Last but certainly not least.
LPG1-JP005 幻魔の扉 Genma no Tobira (Illusion Gate)
Normal Spell Card
You can only apply the effect of this card’s name once per Duel.
(1) Pay half your LP; destroy as many monsters your opponent controls as possible, then you can Special Summon 1 monster from their GY to your field, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
Note: This card uses the same Genma as in “Phantasmal Martyrs”, “Raviel, Lord of Phantasms” and the term “Sacred Beasts” in Japanese among other things and the card references the Sacred Beasts in its anime text. Just mostly a note of interest.

Good, but not so good nowadays, specially for the LP cut cost
The only LP that matters is the last one.
Maybe use alongside new Morganite?
Since when did yugioh players start caring about LP costs????
JD when dinomorphia was made
Primite is interested in the last 2001 LP
Stop slowplaying.
This is good you moron. Clear opponent’s board then summon mirrorjade or smth similar so it won’t trigger
This gives off Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood vibes
(Gate of Alchemy or Gate of Truth)
Now give me a trap version of this
Weeb.
I love that anime
This card was busted in Tag Force 1.
@Venom- That’s exactly what I was thinking 🤣
Never thought I’d see the day that this card was released.
Nice. This is definitely side deck worthy at least.
If only they keep the anime effect of reducing your LP to 10%
That was from Tagforce. Not anime.
The anime version was free other than the fact you had to sacrifice a soul if you lost.
Doesn’t steal souls literally unplayable
Yeah brah. I wish I could get my hands on the real Seal of Orichalcos. That card is busted as hell. You can literally put ppl in coma with it lol
Damn, i didnt expect this card to ever become real, and even get buffed
Iirc originally this card costed something like 90% of your LP to use, AND it didnt ignore summoning conditions
Again that was not the og effect. Tagforce added those nerfs
No soul stealing effect, definitely nerfed
Now we just need a magical choker card that lets you sacrifice your opponent’s life points instead.
This goes hard. I’m not sure if it will see play but there are always players loving this kind of big, flashy cards. Also lowering your LP has some applications in Dinomorphia etc.
Not Amazoness Arena. I’m sad.
I feel ya, but if not Arena this is the next best thing.
Definitely interesting
I miss the part where you have to sacrifice a soul.
this would have been crazy like 5 years ago
People here really saying nuke plus steal is an “Ok effect”
It’s already crazy to have a card like Raigeki which is destroy everything for no cost legal, this just goes a step beyond.
Anyone who says “Well that’s alright because of X” think for a moment, the cards that make Raigeki alright are already way off the charts and the main things people complain about in this game. Power creeping Raigeki is not a step forward it’s a step backward to print even more powerful cards that come with more effects to cover this sort of thing.
The health of the game relies on an ecosystem of cards, and printing things like this just allows more degeneracy to be printed.
Yes, it could and should be banned, but then we just run into the other problem of print pushed card, get money, ban it, and move on, which is better, but also not good.
Worst of all you could have printed this with a condition that causes you to lose the duel if you fall at X condition. Would have been more balanced and fit in with the flavor from the anime.
people complaing about raigeki? where? I see way more complains on negates, hand traps and even kaijus than mass destruction effects. This card is not that good and won’t make the banlist.
I’ve been waiting for this card for so long!
So, does this “you can only apply this cards effect once per duel” mean if it didn’t fully resolve, you can activate a second one?
I know that if the activation was negated you can use a second copy, but I’m not sure how it interacts if it just has its effect negated and not it’s activation.
U can’t
If you cannot apply the card’s effect due to the card’s activation being negated or the card’s effect being negated, you can activate a second copy. If the destruction part of the card’s effect is able to successfully apply (even if it destroys nothing) or you’re able to successfully destroy a monster and then Special Summon, you cannot activate a second copy
Not at all… When a card says “u can only use this effect once per turn” even if the activation is negated, u can’t activate another copy.
Also if a card says “u can only activate once per turn” if the effect (and not the activation) is negated u can’t activate another copy
“You can only apply this/each effect once per Duel” is different than either of those hard opt wordings. See the database Q&As for The Seventh One, Rainbow Bridge of Salvation, etc
At best it’s a last resort target for Thrust when you go second
Camula’s lethal gate is finally official
Uh the card is slow and once per duel too? cmon man
How the hell is a field nuke and monster steal “slow”? Do you even think about what you’re writing or just babble out random words? Is Raigeki and Monster Reborn “slow”?
Also, this card being once per duel is barely relevant. It’s field nuke and monster steal in one card; 9/10 times after playing this, you just win the duel.
It’s not the best card in the world, but people are heavily underestimating it.
slow is not at all the word I would pick for this thing
Why do you need to play another one? If you didn’t win the duel after playing this, you’re probably really bad at this game.
What did it cost? Just the finest vampire tiddies in the land but listen, Judai did what he had to do. The only awkward thing is that cyber end was returned to the FUSION deck but the text always only mentioned the gy while the oral explanation of the lore mentioned any monster an opponent used.
This looks like a destiny draw card. When you’re about to lose. Destiny draw soundtrack begins
