Card eras

The classic era, set by set.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Twin Masters plays the cards of the original era: from the first Duel Monsters cards to the last sets before Synchro Monsters. We add the cards of each year step by step, and this page shows how far each one has come.

The format

Classic rules

Duels use the classic rules of that era: 8000 Life Points, a 40 to 60 card Main Deck and an Extra Deck of up to 15 Fusion Monsters. Tribute Summons, Flip effects, Ritual and Fusion Summons all work as they did.

There are no Synchro, Xyz, Pendulum or Link Monsters: they came after this era.

What's next

The road ahead

The 2008 sets are in: the last cards before the Synchro era. The classic era keeps growing: when the engine learns a new mechanic, we go back through every year and add the cards it unlocks.
