      Lmao scythe limited but Abyss is ban 😂

    2. Phayze on December 22, 2024 7:17 am

      ah yes the 3rd seventh tachyon and chrono made the dfference

      • Seihai-kun on December 22, 2024 7:23 am

        Chronograph Sorcerer is going up, he was limited for years.

      • Joshua Seed on December 22, 2024 7:23 am

        Let’s be honest Konami secretly hates Pendulums.

      • Love yourself on December 22, 2024 7:47 am

        I find the OCG banlists to be one of the best things about the game. I don’t think they’re the best banlists for the metagame necassarly but every banlist from them has a perfect design and that’s the most important thing according to me. And the way the cards that are banned, limited, semi-limited and unlimited are put together in this one looks good again so good job Konami👍

        “I don’t think they’re the best banlists for the metagame necassarly but every banlist from them has a perfect design”

        makes total sense

    3. TheNman on December 22, 2024 7:19 am

      Banning Dweller is probably the healthiest thing OCG has ever done

      • Love yourself on December 22, 2024 7:54 am

        I feel like they never disappoint with the design.

      • Evening of Besmirchment on December 22, 2024 9:25 am

        @ Love yourself is not going to pass the turing test

    4. ... on December 22, 2024 7:20 am

      I remember people got some kick out of the decision making in mermail mirror but then Abyss Dweller was released and it became a waste of time. Not even 2 lv 4 sea serpents required kek

      • . on December 22, 2024 8:04 am

        Wdym dweller was released on the 1st mermail set. It was not that much of a problem back then because it was hard & costly to make & a simple diva or sphere into megalo could out it

        Abyss Dweller was a TCG exclusive card in Abyss Rising. People were testing with Mermails for a couple months before that without it, in preparation for big events, and then when they actually released here there was suddenly a card that just completely broke the mirror match.

      • Love yourself on December 22, 2024 1:53 pm

        morphine jar it does make sense what’s the reason that artifact scythe got limited because they think it’s the best for the most diverse metagame? I don’t think so but just because it looks good next to ext ryzeal

    5. Joshua Seed on December 22, 2024 7:21 am

      And yet Baronne de Fleur is still unlimited in the OCG 🤣.

      • Rank1Project on December 22, 2024 8:51 am

        They have Maxx C retard.

      • Joshua Seed on December 22, 2024 6:00 pm

        @Rank1Project Shut up Loser. Go back to your mother’s basement and be a good boy.

        Lmao bro had to double post with two different names to say “yo momma”, subhuman african

    6. Dharc on December 22, 2024 7:37 am

      no max c……

      • Dukeof2 on December 22, 2024 8:28 am

        MAxx C belongs to 3. Y’all are just crybabies.

      • N on December 22, 2024 9:45 am

        The format and OCG card design are all based on Maxx C and other handtraps.

      • shawnjavery on December 22, 2024 10:35 am

        They are slowly peeling off maxx c I think, I expect the next and maybe last mulcharmy to be a very high impact one like fuwalos was, maybe a shared ride but as a hand trap.

      • Irene on December 22, 2024 9:50 pm

        It was going to stay at 2 or go to 3 anyway. The new decks came out with 2 copies each. It was never going to go to 1 or 0. Product wins in that regard.

        If it does go to 1, it could in a later list, but honestly, it’s far more likely to go back to 3, since as noted; the game is built around it in the OCG. TCG actually could remove a fair amount of its own Banlist by bringing Maxx “C” back too. Unfortunately, Konami doesn’t want that, so.

      • wizard enthusiast on December 23, 2024 6:31 am

        Maxx C needs to be at 3 in the TCG, I get empowered whenever these betas start complaining about something that has 10+ ways of negating it

    7. Talal on December 22, 2024 7:45 am

      good cards are getting the Crystron Halqifaiberaxe treatment, after a year or 2 ryzel will demolish and affected cards like dweller well come back

      • Love yourself on December 22, 2024 7:51 am

        Also I dont quite get why people think that they’re trying to make the most diverse metagame with the banlists when they’re obviouslly trying to make the cards look the best the way that they’re put together in the banlist.

    8. Fusionist on December 22, 2024 8:21 am

      Dracoslayer support inc?

      They are realllllly slow on this maxx c thing, aye?

    9. Cyberse Man on December 22, 2024 8:24 am

      The Dweller ban is good, but besides that, this list is terrible. No Ouroboros and Scythe ban is crazy

    10. shawnjavery on December 22, 2024 8:25 am

      Dweller ban is something I never thought would happen but on the other side I’m not too sad about, I don’t think it was necessary but its not tear 0 format where it would have been insane to ban it. Ext to 1 is a huge hit, I’m kinda curious what the tcg will hit for the deck after the inevitable bonfire limit, you can throw in 3 seventh ascensions to make up for the consistency a little bit but that’s a neg 1, introduces more card redundancies, and games go past turn 1 for the 2nd copy of ext to come up. Allure to 1 is something I’m expecting in the tcg eventually, that card has crazy upside in maliss. Overall I think this was the best ocg banlist of the year, not really saying much though.

    11. Samsara on December 22, 2024 10:09 am

      Mbt said Ryzeal is bad. There is no way they will be hi-

    12. HFIL on December 22, 2024 11:58 am

      Is there really a difference between Scythe at 1 and Scythe at 3?

    13. DirtCHEAP on December 22, 2024 12:05 pm

      And ppl complaining they didn’t do enough on the last 2 TCG F/L lists lol

    14. Fire King Enthusiast on December 22, 2024 12:34 pm

      I’m kinda surprised they never banned Abyss Dweller before. You’d think they’d have banned it well before Ryzeal started abusing it, with how much decks rely on the GV.

      • Ryan on December 22, 2024 1:51 pm

        It should have been banned back in Tear O format.
