Banlists are common in card games, especially in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. Unlike other card games, the vast majority of the game’s library is available to play. Magic: The Gathering rotates sets out, but Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel keeps most of it around for competitive play.However, some cards are simply too powerful and need to be banned, or at the very least, limited. Konami makes it a habit to look at their banned list every couple of months, so a card that is banned now could likely be unbanned later.What is the current list of cards that cannot be played?What is Forbidden, Limited, and Semi-Limited in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel?Another facet of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel’s banlist, is that it’s not the same as the physical TCG. There are three forms of restriction in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel: Forbidden, Limited, and Semi-Limited. Normally, players can have three of a card in their deck total.However, Forbidden cards cannot be used at all. They’re marked with a red circle icon in the game and simply cannot be added to a player's deck. Limited cards have a red circle with a “1” in them, signifying that players can only have one per deck.Semi-Limited is slightly less restricted and allows a player to have two of these cards per deck, and are marked the same way as a Limited card, but with a “2” instead. This could change in the future, but this is the current banlist for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.Ute/Dystopia.

Master DuelForbidden cards are among the most powerful and game-breaking cards in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! These cards simply break the game, or make particular decks far too meta-shattering to deal with.Forbidden card list:The Tyrant NeptuneGrinder GolemGandora-X the Dragon of DemolitionMaster Peace, the True Dracoslaying KingRedox, Dragon Ruler of BouldersTidal, Dragon Ruler of WaterfallsBlaster, Dragon Ruler of InfernosMajespecter Unicorn - KirinPerformapal MonkeyboardEclipse WyvernCyber JarDandylionDjinn Releaser of RitualsYata-GarasuMagical ScientistGlow-Up BulbRed-Eyes Dark DragoonElder Entity NordenAncient Fairy DragonTempest MagicianNumber 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter DragonOuter Entity AzathotLavalval ChainNumber 16: Shock MasterTellarknight PtolemaeusZoodiac BroadbullM-X-Saber InvokerNumber S0: Utopic ZexalTopologic Gumblar DragonSummon SorceressKnightmare GoblinGuardragon AgarpainKnightmare MermaidGuardragon ElpyLinkrossGraceful CharityPot of GreedChange of HeartLast WillHeavy StormConfiscationDeliquent DuoThe Forceful SentryGiant TrunadePainful ChoiceCold WaveDimension FusionSnatch StealPremature BurialMystic MineCard of Safe ReturnMirage of NightmareMass DriverZoodiac BarrageSet RotationTime SealSixth SenseLast TurnMagical ExplosionLife EqualizerUltimate OfferingRoyal OppressionPhoenixian Luster AmaryllisCannon Soldier MK-2Blackwing - Gofu the Vague ShadowCannon SoldierAmazoness ArcherToon Cannon SoldierPerformage PlushfireZoodiac RatpierFiber JarWind-Up HunterBlackwing - Steam the CloakSubstitoadMind MasterFishborg BlasterLevel EaterIb the World Chalice JusticiarMetamorphosisSoul ChargeButterfly Dagger - ElmaDivine Sword - Phoenix BladeSpellbook of JudgmentSelf-Destruct ButtonTrap DustshootReturn from the DIfferent DimensionAmong the forbidden cards is the Red-Eyes Black Dragoon (Image via Konami)Limited cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master DuelLimited cards are also wildly powerful, but keeping them limited to one per deck makes it less frustrating to deal with. These cards can still be found and activated early through combos, but nonetheless, a limit on them is helpful in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.Limited card list:Reinforcement of the ArmyMonster RebornRaigekiTempest, Dragon Ruler of StormsAstograph SorcererDinowrestler PankratopsGirsu, the Orcust Mekk-KnightAltergeist MultifakerCyber-SteinMorphing JarBlaze Fenix, the Burning Bombardment BirdABC-Dragon BusterThunder Dragon ColossusTrishula, Dragon of the Ice BarrierPSY-Framelord OmegaT.G.

Master DuelThankfully, there are not nearly as many Semi-Limited cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel. Players can have two of each in a deck, and are still decently powerful cards, like Exodia the Forbidden One. A card built for a specific deck or combo, two of them in a deck does not slow down the actual combo in any way.Semi-Limited list:Red-Eyes Darkness Metal DragonSouleating OviraptorSky Striker Mobilize - Engage!Memories of HopeScapegoatSuper PolymerizationCalled by the GraveDestiny HERO - MaliciousThunder DragonroadDanger!?

Master Duel is still a relatively new game. It’s likely that some of these will leave the banlist in the coming months, as there is still a wealth of powerful cards, trap and otherwise, in the game.
