Anime Character Event Rules
The Anime Character Event is a customed formatted, proxy friendly, competitive yu-gi-oh tournament. The idea of the format is to play the most updated version of a yu-gi-oh character's archetype. There are specific deck building restrictions to achieve this that will affect decks, the rules are:
- Choose a character from the yu-gi-oh anime
- Any card used by the character that you choose that is currently banned in the TCG is legal to play at 1.
- The character you choose will have (an) associated archetype(s) as described below. You may use any card that has the listed name in its effect text or name as an Archetypal Card.
- Each deck is allowed 9 Generic Cards. These are cards that your chosen character did not play, but still follow the current TCG ban list. You get 9 Generic Cards total between your Main, Extra, and Side Decks.
- Additionally Banned Cards: Phantom of Yubel, Mansion of the Dreadful Dolls, Masked HERO Dark Law
When you enter the event, you will be asked to provide a deck list and mark the 9 Generic Cards in your deck. Any proxied cards must have the full TCG effect text as well as any game relevant stats like ATK/DEF, Level/Rank, Type, Attribute, etc. We recommend printing the picture of the card onto a normal piece of 8.5x11 printer paper and putting it in front of a normal Yu-Gi-Oh card in your deck. If we notice that only specific cards in your deck are or are not proxied that might indicate marking your cards, we will disqualify you from the event.
This is a fun but competitive event. We run this event monthly as a Win-A-Box event with a $20 entry. Only the top cut of players will receive prizing so while we encourage you to build your favorite anime character's deck, come prepared to play against other duelists who are here to win. And above all, have fun!
