The Ultimate Guide to YuGiOh Banlist 2022: Forbidden, Limited, and Semi-Limited card list

Keeping up to date with the latest YuGiOh  banlist is as much key to success in this trading card game as it is in Magic: The Gathering or the Pokémon TCG. While it’s more of a wild west than some other TCGs, YuGiOh cards are still banned, limited, or semi limited on a (somewhat) regular basis to keep the game fair, fun, and balanced – and, if a key card or combo in your beloved, tournament winning deck suddenly becomes illegal, you’re going to want to know about it!

YuGiOh Banlist 2022

Yu Gi Oh! Trading Card Game’s publisher, Konami, releases an updated version of the banlist on its official website every couple of months, and – naturally – there are separate banlists for the game’s ‘Advanced’ format (which is used in Regional, National, and World Championship events) and the much looser ‘Traditional’ format. Many cards, for example, are Forbidden (not allowed at all) in Advanced, but only Limited (restricted to one copy per deck) in Traditional format.

Banned, Limited, and Semi-limited cards can be cards of any type, and the banlist typically contains numerous Monster, Monster/Effect, Monster/Fusion, Monster/Link, Monster/Synchro, Monster/Xyz, Spell, and Trap type cards.

The YuGiOh banlist rules 

  • If a card is ‘Forbidden’, it cannot be used in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, or Side Deck
  • If a card is ‘Limited’, you can only have one copy of it in your main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck combined
  • If a card is ‘Semi-limited’, you can only have two copies of it in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck combined.

The Truly Unlimited

Danger Nessie could have come back a while ago. Danger!? is cool but was only really good in the OTK Dark world deck from when Firewall Dragon was the most broken card in the game.

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon is rightfully at 3. There was no reason to keep it at 1 after the Eratta and I doubt it will see play at more than one.

More pendulum in Performapal Skullrobat Joker. Very cool for the PePe fans. Really this could have happened last year.

Emergency Teleport at 3. Without True King of all Calamities, I doubt Virtual World will be tier 1. It will be much more consistent however and Myutant now gets 3 starters so that’s good for me.

Raigeki at 3 is great for budget players. Having Lightning storm at 3 and Rageki at 1 was very funny since they just do the same thing. That’s everything nothing else was unbanned on this banlist haha, goodbye everyone.
