[BAN]

There are two ways in which to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG – one is to play by the Traditional Format, which ignores the Ban list, and the other is to play by the Advanced Format. In order to build an Advanced Deck, Duelists must adhere to the entire list for the deck to be Tournament Legal.

This is the current Ban List, which came into effect on 1 June 2007. It was taken from here.
