Anthony Pascariello from Norwalk, Connecticut won the first Time Wizard Public Event of the day for the March 2010 Advanced Format. This Advanced Format was the one used at the 75^th Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series in Edison, New Jersey and is a popular Time Wizard Format among Duelists. Lots of players are passionate about competing in events held under that Synchro-era Forbidden & Limited List, which is part of why the Time Wizard Public Events have been so popular this weekend.

Let’s go back to a simpler time, when Synchro Monsters reigned supreme, and Pendulum Monsters and Link Monsters didn’t exist. Or maybe you’d like to go even further back, to a time that Fusion Monsters were the only cards that went into Extra Decks, and Thousand-Eyes Restrict was the scariest of them all. That’s the magic of the Time Wizard Format. It’ll take you to any time period you want to be in. In the Time Wizard Public Events, a point in time is fixed for each event, and Duelists may only use cards that were available at that point in time. In addition, the rules of the game – including the Forbidden & Limited List – are set to imitate the exact rules that were followed at that point in time. This allows Duelists to compete in their favorite formats of the past over and over again, reliving the happiness those formats brought them so many years ago.
