Unlike those of other TCG games, Yu-Gi-Oh&#8217;s tournament blacklists differ between regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These restrictions came into effect on 15 April 2024 in North and Latin America; they will do likewise on 22 April 2024 in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania. A total of 16 cards have seen their playability status changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four cards have now been completely banned, meaning that none of a player&#8217;s registered tournament decks are allowed to contain any copies of these cards. The cards in question are Linkuriboh, Baronne de Fleur, Borreload Savage Dragon, and Summon Limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the latest restrictions, none of these four cards had even been restricted in any way. However, shifts in the meta outside Japan and Asia-Pacific forced Konami&#8217;s hand as these cards had become significantly overpowered in the current Yu-Gi-Oh TCG environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six cards have been moved to the restricted category, meaning that among all of a player\u2019s registered tournament decks, only one can contain such cards. These six cards are Archnemeses Protos, Majespecter Unicorn &#8211; Kirin, Thunder Dragon Colossus, Chicken Game, Anti-Spell Fragrance, and <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/26\/yu-gi-oh-tcg-tidal-dragon-ruler-of-waterfalls-is-unbanned-after-9-years-gold-series-2014-gs06-jp005-release-date-11-january-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these cards except for the previously unrestricted Anti-Spell Fragrance have been taken off the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG\u2019s tournament blacklist. Players may thus now use them in their tournament decks in more limited capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two cards are now semi-restricted, meaning that each official tournament deck may contain a maximum of two copies of each card on the semi-restricted list. These cards are Armageddon Knight and Purrely Delicious Memory. Both of these cards have been downgraded from the restricted to the semi-restricted category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, four cards will now be fully unrestricted after having previously been either restricted or semi-restricted but will now have all restrictions removed. These cards are Destiny Hero &#8211; Malicious, Orcust Harp Horror, Speedroid Terrortop, and Sky Striker Mobilize &#8211; Engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orcust Harp Horror was previously restricted but will now have all restrictions dropped. All three other cards just mentioned, meanwhile, have been moved from the semi-restricted category to the unrestricted category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/04\/16\/pokemon-tcg-the-ruler-of-space-warps-the-dimensions-origin-forme-palkia-v-space-juggler-s10p-071-067\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Origin Forme Palkia V card from Space Juggler [S10P]<\/a>.
