Advanced Format
Advanced Format is what is used at Regional, National, and World Championship Events. Advanced Format includes the Forbidden List, the Limited List, and the Semi-Limited List.
The Forbidden List was made to prevent cards being used that were either too powerful, had no costs(paying life points or discarding a card), or ended games too quickly. One of the most infamous One Turn Kills/First Turn Kills dealt with involved Magical Scientist and Catapult Turtle. The Last Turn OTK and Yata-Garasu-Based Lockdown was also been addressed in later Advanced Format revision, with further lists tackling Brain Control and the Chaos Series.
Since some players dislike playing without the Forbidden cards, a Traditional Format was set up, in which no cards are Forbidden, only Limited.
