Are The God Cards stronger than Number Cards?


In Yu-Gi-Oh God Cards posses almost "un-godly" power, but are The God Cards
stronger than Number Cards and are they and will they always be the most
powerful cards in Yu-Gi-Oh.




In terms of the anime, the God Cards have been made weaker due to new
mechanics added to the game. At the end of the original series, Yugi was able
to defeat all 3 at once. I should also point out that Exodia under the rules
of the anime, if assembled will win even if the opponent has 2 of Obelisk and
Slifer, one of Ra and has infinite hand in play. Also, Exodia Necross is about
as strong as a god card as well.

Also in the anime, at the times where a good guy had the God Cards and could
use them to defeat an arch enemy, the God Cards had always been stolen. In the
Orichalcos Arc, they were stolen and only come back at the very end while Yami
Bakura's "Shadow Game" was not what we was expecting as the final fight
between him and Atem

However, in terms of the real life game, the first versions of the cards are
illegal and can not be played. Legal versions have been released however are
still banned from all sanctioned tournaments. One can duel with the legal god
cards, however, most players will have strict conditions and I very much doubt
that even if a player allowed to have all 3, they won't be allowed Horakhty.

That being said they can be stopped, none of them can be special summoned so
you can aim to stop the tributes.

  * Slither's attack depends on the number of cards in a users hand, which means it can be 0 if the hand is empty, so you just need a monster with at least 2001 ATK to kill it.
  * Obelisk can destroy all monsters but requires tributes of a set ATK and DEF of 4k, which means it can be killed by monsters like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
  * Ra's power comes from the user's life points so it can be destroyed if the user is low on them or a direct attack on the user if they use Ra's full power will win.

Also each of the God Cards have been defeated in the anime despite strategies
being implemented to make them all powerful. The means to defeat them was
created with pre-GX, 5Ds and Zexal cards in mind so they can probably be
defeated much more easily now. If the God Cards were to make an appearance
within an anime again and becomes all powerful, they will be used a tributes
for new stronger versions (kinda like Horakhty). However, given predictable
plot they can still be defeated, and by understanding a character's strategy
these can be done in real life.

In Yu-Gi-Oh or Dual Monsters in general, there is no such thing as a card
always being powerful. Each card is strong but has it's weaknesses and can be
defeated with a proper strategy. Anything that is "all powerful" in the anime
will never be used in sanctioned tournaments, and most players will disallow
opponents to use them as well, especially if one is playing with a tournament
rule deck.
