The site used , allowing the user to access any card in their database without changing webpage . On March 18 , 2009 , Netrep upgraded the site , adding and changing features . The new version was known as Netrep . net 2 . 0 On September 14 , 2009 , Dillie - O Digital announced that he would be closing Netrep . On March 2 , 2010 , XeroCreative announced that it now owns and operates Netrep . Dillie - O Digital confirmed the ownership change . In early 2012 , the site was shut down . The website address was later taken by a generic advertising platform . The content of the website is no longer at that location . Database . In version 1 , the database included entries for each print of a card in the TCG . Cards that have been printed multiple times have an entry for each . In version 2 , each card has only one entry . The user could access an image of a card , along with its text , statistics , sets , corresponding rarity and ruling s . In version 2 , each entry has a series of tabs : details , rulings , sources and tags . Details displays the cards text and statistics . Rulings displays the rulings , sources displays the sets the card appears in and tags contains other distinguishing properties that cards may be searched by . Each image was proxied and contains the newest errata version of its text . In version 1 , cards from earlier sets that have outdated texts , are altered to contain the newest stored revision . In version 2 , only an image of the most recent print is shown . The images are stamped with a " Dillie - O Digital " logo . Rulings . Netrep used official ruling s that Upper Deck Entertainment ( UDE ) provided on their official site . Since UDE lost their license to distribute Yu - Gi - Oh ! TCG cards , their Yu - Gi - Oh ! site has been removed . If a card ' s name was mentioned in the rulings of another card , the ruling from the other card was listed on Netrep . For example " Mystic Tomato " appeared in the rulings of " Banisher of the Light " , so listed under " Mystic Tomato ' s " rulings was : which was its mention in " Banisher of the Light ' s " rulings . Searching . Netrep allowed the user to search cards by entering a portion of the card ' s name into a search bar . Any cards , whose name includes the string entered , appear on the screen . Its name will be listed alongside its set number , stats and rarity . In version 1 , The same card could appear multiple times , once for each different print . A similar search could be done by entering a portion of the card ' s text . More complex search functions existed within the site , that allow the user to form a list of cards , by selecting common statistics or only search cards from a selected set . In version 2 , searching by tags was enabled . This allows the user to search cards by certain properties , usch as Archetype s or similar effects . All searches filters were cumulative , and could be used together . Scope of database . The cards stored in Netrep were restricted to strictly English - print TCG cards . Any cards deemed Illegal , such as the Egyptian Gods , were not included . " Token " is also excluded . In version 1 , if a card existed as multiple rarities under the same set number , only the regular rarity was listed . For example the SOD - EN008 " Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 " was printed as both Ultra Rare and Ultimate Rare . Since the Ultimate is considered an " extra " rarity , only the original Ultra Rare was listed . Version 2 accommodated multiple rarities per print . For sets that were been reprinted in English , under different language IDs , only one of the IDs is used . For example Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon cards have been printed as LOB - XXX , LOB - EXXX and LOB - ENXXX . In this case , Netrep only documented the LOB - ENXXX version . Shutdown . In September 2009 , Sean Patterson , the then - current administrator of Netrep . net , announced that he would be " closing up the shop " of the CCG Toolkit Suite , of which Netrep was one aspect of . Due to personal time constraints , Patterson stated that he would no longer be able to maintain the database in good faith . A few days after that announcement , he posted on the CCGToolkit website links to the source code and databases for download by the general public , as well as suggesting that XeroCreative , the developers of YVD would soon take over the operation of Netrep . The final update to Netrep took place September 19 , 2009 . The netrep . net domain is scheduled to expire in February 2010 . Return .
