Genesys uses the same rules as standard Duels, with a few simple changes to Deck construction:

  • No Link or Pendulum Monsters are allowed, and the old game field is used (so no Extra Monster Zones or Pendulum Zones).
  • All other cards are allowed. There is no Forbidden & Limited List.
  • Deck construction uses a point system! Some (powerful) cards have a point cost when building your Deck; most cards cost no points. Each Duelist will have the same number of points to build their Deck. This brings the power ceiling on Decks down for everyone and focuses Duels on battle action.
  • Tournament organizers can change the point cap for each event. Standard is 100 points, but you can do a 200-point event where people can have more power cards, or lower it to 50 (fewer power cards) or even zero (no power cards)! Whatever you want.

Has anyone tried it yet? There's even been an update to the point values already.

I quit earlier this year and would like to play the game again - just not with the state the meta game has been in for years, but I was really bummed out since all my pet decks are pendulum based.
