Banned/Restricted Cards
(last updated on 9th July 2012)
When a card is banned or restricted to use in tournaments, it will be listed on this page.
Card No: BT01/003EN , BT01/S03EN “Barcgal”
Starting from August 1, 2012, “Barcgal” (BT01/003EN and BT01/S03EN) cannot be used as a first Vanguard in all Bushiroad official and Bushiroad sanctioned English version tournaments. Up to four “Barcgal” can still be included in a deck as long as it is not used as a first Vanguard.
The reason for the restriction was because Royal Paladin decks using “Barcgal” as the first Vanguard was too powerful. With the release of booster pack “Demonic Lord Invasion” in August, the Royal Paladin decks’ power would be reinforced. Bushiroad felt that with one clan being too powerful, it would prevent fighters from wanting to play with the other clans, thus taking away the fun from tournament play. Therefore, with the release of the upcoming “Demonic Lord Invasion”, we have decided to take preemptive action.
Bushiroad wish to maintain a healthy tournament environment, and we thank you for your kind understanding on this matter.
