The first Yu-Gi-Oh set release of 2024, Maze of Millennia is pretty exciting, as it is bringing some very famous cards into the game for the first time!
Hang on, I hear you say; if these cards are so famous, how come they’ve not actually been featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game before?
Well, that’s because they initially featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, despite not being ‘real’ cards from the game.
In the case of the Eye of Illusion card, its history goes as far back as the second episode of the original Yu-Gi-Oh anime series, which originally aired way back at the turn of the 21st century.
So what other cards can you find in the Maze of Millennia set?

What’s So Special About Eye Of Illusion?
As mentioned above, Eye of Illusion made an appearance in the second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh.
In the episode, the evil Maximillion Pegasus uses Eye of Illusion to place series protagonist Yugi into a television – keeping him away as he steals Yugi’s grandfather’s soul.
To add to the card’s mystique and power even further, it seems that the Eye of Illusion has many more tricks up its sleeve, as Pegasus goes on to control Yugi’s Dark Magician with it!
Of course, these effects aren’t necessarily the easiest to replicate within the game itself, so it’s hardly surprising that it’s taken so long for Eye of Illusion to make it into tangible, physical form in the real world.
The card text on Eye of Illusion reads as follows:
If you control an Illusion or Spellcaster monster: Activate 1 of these effects;
● Your Illusion and Spellcaster monsters cannot be destroyed by battle this turn.
● During your opponent’s turn: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of it until the End Phase.
● When an opponent’s monster declares an attack: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, except the attacking monster; change the attack target to it and perform damage calculation.
It’s powerful and does allow its owner to take control of an opponent’s character, but sadly there’s no way to remove your opponent from the game and place them inside a television.
Though there are more anime-originated cards in Maze of Millennia, there’s also plenty of reprints too; in fact, all cards from MZM-040 onwards are reprints of cards previously seen in the game!
