Tryout Duel: Time Travel 2014 Format Changes

Specific Date of Time Travel Format

This is much like the previous Time Travel formats of the Tryout Duels, where players were able to experience a format that was from the past, like a previous version adopting rules from 2004 or from 2010.

This time, players will be adopting a format where only cards that were released up to a certain point in 2014 are legal for this event! This year happens to be specifically known for being the introduction of the Pendulum mechanic to Yu-Gi-Oh!

Pendulum Rules follow Current Master Rules

In the initial release of the Pendulum Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pendulum Zones are their own exclusive card zones, and the Extra Monster Zones were not implemented yet.

However, according to the in-game announcement, the Pendulum Zones will remain combined with the Spell/Trap Zones for this Tryout Duels event!

Different Banlist from Master Duel

Much like the previous Time Travel Formats, as the cards allowed are those released on and before a specific date, that means every single card released after that date will be marked as Forbidden.

It also means that the Forbidden & Limited Card List will most likely mirror the meta that was active on that date's meta.
