Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel’s first Event Duel is here, and it’s all about XYZ Monsters. The XYZ Festival event has its own banlist, so some of your decks may not be legal to play without some modifications. Here’s the full XYZ Festival banlist, complete with limited and semi-limited cards.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel: Complete XYZ Festival Banlist

This event banlist is built on the existing Master Duel one. Most of the unique XYZ Festival banlist are cards that either hate on XYZ cards, offer alternate win conditions or make summoning XYZ cards too easy without the other types to keep them in check.

Notably, there are a few non-Extra deck oriented archetypes that get the axe: Eldlich the Golden Lord is completely banned, many key Monarch pieces are gone and the anti-Special Summon  Dogmatika deck is also stripped.

Marquee cards of some Ritual themes like Blue-Eyes and Gishki are banned, likely to promote even more XYZ summoning.
