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 first created in the ''TCG'' in [[August 2004 Lists|October 2004]], to prevent cards from being used in tournaments that were either too powerful, had no drawbacks, or ended games too quickly. One of the most infamous [[One Turn Kill]]s/[[First Turn Kill]]s 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 the 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.

The ''[[OCG]]'' does not use the term "Advanced Format", though its official tournament format also includes all three lists. Prior to September 2013, the ''TCG'' and ''OCG'' official tournament lists were largely similar if not identical. Starting in September 2013, the lists for the two regions have dramatically diverged.
