YuGiOh Master Duel Banlist May 2023

YuGiOh Master Duel introduced a new way to play the TCG in 2022, and a YuGiOh Master Duel banlist quickly followed. The digital version of the game is expanding all the time, often in different directions from its physical tabletop sibling, so it naturally needs its own card bans to fix what gets broken. This banlist gets updated pretty regularly – luckily we’re on-deck with our eyes peeled, ready to communicate changes in this guide at a moment’s notice.

For those just learning how to play YuGiOh online, Wargamer has some handy guides prepared. Check out the best Yu Gi Oh Master Duel meta decks here. Or, if you’re looking to learn about restrictions to the physical trading card game, be sure to bookmark our Yu Gi Oh banlist too. We can also clue you in on the most expensive YuGiOh cards around right now.

What is the YuGiOh Master Duel banlist?

The Master Duel card pool doesn’t look quite the same as the one from the physical trading card game, so a separate banlist is needed to keep things balanced. Despite this, the Master Duel banlist follows roughly the same rules as the regular YuGiOh banlist.

By this, we mean there are three degrees of ‘ban’ a card can be subject to:

  • Forbidden – Can’t be used in the Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Side Deck
  • Limited – Can only have one copy in the Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck
  • Semi-limited – Can have two copies max in the Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck combined

Banlist updates tend to come every few months, and the most recent ban will come into effect on May 1. This update to the list includes:

  • Instant Fusion is now Forbidden (from Limited).
  • King of the Swamp and Foolish Burial Goods are now Limited
  • Change of Heart is now Semi-limited (from Limited).
  • Sky Striker Ace-Kagari, Thunder Dragonhawk, Fire Formation – Tenki, and Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm are now Unlimited.
