Race is a gameplay characteristic in the Duel Masters trading card game.

Details

Most cards with a creature card type have a race, which appears on the card frame under its card name.

Races also appear on other card types such as Spells, Cross Gear, Orega Aura and Tamaseeds.

There are no rules specific to creature races, but there are many cards that support the race, or even race categories, such as Commands and Dragons.

Some creatures have 2 or more races separated by a slash, such as Gonta, the Warrior Savage. Gonta has the races of Beast Folk and Human, and is affected by any card that affects Beast Folk and any card that affects Humans. It can be evolved into an evolution creature that requires either race.

There are various creatures with a Hedrian race in Black Box Pack booster packs that have the highest total of races, with 8, 9 and 10.

Later, high rarity creatures with 4 races appeared with both the Hunter and Alien races as Special Races were released were unique cards in having 4 races.

  • This was also more commonly seen on 3-civilization creatures (with Dispector as a special race) due to them being a combination of formerly released creatures.

Cards with 4 or more races include;

The following creatures have 3 races with no special races.

There are also creatures with No Race.

While races are primarily featured on creature cards, other card types were given races as well. in the Sengoku Saga (DM-28 to DM-32).

  • Spells feature the Knight race and Knight Magic keyword, and Cross Gear were given Samurai, the opposing force to the Knights.

Due to featuring these races, they could be affected by various support cards that specified a race, rather than card type (such as Gregorias, Mystic Light Death Saint or Bolmeteus "Kensei" Dragon).

Later on, Phoenix Life in DMX-21 Masters Chronicle Pack: Comic of Heroes was released that had Phoenix as a race, as well as the Jokers race after the release of DMRP-01 Here Come the Jokers!!.

This occurred frequently in the Duel Masters (DMRP Block) block with the Jokers race featuring on spells as well as Fields (Crossbow War! Momo Castle Tower and Joe Star of Hope).

Ten Kings had the various Team and Kingdom races on spells.

The Rise of Kings MAX introduced the Tamaseed card type, with each card having an Oni RexStars or RexStars race.

Rulings

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

  • 203. Race
    • 203.1. Race is a characteristic of cards. It is usually printed just under the card name.
    • 203.2. Some effect refers to races or partial parts of them. In that case, it includes each race that includes that specific part.

      Example: Specifying 'Dragon' for a card effect refers to all creatures that have 'Dragon' in the race.

    • 203.3. Races may be added by an effect.
    • 203.4. When choosing a race, you can't choose part of a race that doesn't exist by itself on a card.

      Example: 'Cyber' doesn't exist by itself as a race by itself, so it can't be chosen.
