Round 1
Pro
#1
Are you saying that more people live a moral life thanks to Yugioh cards?

They are just cards. How can they improve a moral life?

Since I cant prove a negative, I guess burden of proof is on my opponent.
Con
#2
Let’s say you are leading an awful existence. Then God himself comes to you and says “the only way you can lead a moral life is if you obtain Yugioh cards."

Easy. Debate won.
Round 2
Pro
#3
Did God say that to you?

And which particular Yugioh cards did he mention?
Con
#4
"Did God say that to you?"
Of course not. 

I took this debate as “come up with a scenario where Yugioh cards are needed to lead a moral life” 

And that’s exactly what I did. 
Round 3
Pro
#5
So your argument(scenario) doesnt exist right now?
Con
#6
No. But you never said it has to be. And the burden of proof is on you.

Anyway, here’s one that does exist right now: 

Yugioh cards are made of paper, which is made of wood, which is tree, which is good for the environment, which in turn teaches us a moral principle. This can help us lead a moral life. Also, you can increase your vocabulary from Yugioh cards, which you can use to study morality. 
Round 4
Pro
#7
But some yugioh cards are never even used.

Do we really need 12000 of them?

If one card was missing, it wouldnt change anything.
Con
#8
True, but they can still be used to teach moral principles, as I mentioned above. 
Round 5
Pro
#9
I guess.
Con
#10
Exactly my point. And as you commented:

"The point of some moral systems is to create a good life. Yugioh cards are needed to achieve maximum happiness, for example. I really am gonna lose this debate badly."
