  +
'''Errata''' (Japanese: エラッタ ''Eratta'') are changes to any part of the text of a card (other than [[Card Number]]) that occur between [[reprint]]s.
−
'''Errata''' are changes to a card's description or effect wording, usually to make the card rulings easier to understand for the players. On rare occasions, an Errata will correct other things such as [[ATK]] or [[Attribute]].
 
   
  +
Errata can be made to a card for a variety of reasons, including to fix mistakes, to update a card's terminology, or to clarify the behavior of a card so that its rulings are easier to understand (such as [[Problem-Solving Card Text]]). Some errata specifically modify the card's functionality itself, usually as a way to make the card less powerful in order to remove it from the [[Forbidden]] list.
⚫
Players are not required to own the most recent erratum of a card, however they must always be played as if their text contained the newest erratum even if using an older copy of the card. Konami recommends using the most recent printing of a card, because that text is the most accurate.<ref>[http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/gameplay/errata/101105%20recent%20errata%20list%20-%20x.pdf Konami]: Errata</ref>

−
As a general rule, any card which is re-released in a booster pack will receive an errata. This is particularly true of very old cards introduced before [[Problem-Solving Card Text]].
 
   
  +
Some examples of errata are listed below.
−
In January 2015, several [[Forbidden]] cards including "[[Crush Card Virus]]", "[[Sinister Serpent]]" and "[[Temple of the Kings]]" received a previously-unseen form of errata; one where their effects were completely changed in order for them to be removed from being permanent fixtures on the Forbidden/Limited List.

==Lore==
−
There are several reasons why cards are given erratas. Some examples are listed below.
  
  +
===Including or excluding cards for an [[archetype]]===
  +
This is done when changing the card's name is undesirable, for marketing purposes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Fusion Enforcers is Now Available!|url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=8159|publisher=Yu-Gi-Oh!

===Major mechanical changes===
  +
Beginning in March 2014, cards can receive errata that make major mechanical changes to their effects, rather than simply having errors or consistency corrected. The vast majority of these are to cards that are [[Forbidden]] at the time of the erratum, weakening the cards enough so that they no longer need to be Forbidden.<ref>{{cite web|title=Updates: F&L Cards List, PGL2 Card Text, Rules for Winning During a Chain|url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=7038|publisher=Yu-Gi-Oh!

Revision as of 02:30, 11 December 2017

Errata (Japanese: エラッタ Eratta) are changes to any part of the text of a card (other than Card Number) that occur between reprints.

Errata can be made to a card for a variety of reasons, including to fix mistakes, to update a card's terminology, or to clarify the behavior of a card so that its rulings are easier to understand (such as Problem-Solving Card Text). Some errata specifically modify the card's functionality itself, usually as a way to make the card less powerful in order to remove it from the Forbidden list.

Players are not required to own the most recent erratum of a card, but they must always be played according to the latest erratum even if using an older copy of the card. Konami recommends using the most recent printing of a card, because that text is the most accurate.[1]

Some examples of errata are listed below.

Lore

Including or excluding cards for an archetype

This is done when changing the card's name is undesirable, for marketing purposes.[2]

Original First erratum
A fiend with dark powers for confusing the enemy. Among the Fiend-Type monsters, this monster boasts considerable force. A fiend with dark powers for confusing the enemy. Among the Fiend-Type monsters, this monster boasts considerable force.

Major mechanical changes

Beginning in March 2014, cards can receive errata that make major mechanical changes to their effects, rather than simply having errors or consistency corrected. The vast majority of these are to cards that are Forbidden at the time of the erratum, weakening the cards enough so that they no longer need to be Forbidden.[3][4]

Original First erratum
Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK. Check all monsters on your opponent's side of the field, your opponent's hand, and all cards they draw (until the end of your opponent's 3rd turn after this card's activation), and destroy all monsters with 1500 or more ATK. Tribute 1 DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK; your opponent takes no damage until the end of the next turn, also you look at your opponent's hand and all monsters they control, and if you do, destroy the monsters among them with 1500 or more ATK, then your opponent can destroy up to 3 monsters with 1500 or more ATK in their Deck.
