The upcoming Japan Championship 2026 has updated its list of "additional" tournament-only Forbidden cards, effective July 1st. These cards sit outside the standard OCG Forbidden/Limited list and are restricted only for specific tournaments — typically ones using best-of-3 match structures rather than single duels.
Current Tournament-Forbidden List
- Mystic Wok
- Emergency Provisions
- Rainbow Life
- Self-Destruct Button
- Tri-and-Guess
Newly Added (July 1st)
- One Day of Peace
- Ghost Sister & Spooky Dogwood
- Hallowed Life Barrier
For now, this restriction only applies to Japan Championship 2026 — it doesn't affect the regular OCG Forbidden/Limited list, though it could be extended to other tournament formats in the future.
