Deckbuilding Rules

- At least 15 of your cards must be cards your character has played, including copies, in their Main Deck from the official anime, manga, or movies. Some characters may require more.
- Mystical Space Typhoon and Dark Hole are excluded from counting as "character cards".
- Stick to your character's cards as the focus for the deck as much as possible. It is, however okay to have secondary engines.. (Ex. You should not be running a Mermail deck with a few character cards thrown in, or using a Laval deck with some of Jack's cards in it.)
- Allowed a Side Deck consisting of no more than 11 cards your Character doesn't use, in addition to any number of cards they do use, and you can never side out to have less Character cards in your deck than the minimum for your character.
- The Extra Deck may include only FOUR cards not in the character's Extra Deck unless otherwise stated, including copies. Of these 4, only 2 may be the same card. (IE, you can have 2 Maestroke, 1 Utopia, and 1 Gagaga Cowboy, but not 2 Maestroke and 2 Utopia or 3 Maestroke and 1 Utopia).

--- In addition to this rule, players will now be allowed to take one "freebie" card to add a single copy of to their Extra Deck from the list below that does not count for the Extra Deck limitations. Additional copies will count as non-character cards.
- You must use AT LEAST 2 Spells and 2 Traps your character used. IE, you cannot use 21 of their monsters and call it good. Certain characters do not apply.

- Both players may control a Field Spell Card at a time. (When the other player activates theirs, yours is not destroyed)

Is Red Ant a character card for Rex too?

 

Completely forgot he legitly used the card.

 

Name: DysonSlinky

DN: Rage of the Slinky

Character: V

Time Zone: EST (-5)

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Yes, he did actually use Red Ant. In the anime, though, Supay was replaced with some Dark Tuner, and since Moon Dragon is no longer a Dark Synchro... You get where that's going. Anyways, added you both.

[Slinky]

Can greiger use Dark Strike Fighter with its new errata?

[Wildflame]

Time to blow stuff up.

 

Wildflame/Wildflame/Anna Kozuki/GMT -3

[BANZAI!!!!]

since jack stole it and used it, am i allowed to run OG stardust as a character card?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Can greiger use Dark Strike Fighter with its new errata?

No, because it's still illegal in the TCG, and I don't want to have to have people play in Traditional.

 

since jack stole it and used it, am i allowed to run OG stardust as a character card?

Yes, you can.

[Dementuo]

Just so everyone knows, Rio is a character from the lower tiers. She is indeed playable, but characters are in lower tiers for a reason. They usually don't have very many cards to pick from, have a lot of weak cards, and are very inconsistent.

[Slinky]

I could have picked Rio?!?! D:

Oh well, maybe next time.

You still can if you want to.

[Slinky]

Naw. Quinton V has priority.

[Slinky]

For Rio:

 

Gorgonics considered character cards? Because she technically did use them, even though she was being possessed by Abyss.

 

Also, is Number 94 considered a character card? She never legit used it, but its abundantly clear that it is supposed to be hers.

Unless it says otherwise or it's painfully obvious, a character's cards used in the anime/manga are theirs. So yes, she does get to use the cards from when she was possessed.

 

Number 94 is technically Shark's card.

 

EDIT: I have to figure out what to do there, because I think I got my facts wrong when giving Rio Crystal Lancer.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Speaking of Shark, is he available?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Speaking of Shark, is he available?

No. He's banned into OP Tier. He used to be playable in the normal tournaments, but he just gained too many good cards to be considered for it anymore. All of the characters you can play as are now listed, including the really bad ones.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

It was worth a try.
I'll go with Jaden.
With him, does this mean I can use any of his Fusions, plus 4 others?

Plus as many as 4 other Extra Deck monsters, yes. Please take note of the additional banlist and rules in the opening post, though. Also, please post the rest of your information.
