Ultimagamer Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Tcg copying OCG's worst impulses with that Dark Matter ban That card's pretty degenerate IMO. You get 3 free dragon foolishes, and it can't even be negated, since it's a cost to activate it's effect ( banishing 3 monsters from your opponent's deck ). Lady debug limit sucks as a Salamangreat player, but bufferlo is still a good normal summon ( might even be a reason to max out on it now ). The Rum is banned! That card had at least 3 degenerate things you could to with it ( Azathot, Kali Yuga, and All Calamities ), and the lockdowns it promoted were so awful. While I am a little sad to see it go ( for the pure Phantom Knight players playing Requiem ), I'm not that sad seeing it go. Summon Sorc banned: Feels bad, that card was pretty legit in Noble Knights. Not that playing it in Noble Knights is a major reason it got banned, the card is pretty ridiculous for the combos it has in much better strategies. Phantom Skyblaster being limited is conflicting IMO. People will probably still play it, and in a Danger deck ( where you can draw your whole deck out ) you could still see it ( at least in theory ). You definitely will see it much less often though, so that's good. Kagari: Given that Engage is getting reprinted, this hit makes sense. It hurts the consistency and long game of the deck. With this hit, will people play more copies of the equip spell to recycle their 1 Kagari? I'm kinda curious. Super Poly: Guess I got another side deck card against thunder dragons and salamangreats. Misc: Shoutout to all the dino players out there. This card is pretty spectacular. It might not be the Earth true king, but it's a good step in the right direction for dinos becoming a force in the meta again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerer Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Interesting, a hit to all the top 3.5 decks. The question is, how heavy of a hit are these? Kagari to 1 looks like it'd cripple Strikers in a meta where things are more heavily control-based, but I dunno. I'm actually a bit surprised they banned RUM. Not because it isn't powerful, but because I was thinking they'd ban Azzy, Kali Yuga, and True King Calamities instead (based on how they hit lots of Firewall targets rather than Firewall itself, etc.). It's perfectly justified though, and honestly, I really want to see the Orcust Deck evolve without it. Super Poly to 2? Better grab me another copy and finally get my hands on Mudragon. We've got a ton of removal options now, huh? Summon Sorc to 0 hurts, but it makes sense. I wonder if this means that Needlefiber will finally be imported? Overall, I kinda like this banlist. Kinda curbs the power of the top decks while also leaving the game in a state to evolve naturally for the next couple months. It's a bit annoying that Striker will stay relevant, but w/e. I do wish they used this to take some stuff off the list though. I want my boy Tribe Infecting Virus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragulas Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Small but effective hits, The 3 baned cards had it comming. Lady debug its interesting but its a stratos for a type, on that note Misscellaneosaurus return should be balanced by a hit on oviraptor (you cant change my mind here), even semi limiting is good enough. Strikers have lost a lot of they grinding ability, I would hit multi role and semi limit kagari instead though. Outside of those "suggestions" my only real complain is Skull dread still being unlimited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF2_The_Scout Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Oh, I hate that Super Poly semi-limit. Oh well, I’ll be happy with my 3 Miscellaneousaurus back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Danger Thunder should be fine. A lot of players were cutting Dark Matter Dragon and Arkbrave for Heavenly Spheres to go into Goliath. A Limit to Saryuja or Wyverburster would've been crippling, but Doesn't Matter Dragon and Skyblaster totally aren't even necessary. Losing Summon Sorceress hurts the deck's ability to play through sub-optimal hands and disruptions. Salamangreats should be fine. Lady Debug was known for her weakness to disruption anyway and players have been winning without running her at all in favour of stuff like Flame Bufferlo, or by siding her out every game 2. Should be interesting to see what she's replaced with, Cynet Mining is the obvious choice as it can search her though I'd expect to see a bit more of the Tsuchinoko/Jackalope package or Wheeleder/Tracker/Teleport as well. Backup Secretary loses some traction since the whole point with her was searching her off Debug. Sky Strikers should be fine. They're still winning tournaments in the OCG with 1 Kagari and 2 Engage. Surprised by how hard Orcusts got hit given the advent of DANE. Losing Summon Sorceress with no Needlefiber on top of Launch may well mean Dingirsu and Climax won't be enough to make Orcusts tier 1. Subterror and Dinosaurs are the winners here. Subterrors were sitting just on the outskirts of the Striker-Thunder-Salamangreat triangle from last format, aren't only the best deck not to be hit by this list but benefit from it as well with a second copy of Super Poly on top of the coming of Gnomaterial. DANE also heavily supports True King Dinos with Miko, Idolee, and Burgeoning and these in tandem with the new Dinowrestlers and the unlimiting of Miscellaneousaurus should lead to brighter roads ahead for Dinos. Dino Thunder might be a deck as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Banned: Well, there goes my Heart-Earth Dragon down the bastard. I can look past the other hits, and the only that ever gave me trouble was Lady Debug. So yeah. Not really happy with most of these choices. But at least Phoenix Blade isn't on this list.

Dragulas Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 You of all people saying DMD needed a ban is sad :(Foolishing 3 dragons (AS COST) isnt exactly the healthiest thing for the game, and if that (DMD Bann) can open the path for the rulers to return (eventually) by all means let it remain in the ban camp. I dont have a particular hate for the card but it has been very abusable in decks he has no business because of the easy acces, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
