Regarding the Egyptian God Cards, the originals were also unplayable. While it might have worked as a high point Normal Monster, I suppose they probably just made it illegal to match the other two Egyptian God Cards. Put another way, these Egyptian God Cards are just fancy pieces of promo art that don't have enough rules on them to be playable. While the original prints were Illegal, Konami made rereleases of these Egyptian God cards that are actually playable and are completely legal to play in tournaments and they lack the "This card cannot be used in a Duel" text.
They are all Effect Monsters and have their abilities explained which are more balanced than the ones in the anime. The Dark Side of Dimensions at my local movie theater.
I can assure you, Konami does not make the original set of Egyptian God cards Illegal because they fear that a random duelist will summon the card and lose control of them, inadvertently destroying the world. I have played my Obelisk before and the world is still intact. But then again, maybe it's only a risk if I grow hair as crazy as Yugi's ;-. Sign up to join this community.

Sphere Mode is the real star, as you tribute summon it to either player's field by sacrificing three monsters they control.
This means you can give him to your opponent to eliminate three of their monsters, and since this doesn't target, it's one of the best counters to targeting-immune threats. Sphere can't attack or be targeted with effects, and control of him shifts to his owner at the end of the next turn, so even if you give him to your opponent, you'll soon get him back.
You might also want Immortal Phoenix, who summons himself from your graveyard when your regular Ra is sent from field to graveyard. Phoenix is unaffected by other effects, and tributes himself at the end phase to summon Sphere Mode from hand, deck, or graveyard.
Also, since he has the divine attributes, he qualifies for most god supports, meaning the best way to set him up is to discard him with Millennium Revelation. Obelisk the best of the gods on his own merit doesn't have as many supports as Ra, but sometimes it's quality over quantity.
If you control him, this quick-play which can't be negated , negates the effects of and destroys an opposing monster. Slifer's counterpart to Ob's Fist of Fate, Thunderforce is another quick-play you can only use if you control Slifer, and again, it can't be negated. It destroys as many opposing face-up monsters as possible, then if used on your main phase draws cards equal to the number sent to the graveyard this way. This is deadly, eliminating threats while replenishing your hand, and since Slifer gets stronger based on cards in hand, you may just clear the way for a game-winning direct attack.
During either player's main phase, this quick-play lets you immediately tribute summon a divine beast, and you can use opposing monsters as tribute! Now, the catch is that you can only use one non-divine beast effect until the end of the next turn, but that's a workable downside in exchange for a bonus summon that can easily clear three monsters off your opponent's field. Of course, you get to keep Slifer and Obelisk if summoned this way since it's not a special summon, making your opponent face an enormous, ongoing threat on top of having several monsters removed.
Today we saw the best of the best when it comes to Egyptian God supports, but others deserve mention. Field spell "Mound of the Bound Creator" provides several benefits to level 10 and higher cards while searching a divine monster upon destruction, while "Advance Zone" rewards tribute summons. If you manage to simultaneously field all gods, you can summon "Holactie the Creator of Light" for an insta-win, but for now, vote for your favorite god card and I'll see you at our next Yu-Gi-Oh!
Party Games. Although in the manga and anime the god cards are immune to most Spells and Traps, and others are dampened to one turn effects, there are certain cards that have power to override this, affecting the Egyptian Gods for as long as they remain on the field.

In the English manga, they are all often simply referred to as "God," though their original names are still used.
This also reflects how Seto Kaiba viewed the three "Egyptian god" cards; "Slifer" was owned by Yugi Muto , his arch-rival, so it was only natural that he holds the card in such contempt.

The only immunity of "Obelisk" was that it cannot be targeted by card effects, whereas the two other "God" Cards can be destroyed by anything. Usually, it's more practical to focus a Deck on a single Egyptian God, since they are all significantly different and lack synergy.

Non-targeting effects like " Hammer Shot " can easily destroy "Obelisk" the only one who is immune to targeting card effects.
Cards such as " Mask of Restrict " or " Ojama Trio " can make it impossible to Summon them, with the former preventing Tributes and the latter may limit the amount of tributable monsters to 2. You can use Honest so your attacking monster has sufficient ATK to destroy them. To deal with "Slifer" use card effects that force your opponent to discard cards from their hand.
