I read the first 3 newly banned cards and decided this was a bad list.

 

OTKs are good for the game now?

 

Hmmm' date=' your missing Tsukuyomi being limited. Considering now that theres hardly any flip effect monsters that are good besides the man eaters and such.

[/quote']

 

Why can't Tsukuyomi be at 3?

 

You are probably one of the people who don't.

:\

 

Reasoning is demanded.

Can you please make a realistic list. Not just one that is "Good for the game", but one that places minimal limits on cards so that they keep value, as Konami does, and only ban cards which completely change a format, rather than those which have any impact at all or could have some impact. Or even have no impact on the meta, but their only use is an impact you don't like.

 

The banlist, in short, will be kept as small as possible by Konami. Can someone emulate this with their prodictions?

OTKs are annoying and bad for the game so long as they're consistent. If I lose to an OTK which requires a big setup like... 3 Despair from the dark in grave, norelas, 2 mezuki and plague, summon phantom of chaos, remove norelas, use plaguespereader's effect to topdeck burial FADD then I'm happy in the fact I just lost because there's a lot I could have done to prevent that due to it's large setup. I could torrential or DD Crow when he uses phantom. The very fact I have options to prevent an OTK makes OTK decks fair.

 

Banning cards which allow for big advantage swings, like storm, isn't good either. Doing that shows you have limited understanding of how the game is played at a competitive level.

I'd much rather ban Airbellum than Rescue Cat.

 

Ban Dark Rabbit. He has his own OTK.

Ban the Ojamas.

etc

 

What OTKs would those be?

Why in the world would I ever want to do that? A good banlist is something Konami would never make because it'd put a hole in their wallets.

You banned a lot of bad cards just to stop some horrible OTKs.

 

Horrible or not' date=' they're OTKs that are possible. OTKs and Locks are bad for the game.

idgi... you say locks are bad for the game but unlimit level limit and gravity bind while banning storm. Unlimited Tsukliomi, while also unlimiting mask of darkness, magician of faith, swords and keeping drop off and drastic drop off as well as secret barrel, just deserts, ojama trio and nightmare steelcage.

 

Yeah... lockdowns are bad for the game, aren't they?

Even big-setup OTKs are bad for the game because they force you to run cards like D.D. Crow' date=' Torrential, etc. Being forced to run certain cards is bad for the game.[/b']

Mind explaining? I don't play at a competitive level. Honestly, I hardly play in general.

Man, me and Arkel seem to be in sync today. We both agree that Konami won't ban the correct cards because it'll make them has less money, running only certain cards being bad for the game. Let's see what else.

 

Hmmm. Could it be that since LS and BW is getting Konami so much money, they won't focus on improving to making other good archtypes?

The "lock" you presented isn't even a lock; a lock can't be stopped once it happens, yet I could stop your example via MST, Twister, etc.

Have you ever played any other TCG? All TCG have a few decks which are better than all other decks and the top 8/16 is all only these decks with a few non meta creeping in but never actually winning.
