Lord Poison

Lord Poison was released in 2004 as part of the Invasion of Chaos booster set, a landmark expansion in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game that introduced several powerful archetypes and cards that would shape the competitive landscape for years. The card is a plant-type monster designed to facilitate graveyard interaction, reflecting the set's broader experimentation with mechanics that allowed players to reclaim resources from the discard pile.

The artwork follows the distinct aesthetic established by Konami’s Japanese design team, who utilized a gothic and fantasy-inspired visual language for the Invasion of Chaos series. As a common rarity card, it was widely available to players upon release, serving as a functional utility piece within the game's evolving meta rather than a high-end collector's item. Its reception was largely defined by its utility in specific deck-building strategies centered around plant-type synergy.
