      Savage Mom is free
      Finally, Seraphs don’t need to rely on Heraldry Crest or Shark Drake

      • concerned citizen on September 12, 2025 7:17 pm

        I have many questions as to your mental state playing seraph in advanced format in 2025

      • The President of the United States on September 12, 2025 7:26 pm

        It’s a deck that they like playing. If you need to ask any additional questions or do not accept this answer, then maybe you need to consider that other people might not like playing the exact same things you like playing.

      • concerned citizen on September 12, 2025 7:47 pm

        ^ person who doesn’t know about the existence of alternative formats where you won’t get rolled playing a deck from almost a decade and a half ago

      • unluck = luck on September 12, 2025 9:13 pm

        they are allowed to be on as much copium as they want leave them be

      • The President of the United States on September 13, 2025 8:52 am

        I would advise you two to get off your high horse. It helps nobody and only makes a fool of yourselves.

      • concerned citizen on September 13, 2025 3:41 pm

        And I would recommend you remove the large stick from your rectum and perhaps consider going to get screened for some form of neurodivergence considering how far the humor of the previous statements flew over your head.

      • concerned citizen on September 13, 2025 3:44 pm

        Like good lord it was a joking comment on a ygorganization post about someone’s sanity not some horribly offensive statement.

      • The President of the United States on September 13, 2025 3:51 pm

        It’s free to not be an ass on the internet.

      • concerned citizen on September 13, 2025 8:26 pm

        Says the person being an ass on the Internet

      • concerned citizen on September 13, 2025 8:49 pm

        Like for real which one of us didn’t understand an obvious joke, got buttmad on someone else’s expense, then proceeded to talk down to the other person like a condescending know-it-all because it sure wasn’t me. “Get off your high horse” sure buddy looked in a mirror lately.

    2. Hmmmmmm on September 12, 2025 12:20 pm

      Did yummy really make multiple arc lights for its endboards? Why limit Solemn , does it really have high usage? Why TF unlimit the Snake Eyes?

      • Killer Memestar on September 12, 2025 12:23 pm

        Yes
        This one was strange yeah
        What has Snake-Eyes been doing at all in the past few formats?

      • Trustbruh on September 12, 2025 12:29 pm

        they do have the ability to make multiple, solemn is just an annoying generic side deck option to deal with when going first, snake-eye is a very fair deck without original

      • Snow on September 12, 2025 6:37 pm

        Oof they hit Vanquish Soul a lot harder and sooner than I expected. Herald and Solemn and Splash Mage hits are also very weird.

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:10 am

        snake eyes has been fine. they could give them back all of their cards unlimited and they’d still be fine

      • Yukioh on September 13, 2025 4:56 pm

        1) Yummy was making a second Arc Light during the opp’s MP2 after the first one got outted via Battle Phase. Also played multiple in the Mitsurugi version of the deck.
        2) It has been having a high usage rate lately, but honestly I never felt like it was particularly degenerate? Like I get that LP is a resource and all, but a backrow/summon negate at the cost of making it twice as easy for me to lethal you feels like a fair trade. I dunno, I think the Judgment limit was weird.
        3) Unlimit the Snake Eyes because with OSS banned they’re not gonna do a damn thing. Hell I think they could even get OSS back at this point and be fine.

    3. Pkmnlover on September 12, 2025 12:23 pm

      idk how I feel about Snake-Eyes being back

      • Ghosts on September 12, 2025 12:57 pm

        It’s just PTSD from SE format. So long as OSS stays banned, Snake-eyes wont be a problem.

      • HFIL on September 12, 2025 12:59 pm

        OSS is banned so it is fine. They also cannot use fiendsmith

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:11 am

        They could unlimit oss and snake eyes wouldn’t go past rogue

      • Articz on September 13, 2025 5:57 am

        @daniel
        Haha so sad that ur fav SE deck died 💀
        No one likes SE FS 30min turn.

    4. Revolver on September 12, 2025 12:31 pm

      Ugh… Snake Eye is back.
      Another sucky format where solitaires are facing off against each other.

      Wake me up when Yu-Gi-Oh! will be playable again.

      • HFIL on September 12, 2025 12:58 pm

        OSS is banned, it’ll be fine

      • Dudegrey on September 12, 2025 6:58 pm

        You didn’t play anyways.

      • concerned citizen on September 12, 2025 7:15 pm

        If you think snake eyes will be a solitaire deck with no fiendsmith no apo no baronne no savage no original sinful spoils you might be legitimately brain damaged and you should probably see a doctor to make sure you don’t have a brain bleed you need to worry about

      • codyrhodesburner on September 12, 2025 8:25 pm

        Just play with your friends…?

      • Revolver on September 12, 2025 11:25 pm

        @concern citizen
        I see you like to post ad-hominen about people mental state. Psychophobic much ? Or maybe try to have an actual personality, go outside and touch grass if you have really nothing constructive to add to any discussion you partake in.

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:13 am

        snake eyes sucks and has sucked for almost a year. unban oss and they still wouldn’t be good, considering they banned moon of the closed heaven. They could be splashable with yummy ig, but even then it’d be better just to play pure yummy

      • QuestionMarked on September 14, 2025 7:07 pm

        No, Snake-Eye is not back lmao what are you on?

        Have you played the current format at all?

    5. Bringhurst on September 12, 2025 12:37 pm

      cant i play Melffys in peace…

      • unluck = luck on September 12, 2025 9:14 pm

        nah melffy is too strong

      • Beast Enjoyer on September 13, 2025 1:35 am

        I feel your pain bro, wally did nothing wrong

      • Antares on September 13, 2025 12:03 pm

        I’m not gonna lie, Nimble Runick Melffy is a ton of fun to play, and I think the best version of Melffy currently.

        Give that a try ! I doesn’t even played Obedience in the first place

    6. Zero on September 12, 2025 12:38 pm

      Wow i feel empty. Splash mage banned. They still felt the need to hit maliss after that? No misc. saurus to 3 or even 2? No real hit to yummy, lunalight, and a slap on the wrist for mitsurugi.

      • Ghosts on September 12, 2025 1:02 pm

        You have to be trolling right? You’re complaining about the lunalight towers but want the card that makes every dino a towers back?

      • Dudegrey on September 12, 2025 6:59 pm

        Dinosaurs are bad and have been for ages. Misc doesn’t change that.

      • unluck = luck on September 12, 2025 9:14 pm

        gimme misc

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:14 am

        Surprisingly, pure jurrac actually topped a while back. I doubt putting back misc would make the deck any good, though so it’s a fair unban. Also maliss was relevant before the splash mage ban

    7. Pablod on September 12, 2025 12:40 pm

      IT’S PENDULUMOVER!

      • Design on September 12, 2025 1:20 pm

        Still not funny Bruno.

    8. atomicnmare on September 12, 2025 12:41 pm

      put linkuriboh back where he belongs

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:15 am

        Snake eyes sucks and isn’t viable, hasn’t been for almost a year

    9. AceAlbaz on September 12, 2025 12:43 pm

      In honesty, the hits on certain cards are questionable and necessary. Solemn Judgment being the main one since it’s usage is in the side deck, and not every deck can afford to play it.

      As for the cards used in the popular decks, especially when they were going up in price from higher rarities, Question mark in the sense of why hit the cards bringing them money in an attempt to make a “fair” format. Which is a reach.

      • AceAlbaz on September 12, 2025 12:44 pm

        Correction unnecessary* on my comment.

      • Yukioh on September 13, 2025 5:01 pm

        What decks can’t afford to pay half their LP? The strongest part about Judgment is that you can always activate it no matter what.

        I mean I agree the limit was weird, it felt like a very fair card that only certain decks would play that get hosed by boardbreakers, but like it was definitely playable in every deck under the sun.

    10. Osha on September 12, 2025 12:47 pm

      Didn’t they just reprint King of the Feral Imps a few months ago? What a waste of card stock and foil.

      • Irene on September 12, 2025 7:58 pm

        I mean, it was going to be banned either way. Also, the product it was in was delayed in the EU regions. …Meaning the list was either going to be earlier(but delayed due to the product delay) or, well, they would’ve had a lot more time to enjoy the upgrade.

        Also, it’s easy to make money off of it since people want the bling. They don’t know if it would be banned till it happened. Meaning more product sold.

        So it was never a waste. They got their money’s worth for it.

    11. Space Goat on September 12, 2025 12:51 pm

      Not a bad list at all

    12. DukeOfYgorganization on September 12, 2025 12:56 pm

      Limiting Solemn Judgement in anno domini 2025 is some kind of a joke. This card is too slow and too costly to be super relevant again… unless Konami is cooking some broken Dinomorphia support or something.

      • HFIL on September 12, 2025 12:57 pm

        But then the OCG would’ve limited it

      • Cuteandfunny420 on September 12, 2025 2:11 pm

        Wouldn’t surprise me. TCG gets a list of cards to be printed ahead of time. Kinda how they unlimited dracoslayer for the upcoming dracoslayer support. Maybe solemn becomes searchable with upcoming support? Kinda like how darklords now have a way to search droplet.

      • Bolt Spider on September 12, 2025 2:39 pm

        Solemn Judgment was recently in plenty of Side Decks this format and a handful of Main Decks. Life Points are just another resource in this format that Solemn Judgment makes it not matter much.

      • QuestionMarked on September 14, 2025 7:10 pm

        Solemn Judgment and Strike have been saying a ton of side-deck use in the past format or two.

        I think the mentality from Konami is that the LP cost meant Judgment was more balanced due to time rules, but with those gone it’s much less dangerous to use.

    13. HFIL on September 12, 2025 12:56 pm

      Honestly, I see why they waited. Pretty big list, and it makes sense. Not sure why Judgement is limiited though.

      • Space Goat on September 12, 2025 3:26 pm

        Morganite

      • poster on September 12, 2025 6:58 pm

        Nah, it’s because it’s in every decklist’s sideboard.

    14. Tin foil hat on September 12, 2025 12:58 pm

      My Cyberse deck has been stopped. First they ban Link Decoder and now splash mage. I have to move on to something else.

      • concerned citizen on September 12, 2025 7:13 pm

        If losing splash mage killed it it wasn’t a good cyberse deck to begin with. You have access to firewall, mathmech, @ignister, and maliss cards. You’ll live.

      • eyfukas on September 12, 2025 9:15 pm

        cyberse pile is not healthy

      • TheToyMaker'sFunTime on September 13, 2025 9:03 am

        If you are actually running a Cyberse deck like Marincess, Maliss or Salads and you somehow have issues about no longer having access to those two cards, you might want to redo your deck from scratch cause you most definitely messed somewhere when building these decks. None of the Cyberse archetypes and hybrid build Cyberse decks we have, especially the three I mentioned, should’ve been that solely reliant on those two cards to begin with.

    15. Dominic on September 12, 2025 1:13 pm

      guys calm down Snake- eyes is in no way back… the deck only has 4 good starters bc there’s no oss. There”s also a TON of bricks in the deck still, and there’s now no way to bridge into Fiendsmith so easily mid-combo now. Snake- eyes is in no way back, calm down

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:17 am

        IKR! these people are tweaking, sure snake eyes could theoretically be splashable with yummy and the unban of linkuriboh could theoretically be a link 1 in yummy, snake eyes still sucks

    16. secret on September 12, 2025 1:27 pm

      Why put Glow-up Bulb at three? You can only use its effect once per duel, it makes no sense.

      • Dudegrey on September 12, 2025 7:01 pm

        Answered your own question.

      • Ifririt on September 12, 2025 7:46 pm

        if you can only use the effect once per duel then there’s no reason for it to be limited. again, you answered your own question

    17. Articz on September 12, 2025 1:33 pm

      I am glad lunalight didn’t win. Or else, they will get hit instead haha

    18. Longyuan22 on September 12, 2025 1:41 pm

      They forgot sacred tree to 3 AHHH!!!

    19. Eric West on September 12, 2025 2:00 pm

      I’d bet the Snake Eyes decision is for Dark Magician when it gets here

      • Articz on September 13, 2025 6:01 am

        Wym

    20. Kaiba on September 12, 2025 2:13 pm

      Disappointed number 95 wasn’t unbanned. He was finally reprinted in a non ugly foil. I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up because pot of greed was also reprinted, but 95 in blue-eyes again would have went hard

    21. Randy on September 12, 2025 2:38 pm

      Savage better be unbanned before the new rokket support drops

      • Revolver on September 13, 2025 4:26 am

        Not without an errata no.
        The less generic omni-negates we have, the better.

    22. FZVT on September 12, 2025 7:08 pm

      What did King of Feral Imps do? Noone has touched that card in 20 years .

      • concerned citizen on September 12, 2025 7:11 pm

        You’re joking right?

      • FZVT on September 13, 2025 3:13 am

        I genuinely havent seen it in any decklists anywhere

      • daniel on September 13, 2025 3:19 am

        you don’t even play the game, man. It’s the card that bridges mitsurugi with ryzeal, and subsequently made one of the msot popular decks for the last few formats. Without it, those 2 archetypes ahve no synergy

    23. lelouch on September 12, 2025 8:39 pm

      loli banned but we still have exciton

    24. TheToyMaker'sFunTime on September 13, 2025 8:55 am

      Uhhhhhh, I might be out of the loop. But, in regards to Closed Heaven, how bad were these Link 5s that were being summoned because of her?

      • LoudYoshiX on September 13, 2025 10:40 am

        Closed Heaven acts as a bridge to the Fiendsmith engine.

      • Proper on September 13, 2025 2:07 pm

        They didnt use it for its effect. It was a generic Light Fiend that allowed Full-Combo Fiendsmith to be run in any deck that could summon 2 monsters. Was just… bad typing/attribute design. It could be a fairy and be unlimited.

    25. Voido on September 19, 2025 8:05 am

      Ok, I haven’t played in a while. Someone explain what the hell is going on in the game that Ash and Poplar are unlimited???
