Wow, they actually banned bear girl.
nothing changed. Skipping 3 more months.
@floober prolly use 7th rate combo deck
@free speech, how does Konami’s boot taste? Make sure you shine it up good, sheep.
They banned BOTH lacrima and Beatrice
I mean we all knew Beatrice was gonna go, but lacrima?
Que radical banear apolusa que irá
You guys forgot to list Electrumite going to 3. /s
Not happening.
(The main decks that got hit )
Tenpai
Branded
Gimmick puppet
Snake-eye
Yubel/sacred beast
Fiendsmith
Centur-ion
blue-eyes meta here it comes
Centur-Ion still have Cosmic Blazar and Red Supernova
How did puppet get hit? There are so many ways to recycle branded fusion out of the gy and banishment zone that limiting it to 1 really dosnt change the deck or how we play at all.
they hit puppet because they have a otk going on
*FTK
And besides that is the FTK still alive
Should have banned Ash and Poplar but this list is still good.
That would of been dumb the deck wouldn’t be able to play atall
These 2024 format goes beyond help
I think Snake-Eye needed a bigger hit and I still want Shifter gone. But at least this list will actually do something to the meta
The Azamina cards in question:
So Dragon Rulers are back and we got quite a number of new Dragon toys during their absence. I’m not sure what to think about it…
Now we all know you do not play Masterduel
Can you imagine telling somebody in the early ARC-V era that Dragon Rulers would be semi-limited and Time Seal would be unlimited in the same list that has Number 40 limited?
Or that Yubel will be meta. Ppl would call me crazy
It’d be even more unbelievable if we told them Kaiser Colosseum, Ronintoadin and Summon Limit would be banned while Raigeki, Yata-Garasu and Change of Heart (in OCG) would be unlimited.
Broddah what? you smoking so good kush lemme have some of dat
Now: I never thought i see the day the dragon rulers comes to 2 again.
And they could come to 3 and would do less than nothing. Times have certainly changed….except Time Seal has always been bad.
They actually BANNED Apollousa! Nice! Some people thought I was crazy in the past for wanting over powered + over used generic extra deck cards like her banned in the past in order to promote better end board variety… But it finally happened! Also I absolutely didn’t expect the Fiendsmith hit considering how new that card is for the TCG.
I feel like the only generic negates that are acceptable are synchros but they need to Attribute/Type restrict so it’s not COMPLETELY generic just type generic. They also need to be more awkward of levels, like 10 is just to easy but stuff like 5 or 7 is hard.
Sacred Beasts Did Nothing Wrong!!!!
Sacred Beasts‘ sin are helping Yubel, so they deserve it.
Not really, it’s all Yubel’s fault. Phantom should have hard opt summon or get limited.
I am perfectly okay with sacrificing Sacred Beasts.
Let’s Go Luna Tiger!
Also Feels bad for Sacred Beasts
No love for Apollo or Calamity
Tiger should have been at 3. Ash or Poplar should have banned
Why was Number 40 hit? did it contribute that much to the Gimmick Puppet modern deck?
Yeah, it’s a key part of the FTKs (at least the common ones).
Seriously I run hot red dragon archfiend king calamity in my red dragon archfiend deck it’s banned what the heck why
Why Eva? What deck is that card being abused in?
It was Forbidden before this list. It used to be used in both TearZero & Drytron. Personally I think Eva should had stayed banned.
@Weevil Your 2nd question is the reason why Konami should post the position the cards held previously. Many people isn’t following every format.
Personally I love Eva back, should’ve happened earlier, Fairy isn’t very well supported and this card is doing nothing in OCG.
So I guess if you wanna play Jack.dek you’re kinda outta luck now. Sure glad I didn’t invest in 3 of the structure deck or anything.
Imagine posting that L.
RDA doesn’t make KC even when going second lmao, what are you on about
Resonator decks don’t play calamity
Forgot to ban S:P but i guess we can take the result home. May I’ll come back to this game after two years
None of these should be on the lists at all. Konami is basically just throwing darts at a dart board.
Gateway to 3 please like ocg
LMAO, what? Gateway is limited in all facets of the game, and it’s likely never coming back to more than 1.
Gateway is still 1 in ocg. What drug are you on?
CRIMSON DRAGON STILL ALIVE ?! AND EVEN SANCTFURE F*CK U TCG !!!
They ban a fusion of a deck that hasn’t been released yet? Ok
If you mean Lacrima, Fiendsmith has been available in TCG for over a month. Don’t know where you’ve been
Where’s my Misc to 3, Konami?!
Why they never forbid the loli hand-traps like Ash Blossom?!!! Or at least limit them!!! Those are the most anoying overused startegy-jamming cards in all meta!!!
Because, go figure out, hand traps are what keeps this hell of a game in one piece.
Unless you really enjoy your opponent setting up their unbreakable board of 5+ floodgates and/or negates with you having absolutely no answer.
Hand Traps fix more than they hurt. Far more.
Banning of Appo will just help Snake-Eyes. Weaker decks need those generic negates to help keep up.
Stupid comment ive seen so far
How do these weaker decks play into snake eyes when they also use apo?
I hardly see these weaker decks ending on Apollo. Only degenerate decks have used it since it was released. It got what it deserved.
Well, they finally did something with Snake Eyes, it was needed, as for Lacrima I didn’t know she had already arrived at TCG for more than a month, sorry
You are confusing Lacrima the Scarlet Sorrow (not out yet) with Fiendsmith Lacrima (out and ruining game)
everyone forget about Dimension Shifter, a toxic free win card in most cases.
TCG Shifter is like OCG’s Maxx C. Konami will never touch it since it’ll help the less skilled players. This game can be pretty hard so we shouldn’t gate keep. I think it’s also skillful to play through it just like when I get nib or drolled.

Don’t need to read the rest, Apollousa alone thrills me. Would be even better if that RK10 generic negate slop joins her.
Out of all cards. That Xyz was the least concerned, you just have skill issue against a Yubel deck
I have no clue what the flavor of the month soft-ftk is, it’s not my interest. I’m more interested in what cards actually do and then letting the chips fall where they may.
Konami of America is so washed.
I think we could’ve hit Yubel a bit harder, limiting Phantom, perhaps?
I think Sangen should have also been flat out banned.
Also, I don’t think that anyone can change my mind. Electrumite should be at ONE. For the following reasons:
1. At one copy in the OCG, even though they still have Baronne, Apo, and Savage Dragon, Pendulum isn’t a top tier threat. We don’t even have the generic omni’s and Apo anymore.
2. Sure, Electrumite is splashable in every Pend Deck, cards that come out that support pendulum are actively being designed by Konami with Electrumite being legal in mind. Exceed is literally built to be made off Electrumite and Astrograph then add Astro back to hand.
3. Speaking of Astro, yes. That would also make Astrograph splashable in 99% of Pend decks, Astro is an Ash-able chokepoint that can stop adding more cards to hand and reducing the amount of spam from a pend summon.
4. If we’re going to errata and unban other pendulum cards because pendulum as a strategy is now weaker, we could do this two ways. Follow the OCG and put Electrumite to one, or we errata Electrumite, make both it’s effects HOPT, and then bring it back entirely.
That’s my soapbox.
