Yu-Gi-Oh!: The February Banlist has been Updated!

The latest update for competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! formats has just been published by Konami this Monday, 6th of February.

New cards were added to the "Limited" and "Banned" categories, which means some were restricted to 1 copy in deck, and some cannot be used at all. This update hits the Tearlaments archetype quite heavily, and fans were left wondering if it will be enough to lower its power level. Around 10 cards were added:

Banned

Tearlaments Kitkallos

Spright Elf

Limited

Agido the Ancient Sentinel

Kelbek the Ancient Vanguard

Keldo the Sacred Protector

Mudora the Sword Oracle

Tearlaments Havnis

Tearlaments Merli

Tearlaments Scheiren

In addition, some cards left the banlist, which means they are now available to use freely.
