September Banlist Update Announced

A new banlist is on the way for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel coming on September 30th. Check here for all the details on what cards are being limited and semi-limited!

9/30 Updated Limited and Banlist

Konami has compiled the trends and results of Decks used in Ranked Duels, and will limit cards and Decks with outstandingly high usage and win rates in line with their impact on the metagame.

The changes made to the list reflect Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel's aim of preventing Decks from being too difficult to counter, and ensuring the game's tactical element is not compromised by overly short Duels.

The following cards will have their restrictions changed following the scheduled update on September 30, 2022:

Cards Moved to Forbidden

Cards Moved to Forbidden
Crystron Halqifibrax

Note: You will no longer be able to get cards newly added to this Forbidden List from Packs at the shop after the List is implemented.

Dismantling Bonuses

Dismantling cards moved to semi-limited, limited, or forbidden will grant users a 20-point Craft Point bonus. The number of times the bonus can be gained corresponds to the reduction in the maximum copies of the card per Deck due to the limited/forbidden list.
