Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG list reportedly forbids six cards, limits two
Part 1 of the October Forbidden & Limited List reportedly takes effect Monday October 19, 2026, and includes Called By the Grave.
The October Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Forbidden & Limited List, Part 1, reportedly takes effect Monday October 19, 2026. Six cards move to Forbidden and two are listed as Limited.
What happened
The list was revealed on the YCS Houston 2026 stream. YCS stands for Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series.
The six cards moving to Forbidden are Amorphage Sloth, Amorphage Goliath, Aerial Eater, Albion the Branded Dragon, Zenna's Deceiving Doll Maidens, and Called By the Grave.
The two Limited entries are Droll & Lock Bird and Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon.
An OCG-only card arrives at Limited
Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon is an OCG-only card, yet it is being released at Limited in the TCG. That has not happened since Sixth Sense appeared on the October 2013 Forbidden & Limited list.
Confirmation status
The details are classed as reported, not confirmed by an official publisher source.
Why it matters
Six cards move to Forbidden in Part 1, and the changes take effect Monday October 19, 2026. Players who rely on any of the named cards will need to adjust their decks by then. Called By the Grave is among the six, so the removal reaches beyond the Amorphage, Albion, and Zenna's cards.
TCGKing's coverage of IMMORTAL PHOENIX, reportedly due 2026-10-31, covers a different product and is not linked to these list changes in the available reporting.
