HOLY MOLY MAXX C HAS MOVED TO THE LIMIT LIST
Yeah, the roach limit will the the talk of the town. The list has way more applications, however. Ash to 2 is a big sign that she has finally overstayed its welcome. Yummy is hit quite hard, as now it will only do a half-board as its endboard, on top of Marshmao being hit. Dracotail might still be fine, though Mululu is definitely another starter. Fiendsmith is gone, though Mitsu did make it relevant a little more; the hits to Ryzeal are also probably to discourage playing Mitsu with other engines. Maliss might be finally dead as well.
Overall, the list just wants you to play Phantom’s Revenge decks, but it also sets a possible direction for the game that handtraps *must* resolve.
Sums it up in a nutshell regarding this banlist. Which means at least 2 of the three decks will be the next popular meta menaces, translation 6 months of war between every Yu-Gi-Oh deck possible.
Better prepare popcorn and such regarding the talk of one card being limited.
I feel like with this particular banlist, they took notes from the TCG/Master Duel side of things.
There’s still “Herald of the Arc Light”, and “Albion the Sanctifier Dragon” though but at least the Yummy stuff is going to be more inconsistent now.
Wow, Pot of Avarice was semi-limited.
Ash on the chopping block, you love to see it
They gettin Metamorphosis ready for EH Clay Guardian
Finally, Neo Bubbleman!
I think there was an error as Pot of Desires was unlimited, not Pot of Avarice.
Maxx C pretty much dead. Why bother to run a single copy
