This is the card list for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. The publisher runs its own card database, and every card it holds is indexed here — 14019 cards — with the artwork the publisher has published for each, plus its card category, attribute, Type line, Level or Rank, ATK and DEF, and its own printed text.
The list is one of the largest on this site, so it is split by attribute. Each part below is a page in its own right, and every card in it carries its own tile. For how the game works rather than the cards — the summoning methods, the rarity treatments, what is printed where on a card — start at the Yu-Gi-Oh! card index.
14019 of the 14019 cards have working artwork. Where the publisher’s own entry carries no card image, the tile says so instead of showing a placeholder. No prices appear anywhere in this index. Rarity is not shown, because in this game rarity belongs to a printing rather than to a card, and the publisher’s card database does not carry it per card.

| LIGHT | 1931 |
| EARTH | 2019 |
| WATER | 915 |
| FIRE | 811 |

| Limited | 95 |
| Semi-limited | 8 |
| No longer on list | 10 |
| Not on the list | 13784 |
How to read this list
Each tile is one card. The mark on the left is the card’s Level, Rank or Link rating as the publisher prints it — 4 for a Level 4, R4 for a Rank 4, L2 for a Link 2, and S or T for a Spell or a Trap, which have neither. The coloured dot is the card’s attribute, and the name beside it is the name printed on the card. Hover a tile, or focus it with the keyboard, and the panel gives the card’s artwork, its card category, its attribute, its Type line, its Level or Rank, its ATK and DEF where it has them, and the card’s own printed text.
The cards are grouped by attribute, and within an attribute they run in alphabetical order of name. Attribute is a property of the card itself, so a card appears here once. Rarity is deliberately not shown: rarity in this game belongs to a printing, not to a card, and the publisher’s own card database does not carry it per card. Where a card exists in several rarities, those are printings of the same card, and the card is listed once.
Frequently asked questions
How many Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are there?
The publisher’s own card database is the source here, and its own result count for the whole database is 14,019 cards. Every one of them is indexed on this site, across 17 attribute pages. The count moves every time a set is added, so the numbers on this page are the numbers the database held when this index was last built rather than a fixed figure.
Why is the list split by attribute?
Because it is 14019 cards, and because attribute is a property of the card itself rather than of a printing. A single page carrying a tile for every one of them would be several megabytes of markup, which is slow to load and worse to read. Splitting by attribute keeps each page to one meaningful run of cards, and the table above lists every part with its count.
Why do some cards have no picture?
Because the publisher has not published workable artwork for that card in its database. Most cards carry an image, and where the publisher’s own entry returns no image the tile says so rather than showing a placeholder. The card is still listed, because it is a card.
Why is there no rarity here?
Because rarity in this game is a property of a printing, not of a card. The publisher’s card database indexes cards; its card records carry attribute, Type, Level, ATK and DEF rather than a rarity. One card can exist as a Common and as a Ghost Rare, and those are two printings of the same card. The index therefore shows attribute on its tiles, and the rarity treatments are explained in the articles linked above.
Does this index list prices?
No. It lists cards, not prices. Everything here is taken from the publisher’s own card database; nothing is estimated and nothing is quoted.
