Konami has dropped a large number of Yu-Gi-Oh cards to single-digit points in the latest OCG GENESYS Point List Adjustment, effective October 1st, 2026. The changes touch everything from Trap cards to monster cards.

The Cards That Fell Farthest

Some cards took big cuts. Here is a selection of the largest drops:

Card Original Points New Points
Sinful, Snake-Eyes 100 75
Kewl Tune Crackle 0 70
One for One 91 66
Fairy Tail – Snow 85 60
Fydraulis Harmonia 0 50
Kewl Tune Rotary 0 40
Elfnote Regina 0 40
Kewl Tune B2B 0 40
Necrovalley 40 35
Pot of Greed 38 33
Chaos Space 40 30
Emergency Teleport 35 30
Dark Magical Curtains 0 30
Return from the Different Dimension 40 30

The Sinful, Snake-Eyes drop from 100 to 75 is the biggest visible change. Kewl Tune Crackle moves from zero to 70, which is a massive jump for a card that was previously unranked.

What Changed and Why

The adjustment reduces how much cards cost in terms of deckbuilding points. A card with a low point value can still be played; it just costs less to include.

The pattern is consistent across the list. Most cards that were previously 20 or higher are now in single digits. This includes cards like Pot of Greed, which dropped from 38 to 33, and Necrovalley, which fell from 40 to 35.

Some cards moved from zero to a small number, like Kewl Tune Crackle and Kewl Tune B2B, which both went from zero to 40. Others, like Elfnote Regina, also went from zero to 40.

The Cards That Survived

Not everything fell. Some cards stayed where they were or moved only slightly.

What This Means for Players

The practical effect is that decks will be cheaper to build. Players can now include more cards without hitting the maximum point limit. That opens space for new strategies and combinations.

The adjustment changes how cards are priced in terms of deckbuilding points. Players can now include more cards without hitting the maximum point limit, which opens space for new combinations.

The cards that survived stayed where they were or moved only slightly. The cards that fell farthest took the biggest cuts.

For players, the practical takeaway is simple: rebuild your decks around the new point values. The game is unchanged; the pricing has just shifted.

This is a straightforward adjustment, and it works in the game’s favor.
