October 28 Banlist Update

A new banlist is on the way for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel coming on October 28th. Check here for all the details on what cards are being limited, semi-limited and unlimited!

October 28 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 October 28, 2022:

Cards Moved to Forbidden

Cards Moved to Limited

Cards Moved to Semi-Limited

Cards Moved to Semi-Limited
Swordsoul Strategist Longyuan	Branded Opening	Floowandereeze and the Magnificent Map

Cards Moved to Unlimited

Cards Moved to Unlimited
Prank-Kids Rocksies	Sky Striker Mecha - Widow Anchor
The Phantom Knights of Torn Scales	Virtual World Roshi - Laolao

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.

Which Archetype Was Affected The Most?

All six cards affected by this banlist come from different archetypes, which are currently sitting at the top of Master Duel's metagame for Ranked Duels. Which one was the most affected, for better or for worse, with the newest update?
