Rule Compendium
Edison Format is played under the TCG 2008 rules — the same foundation modern Yu-Gi-Oh! is built on, minus a decade of changes. This compendium catalogues every rule that still differs, from priority and timing to card-specific interactions. Pick a topic from the list to read its ruling.
The Starting Player Draws a Card
In Edison Format, a card is drawn during the first draw phase of the duel. Thus, the player who goes first starts the duel with 6 cards.
