Jar of Avarice

Jar of Avarice was introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game as a common card in the 2017 Starter Deck: Link Strike, which marked the transition into the Link Summoning era of play. Designed as a strategic utility card, its effect allows players to recycle five cards from their graveyard into the deck, providing a crucial recovery mechanism for long-term resource management in a game that was rapidly increasing in speed.

The visual design features the iconic Pot of Avarice character, a recurring mascot in the game's iconography, reimagined as a literal jar being filled. The illustration follows the whimsical yet slightly unsettling aesthetic established by the classic Pot cards, intended to evoke a sense of desperate retrieval. Upon release, it was well-received by players for its versatility, serving as a staple defensive option that rewarded careful deck building and graveyard manipulation.
