Background on Obelisk the Tormentor
Obelisk the Tormentor, one of the Egyptian God Cards, possesses attack and defense stats of 4000, making it a formidable force in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world. The card allows the player to tribute two monsters to destroy all enemy monsters on the field, reinforcing its status as a legendary card. Originally created by Pegasus based on ancient Egyptian stone tablets, Obelisk remained sealed due to its immense power. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Seto Kaiba ultimately entrusted it to draw out Marik and reclaim the stolen God Cards.
