Tag Force 2 Anime-Only Cards
As with every Tag Force game before and after it, anime-exclusive cards were released for Tag Force 2. The Arcana Force monsters were released in Light of Destruction, so only the ones not yet released are listed here; however, many of them were presented as anime-originals in Tag Force 2 since LOD wasn't released at a time.

Anime-original cards from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force'' are present but not listed here.

Destiny Draw System
When a player is about to lose a Duel, they can activate the new Destiny Draw system. It will randomly draw a card from the preset Destiny Cards instead of the normal draw. Up to 5 cards can be set as Destiny Cards in the Deck Edit screen. You can only use it once in a single duel. When you can edit your partner's Deck, you can change their Destiny Cards.

If you have used the effect of a card that places it on the top of the Deck such as Malevolent Nuzzler and you activate the Destiny Draw system, you will draw the Destiny Card, then draw the card that was placed on top of the Deck the next time you draw.

Playable Characters
When you start a fresh new game, you can only choose Page 1 characters as a Tag-Duel partner. Once you have completed the Story Mode you can skip the Starting Story Event; also you are now allowed to choose among one of the Page 2 or 3 characters, provided you had beat them in Duel (during the Story mode or in Free Duel) at least 10 times. (Any character dueled at least once becomes available in Free Duel!)

Story Mode

 * When you start a new Story Game, you choose one of the Page 1 characters as a Tag-Duel partner. Then you can watch him or her duel for you, duel alone in a classic one-on-one duel or duel in a tag duel.
 * To progress further a character story, you need to fill your Tag Partner's hearts (they appear on the top right corner). Each time you battle (alone or in tag duel) his/her hearts will fill. You can also spend 500 DP to buy a sandwich at the Store. The Golden Egg Sandwich gives a full current heart to whoever you tag with. Check the Sandwich FAQ to know what kind of Sandwhich a character likes or dislike.
 * Each time a Heart is completed, you need to exit the map and go on the yellow Exclamation Mark to duel and advance the story. Save before in case you have a bad deck, because if you lose the duel you lose unsaved data, and you cannot edit your deck(s) during the event duel. Although, if you lose the duel you can retry again as many times you want (losses will be added to you win/loss ratio though).
 * The first four events are common to each character. Fifth to eigth are specifics for any of the Page 1 Characters. Any student/teacher chosen from the Second and Third Tiers as partner will lead you to completely different events.
 * Characters you have to defeat during those Story Events use a different deck than the usual they use when you encounter them on the field otherwise. Also, characters use a powered up version of their deck once your complete your Partner's Fourth heart Story Event.
