The strongest cards in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! are the Egyptian God cards, legendary monsters that hold power that few could even dream of. They’re garbage in the real competitive game, but that’s not why we’re here, is it?

As the cards are so iconic among the community, they’ve all received two reprints with alternate artwork. All of the artwork has very different vibes to them, some of which rise to the top, and others that don’t come close to their counterparts.

9 Obelisk The Tormentor No. 1

The original artwork for each of the Egyptian God cards are the most iconic, but Obelisk’s original is its worst, hands down. Look at that face, it looks horrible. And the strange fade out at the bottom of the body, the weird chest area, it doesn’t strike fear into the eyes of its viewer, which Obelisk is meant to do. Overall, it doesn’t have the grandiose nature that an Egyptian God card should. It’s underwhelming.

8 The Winged Dragon Of Ra No. 2

The second series of the Egyptian God artwork is underwhelming. The art style works for some, but certainly not for The Winged Dragon of Ra. This art doesn’t service what is supposed to be the most powerful creature in all of Duel Monsters, it just looks boring.

Why is there no background, either? At the very least, this art might look a bit better if Ra was flying through the sky. A sense of scale would perhaps make it seem larger than it currently does in this artwork.

7 The Winged Dragon Of Ra No. 1

The Winged Dragon of Ra’s original artwork is better than Obelisk’s, but it still doesn’t take a higher spot out of all of the art. The main problem with Ra’s original artwork is those little legs. What is going on there? Why are The Winged Dragon of Ra’s legs so baby? The scale of its body just doesn’t make all that much sense in the grand scheme of things with this artwork, which leads to it occupying a lower spot on the list.

6 Obelisk The Tormentor No. 2

Obelisk The Tormentor’s second artwork does a lot better of a job at making the monster seem like a threat. It’s more imposing than the original, and the extra flair on its chest and… hat… adorn it in a way that makes it look really interesting. While it is a bit of a shame that Obelisk the Tormentor’s second artwork doesn’t feature any sort of background, the art itself is still overall strong enough on its own.

5 Slifer The Sky Dragon No. 1

Slifer the Sky Dragon takes the top spot when it comes to the Egyptian Gods’ first art set, the most iconic of the three. Slifer the Sky Dragon’s first artwork doesn’t do anything poorly, and both Obelisk The Tormentor and The Winged Dragon of Ra have aspects of their first artwork that don’t do them justice. Slifer the Sky Dragon looks great in this style, earning it this spot on the list.

4 Slifer The Sky Dragon No. 2

Slifer The Sky Dragon’s second artwork is the best of the set as well because it looks like the most threatening and powerful of the bunch, none of the others even come close to Slifer.

Beyond how Slifer looks, the other two monsters don’t even have a background in this art set, and Slifer is set against a looming storm, which adds to the overall mood of the art. Slifer The Sky Dragon’s second artwork looks great.

3 The Winged Dragon Of Ra No. 3

The Winged Dragon of Ra’s third artwork is absolutely phenomenal. It is standing in a vortex of fire, and for the first time, Ra’s limitless power is finally realized in its art. It looks like a powerful, menacing being that could destroy an entire city with little effort, and that is how Ra should look. This artwork speaks for itself, it’s just stunning.

2 Obelisk The Tormentor No. 3

Obelisk The Tormentor’s third artwork looks amazing too. In it, Obelisk looks as if it is destroying the very ground it is standing upon, and the thundery background contrasts with its darker body incredibly well. Obelisk also keeps the flourishes that it was given in its second artwork, indicating a great attention to detail with this specific piece of art. While this Obelisk artwork is fantastic and does a good job of highlighting the creature’s power, it doesn’t take the top spot on the list.

1 Slifer The Sky Dragon No. 3

Slifer The Sky Dragon has the best of artwork in all three sets that the Egyptian God Cards have received so far, and the newest set’s take on the dragon is absolutely breathtaking. One thing that the artwork does incredibly well is to highlight the dragon’s massive scale, as it is looming over the duelist holding the card in a position of power. Slifer The Sky Dragon is also set against a stunning bright yellow storm in this artwork, which contrasts with the dragon’s red body beautifully. This artwork does everything right. Every single detail included brings something new to the table. All in all, Slifer The Sky Dragon looks amazing in this artwork, and it takes the top spot on this list for that reason.
