What is Small World in Yu-Gi-Oh!?
Small World is a Normal Spell considered one of the strongest consistency cards in the game. Starting from a monster in your hand, it lets you search any other monster in the Deck — as long as a "bridge card" connects the two.
In concrete terms, when you activate Small World, you send a monster from your hand to the graveyard (card A), then excavate the top of your Deck until a monster is revealed (card B, the bridge) and add that monster to your hand. For this excavation to work, card B must share exactly 1 of the following 5 categories with card A: Type, Attribute, Level/Rank/Link, ATK, DEF — neither 0, nor 2 or more.
The same rule applies between card B (the bridge) and card C, the monster you actually want from your Deck. Once bridge B is in hand, you can usually send it to the graveyard with a second Small World, or use it as material, to continue your combo toward C.
The strategic challenge is therefore to choose, when building your Yu-Gi-Oh! deck, the right bridge monsters to connect your starters to your key targets, while keeping a card ratio consistent with the rest of your strategy.

The 5 categories compared by Small World
Two monsters "match" on a category if their values are strictly identical:
- Type : the monster type (Dragon, Spellcaster, Warrior…), independent of its category (Effect, Fusion, Xyz…).
- Attribute : DARK, LIGHT, FIRE, WATER, WIND, EARTH or DIVINE.
- Level/Rank/Link : treated as a single category under the current ruling.
- ATK : the attack points must be strictly identical.
- DEF : the defense points must be strictly identical (absent for Link Monsters).
If two monsters share 0, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these categories, they do not form a valid chain — the bridge must touch exactly one category on each side.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Small World
Small World sends a monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then excavates the top of your Deck until it finds a monster that shares exactly 1 of the 5 categories (Type, Attribute, Level/Rank/Link, ATK, DEF) with the sent monster, and exactly 1 of these categories with a monster you declare from your Deck. This bridge monster joins your hand.
Yes, under the current ruling, Level, Rank and Link Rating are treated as one single category for Small World. The tool applies this rule automatically.
No. Link Monsters have no DEF value, so they can never match on the DEF category with another monster. The tool automatically excludes this match.
Yes, in real play the bridge monster must be physically in your Main Deck to be excavated. This tool searches the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! card database to help you identify which cards to add to your deck to create the connection.
