Haven't you ever wanted to duel with the cool monsters, but the game's nature of power creep meant you couldn't? I have won games with a deck that has Science Soldier in it. Science Soldier!
Look at this man! State-of-the-art weaponry, ready to face all the Blue-Eyes in the world! 800 attack and 800 defense.
In normal play, this and many, many cards are deemed useless. With the Reborn Format, all of these and more can be played; and can even win you games! You can play with the cards that are near and dear to your heart. Not because they are printed with the biggest numbers and the most broken effects, but because when you look at them, your heart smiles.
It is my belief that that is the Heart of the Cards.
So, you want to know how to play?
That's the easy part. Pick your 5 favorite effect monsters, grab a bunch of normal monsters, traps, and spells, and put together a 40-card deck.
All Yu-Gi-Oh rules and ban lists are in effect, save for one change:
EVERYTHING ON THE FORBIDDEN AND LIMITED LIST IS NOW LIMIT 1!
YEP! WELCOME BACK, POT OF GREED!
Once you're ready, drag your closest friends kicking and screaming to your local game store to play a game they've been trying to forget ever since it broke their heart.
