If a card is Illegal, it means it cannot ever be used in tournament play or other official Duels.[citation needed] Illegal cards may only be used in casual play at the agreement of all participants. In general, official cards which are illegal can be distinguished by the presence of limitation text (most commonly "This card cannot be used in a Duel.") where the password would be normally placed, in the card's lower left-hand corner.
The majority of illegal cards are tournament prize cards, most of them being Match winners. The original Egyptian God cards are illegal not only because of the Limitation Text, but also because of the colored and unlabelled backings (which makes them count as marked cards).
The lists below enumerate all official cards that are Illegal. All unofficial and counterfeit cards are also Illegal.
It is mentioned that "Golden Castle of Stromberg", "Infernalvania", and "Restraining Sword of Impact" are Illegal cards not intended for use (although in the latter case it is explained to be because of the card's code being bugged, which caused its Solid Vision effects to linger even after the Duel's end, rather than for game balance reasons).
