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:
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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/

Join us at Gnome Games Green Bay West for our Union Arena: SAKAMOTO DAYS [UE19BT] Release Event!
Step into the wild and thrilling world of Sakamoto Days with our Union Arena: SAKAMOTO DAYS [UE19BT] Release Event!
- Tuesday, May 26th
- $30.00 Entry
- 6:00PM

Join in the fun with the release of Sakamoto Days in a 3 round Swiss style Tournament! Players will open 5 packs of Sakamoto Days and use them as a deck to compete in matches. Each round won awards players with an additional pack! Each participant gets a Release Event Pack and a promotional card. One Winner will get a special Winner foil stamped promotional card!
How does Deckbuilding Work?
Because of how sealed events operate, decks can have more than four cards with the same card number. It can also contain more than four of each of the Special, Color, and Final trigger types. 5 booster packs contribute to creating as close to a 60 card deck as possible. A deck needs 3 Action Point cards, Raids can be performed using cards with two different colors, and five Special triggers can be in a deck. Bring your own sleeves from home or purchase some before the event!
For 5 Pack Battle Rules, Check HERE for more info!

Join us at Gnome Games Green Bay West and play some Flesh and Blood!
We’re playing Classic Constructed each week: Wednesdays at 5pm. $7 entry Win a match, Win a pack played over 3 rounds!
- Matches: First to 1 win
- Round Time: 55 minutes
In Classic Constructed, each player registers their non-young hero card and 80 cards that make up their card-pool. The card-pool includes arena-cards (weapons, equipment, etc.), and deck-cards that will start in the player’s deck.
A card can only be included in a Player’s card-pool if the card’s class/talents are a subset of the hero’s class/talents (e.g. a Light talent card can only be included in a card-pool if the hero has a Light talent). Generic cards can be included in any card-pool.
A card-pool may contain up to 3 copies of each unique card. A card is unique if it has a different name AND pitch value from another card. (e.g. Sink Below (red) is unique compared to Sink Below (blue) because they have different pitch values)
These rules are subject to the effects of the hero or cards in the card-pool, which may allow or limit what cards can be included. (e.g. Heroes with “Essence” allow certain talented cards to be included, even if the hero doesn’t have the same talent. Cards with “Legendary” limit themselves to only 1 in the card-pool.)
