2023 Xyz Festival Event Rules
This event follows a different rule for cards. During the Xyz Festival, your Extra Deck can only have Xyz Monsters. In addition, the limited card pool will also differ from the one we follow in ranked battles.
2023 Xyz Festival Strategies
Play Using Original Xyz Competitive Decks
There are Decks that can be played purely with Xyz Monsters in the Extra Deck, and a number of archetypes specializes in Xyz Summoning!.
We have a couple of suggestions in mind for good decks to run during the Xyz Festival, as well as suggestions for adjustments for Decks that need a few changes!
Event Emergency Ban
As of February 22, 2022, the card Flying "C" is banned from the Xyz Festival following an emergency banlist announcement.
Loaner Decks
Loaner Decks are also available so that all players can participate in the event, even those that do not have Xyz-dedicated Decks.

Anonymous almost 3 yearsThese kinds of events are trash. I hope Konami doesn't continue this shtick of rerunning these "single extra deck locked" events without actually balancing their ban list.

PaleoSpright is comically overpowered for this event. I’ve been hovering around 85% win rate with a quickly thrown together list. The deck really only loses to your opponent having multiple board breakers and a way to set up multiple negates/ a massive Zeus.
