In the TCG, the Advanced Format is the official format used at Regional, National, and World Championship Events. The Advanced Format includes the Forbidden List, the Limited List, and the Semi-Limited List.
The Forbidden List was created to prevent cards from being used that were either too powerful, had no drawbacks, or ended games too quickly. One of the most infamous One Turn Kills/First Turn Kills dealt with involved "Magical Scientist" and "Catapult Turtle". Other overpowered Deck builds at the time, such as the "Last Turn" OTK and "Tsukuyomi" Lockdown, have also been addressed in later Advanced Format revisions, with further lists tackling Goat Control and the Chaos Series.
Following the inception of Advanced Format, the Traditional Format was established, in which Forbidden cards are only Limited. This gave players the option to continue playing with Forbidden cards.
