Seto Kaiba ' s Decks Kaiba mainly runs Decks that centralize on a beatdown strategy to aggressively overwhelm his opponents with high ATK monsters . During the first several arcs of the Yu - Gi - Oh anime , his Deck is composed of vicious - looking monsters , with most of them being DARK Fiend - Type . The Spells and Traps in his Deck normally serve to disrupt and counter any strategies his opponents would use . His monster lineup is spearheaded by his signature card , " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " and its Fusion form , " Blue - Eyes Ultimate Dragon " . In the later arcs , he incorporates " Virus " Trap Cards such as " Giant Germ " , " Crush Card " , and " Virus Cannon " that give it the traits of a Virus Control Deck and swarm Deck , destroying all monsters in his opponent ' s Deck with more than 1500 ATK , further crippling their ability to defend against him . As the series evolves , Kaiba ' s switches his focus towards Dragon - Type monsters . His later Decks incorporate an array of Dragon and Dragon - Type support cards such as " Spear Dragon " , " Luster Dragon # 2 " , Different Dimension Dragon " , " Paladin of White Dragon " , and " Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End " while still maintaining " Blue Eyes White Dragon " and " Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon " as his most aggressive boss monsters .
