Announcement

Banned/Limited/Errata Card Updates

Greetings, Dragon Ball Super Card Game fans.
On October 28, 2022, 2 banned cards, 1 limited card, and 5 errata cards will be added to the Banned/Limited/Errata Cards list.

Banned Cards

Card number Card name
BT8-110 SS4 Son Goku, A Heartfelt Plea

Reason:
The presence of BT8-110 SS4 Son Goku, A Heartfelt Plea has been monitored since it was first limited. Due to the higher power level of ZENKAI series cards making this card easier to play than ever before, we have decided to ban this card.

Card number Card name
DB3-015 King Piccolo, the New Ruler

Reason:
The presence of DB3-015 King Piccolo, the New Ruler has been monitored since it was first limited. In order to increase diversity in deck building, we have decided to ban this card.

Limited Cards

Card number Card name
BT10-008 Yamcha, Merciless Barrage

Reason:
BT10-008 Yamcha, Merciless Barrage inhibits the power level of decks aiming to play many Battle Cards, including several strategies present in ZENKAI series. In order to allow those decks to be playable, we are limiting this card.

Errata Cards

Card number Card name
BT1-053 Senzu Bean

Reason:
BT1-053 Senzu Bean has always been a powerful card in the Dragon Ball Super Card Game, but with the new interactions present in ZENKAI series, players are able to greatly extend their turn and play strength by switching energy to Active Mode on their turns. This change will allow BT1-053 to still be a very powerful defensive tool for Blue decks, while eliminating its offensive capabilities.

Pre-Errata Text:
[Activate: Battle] Choose up to 1 of your cards. It gains +5000 power for the duration of the turn. Then, choose up to 2 of your energy and switch them to Active Mode.

Post-Errata Text:
[Activate: Battle] If it's your opponent's turn : Choose up to 1 of your cards. It gains +5000 power for the duration of the turn. Then, choose up to 2 of your energy and switch them to Active Mode.

Card number Card name
BT11-030 Violent Rays

Reason:
When BT11-030 was released, few strategies revolved around attacking with multiple battle cards of 20000 power or more in a turn. Since the release of ZENKAI series, BT11-030 disrupts several deck strategies and has proven more powerful than intended. This change will still allow Red deck players to stop the highest-power attack plays, but not interfere with all strategies.

Card number Card name
BT18-052 Beerus, the Visitor
