Editing Limitation text

'''Limitation text''' is an unofficial term for the text sometimes displayed in the bottom-left corner of a card instead of a [[password]], and details special limitations for when that card may be used.

There are currently four types of limitation text used in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]]'' and two types in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]''.

==This card cannot be used in a Duel.==
This limitation text states that the card is [[Illegal]] in any official Duel. This is the most common type of limitation text. However, some cards with this text are specifically allowed at [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Day]] events in Japan.

The following cards use this text:
* The original (non-Effect) [[Egyptian God]] cards
* All [[Match winner]]s, except "[[Victory Dragon]]" (which was the first Match winner, and is [[Forbidden]])
* The [[Second National Tournament prize cards]]
* "[[Set Sail for The Kingdom]]", "[[Duelist Kingdom (card)|Duelist Kingdom]]", and "[[Glory of the King's Hand]]"
* "[[Creator of Hope]]", "[[Winning Formula]]", and "[[Creator of Miracles]]"
* "[[Card of Last Will]]"
Several [[Giant Card]]s and [[Case Topper]]s also use this text to state that only that particular copy cannot be used in a Duel, due to its nonstandard size.

==This card cannot be in a Deck.==
This limitation text states that the card is [[legal]] in official Duels, but cannot be put in the either the [[Main Deck]], [[Extra Deck]], or [[Side Deck]]. This is used on all [[Monster Token]] cards, [[counter]] cards, and the "[[Command Duel-Use Card]]".

==Not usable in Official Duels.==
This limitation text is a more direct translation of the ''OCG'' equivalent of "This card cannot be used in a Duel", and has exactly the same meaning. This is only used on the ''TCG'' promotional card "[[Get Your Game On!]]".

==Not an Official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Card.==
This limitation text states that the card is considered unofficial, and thus like all unofficial cards (fan-made, counterfeit, etc.), it is [[illegal]]. This was only used on the [[Upper Deck Entertainment]] promotional "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (UDE promo)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]", which was specifically made for and used at the [[Duel the Master]] 2005 Event, hosted by the then-distributors of the ''TCG''.
