Game mechanics
When a duelist has at least one copy of all 1,108 cards, they can choose to ignore the Limited List. However, the stronger duelists don't follow the Limited list either. For example, Simon the Exodia duelist has three of each of the (UTC)Exodia parts in his deck, where normally a player may only have one. The AI is rather poor: if a player has a face-down monster with 2000 defence points, and the AI opponent has a monster with 1900 attack points, they will not attack as they "know" they cannot defeat the face-down monster. As well, an AI opponent will Tribute Summon as soon as possible, even tributing 1 monster to summon exactly the same monster, or even a weaker monster than the original. Stronger duelists often have high requirements to be "unlocked" (available to duel): the final duelists in the game require the player have at least fifteen more wins than losses against every other duelist in the game.Sequel
