September 1 2023 Banlist Update

A new banlist update is on the way for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, taking effect on September 1, 2023. Check here for all the details on what cards are being Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited and Unlimited!

September 1st 2023 Banlist Update

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 September 1st, 2023:

Cards Moved to Forbidden

Newly Forbidden Cards
Agido the Ancient Sentinel	Block Dragon
Tearlaments Merrli	Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin
Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad

Forbidden Cards To No Longer Appear In Card Packs

If a card has been designated as Forbidden in a banlist update, the card will no longer appear in any Card Pack after the Maintenance scheduled on August 29, 2023.

They can still be generated after the new status, however, and can only be used under Unlimited rules in a Duel Room.

Cards Moved to Limited

Newly Limited Cards
Kelbek the Ancient Vanguard		Spright Jet		Swap Frog
Branded Fusion			That Grass Looks Greener

Cards Moved to Semi-Limited

Newly Semi-Limited Cards
Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos	Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer	Pot of Extravagance

Cards Moved to Unlimited

Newly Unlimited Cards
Girsu, the Orcust Mekk-Knight	Ancient Fairy Dragon	Nadir Servant

Dismantling Bonuses

Dismantling cards moved to Semi-Limited, Limited, or Forbidden will grant users a 20-point Craft Point bonus, regardless of card finish. 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.
