Q: What is a Single-Elimination Tournament?

Q: What are the rules for a Time Wizard Tournament?

A: Time Wizard events use the available Cards, Forbidden & Limited List, and game rules from the era determined by the chosen format for the tournament you enter.

There will primarily be two Time Wizard formats offered as Public Events at the Extravaganza at MegaXP.

The first format will use the April 2005 Forbidden and Limited List, and the last legal set will be Dark Beginnings 2. This will be the “July 2005” format Time Wizard event.

The second format will use the March 2010 Forbidden and Limited List, and the last legal set will be Duelist Pack: Kaiba. This will be the “April 2010” format Time Wizard event.
