- The newest event will task players with building decks only using cards that were released before November 2010, following a special banlist.
- Time Travel 2010's deck-building challenge harkens back to one of Yu-Gi-Oh's most popular historic formats, commonly known as "Edison Format."
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel has officially announced the newest limited-time event coming to the popular online trading card game, harkening back to one of the TCG's most beloved formats. Since the Konami digital card game launched in early 2022, the developer has tried out a variety of different events, spicing up players' in-game experience with new deckbuilding challenges. Many of Master Duel's events have focused around particular Deck types, while others create unique restrictions like "singleton" decks. Now, the game is getting a new version of its unique "Duel Trial" events.
The Duel Trial series of events in Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel have featured some of the game's most unique spins as part of its restrictions. Past events have featured everything from setting players' Life Points to 1 at the start of a match to gifting players powerful cards like "Nibiru, the Primal Being" in their opening hands. One particularly popular Duel Trial event even whisked players back to the game's early days, restricting players to cards released before 2005 and using a legacy banlist. The newest "Time Travel" event will now thrust players into one of the game's most popular older formats.
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel Adds 2 New Selection Packs
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel adds a pair of new Selection Packs to the game, featuring both brand-new cards and reprint of popular older cards.
Konami recently announced "Time Travel 2010" as the newest event in its ongoing series of "Duel Trial" challenges, featuring a more truncated variant of the game's normal events. Time Travel 2010 will task players with building decks using only cards released before November 13th, 2010, just two years after the introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh's Synchro Monsters. The event will also feature a unique Master Duel banlist restricting players' access to certain cards, based on the Japanese OCG's banlist from September 2010. The event will begin on June 24 and runs through June 28.
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel Announces "Time Travel 2010" Duel Trial Event
Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel's newest event serves as a callback to one of the card game's most popular formats, commonly referred to as "Edison Format." The format gets its name from the Shonen Jump Championship held in Edison, New Jersey in 2010, seen as one of the game's most balanced and competitive formats. Edison Format also features some of Yu-Gi-Oh's most popular themes as dominant strategies, including multiple variants of Yu-Gi-Oh GX's "HERO" deck and the "Blackwing" strategy from Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.
While the new event focuses on classic cards, Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel recently saw plenty of cards added to the game's competitive format. June saw the release of two brand-new Selection Packs in Master Duel, with "Lord of Dimensions" adding the "Vaalmonica" archetype and new support for themes like "Fire King" and "Supreme King." The update also introduced new limited-time alternate arts for popular cards like "Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!" And "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari." Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel's newest event looks to be a blast from the past when it launches next week.
