Because it is. There's that Exodia player in the Battle City arc that marked his cards so he'd know if was getting an Exodia piece or not, for example.
Which unfortunately makes less sense than "He painted his own Exodia cards and was cheating that way".
That guy with the face
There was also Arkana, who trimmed the edges of his Dark Magician cards so that when Yugi shuffled his deck, a Dark Magician would very likely be the first card he got, since he'd probably split it on the faint groove offered by that card.

I don't see how cheating is required for topdecking, even guys like Tetsu Trudge can Montage Dragon on turn 2 so consistency clearly isn't an issue even if you don't have Plot Armor.

This is a title.
Episode 82.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
Love your hair, hope you win
Was the A-hole line an 8-Bit Theater reference?
Joke? Why are you calling it a joke? You drew a picture of two dudes hugging and wrote "I love hugs!" on it.
And so this finally settles the DOMA arc. All that's left is the KC Filler before the real final arc gets here.
For what I got Rare hunter Mark is card and put some glasses so IT IS Cheating, specially considering he have three copies of exodia.
And for what I get, Arkana did cut the edge so he can involke dark magician early, if was only Yugi count on it can destroy it
And men I have to catch on

Next season is gonna be interesting for me because, aside the bare basics of what's in it and some guy's deck containing the Norns I think, I have zero knowledge of what's gonna happen. Especially considering I've stopped playing the game right around that time.
Burning love!
Perpetually Confused
God there's still filler after this filler?
The filler has only just begun!
The Unknown
But isn't it the "good" filler arc? The one where Kaiba kicks Zigfried's ass?
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
And it's bad filler where Jonouchi loses in the second round. The arc is pretty much pointless except to make Kaiba more prominent than he needs to be.
The Unknown
The anime version of the final arc also makes Kaiba more important that he needs to be. In the manga he leaves the series after Battle City because he completed his character arc that started in Death-T. The anime writers loved Kaiba so much they added him into the final arc, making everything he does there technically filler.
Joey loses in the second round? Frankly, he should.
Of course, his previous incarnation is in the arc so it's not like he was entirely absent. Since he's important to the myth arc it doesn't sound like a bad idea to involve him.
I also like the anime having him offer to take part in the ceremonial duel
What did they mean by the final season? Are they not doing the Grand Championship arc? I was looking forward to that.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
Comparatively to the previous arcs, the Millennium World arc is very short. It might be even shorter than Duelist Kingdom, and unlike that arc, it doesn't really have many duels.
LK might combine the the final arc with Grand Championship just to pad things out to a full season.
The tournament already is part of the final season.
Honestly, it’s annoys me how much extra screentime and shilling Kaiba gets in the anime. He’s not supposed to be admirable. By making him a badass who barely changes, the entire point of his character is missed (the manga alternates between calling him out and shilling him, but at least he develops greatly and the characters know when he’s being an asshole).
That’s the major reason why he should not have beaten Jonouchi in their anime only duel in Battle City (besides Jonouchi really needing a bone thrown at him).
No way in hell should Jonouchi have won that fight. He's simply not on Kaiba's level, that'd just be underdog shilling.
Oh yeah way in hell. Either Jonouchi should have won that duel or it should not have happened. It undermined Kaiba’s character arc since it is no longer a loss that triggers Kaiba’s BSOD. Maybe Jonouchi winning would be odd from a skill stand point, but from thematic stand point, it would be a hell of a lot better than what Kaiba beating Jonouchi.
Why from a thematic stand point does Jonouchi deserve another loss?
Ah yes: underdog shilling. In a children's card game.
