Tryout Duels TCG Format Key Notes

This is the first time Master Duel has adopted a format from the physical card game of Yu-Gi-Oh!, going with the Trading Card Game (TCG) Format for this run of the Tryout Duels. Players have to keep two things in mind while participating in this event.

TCG Banlist

The first thing to remember is that with the adoption of the format, it also inherits the Forbidden & Limited Card List used by TCG players. It is a completely different list than the Master Duel Banlist, which updates more sporadically compared to the game's.

You can check out the official Konami website for the TCG Forbidden & Limited Card List updated as of January 1st, 2024 in the link below:

Not All Cards from TCG are in Master Duel ...Yet

Master Duel does not have all the cards that are in the TCG or OCG just yet. The newer cards will eventually arrive to the game at some point in time, but players will have to find a workaround on Decks that need crucial cards but are not in Master Duel's current card pool.
