The next edition of Tryout Duels has been announced for March 1, 2024, and this time players are going 20 years back to 2004 OCG rules! Read on to learn more about the details of this event!

Tryout Duels Event Information

Foir this run of the Tryout Duels, the game will be adopting a specific format from the OCG twenty years ago, when the physical card game was just starting out.

Tryout Duel: OCG Format Changes

This is much like the previous run of the Tryout Duels, where players were able to experience the TCG Format. This time, players will have an even bigger change of rules to deal with.

For starters, the player going first in the Duel will draw a card like it did before the addition of Master Rule 3 for both TCG and OCG in 2014!

Biggest Banlist in Master Duel

The event's rules states that cards released up until November 25, 2004 in the OCG Format are the only viable cards in this event. This marks the release of the Flaming Eternity Card Pack released in the OCG on that same day. The same card pack was released in the TCG on March 5th, 2005.

This would mean that every single card released past that date is marked as Forbidden.

OCG Format Rules

With the event switching back to 2004, that should also mean that the Forbidden & Limited List will be somewhat similar to that time. It will most likely adopt the September 2004 OCG Banlist, which was just before the format's reference date.

Tryout Duel Event Reward

Much like previous versions of Tryout Events, the main prize given out during this event is a free Card Pack featuring the most recently released Selection Pack during their run.

In this case, it's most likely that players will receive a free Card Pack from the Ride Into the Future Selection Pack.
