I thought it banished all of his cards until I looked at the effect. I don't know his entire deck by heart but I do know he had Card of Sanctity in his deck and I don't believe he drew it yet. Marik drew his copy of it but Yugi didn't draw his copy. With at least 1 card left in his deck, he would draw for turn and then attack for game.

Something glossed over a little is a certain symbolism! In the original Japanese version, Monster Reborn is named "Resurrection of the Dead" which takes on an extra meaning here and later in the series. Marik using it to bring back a God over and over again is essentially him defiling the grave, and by extension a grotesque defiance of his family's past as Gravekeepers - perfectly in line with Yami Marik's personality. Banishing Ra prevents Marik from defiling the grave further, and Original Marik returns, 'bows' to the pharaoh by surrendering, and proceeds to share the Gravekeepers' secrets. This is expanded in the final duel against Yugi (where he effectively denies Atem's stay in the land of the living by blocking the use of Monster Reborn.)

Not only that, but in terms of him talking about the metal fiend token, that costs him lifepoints. The Pharaoh had to make a hard call towards the end (I forget when honestly I'm due for a rewatch lol) and he and Yugi look at each other and talk about it. Atem realized there was no other way out-he HAD to keep the fiend on the field to save his lifepoints as a whole otherwise he'd be wide open for attack. BUT again that would cost not Atem, but Yugi. And that was something that Atem strived to not go for; he wouldn't let Yugi suffer if he couldn't help it. I think that's in part largely, why Atem wouldn't bring up more tokens earlier. It meant Yugi would suffer. GOD this duel is so good the mind games and everything mmm. I love it when anyone can screw with Atem's head cause he's always so sure of himself. Nice to see cracks in the foundation sometimes.

Mai vs Atem, with Atem literally beating her, AGAIN, due to *cough* chea-, I mean plot armor. Ishizu vs Jonouchi, Ishizu wins easily by seeing the future. So, the only final four that'd make logical sense would be, Atem, because Atem vs Seto Kiba HAS to happen, as it was foreseen by Ishizu, 'cus "destiny". And Ishizu vs Malik, where I think she put up a good fight, but would eventually lose due to Dark Malik's guilt-tripping shenanigans, psychologically manipulating Ishizu into losing by scapegoating her brother as a last ditch resort.

A lot of them have been remade modernized actually. That God Slime is a real card you can use now. Sadly a lot of his deck consists of deus ex machina. For example Blood Sucking Leech, Class System, the lizard that gives him 1000 LP per turn. Marik's deck actually really sucks if you analyze it. Ra hard carries him, and not in a "deck built around Ra" way either.

Play wise this is one of the cleanest duels in the any yugioh series ever. The part about the fiend tokens can technically be swept under the rug since yugi didn't exactly know marik had metal reflect slime set, and furthermore he didn't know what metal reflect slime did anyway. Combine this with how marik had 0 monsters on his field I wouldn't call that a misplay since yugi didn't know. The only thing that even can remotely be considered a misplay is when yugi attacked with DMG instead of Obelisk. That's literally the only part that I'd consider a misplay.

The real and more brutal answer is this: If you screw with a shadow game's rules, you are subjected to a *harsh* penalty, instigator or not.

It wasn’t. He stopped using Shadow Games after Pegasus revealed that the Millennium Items had an evil intelligence, which implied Yami was evil since he came out of the Millennium Puzzle. To prove Pegasus wrong, he never used Shadows Games again. For some reason, DM skipped this so Yami not using a Shadow Game again is never explained. The dub somewhat fixed this, funny enough, by making Yugi the one forcing Yami to not use Shadow Games after he nearly killed Kaiba.
