There's a new format for casual play that was announced on the official Japanese website. It's basically a constructed deck from one category only. The format will start being introduced as soon as the MASTERS Osaka event in Japan on August 27, 2017. From there on, we can probably start seeing the new format to be played as side events at future tournaments.

Rules for Building Decks
1. Create a 50-card deck with only "Category" cards. It is not possible to mix two or more categories.
2. The following six types of cards can be put in decks of all categories as special cases (up to three each can be put in).
【1-011C】 Evoker
【1-040C】 Summoner
【1-068C】 Evoker
【1-105C】 Evoker
【1-138C】 Summoner
【1-159C】 Evoker

· IV
· V
· VII
· VIII
· IX

· XIII
· XIV
· TYPE - 0
· FFT
· WOFF
* "DFF" "LOV" is excluded.
Special rules
1. All characters and summon beasts can play even if they do not contain the same attribute CP. However, if the payment of the cost is restricted by the ability of the card such as 【2-007L】 Emperor Xiande etc., it follows it.
This special rule applies only to playing cards, and the CP when launching Ability must be the attribute specified as usual.
Example 1
You can play the fire attributes [1-009C] cloud and 【1-190S】 Bahamut train with a total of 2CPs, one CP with one wind attribute and one CP with earth attribute.
Example 2
【1-191S】 4 special fire CP attributes are required to use the special ability "Cosmo memory" of Red XIII.
Example 3
【3-030L】 The second auto-ability of Kuja requires one CP with ice attribute.
2. It is possible to put two or more characters with the same name in the field. It can exist in both forward and backup. However, cards with the same number can not be issued.
Example
○: Forward [1-214 S] Yuna, 【2-138 L】 Yuna, Backup 【1-176 H】 Yuna are in the field at the same time
×: 2 in forward [2-138 L] Yuna, backup [1 -176H】 Yuna is in the field at the same time
※ For light and dark characters, 【1-184H】 chaos or 【1-183H】 cosmos, develop multiple characters of the same name (unless it is the same card number) Things are possible.
This rule makes it easy for decks to organize categories in which attributes of recorded characters are dispersed, and you can also enjoy a matchup that is different from ordinary construction game, such as having three "clouds" at the same time.
As more cards are added, the number of categories that can be assembled will increase further, so please enjoy all of this new way of playing by all means.
