CHAPTER 01

Four groups, 316 changes

Konami published a first-anniversary GENESYS point update on October 5, 2026. The announcement contains 93 point increases, 125 decreases, 28 cards receiving points for the first time and 70 cards returning to zero points.

This is a TCG GENESYS update, not a change to the TCG Advanced Forbidden & Limited List. GENESYS uses a 100-point standard cap, permits up to three copies of a card and does not use the standard Forbidden & Limited List; Link and Pendulum Monsters remain excluded under the format rules.

Twenty-eight cards receive points for the first time. Destiny HERO - Dark Angel, Ghostrick Angel of Mischief, Number C9: Chaos Dyson Sphere and XX-Saber Gottoms each move from zero to 100; Gem-Knight Master Diamond Dispersion begins at 80.
