Lord Poison

Lord Poison was released in 2004 as part of the Invasion of Chaos set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. This expansion is widely regarded by enthusiasts as one of the most influential sets in the game's history, as it introduced powerful cards that drastically accelerated the pace of play. The set served as a bridge between the early, slower era of the game and the high-speed strategies that would define its competitive future.

The card belongs to the Plant-type lineage of monsters, a category that received significant mechanical support during this period. Illustrated in the characteristic style of the game’s early design team, the card features an otherworldly, botanical entity intended to reflect the set's themes of corruption and chaos. While it remains a common rarity card, it is noted by collectors for its specific role in enabling early synergy-based strategies that relied on graveyard recursion.
