What is YuGiOh Genesys Format?

YuGiOh Genesys is Konami's official format that reimagines competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! gameplay. Launched for players seeking a fresh strategic experience, the genesys format eliminates modern mechanics complexity while introducing an innovative point-based deck construction system. Whether you're a returning player or competitive duelist, yugioh genesys offers balanced gameplay with unlimited creativity.

The genesys format follows three simple rules that define its unique gameplay:

Classic Monster Types Only

Link Monsters and Pendulum Monsters are not allowed in yugioh genesys. All other monster types (Fusion, Synchro, Xyz) can be freely used. The original field layout returns, with no Extra Monster Zones or Pendulum Zones needed.

Flexible Card Pool

The standard Forbidden & Limited Cards list does not apply in genesys format. Previously banned cards like Pot of Greed can be played, though the usual 3-copy limit per card still applies. This creates diverse deck building opportunities.

Point-Based Deck Building

Most cards cost zero points, but powerful cards carry point values. Your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck combined cannot exceed the event's point cap (standard is 100 points). Official Tournament Stores can customize point caps for their yugioh genesys events.

Why Play YuGiOh Genesys?

The format balances nostalgic gameplay with modern strategy. Without Link and Pendulum mechanics, yugioh genesys feels accessible to returning players while offering competitive depth through the point system. Build creative decks using formerly banned cards, participate in Official Tournament Store events, and join a growing global community.
