Category:	God

God is a race of creature that is shared between all 5 civilizations.

Gameplay

A creature with the God race will always feature the God Link keyword. This ability allows 2 or more creatures with this race to link together and form a single creature that combines each of its card characteristics, such as races, power and abilities together.

Gods can also be easily identified due to the card frame "spilling" out of the usual border towards the side where the God can be linked. Linking the other specified God will usually result in both Gods forming one larger picture with the "spill-over" artwork.

Most Gods can only link through either their left or right side, while others can link through both sides, forming an eventual 1x3 formation.

In later cases starting with DM-27 Perfect Heaven, combinations of Gods can link on all 3 sides (top or bottom, left and right) in such a way that they form a 2x2 formation or even a 2x3 by DM-35 Neverending Saga.

While they stopped being printed in booster packs after DM-35, they later reappeared in DMR-09 Rage vs God as the God Nova race with easier linking capabilities by not requiring specific creatures.

God Nova OMG then later appeared in DMR-11 Ultra Victory Master and DMD-14 Super Deck Omega: Treasures of Pure Wicked God and Izumo's Counterattack.

Rulings

As you put a God in the battle zone, and you have a God with the specified card name or corresponding God Link ability in the battle zone, you may choose to link them.
- Otherwise, you can't link God creatures together except through other card effects.
Similar to evolution creatures, linked Gods don't get summoning sickness and can attack immediately, even if each of the linked Gods are put into the battle zone during that same turn.
Some Gods have a Trigger Ability that occurs when they are linked, while others have a Static Ability that occurs while they are linked to another creature.
Once linked together, the Gods are considered to be a single creature, with their costs, names, races, power, civilizations and abilities all combined.
- This also means that when Gods 2 or more of different civilizations are linked, the resulting creature is multicolored.
When a linked God attacks, all of the linked Gods tap.
When a linked God would leave the battle zone, the God's owner can choose which card of the link leaves the battle zone.
When you evolve a linked God, all parts of the creature count as the Evolution Source, and when the top card of the evolution stack leaves the battle zone, each of the Gods are linked again.
A linked god creature only destroys a single shield, unless one of the Gods has a Breaker keyword or static ability that gives a Breaker keyword while linked.

Other Meanings

Save for the above creature type, some creatures are known as Gods by name, or have powers close to those of Gods by the literal sense. These include:

Armored Dragons, who were worshipped by Dragonoids as gods at ancient times;
Ultimate Galaxy Universe, the very stage that the Duel Masters world takes place;
Creators, a type of God without the God Link keyword;
Zeniths, Beings of nothingness who seek to transform the world in their own favor and whose power can only be considered ungodly (And are worshipped by Oracles as Elder Gods);
Oraclions, false gods controlled by the God Nova and which the Oracles worship;
The Ruling Dragons in Dragon Saga led by Dorago the Great, Dragon World, being able to defeat even Zeniths easily;
G.O.D., Extreme Invasion, a Light Invader who is known as an existence close to God;
Forbidden Creatures, whose power are similar in class to zeniths and whose existence brings forth unbelievably catastrophic effects;
Evolution Demon Commands who were known as the "God of Devils" in a literal sense and whose dark powers are almost godlike;
- Tyrant Black Monarch, whose extreme powers can easily cause the end of the world;
Evolution Angel Commands who are known as "Lord of Spirits" and have powers similar to those of Gods (In the literal sense);
- Sapphire Wisdom, the shady creator of the Heaven's Gate;
Jokers, beings of unknown nature who suddenly appeared in the middle of the reborn creature world.
