Trinity uses the same rulings as the TCG, but with these additional rules.
These rules are designed with both balance and interaction in mind.
Summon Limit
You can't Normal/Special Summon more than 3 Effect Monsters
each turn.​
​
-
Non-Effect monsters don't count towards the Limit.​​
-
Flip Summoning and Setting for your Normal Summon don't count, either.
​
Highlander
By default, there can be only one copy of each card in your
Main, Extra, and Side Deck.
​
-
Some cards (mostly cards which require additional copies of themselves to function) are exempt from this rule.
Here's the list of those cards.
​
Points List
The minimum Maindeck size is 30.
For every 5 cards above that, you get 1 Point. You can spend points to include 1 of these in your Deck:
​
-
1 One-Point card.
-
2 Different Half-Point cards.
-
An extra copy of any 1 unlimited card.
Here's the list of Pointed Cards.
​
​
With these changes, what do Decks look like?
Here's an example Decklist!
​
-
Most cards in this deck are 1-ofs.
-
However, this deck has extra copies of some Normal Monsters, as Normal Monsters are exempt from the Highlander Rule!
​
-
This deck is 45 cards.
The builder went 15 cards over the 30-card minimum.
For every 5 cards over, they get 1 point, so this is a 3-point Deck. -
That's why this deck has an extra Adamancipator Analyzer
(as well as some half-point cards!)
​
what do Duels normally look like?
Here's a recent replay!
​
-
Note how both players can't summon more than 3 effect monsters per turn!
-
Also note how Normal Monsters aren't part of that limit!
