Below, you will find a list of the currently sanctionable formats for Vs. System events. Notice that while Marvel Evolutions was the last set released by UDE, it does not appear in Modern or Silver Age category. Due to the abusive nature of the set, it has been relegated exclusively to Golden Age. The mini-set -Marvel Equipment- that was formerly attached to Marvel Evolutions, is now attached to Marvel Universe.

Random Punks:
- Same sets as Golden Age (see above). No rares allowed.
Bring Your Own Set:
- All cards in your deck must be in the same set. In other words, all cards in your deck must have been printed with the same three-letter set code. The actual cards you put in your deck don’t need to share a set code, however. For example, you can play a Flying Kick from a set other than Marvel Origins if you are playing a Marvel Origins deck. For this format, starter decks are not considered to be part of the base sets, but you can play a deck consisting entirely of cards from a given starter or the Hellboy Essential Collection set.
Bring Your Own Team:
- This format is a Golden Age constructed deck format with further restrictions on deckbuilding. The player must nominate a team and all cards in the deck must be refer to that team or no team at all. This format could be adapted to any “age”. An optional variant of the format is that all cards in the deck must refer to your nominated team. This means “generic” cards (that mention no team at all) like Mobilize or Savage Beatdown cannot be used.
Bring Your Own Two Team:
- This format requires the player to nominate two teams which are then automatically crossed over (no need for team-ups). All cards in the deck must refer to one or both of those teams. No generic cards are allowed. Any “age” can be used.
Clone Saga:
- This is a constructed deck format – any “age” can be used, the only difference is that the uniqueness rule does not apply when recruiting characters
Build a Legend:
- You must choose a character name and include at least 12 cards: with that exact name; and/or that refer to a character card with that name in their game text.
Super Crossover Sealed:
- Modification of the Sealed Pack format when using packs from various different sets simultaneously. There are a couple of rules that need to be followed for this unique format:
- Affiliated characters and character cards have all affiliations.
- Cards that count affiliations, like Ethan Edwards and Lyja, Mrs.
Johnny Storm, count the number of printed affiliations instead.
