HIGHLIGHTS
OCG1103
Our main retro format, OCG1103 recreates the competitive environment using the March 2011 OCG banlist. This format was recently popularized in Japan for its slower pace and balanced gameplay, with the emphasis on traps and careful sequencing. One of the biggest compliment of OCG1103 is its deck diversity. Popular competitive choices include Debris Dandy, Rabbit Laggia, Agents, Karakuri, Six Samurai, T.G. Gadget and many more. Each deck has its own strengths, from synchro swarming to control-heavy trap builds making the metagame varied and exciting. Unlike modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, OCG1103 is free from hand traps like Maxx “C” and Ash Blossom, allowing for more interactive duels and deeper turn-by-turn decision-making. Matches often become battles of endurance and resource trading, where timing and prediction are just as important as raw power.
Edison Format
Edison Format is a retro format based on the March 2010 TCG banlist, named after the Shonen Jump Championship held in Edison, New Jersey. It represents one of the creative eras in Yu-Gi-Oh! history. Gameplay is mid-paced, giving players the freedom to explore unique deck-building ideas. The format is home to a huge variety of viable decks, including Lightsworn, Blackwing, Gladiator Beast, HERO, Frog Monarch, and more. Edison rewards adaptability and smart decision making. For many players, Edison is a nostalgic return to simpler yet deeply strategic gameplay, a perfect entry point for those new to retro formats.
