Revision as of 17:50, 13 September 2011

File:MaraudingCaptain5DS1-EN-C-1E.png
"Marauding Captain" is an example of a card already reprinted with Problem-Solving Card Text. This is the card from Starter Deck: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Problem-Solving Card Text was an update to card lore text, introduced to booster packs with the release of Generation Force,[1] and starter decks with the release of Starter Deck: Dawn of the Xyz, with the intent to simplify card effects to the point that most situations could be resolved simply by applying logic.[2] It was announced by Kevin Tewart through a series of blog posts to Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's TCG Strategy Site.[2][3]

Legendary Collection 2: The Duel Academy Years was in part created to reprint many old cards with the new text style (including the HERO monsters).
