graveyard Slot machine after battle,
get three cards that are required to get a ritual monster. If
you do, you will get that ritual monster as well as the three
cards. For example, win against Bones at Exeter and in the Graveyard
Slots, get any Insect, Machine, and Zombie monster. Note: The
cards only appear in the slots if they are used in battle; duel
against opponents that have ritual cards.
Barrel Dragon: Reincarnation
If you reincarnate Barrel Dragon, you will get three
tough creatures or nice magics (for example, Sagna Of Thunder,
Kazejin, Suijin, KaiserDragon, Harpies Pet Dragon, Skull Knight,
Ryu-Ran, Coldwave, Solomans Lawbook, and Tremendous Fire).
Blue Eyes or a Dark Magician Girl
You must either have a Dark Magician or a Red Eyes
as a leader and have completed both the Red and White Rose chapters
to unlock the edit map for the custom duel. If you what a Magician
Girl, your leader must be the Dark Magician; Red Eyes for Blue
Eyes. Then go to the "Edit Map" option at the custom
duel selection. Then, build the following terrain, where "N"
indicates normal and "L" indicates labyrinth.
N N L N L N N
N N L L L N N
N N N N N N N
N N N N N N N
N N N N N N N
N N N N N N N
Battle at that terrain. When you begin, press [Start]. When
it is your opponent's turn, he will surrender. When you get to
the Graveyard Slot part, get three Dark Magicians or three Red
Eyes to get the Magician Girl or the Blue Eyes. You can also use
this terrain to get your deck leader a promotion.
Curse Of Dragon
If you do not have Zombie Warrrior, fuse Monster Egg
with Fiend's Hand. Then, fuse Zombie Warrior with Meteor Dragon
to get Curse Of Dragon.
Cyber Commander: Reincarnation
To obtain Exodia's Left Leg, reincarnate Cyber Commander.
This may require a few turns.
Dark Magician: Hidden ability
If you can raise the Dark Magician ranking to Major
(star with the stripe), you will be able to perform the same extra
slot try just as the Robot Knight.
Exodia: Summoning
To pull off an instant victory with Exodia, you must
have Exodia The Forbidden One as your deck leader. Any deck leader
status will do. During your turns, you must place the four pieces
of Exodia in the correct spaces (Left Leg, Right Leg, Left Arm,
Head, and Right Arm). The deck leader can be placed in between
the arms or legs. All four pieces must be face up. Once all this
has been accomplished, the game will give your opponent one last
chance to stop you. On your next turn, the summon will engage.
To obtain all of the pieces, you must use passwords, reincarnations,
and line up slot rares. To get the Head and Left Arm, use the
passwords. To get the Left and Right Legs, reincarnate. The best
cards to reincarnate are those around a deck cost of 20. To get
the final piece, the Right Arm, you must line up three cards in
the slots. The best cards to line up are Cocoons of Evolution,
which appear when you duel Weevil.
Flame Swordsman: Reincarnation
Reincarnate a Flame Swordsman to get a Labyrinth Wall.
You can also get a Skull Knight.
Manga-Ryu Ran: Reincarnation
If you reincarnate Pegasus's Manga-Ryu Ran, you will
get some kind of ritual stop card (useful for stopping the Ultimate
Dragon Ritual), Tremendous Fire, and the rare card Skull Knight.
Millennium Shield: Strong attack
You first need to have the Curse of the Millennium
Ritual and three monsters over 2000 DEF. When you summon the Millennium
Shield, make sure you have a Shield And Sword Magic card so that
you can switch out the shield's defense to its attack, giving
it a 4000 ATK.
Mystical Elf: Hidden ability
Promote Mystical Elf to RADM, and all three lines will
be available in the Graveyard Slots. This is very useful when
trying to get those tricky rares.
