Errata Cards
The following cards have had their effects change as a result of new updates to their card effect texts. This changes how these cards function during a Duel.
Please use the “New Text” section below when applying the effect of these cards, as that is now the correct effect.
If you are using an “Old Text” version of a card in your Deck, you must make it clear to your opponent that the effect of that particular card is different to what you are currently playing.
The best way to do this is to do one of the following:
- Have a printout of this page available.
- Have a printout of the Yu‑Gi‑Oh! TCG Card Database entry for any card(s) you are using.
(If you click on a card name below, it will take you to that card’s database entry.) - Have a physical copy of a “New Text” version of the card on-hand to use as reference.
(This physical copy must not form part of your Deck or be placed within your Deck Case.)
