Explore a new way to Duel with Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Genesys at DZ Comics & Gaming. This fully supported tournament system has been in development for more than two years and has already seen play, including the Rivalry of Warlords decks at the World Championship Qualifier. Genesys keeps standard Duel rules, while changing how decks are built. Link and Pendulum Monsters are not used, and the classic field returns without Extra Monster Zones or Pendulum Zones. All other cards are permitted and there is no Forbidden and Limited List. Deck construction uses a points budget so certain powerful cards carry a cost and most cards are free, which lowers overall power and highlights battle-focused play. Organizers select the points cap for each event, with 100 as the usual setting and options like 200, 50, or even zero depending on the experience they want to create. The format welcomes a wide range of Duelists, including newcomers, players who prefer a simpler game, anyone eager for a different pace, deck builders who love a challenge, and fans hoping to make a favorite strategy shine again.
