The Duelist Genesis is the first booster to include the exciting new Synchro and Tuner Monsters. Here is a summary of the rules for using these new cards:

Synchro Monsters have a White card border. Synchro Monsters go in your Extra Deck – they do not go in your Main Deck (see below).

In order to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, you need 1 Tuner monster (look for “Tuner” next to its Type). The Tuner Monster and other face-up monsters you use for the Synchro Summon are called Synchro Material Monsters. The sum of their Levels is the Level of Synchro Monster you can Summon.

To Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster:

1. Have a Tuner monster and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters face-up on the field.
2. Make sure the Levels of the monsters you want to use add up exactly to the Level of the Synchro Monster you want to Summon. (You don’t have to use all your monsters.)
3. Send the Tuner and the other monsters you are using to your Graveyard.
4. Special Summon the Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck

You can use Tokens as Synchro Material Monsters.

You can Synchro Summon while “Dimensional Fissure,” etc., is active.


After a Synchro Monster has been Synchro Summoned, if it is sent from the field to the Graveyard it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with “Monster Reborn,” etc.

Additionally, some game terms have changed:

The Fusion Deck is now called the Extra Deck.
Not just for Fusion Monsters anymore, you can also include the new white-framed Synchro Monster Cards in this Deck. The Extra Deck still uses all the same rules as the Fusion Deck. You can include up to 3 copies of a card in your Extra Deck.

“Multi-Trigger” Effect Monster effects are now called “Quick Effects.”
This is a change in terminology to help players better identify and understand this category of monster effects. There are no rules changes to how any cards are played.

The contents of this document are structured as follows:

Card Name

Card Number (Card Type)

[Card Text]


Turbo Booster

TDGS-EN001 (Machine / Effect)

[If you have Normal Summoned a monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can Tribute this card to destroy 1 monster your opponent controls that battled one of your monsters this turn.]

"Turbo Booster" can only be Special Summoned by its effect during your own Main Phases.

"Turbo Booster's" second effect is an Ignition Effect that you can activate during your Main Phase 2. Tributing "Turbo Booster" is a cost. This effect targets your opponent's monster.

If you Special Summon "Turbo Booster" during your Main Phase 2 you can still activate its second effect.


Quillbolt Hedgehog

TDGS-EN003 (Machine / Effect)

[If you control a face-up Tuner monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If this card was Summoned this way, remove it from play when it is removed from the field.]

"Quillbolt Hedgehog's" Special Summon effect is an Ignition Effect.

If an effect is chained that removes your only Tuner monster from your side of the field, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not Special Summoned.

If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is flipped face-down after it is Special Summoned by its effect, it is not removed from play when it is removed from the field, even if it is flipped face-up.

If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is Special Summoned by its effect and is later removed from the field while "Skill Drain" is active, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is still removed from play.

If you Special Summon "Quillbolt Hedgehog" with its effect and afterwards remove it from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter," "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not returned to the field in the End Phase.


Ghost Gardna

TDGS-EN004 (Warrior / Effect)

[When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can change the target to this card. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, 1 face-up monster your opponent controls loses 1000 ATK, until the End Phase.]

"Ghost Gardna's" second effect targets 1 of your opponent's monsters.

If a "Ghost Gardna" in your hand or Deck is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard, its effect activates.


Shield Warrior

TDGS-EN005 (Warrior / Effect)

[During damage calculation, you can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to prevent monsters you control from being destroyed by this battle.]

"Shield Warrior's" effect is a Quick Effect. Removing "Shield Warrior" from play is a cost. This effect does not target.

You cannot activate "Shield Warrior's" effect if your monster would not be destroyed by the battle.


Small Piece Golem

TDGS-EN006 (Rock / Effect)

[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Medium Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]

If "Small Piece Golem" is Special Summoned during the Damage Step, you can activate its effect.

If an effect is chained that removes your only "Big Piece Golem" from the field, "Medium Piece Golem" is still Special Summoned.


Medium Piece Golem

TDGS-EN007 (Rock / Effect)

[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Small Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]

If "Medium Piece Golem" is Special Summoned during the Damage Step, you can activate its effect.


Sinister Sprocket

TDGS-EN009 (Fiend / Tuner)

[If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a DARK Synchro Monster, you can destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card.]

When "Sinister Sprocket" is used as a Synchro Material Monster, if the Synchro Monster becomes a DARK monster when it is Synchro Summoned (due to "DNA Transplant", etc.), you can activate "Sinister Sprocket's" effect.


Twin-Shield Defender

TDGS-EN011 (Warrior / Effect)

[When this card you control is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard, you can halve the current ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase.]

"Twin-Shield Defender's" effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.

"Twin-Shield Defender" halves the current ATK of the targeted monster, including any gains and/or losses from effects.

Example 1: "Sangan" equipped with "Axe of Despair" has 2000 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" it will have 1000 ATK.

Example 2: "Sangan's" original ATK is halved by "Shrink" to 500 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender", it will have 250 ATK.

If "Rush Recklessly" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, the ATK gained from "Rush Recklessly" is not halved.

If "Shrink" or "Megamorph" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect disappears.

Example 1: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards its original ATK is halved by "Shrink", it will have 500 ATK.

Example 2: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", it will have 500 ATK or 2000 ATK (depending on Life Points).


Jutte Fighter

TDGS-EN012 (Warrior / Tuner)

"Handcuffs Dragon’s" effect does not target when it is activated. However, while equipped to a monster it targets the equipped monster.

If "Handcuffs Dragon" becomes equipped to a monster with its effect, "Tailor of the Fickle" cannot be used to equip it to another monster.


Montage Dragon

TDGS-EN014 (Dragon / Effect)

[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 other monsters from your hand to the Graveyard. This card's ATK is equal to the combined Levels of the sent monsters x 300.]

You cannot Special Summon "Montage Dragon" while "Macro Cosmos" or "Dimensional Fissure", etc. is face-up on the field because you cannot send Monster Cards from your hand to the Graveyard.

If you send a WATER monster from your hand to the Graveyard while "A Legendary Ocean" is active, the original Level of the monster is used and not the reduced Level.

If "Montage Dragon" is flipped face-down by "Book of Moon", etc., when it is flipped face-up its ATK is 0.

If "Skill Drain" is active while "Montage Dragon" is face-up on the field, its ATK becomes 0. If "Skill Drain" is later negated or removed from the field, its ATK remains 0.

Paying 500 Life Points is a maintenance cost.


Psychic Commander

TDGS-EN020 (Psychic / Tuner)

[When a Psychic-Type monster you control battles, during the Damage Step you can pay Life Points in multiples of 100 (max. 500) to have the monster it's battling lose that much ATK and DEF, until the End Phase.]

[If a Psychic-Type monster would be destroyed, you can pay 500 Life Points and destroy this card instead.]

Paying 500 Life Points is a cost.

You pay 500 Life Points and destroy "Telekinetic Shocker" when a face-up Psychic-Type monster on the field would be destroyed, including a Psychic-Type monster your opponent controls. This effect does not use the Chain.

If 2 or more face-up Psychic-Type monsters would be destroyed by the same effect, you can destroy "Telekinetic Shocker" instead and the Psychic-Type monsters are not destroyed. If "Telekinetic Shocker" will also be destroyed by the same effect, you cannot use its effect.


Destructotron

TDGS-EN023 (Psychic / Effect)

[During the End Phase, if this card is the only Psychic-Type monster you control, destroy it. You can pay 1000 Life Points to destroy 1 face-down Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls.]

"Gladiator Beast Equeste's" effect targets 1 "Gladiator Beast" card in your Graveyard.

[During the End Phase, if a card(s) was sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of a "Lightsworn" card this turn, inflict 500 damage to your opponent and gain 500 Life Points.]

"Jenis, Lightsworn Mender's" effect only activates once during the End Phase, even if cards were sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by the effects of multiple "Lightsworn" monsters.

If "Jenis, Lightsworn Mender" is Summoned after card(s) are sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of a "Lightsworn" Monster, "Jenis, Lightsworn Mender's" effect still activates in the End Phase.

The damage and Life Point gain with "Jenis, Lightsworn Mender" happen at the same time, so it is possible to start a new Chain with "Numinous Healer" or "Attack and Receive", etc.


Mecha Bunny

TDGS-EN027 (Machine / Effect)

[When this card is flipped face-up, select 1 card on the field and inflict 500 damage to its controller. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Mecha Bunny" from your Deck in face-down Defense Position.]

If you activate "Dark Hunter's" "5 or more" effect and an effect is chained that reduces the number of DARK monsters in your Graveyard to 4 or less, "Dark Hunter's" effect still resolves.

While "Skill Drain" is active, all of "Dark Hunter's" effects are negated because the primary effect, "This card's effect changes depending on the number of DARK monsters in your Graveyard", is negated.


Kinka-Byo

TDGS-EN034 (Beast / Spirit)

[This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from your Graveyard. When this card is removed from the field, remove from play that monster.]

"Kinka-Byo's" effect targets 1 Level 1 monster in your Graveyard and continues to target it while it is on the field.

Removing the Special Summoned monster from play when "Kinka-Byo" is removed from the field does not start a Chain.

When "Kinka-Byo" is flipped face-down its effect disappears. If it is flipped face-up and Special Summons another Level 1 monster, when it is removed from the field only the newly Special Summoned Level 1 monster is removed from play. The previously Special Summoned Level 1 monster remains on the field.

If you Special Summon "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool" with "Kinka-Byo's" effect and the coin toss for "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool" is heads, "Kinka-Byo's" effect is negated and it is destroyed. "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool" remains on the field.

"Multiple Piece Golem's" effect is a Trigger Effect. It does not target.

"Multiple Piece Golem" is returned to the Extra Deck when its effect resolves. Returning it is not a cost.


Nitro Warrior

TDGS-EN039 (Warrior / Synchro / Effect)

["Nitro Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

Once during each of your turns, if you activated a Spell Card, this card gains 1000 ATK during its next attack, for damage calculation only. Once per turn, if this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can change 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls to Attack Position, and attack it with this card.]

If the Spell Card is activated before "Nitro Warrior" is Summoned, "Nitro Warrior" does not gain 1000 ATK during its next attack.

"Nitro Warrior's" second effect targets 1 of your opponent's face-up Defense Position monsters.

"Nitro Warrior's" second effect activates at the end of the Damage Step, when monsters destroyed by battle are sent to the Graveyard. If you activate this effect you will return to the Battle Step and attack the selected monster with "Nitro Warrior".

If "Nitro Warrior's" second effect is used to attack again, cards like "Sakuretsu Armor" can be activated when the additional attack is declared.

If "Toll" is active, "Nitro Warrior's" controller pays 500 Life Points when they declare the additional attack.


Stardust Dragon

TDGS-EN040 (Dragon / Synchro / Effect)

[1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

You can Tribute this card to negate the activation of a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card. If you negate an effect this way, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard during the End Phase.]

Tributing "Stardust Dragon" is a cost to activate its effect.

"Stardust Dragon's" first effect can be activated during the Damage Step.

"Stardust Dragon's" effects do not target.

"Stardust Dragon's" effect can be chained to the effect of a Continuous Spell or Trap Card, like "Blaze Cannon" or "Skull Lair".

"Stardust Dragon's" first effect cannot be chained to an effect that may or may not destroy card(s) on the field, like "Barrel Dragon" or "Snipe Hunter".

If "Crush Card Virus" is activated and there is a face-up monster on the field that will be destroyed, "Stardust Dragon's" effect can be chained.

If "Royal Oppression's" effect is activated to negate the Special Summon of a monster, like "Cyber Dragon" or "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because the monster being Special Summoned is not considered to be "on the field" until its Summon is successful.

"Stardust Dragon's" second effect can only be chained to an effect that will destroy card(s) on the field. For example, if "Night Assailant" second effect is activated when it is discarded, "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because this effect does not destroy card(s) on the field.

If "Stardust Dragon" is removed from play when its first effect is activated (by “Banisher of the Light,” etc.), or it is removed from the Graveyard after its first effect is activated, it cannot be Special Summoned with its effect during the End Phase.

If you Special Summon "Stardust Dragon" during the End Phase and your opponent activates "Torrential Tribute," you can chain "Stardust Dragon's" first effect to negate "Torrential Tribute". If you do, you can Special Summon "Stardust Dragon" again during the same End Phase.

If the Defense Position monster attacked by "Red Dragon Archfiend" is changed to Attack Position before damage calculation with "Final Attack Orders", etc., "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect does not activate.

If "Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks a Defense Position "Giant Rat," etc., and destroys it with its effect, "Giant Rat's" effect does not activate because it is destroyed by "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect before it would be sent to the Graveyard by battle.

If the attack of one of your monsters is negated, with "Magic Cylinder", etc., the monster is destroyed by "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect in your End Phase.

“Red Dragon Archfiend’s” second effect will activate during each of your End Phases, even if every monster you control has attacked.

Fighting Spirit

TDGS-EN045 (Equip Spell Card)

[The equipped monster gains 300 ATK for each monster your opponent controls. If it would be destroyed by battle, you can destroy this card instead.]

Destroying "Fighting Spirit" when the equipped monster would be destroyed does not use the Chain.

"Fighting Spirit" is destroyed when the equipped monster would be sent to the Graveyard by battle. If this effect is used, "Fighting Spirit" will not be on the field at the end of the Damage Step and could not be targeted by effects that activate at the end of the Damage Step.

If a Synchro Material Monster used in the Synchro Summon is removed from the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned with "De-Synchro", even if it is returned to the Graveyard.

Lightwave Tuning

TDGS-EN050 (Normal Spell Card)

[Select 1 Level 4 LIGHT monster you control. It is treated as a Tuner monster while it is face-up on the field.]

If a LIGHT Union monster is also treated as a Tuner monster with "Lightwave Tuning", when the Union monster is equipped to another monster it is no longer treated as a Tuner monster. If it is Special Summoned during the same turn, it is still not treated as a Tuner monster.

If you control your opponent's Spirit Monster and you equip it with "Sword of Kusanagi", when the Spirit Monster is returned to your opponent's hand and "Sword of Kusanagi" is destroyed, its second effect activates.

If you add your opponent's "Sword of Kusanagi" to your hand with "Exchange" and equip it to a Spirit Monster you control, when the Spirit Monster is returned to its owner's hand and "Sword of Kusanagi" is destroyed, "Sword of Kusanagi's" effect does not activate.

If your opponent activates a Field Spell Card and your "Geartown" is destroyed, you can activate its effect.

If you control "Geartown" and you activate a new Field Spell Card, you cannot activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed because it misses the timing. However, if you Set a new Field Spell Card, you can activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed.


Power Filter

TDGS-EN058 (Continuous Spell Card)

[Neither player can Special Summon monsters with 1000 or less ATK.]

Even if a monster's ATK would become more than 1000 after it is Special Summoned, you cannot Special Summon it while "Power Filter" is active.

Monsters with 1000 or less ATK cannot be Special Summoned face-down with "The Shallow Grave", etc.

Monsters with "?" ATK can be Special Summoned.


Lightsworn Sabre

TDGS-EN059 (Equip Spell Card)

[Equip only to a "Lightsworn" monster. It gains 700 ATK. When this card is sent from your Deck to your Graveyard, you can equip it to 1 "Lightsworn" monster you control.]

If "Lightsworn Sabre" is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard to pay a cost its effect cannot be activated.


Unstable Evolution

TDGS-EN060 (Equip Spell Card)

[While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's original ATK becomes 2400. While your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, its original ATK becomes 1000.]

"Unstable Evolution" changes the equipped monster's original ATK. If the equipped monster is targeted by "Shrink", its original ATK determined by "Unstable Evolution" is halved.

When determining the equipped monster's ATK, apply the effect of "Unstable Evolution" and then apply any other ATK gains and losses.

If the equipped monster gains 700 ATK with "Rush Recklessly" and afterwards "Unstable Evolution" is removed from the field or negated, etc., the monster's original ATK returns to normal and "Rush Recklessly" is reapplied.

If the equipped monster is also equipped with "Megamorph", first determine its new original ATK due to "Unstable Evolution" and then halve or double it with "Megamorph".

If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to "King of the Skull Servants", "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK becomes the value determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK is determined by its effect.

If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to "Megarock Dragon", its original ATK becomes the value determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "Megarock Dragon's" original ATK is determined by its own effect.

If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to a "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" that was Normal Summoned or Set without Tributes, its original ATK is determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast's" ATK becomes halved to 1400.

The monster equipped with "Unstable Evolution" is not destroyed by "Overworked", because "Unstable Evolution" changes the monster original ATK to a new value. The monster will be destroyed if another effect increases its ATK.

If you activate "Equip Shot" during your Battle Phase, your monster is the attacker. If you activate it during your opponent's Battle Phase, your opponent's monster is the attacker.

If an effect is chained that switches the monster that would be the attacker into Defense Position, the selected Equip Card is still transferred but the battle is not conducted, unless the monster can attack while in Defense Position like "Total Defense Shogun".
