You can still use custom playmats if they either don't have artwork (like many cloth mats) or get a custom mat that has actual card art on it, but it covers the blanket of all lewd mats. It would still severely limit what accessories could be brought and would frankly still be criticized but it would still allow for custom mats, the only stipulation is that the only artwork that could be used would be things that Konami has direct oversight on.

This is just a scapegoat for a cash grab. As bad as players are,they have a level of competence at times especially in big tournaments to not use Inappropriate gear and risk the negative attention. Konami finally,after all these years,realized that the gear they put out just gets thrown in the trash and is a waste of their resources. This is their way of forcing the Yugioh community to buy licensed product in droves without directly saying it.

And they do say that they wanna not waste judge resources on things like this. Though PERSONALLY, I think they should have just made accessories check online, like how people submit deck checks while registration, have them submit pics of their accessories as well so they can determine whether they are appropriate or not in advance.

To clarify, LEWD ART WAS ALREADY BANNED. Their argument is that too many people were still breaking that rule, meaning they were spending too much time checking everyone's mats and sleeves, so now no customs whatsoever are allowed. My counterpoint, however: won't they still now check if the mat you're using is a solid colour or official? Won't it still take just as much time? The reasoning is clearly BS, they just want people to buy the official product rather than their own custom stuff. I own custom mats based around my other hobbies and interests, it's a way to express more of myself within the community. I get a lot of people were bringing inappropriate material to a game advertised for ages 6+, but the rules already in place should have just been enough. It can't take that long for even just 4-5 staff to walk past 1,000 people sat neatly at tables and flag down anyone they see with inappropriate art.

I don’t think you understand that whole entire companies have been made for accessories for yugioh players, I’m not just talking other tcg, I mean they start because of yugioh players first and expand afterwards. Pvramid, imperial gaming, ophidian accessories, gem accessories, Amanda lapalme, meta mats, and other tcg focused companies are being screwed and the player base as well.

While i do understand the stance against lewd/nsfw, unofficial, and even other TCG products, straight up saying Yugioh only or bust is stupid. I can't even use official playmats or sleeves designed for general card game uses unless its Yugioh, and their products are ass. All this shows is that they're trying to monopolize their player base and force them into using their shotty products or not play the game at that competative level. It would be somewhat understandable if Yugioh had quality products to use or have a good variety to choose from but they dont.
