Errata (Japanese: エラッタ Eratta) are changes to any part of the text of a card (other than Card Number) that occur between reprints or on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Database.
Errata can be made to a card for a variety of reasons, including to fix mistakes, to update a card's terminology, or to clarify the behavior of a card so that its rulings are easier to understand (such as Problem-Solving Card Text). Some errata specifically modify the card's functionality itself, usually as a way to make the card less powerful in order to remove it from the Forbidden list.
Players are not required to own the most recent erratum of a card, but they must always be played according to the latest erratum even if using an older copy of the card. Konami recommends using the most recent printing of a card, because that text is the most accurate.[1]
Some examples of errata are listed below.

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned with "Rise of the Snake Deity" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways except by its own effect. This card gains 500 ATK for each Reptile-Type monster in your Graveyard. This card cannot be targeted by, and is unaffected by, Spell/Trap effects and other Effect Monsters' effects. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can banish 1 other Reptile-Type monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: Place 1 Hyper-Venom Counter on it. When 3 Hyper-Venom Counters are on this card, you win the Duel. | |
Major mechanical changes
Cards can receive errata that make major mechanical changes to their effects, rather than simply having errors or consistency corrected. A large majority of such cards were Forbidden at the time of the erratum, weakening them enough so that they no longer needed to be Forbidden.[3][4]
Original | First erratum |
---|---|

Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK; your opponent takes no damage until the end of the next turn, also you look at your opponent's hand and all monsters they control, and if you do, destroy the monsters among them with 1500 or more ATK, then your opponent can destroy up to 3 monsters with 1500 or more ATK in their Deck. |
The following cards have been officially modified in this way.[5]
- ↑ This change was effective as of January 1, 2014[5]
- ↑ a b c This change was effective as of January 1, 2015[5]
- ↑ This change was effective as of March 8, 2018[6]
- ↑ This change was effective as of April 1, 2020[5]
- ↑ This change was effective prior to being reprinted
- ↑ This change was effective as of January 1, 2021[5]
- ↑ This change was effective as of April 1, 2022[5]
- ↑ This change was effective as of May 19, 2022[7]
- ↑ This change was effective as of January 1, 2023[8]
- ↑ The OCG text was changed to align with what the TCG text has always said.
Players with cards that have the old text of these cards may still use them, treated as if they have the new text; however, the rules require notifying their opponent about the erratum (such as by having a printout of the Card Database entry available).[9]
Prior to the official start of this practice in March 2014, a small number of cards (usually old OCG-only cards at the time) received significant functional errata prior to their TCG release, such as "Toon World" and "Sangan".
