Official in-game rationales

• "Type Zero Magic Crusher"
  • "We are limiting this card, as using this card along with the effect to add Spell Cards in the Graveyard to the hand allowed players to win a Duel by dealing effect damage too easily."
• "Give and Take"
  • "We are limiting this card, as it allows players to prevent their opponent from Special Summoning monsters by Special Summoning "Ra's Disciple" to the opponent's field."
• "Magician's Rod"
  • "We are limiting this card, as it allows players to consistently play a combination of cards that give their opponent little chance to fight back."
• "Shiranui Squire"
  • "We are limiting this card to prevent players from Synchro Summoning using a single card."
• "Cybernetic Overflow"
  • "We are limiting this card, as it allows players to consistently end Duels by destroying several of their opponent's cards then Fusion Summoning."
• "Dragunity Divine Lance"
  • "This card will be limited to prevent "Dragunity" decks from having access to generic Limit 2 cards."
• "Lunalight Crimson Fox"
  • "We are limiting this card, as it made it highly risky for players to Summon a monster in Attack Position."
• "Crystron Impact"
  • "This card will be limited along with other cards used in "Crystron" Decks to reduce the archetype's extremely strong level of endurance."
• "Shiranui Spectralsword"
  • "The limitation of this card will be removed, as "Shiranui Squire" has been limited in its place."
• "Magician of Dark Illusion"
  • "This card will be unlimited, as "Magician's Rod" has been limited in its place."
• "Amazoness Princess"
  • "This card will be unlimited as its power level is acceptable in the current metagame."
