What to Expect for December 2025 [GENESYS]

Springtime for Branded; Winter for Droll & Lock Bird.

“Severe Performance Outliers”

This is the stuff that has over performed. Dracotail and “Droll & Lock Bird” are cited as problem children.

“Deck Destruction / Attack The Deck”

Runick
Hecahands Gaigas
Hecahands Xeno
Kewl Tune Clip
Kewl Tune Cue

“Cards That Multiply Excessively”

Dodododo Warrior is cited as the poster child for this problem category.

“Cards That Insulate Turn 1 Boards”

Crossout Designator and Traptrix Rafflesia are cited as examples of cards allowing you to force through Turn 1 Combos. Basically it’s cited cards that are considered to be counters-to-counters should be priced above the counters.

“Towers”

(i.e. Qliphort Towers is the origin of the name but it is jargon that refers to any monster immune to other cards).

Lunalight Liger Dancer and Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus will be increased in cost so you can use them… but you lose more generic support cards.

“Extra Deck Monsters That Get You Another Cards”

Cards like Gagagaga Girl and Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity that summon or obtain another cards

“Themes That Underperformed”

Dragonmaid
Swordsoul
Tenyi
Snake-Eye
Ninjas

Possibly Centur-Ion and Six Samurai

“Re-Weighting Various Current Points”

Rite of Aramasir and Enchantress of the Temple versus the high spec Wandering Gryphon Rider. Gladiator Beasts and Crystrons.

Also Branded. The Fallen & The Virtuous did not turn out to be the high use generic power card R&D expected, so it’ll be rejiggered to allow 1 to 2 of the card while allowing players to play their Extra Deck.

“Housekeeping of Generics”

Various generics that no one uses at their current value will drop down in cost.

Next Update will be timed to happen around the release of Burst Protocol.

Also it is noted a lot of this up and down bouncing is a result of early days and that things will stabilize and be driven by more hard usage data over time.
