Official in-game rationalesEdit
- "Swallow's Nest"
- "We're limiting this card to promote Deck diversity, as it greatly boosts the power level and consistency of "Harpie" Decks."
- "Spellbook of the Master"
- "Since the limitation to "Spellbook of Fate" has been eased, this card will be limited instead as many "Spellbook" Decks include 1 or 2 copies."
- "Chaos Dragon Levianeer"
- "Simply activating this monster's effect gives the player a big step toward victory, so we're limiting it alongside other cards that work well with it."
- "Thunder Dragondark"
- "This card will be limited to prevent "Thunder Dragon" Decks from having access to Limited 3 cards."
- "Spellbook of Fate"
- "Although it is a very powerful card, we are easing the limitation of this card as "Spellbook" Decks are now used less frequently."
- "Gagaga Sister"
- "We're unlimiting this card as its power level is acceptable in the current metagame and because the Skill "Onomatoplay" has been given a harder activation restriction."
- "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru"
- "This card will be unlimited as its power level is acceptable in the current metagame."
