Changes: Fight Formats

Revision as of 17:50, 2 August 2020

Fight Formats are the different modes in which a Cardfight!! Vanguard game can be played. Each format provides rules for deck construction, and unless otherwise specified, the Standard Fight Rules are also applied.

Official Tournaments

Clan Fight regulations and Card Restrictions are applied in all official tournaments. There are two official tournament formats:

Standard

Only cards belonging to the "V Series" era may be used. This is indicated on cards with the symbol in their collection information (see this list for all such cards). Cards with the collection IDs VPR/0001, V-SD01/### and V-SD02/### are treated as having the symbol.

Premium Standard

All cards that have been printed so far may be used.

Special Formats

Pack Fight

Players open sealed booster packs and build decks using only cards they get from there, then play cardfights using those decks.

Relay Fight

Main article: Relay Fight Rules

A cardfight consisting of teams 3 vs 3. Each team picks one of their members to begin fighting each other, and when one of them loses, they are eliminated and one of their teammates takes over the fight in their place. The first team to have all three of their members eliminated loses.

Tag Fight

Main article: Tag Fight Rules

A cardfight consisting of teams 2 vs 2, where each team sits together on one side of the table. Damage is shared between teammates; the first team to get to 9 damage loses.

Flash Fight

A main deck consists of 25 cards.
Only 4 damage is needed to win the game.
Only 8 trigger units are allowed per deck, including a maximum of 2 heal triggers.

Draft Fight

Players open sealed booster packs and take turns selecting cards from the packs to build decks.

Main article: Booster Draft

Character Fight

These are single-player cardfights where the opponent's deck is simulated using dice rolls.

Historical Formats

G Standard

Introduced alongside Standard and Premium Standard when they became the new regulations, and announced to be officially supported for a limited time only. A few tournaments were held and a few prize cards were given for this format until it was discontinued.
Only cards originally released during the "G series" era and earlier may be used (reprints of these cards that were released after the G series era may also be used). Cards with the icon may not be used.
This format was officially discontinued on October 30, 2018.
