Welcome To The New Era Of Dueling!
Welcome to the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series tournament of an all-new era!
Eleven days ago on August 20th Duelists world-wide were shocked to find that the new Forbidden & Limited List would bring sweeping changes to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. Dragon Rulers and Prophecy were reined in, along with their predecessors, Mermails and Fire Fists. Splashable trap cards were Limited and Semi-Limited to balance out the newly-Forbidden status of Heavy Storm. Generic power cards like Monster Reborn and Pot of Avarice were banished to the Shadow Realm, as were high-impact themed cards like Gateway of the Six. Cards like Black Whirlwind, Destiny Hero – Malicious, and Scapegoat were removed from the List, returning to three-per-deck. It was the biggest list of changes ever, affecting a grand total of 47 cards.
