Theme Chronicle Event Rules

Archetypes Featured in Solo Mode Allowed

During the Theme Chronicle event, the cards allowed are from archetypes featured Master Duel’s various Solo Mode Gates! This means most of the meta-defining cards and Decks are most likely Banned in this game mode.

Since the last iteration of the event, more archetypes and their story have been added to Solo Mode, thus allowing for more variety in Decks that are featured!
