Announcement

BT16 Banned/Limited/Errata Card Updates

Greetings, DBSCG fans.
Thank you for your continued support of the Dragon Ball Super Card Game in 2022! With the release of UW07 -Realm of Gods-, we are updating the Banned, Limited, and Errata Card lists. Reflecting on the 2021 competitive season – including tournament results, internal testing, and community feedback – we have concluded that these adjustments will help facilitate a fresh, diverse metagame in the new year, as well as more fun for you, the players.

For the release of -Realm of the Gods-, we are adding 3 cards to the Banned Cards List, 1 addition to the Limited List, and 5 additions to the Errata list.

Banned Cards

Reason:
This card provides disproportionate advantage for Leader Cards that can send cards directly from Deck to Warp in large quantities. Since this card is rarely used outside of such interactions, we’ve decided to ban this card.

Reason:
This card creates a powerful game-ending ability for any deck, with low potential for opponent interaction. Additionally, newer cards have bolstered this card's power more than originally intended. In order to encourage strategies based on new card types, and improve overall player enjoyment, we’ve decided to ban this card.

Reason:
This card is a non-interactive Leader with a longstanding presence in competitive play. In order to encourage strategies based on new card types, and improve overall player enjoyment, we’ve decided to ban this card.

Limited Cards

Reason:
This card provides the following advantages at no cost: restricting opponent’s Battle Card and Unison-based strategies, drawing cards, and allowing the player to utilize effects that require resting a card. In order to properly balance this utility for Yellow decks, we’ve decided to limit this card to 1 copy per deck. 　　

Errata Cards

Reason:
This leader provides a draw advantage that significantly outpaces all other leaders, with no downside. In order to properly balance the selection of Yellow Leaders and overall metagame, we've decided to issue an errata for this card.

Back Pre-Errata Text:
[Activate:Main］[Once per turn] Draw 1 card, then play up to 1 yellow skill-less Battle Card with an energy cost of 1 from your Drop Area.
[Activate:Battle][Once per turn] When this card is in a battle, if there is a “Monster” card in your Combo Area, draw 1 card.

Post-Errata Text:
[Activate:Main][Once per turn]:Draw 1 card, then play up to 1 yellow skill-less Battle Card with an energy cost of 1 from your Drop Area.
[Activate:Battle][Once per turn] When this card is in a battle, if it’s your turn and there is a “Monster” card in your Combo Area, draw 1 card.

Reason:
This card’s second [Auto] ability has proven overly oppressive; preventing opponents from forming defense strategies while multiple copies are in play. In order to properly balance this card, we've decided to issue an erratum adding [Unique].

Pre-Errata Text:
[Deflect]
[Auto] Add 1 card from your life to your hand : When this card attacks, it gets +10000 power for the turn.
[Auto][Once Per Turn] If your Leader Card is a black 《Saiyan》 card : When your opponent activates a [Counter] skill, they choose 1 card in their hand and send it to their Warp.

Post-Errata Text:
[Deflect][Unique]
[Auto] Add 1 card from your life to your hand : When this card attacks, it gets +10000 power for the turn.
[Auto][Once Per Turn] If your Leader Card is a black 《Saiyan》 card : When your opponent activates a [Counter] skill, they choose 1 card in their hand and send it to their Warp.

Reason:
This card’s -1 marker ability being usable by any Leader has led to undesirable interactions, as well as concerns for future card designs. Therefore, we've decided to issue an erratum to this card's -1 marker ability, while maintaining the previous errata from August 6, 2021.

Pre-Errata Text:
(-1) [Activate: Main] Your opponent sends 1 Battle Card from their Drop Area to their Warp; you place up to 2 《Dark Dragon Ball》 cards from your deck in your Drop Area, shuffle your deck, and draw 1 card.

Post-Errata Text:
(-1) [Activate: Main] Your Leader card is 〈Demon Realm Race〉 :
Your opponent sends 1 Battle Card from their Drop Area to their Warp; you place up to 2 《Dark Dragon Ball》cards from your deck in your Drop Area, shuffle your deck, and draw 1 card.

Reason:
The current text of this card prevents it from being played as intended.

BACK Pre-Errata Text:
[Activate Main][Once per turn]: Play up to 1 black Unison Card with no specified cost and 20000 power from your Drop Area with a marker on it in Rest Mode, and at the end of the turn, send that card its owner‘s Warp.

Post-Errata Text:
[Activate Main][Once per turn] (B): Play up to 1 black Unison Card with no specified cost and 20000 power from your Drop Area with a marker on it in Rest Mode, and at the end of the turn, send that card to its owner's Warp.

Reason:
The current text of this card prevents it from being played as intended.

FRONT Pre-Errata Text:
[Activate Battle][Once per turn] Choose up to 1 red or blue 《Saiyan》 card in your hand and discard it : Look at up to 3 cards from the top of your deck, add up to 1 ＜Son Goku : Br＞, ＜Vegeta : Br＞, or ＜Gogeta : Br＞ card among them to your hand, then place the remaining cards on top of your deck in any order.
