バトルゾーン (Batoru Zōn)

The Battle Zone is one of the six main zones in the Duel Masters trading card game.

Details[]

It is a Public Zone where creatures battle.

It is often placed between your shields and your opponent's shields, and is also referred to as "place" or "board" by players.

Creatures that have been summoned, generated Cross Gear, psychic or dragheart card types, Tamaseeds, expanded fields, and Orega Aura that have been attached to gacharange creatures are all placed here.

As only creatures in the battle zone are able to attack, it is crucial to manage the zone during the game, as well as dealing with any creatures your opponent has played.

Along with the hand and mana zone, it is one of the most important zones.

There is no limit to the number of cards you may have in the battle zone.

Rulings[]

From the Duel Masters - General Game Rules: Version 1.38 (September 14, 2023)

  • 403. Battle Zone
    • 403.1. Battle Zone is the main place of the game. Creatures, Cross Gear, Weapons, Fortresses, Impulses, Fields and Auras are put into the battle zone, but mana, shields, castles or spells may be put into the battle zone. Effects that affect or refer to elements only affect elements that are in the battle zone and refer only to elements that are in the battle zone, unless other zones are explicitly mentioned in their text.

      Example: Only an element in the battle zone can be chosen by the effect of 'Choose an element and destroy it'.

      Example: Only a creature in the battle zone can be chosen by the effect of 'Choose a creature and return it to its owner's hand'.

    • 403.2. Creatures in the battle zone can be arranged however their owners wish, although it must remain clear to all players which creatures that a cross gear and weapons belong to.
    • 403.3. Players can rearrange their cards in the battle zone at any time.
    • 403.4. You can't change the order of cards underneath another card. This is an exception to "403.3".
      • 403.4a When you put a card underneath another in the battle zone, its put on the bottom of that stack of cards. When multiple cards are put underneath a card at once, the player decides in what order they are put.

From the Duel Masters - General Game Rules: Version 1.38 (September 14, 2023)

  • 403. バトルゾーン
    • 403.1. バトルゾーンはゲームのメインとなる場所です。クリーチャー、クロスギア、ウエポン、フォートレス、鼓動、フィールド、オーラ、儀、星雲はバトルゾーンに置かれますが、マナやシールド、城、呪文が置かれることはありません。エレメントに影響を及ぼす効果や参照する効果は、そのテキストに他のゾーンが記載されていないかぎり、バトルゾーンにあるエレメントにのみ影響を及ぼして、バトルゾーンにあるエレメントのみを参照します。
      例 :「エレメントを1つ選び、破壊する」という効果で選べるのは、バトルゾーンにあるエレメントのみです。
      例2:「クリーチャーを1体選び、持ち主の手札に戻す」という効果で選べるのは、バトルゾーンにいるクリーチャーのみです。
    • 403.2. プレイヤーはバトルゾーンのクリーチャーをそれぞれが明白であるように並べ、クロスギアやウエポンはどのクリーチャーに属しているのかを明白にしなければいけません。
    • 403.3. プレイヤーはバトルゾーンにある自分のカードをいつでも好きなように並べ替えることができます。
    • 403.4. カードの下に重ねられたカードの順番を変えることはできません。これは、403.3の例外です。
      • 403.4a バトルゾーンにあるカードの下にカードを置く時、それは構成カードの一番下に置かれます。一度に複数枚のカードがカードの下に置かれる時は、どの順番で置くかプレイヤーが決めます。

Trivia[]

  • It was previously sometimes referred to as "field" before the card type was released.
  • As it a shared zone between the players, players shouldn't refer to it as "your battle zone" or "your opponents battle zone" and instead only refer to it as "your creatures [cards] in the battle zone" or "your opponent's creatures [cards] in the battle zone].
    • Some cards such as Apocalypse Day count the creatures in the battle zone, therefore this card counts creatures in the battle zone combined from both players. If there is a shared total of 6 or more, they are all destroyed.
  • Moving a card from the battle zone to another zone is known as Removal. Having more creatures than your opponent is known as Field Advantage.
