In a world of friendship, magic, and card games, Twilight Sparkle and all her friends will face off against some the world's most dangerous opponents to decide the fate of the world. The game? Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapters (16)

I like me some Yu-gi-oh (just not Konami)...you have my attention.

Here's a fav and this in good faith :moustache:

Nice first chapter, loved the show when I was a kid and still watch the newer ones today. I want to see where you go with this.

Hmm, not sure if I'm going to see the expected scene from this intro. :derpytongue2:
Twilight: What kind of idiot bets their soul on a card game?!
Rainbow Dash: Deal me in!
Twilight: *facehoofs*
:pinkiecrazy::trollestia::facehoof:

Man, this takes me back, ha ha! This was really good. I liked how you separated text with names and life points, very cool!

Seems interesting.

Will Synchros, Xyz, and Pendulums be included, however? It's best to do that.

Also, silly Diana; everyone knows you don't want to overextend in heavily resource-intensive formats, like Goat Format or Bujin Format.

Well done not everyday I read a good Yugioh crossover.

Not bad for a first chapter. Looking forward to what else you have in store. Still, interesting to see how Tia duels and how her opponent reacted. Overall, looking forward to more.

I have faith in this. It's got potential and it's well written. Accept this like and fave as a token of my appreciation.:moustache:

If this doesn't include quotes from YGO:TAS I'll be somewhat disappointed. :)

"I've won ten star chips. In Equestria!"
"The Great and Powerful Trixie is inviting you to enter the castle."
"Don't mind if I do! ... Man, that mare sure likes talking about her name."
"Man, that mare sure likes talking about Equestria."

A quick and easy way to use United We Stand is to use Scapegoat since Token Monsters are still considered monsters and it would increase a monster's attack by 3200 points.

I honestly didn't know what I was expecting Pinkie's deck to be. :derpytongue2:
But that was beautiful.

Definitely keeping an eye on this story! :pinkiehappy:

Interesting so far. Though, the cards revealed so far still beg the question: will there be Synchro, Xyz, and/or Pendulum monsters in the story? I mean, it would make sense. After all, Twilight's deck seems to revolve around Spell Counters and there's no less than 3 Spell Counter-based Synchro monsters. RD will probably use some aerial based deck which immediately brings to mind Blackwings, Harpies, Raid Raptors, or Mecha Phantom Beasts, all of which feature Extra Deck monsters. And Fluttershy/Applejack could use Sylvans/Naturias.

Anyway, whatever, the story's good and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

I hope that if Trixie appears that she has a Dark Magician deck. That would be pretty cool.

Seems good, but I'm not that big on Yu-Gi-Oh. Personally, I would prefer it if you worked on more chapters of Celestia's Rocket Adventures or Empire and Rebellion. Both of those are amazing fics already.

So well written, and when Pinkie started playing toons, I IMMEDIATELY searched for the toon theme song to listen to while I read!

6614711 no Fluttershy has got to use Gladiator Beasts, there animals and they are ferocious enough to portray her monsterus temper.

I get that this is based of GX but small things like drawing for the first turn which is no longer allowed bug me, I'm pretty sure I know the answer but are you going to be following more modern rules in later chapters or just stick with the GX anime rules?

6614699 Neither did I. But now I can't imagine it being anything else. Funny how that works, huh?

6616158

Yep. :pinkiesmile:

Just like how another author gave Rainbow Dash a Crystal Beast deck, (Complete with Rainbow Dragon) and I can't imagine anything else for her either, now.

That Author has used Celestia, Luna, Twi, Spike, Rarity, and Rainbow so far. It'll be interesting to see how much this author's vision aligns with the others- So far, Twilight's deck is similar, but Celestia's isn't.

Pinkie hasn't dueled in that story, but I can't see anything but toons now. :derpytongue2:

I'm especially curious about Applejack... I'm having trouble envisioning her as a duelist.

6614988

It was linked in the story! :rainbowwild:

I don't think this is what I'm thinking of. But if this was a crossover with the Pharaoh from the original manga (issues 1-7) it would be amazing.

Let's do it like in the anime and just pull rules outta our plots.

Pharaoh: "Wait, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?"
Kaiba: "I did, so?"
Pharaoh: "But that's against the rules!"
Kaiba: "Screw the rules, i have money!"

Oh YuGiOh abriged, you make my day....

Love this and I like how you referenced the source materials.:pinkiehappy:

Is this a Human in Equestria story, or are there only anthro ponys?

"It was nice to have opponents that didn’t curse or weep when she won." Rainbow Dash next, hmm?

I am under the distinct impression that each of the Humane 6 will have some of the most difficult decks in the Yu-Gi-Oh-verse. I am not complaining just letting my thoughts be known.

And then Applejack made Twilight duel every one of her relatives, and they were too distracted to stop Nightmare Moon, the end.

Dan, now that's a sweet chapter. We've got some great duels going right now and I'm excited to see what the other members of the mane 6 will play. Keep goin and stay golden^^

If it wasn't for the fact that you are doing the 4k life point atyle I would be asking when the red and black alicorn oc with a magical scientist deck would be showing up. :trollestia:

Oh wow, an all-defense flip effect deck for AJ? Sounds about right. I like how it works! Can't wait to see what you've come up with for my favorite pony, even if Twilight's probably going to win.

I'd say it's about a 75-25 between whether she'll be sore or think it was awesome enough to enjoy anyway. :rainbowwild:

AppleJack must have one of my favorite cards from my old deck in hers. Man I loved that Sphinx.

Does it go against AJ's element to keep her cards a secret? Like if Twilight asked her "what card did you just play face down?" she'd have to answer

6618533 In what universe does "honest" mean "lawful stupid?" 'Cause it sure doesn't in Equestria.

6618999 I dunno... I was joking before, but now that i think about it, I'd love to see an "honest" deck that specializes in exposing hidden cards. There's Convulsion of Nature that makes the top card of each player's deck visible, Light of Intervention, which prevents monsters from being face down, Ceremonial Bell, which forces both players to keep their hands visible; there's probably others, but I've been out of the game for a long time that I don't know of any. You combo those with cards that involve guessing your opponent's hand, graveyard, and fusion deck for a major advantage.

I'll admit, I had Applejack pegged for a plant type duelest, so this was a surprise. Let's see if I can guess what the others will be using for decks.

Rainbow Dash - Synchros, and monsters like speed warrior, rapid warrior, nitro synchron, turbo synchron, jet synchron, and so on.
Rarity - Gem Knights or Noble Knights.
Fluttershy - Crystal beasts.
Luna - Somehow I see her using Prophecy monsters.
Gilda - Harpies.
Trixie - Rituals or Performapals.
Spike - Red Eyes.
Zecora - XYZ monsters, rare and unusual.
Applebloom - Naturia.
Sweetie Belle - Melodious monsters, or Djinn XYZ.
Scootaloo - Machines.

:twilightsheepish: "What card did you just play face-down?"

:ajbemused:: "I ain't tellin' you."

Perfectly honest answer.

Well, a good defense is the ground for a good offense as they said. I can honestly say that I never expected AJ to use a deck like this but it fits her. Looking forward to read the rest :)

I imagine Zecora will run a Gravekeeper's deck

Twilight will be a good duelist with her organized and meticulous mind. Strategies will come easy to her.

As for Diana, what sort of awful experiences did she have that made her so nasty?

Is Celestia supposed to be like Max Pegasus? She does have her mane covering one eye quite a bit. Perhaps its hiding the Eye of Millennium Eye or something similar?

I wonder what, if any, sort of decks other characters will use? Something that fits their character in some way?

Fluttershy: Beasts/Beast-Warrior
Rarity: Gem-Knight
Rainbow Dash: Winged Beast
Applejack: Warriors
Pinkie Pie: A variety of different cards/her favorites

Twilight jumped back a step as a blonde-haired young woman rode a decent-sized brown horse about a track not far from the barn.

I know this is an AU fic, but the irony here is just hilarious. :rainbowlaugh:

Have to say, the Toon Deck, perfect fir for Pinkie Pie :pinkiehappy: I should imagine that Fluttershy has a beast / beast warrior deck or something?

Whoa, a Red-Eyes Deck for Rainbow Dash, and I'm calling it now! Twilight has a Dark Paladin in her Fusion/Synchro Deck! THat's the only reason she'd have Buster Blader!

This has just gotten good.

Great duel! A dragon deck for Rainbow Dash was unexpected, but unexpected is always welcome. I can't wait to see what else happens.
