The point system is amazing! I love the idea, people are definitely going to do some crazy stuff with Genesys Format. Amazing development, TCG Konami! They should do Point Event in MD too
'POT OF GREED, PLAYABLE?' 😱
BREAKING: A new game rule called YuGiOh Genesys has been revealed today in TCG!
"Genesys is a fully supported tournament system we’ve been working on for over 2 years, that you can now play at your local Official Tournament Store, and soon at the YCS level! (And a lot of Duelists have already played it – all of the Rivalry of Warlords Decks at the World Championship Qualifier were actually Genesys Decks. Surprise!)" - Konami
👉Who It’s For
Genesys was designed for everyone! But it’s mostly meant as a Big Tent to provide a good and fun home for all sorts of Duelists:
✅Duelists looking for a less complicated game.
✅Duelists who are new to the game.
✅Duelists who have always had a favorite Deck, and want their favorite Deck to be a little more competitive.
✅Anybody looking for a new experience or change of pace.
✅Duelists who love love love a Deck-building challenge.
✅Everyone who just can’t get enough Dueling!
The Genesys rules are simple:
1. No Link Monsters or Pendulum Monsters are allowed. All other cards are allowed. The original field layout is used, with no Extra Monster Zones nor Pendulum Zones.
2. The standard Forbidden & Limited Cards list is not used. All those cards can be used, except Link Monsters and Pendulum Monsters. Usual limit of 3 copies max of any card still applies.
3. Deck construction uses a point system. Some cards are assigned a point value; most cards cost zero points. The total point cost of cards in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck (combined) cannot exceed the point cap for that event.
4. The standard point cap is 100, but events can be run with any point cap, or even a zero-point cap! Official Tournament Stores can set their own caps for their tournaments.
