About Restricted Cards

「Allowing Players to play various titles」 is UNION ARENA’s first policy in terms of gameplay, in order to prevent significant bias in the results of official events, we set some cards that are included in decks as 「Restricted Cards」.

• *「Restricted Cards」 will be added to the rules of official and sanctioned events as [cards limited to 1 copy in a deck].
• *Judgment is made based on the win rate, event performance, usage rate, etc.

We are now considering the inclusion of cards with high usage rate in recent events from the deck that is more commonly known as 「Blue Sukuna」 from the title 「JUJUTSU KAISEN」.
If it is determined to be necessary, 1-2 types of cards used in this deck will be restricted.

Other that the data up to date, we also referenced the performance of the deck from the 「UNION ARENA -CHAMPIONSHIP2023- JAPAN FINAL」 on February 12, the 「UNION ARENA -CHAMPIONSHIP2023- WORLD FINAL」 on Saturday, March 2, we will also be referencing the performance and usage of the deck in the 「UNION ARENA -3on3-」 on Sunday, March 3.

Furthermore, moving forward, we plan to continue using 「Restricted Cards」 based on the results of the events.
Please note that restrictions may also be lifted due to new environments brought in by new participating titles and expansions in the future.

Regarding these restrictions, we plan to announce and implement them based on the following schedule.
