OCG SEGOC will still be in use when dueling with the OCG or OCG Genesys banlists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All future game updates will <strong>automatically update player&#8217;s Decks to replace Beta ID cards with real IDs once those are changed<\/strong>. This means no more changing your Decks once sets are released.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A new feature has been added to allow players to <strong>save Decks from Replays<\/strong> directly to their accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hidden information being revealed by the game log to both players<\/strong>, such as those by the effect of <code>Theorealize<\/code> that should only reveal them to the player that activated the card, are now fixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manga Artwork<\/strong> from the Original Artwork Collection set has been added into the game, joining Overframes as some of our unique card cosmetics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Various changes and fixes have been done to the <strong>in-game Wiki<\/strong>. The wiki is now accessible by clicking on card names at the top, showing what sets cards are released in, related cards, and additional information!\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the future we plan to update this page further to show additional information, including card rulings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Deck Shuffling<\/strong> <strong>Animation on mobile<\/strong> no longer move the entire field, which previously caused a disorienting effect to the player.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improvements have been made the lobby code which will prevent users from <strong>timing out due to inactivity<\/strong>, which previously caused issues with the Deckbuilder and Profile pages when they sat idle too long before being interacted with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>in-game card menu no longer inverts when being opened towards the bottom of a card<\/strong>. Additionally, the menu will now persist even if the mouse is moved slightly away from it, improving the responsiveness of the UI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>English Strings<\/strong> are now used for all languages when native strings aren&#8217;t available. Previously, when playing in other languages without strings, they would show as <code>[missing string]<\/code>, making it unclear what option was what. Please keep in mind if no English string is available, then the strings will remain blank, which mainly affects Beta cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hints <\/strong>are now displayed if a card is affected by another card&#8217;s effect when hovering over it with your mouse (for example, when link summoning a monster with the effect of <code>\"I:P Masquerena\"<\/code>, it will now show that the monster summoned cannot be destroyed by your opponent&#8217;s card effects).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Similarly, when a player is under the effect of a card such as <code>\"Time-Tearing Morganite\"<\/code>, or <code>\"Fydraulis Harmonia\"<\/code>, <strong>hovering over their avatar<\/strong> will display these effects. Please note not all cards may display this, due to issues with how they are scripted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Replays<\/strong> are now saved for <strong>Manual Mode<\/strong> games.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hovering the mouse over the Extra Deck<\/strong> will now display a written list of the contents of the Extra Deck, similar to what occurs when hovering over the GY or Banishment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Game Log<\/strong> will now properly display whether a card has been <strong>banished face-up or face-down<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An issue that made cards banished appear as <code>\"A Card\"<\/code> in the game log has been fixed, and will now display the card name properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An issue that made the game freeze when using an effect that declares card names like <code>\"Prohibition\"<\/code> in Retro Formats has been fixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An issue where cards banished face-down in Manual Mode did not properly display the card image has been fixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We&#8217;ve also released a slew of <strong>improvements to our manual mode<\/strong>. These include adding a new method for Xyz Summoning to attach materials on top of existing materials, fixing the &#8220;Shuffle S\/T&#8221; function to no longer shuffle pendulums in the Pendulum Zone, no longer displaying the right EMZ&#8217;s stats inverted, no longer keeping the top card of the Deck revealed if the Deck is not shuffled after being viewed, properly logging when cards are revealed instead of displaying <code>\"A Card\"<\/code>, and other related QOL fixes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-ghostkit-sr=\"fade\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" data-ghostkit-sr=\"fade\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"257\" height=\"253\" data-id=\"59736\" src=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1.png 257w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1-48x47.png 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 100vw, 257px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"301\" data-id=\"59740\" src=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2.png 513w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-48x28.png 48w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/2-500x293.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"259\" data-id=\"59738\" src=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3.png 656w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-500x197.png 500w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/3-46x18.png 46w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"434\" data-id=\"59739\" src=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/4.png 499w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/4-300x261.png 300w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/4-47x41.png 47w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"431\" data-id=\"59737\" src=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/5.png 473w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/5-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/duelingnexus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/5-47x43.png 47w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"new-retro-formats-now-available\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-ghostkit-sr=\"fade\">Mobile Deckbuilder Overhaul<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" data-ghostkit-sr=\"fade\">The <strong>mobile Deckbuilder<\/strong> has been rebuilt from the ground-up to support Android, iOS, Chromebooks, tablets, and other devices!
