Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys Thursdays at Gnome Games Green Bay West

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys is at Gnome Games Green Bay West on Thursdays!

The latest format for Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys has arrived at Gnome Games! We’re hosting Thursday tournaments each week at 5:30pm for this new format, with $5+tax entry. Like our Advanced Format tournaments it is Win-A-Match, Win-A-Pack, with OTS packs being up for grabs!

But what is Genesys?
A new format of play and deck building that allows for more potential cards to be used!

The Genesys rules are simple: 

1. 1. No Link Monsters or Pendulum Monsters are allowed. All other cards are allowed. The original field layout is used, with no Extra Monster Zones nor Pendulum Zones. 
   2. The standard Forbidden & Limited Cards list is not used. All those cards can be used, except Link Monsters and Pendulum Monsters. Usual limit of 3 copies max of any card still applies. 
   3. Deck construction uses a point system. Some cards are assigned a point value; most cards cost zero points. The total point cost of cards in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck (combined) cannot exceed the point cap for that event. 
   4.  The standard point cap is 100, but events can be run with any point cap, or even a zero-point cap! Official Tournament Stores can set their own caps for their tournaments.
      

Gnome Games is using the standard point cap of 100 for these tournaments. The 100 point cap is geared towards allowing players to use some otherwise Forbidden cards, but attempts to limit “First Turn Kills” that would otherwise be reliable because of their strength.

Konami developed a tool to help with deck construction in the Genesys format, available here: https://registration.yugioh-card.com/genesys/

There’s also a blog to help with learning this new format, as well as to keep up with changes as the point system gets adjusted! https://yugiohblog.konami.com/category/genesys/
