February 14 Banlist Update
| The new Banlist goes into effect on February 14th, 2023. |
|---|
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 and one-sided Duels.
List of Forbidden & Limited Cards
The following cards will have their restrictions changed following the scheduled update on February 14, 2023:
Cards Moved to Forbidden
| No Cards have been moved to Forbidden status. |
