      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.

    3. Tutu on December 21, 2025 7:46 am

      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.

        Hell yeah. Finally, Jaden’s last anime monster can finally be released.

      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

      • Orga777 on December 21, 2025 9:21 am

        You run a single copy because if it resolves, you win. It is going to feel even worse at one because now it is just a luck sack card. Just ban the damn bug already.

      • Chained Snake Serpent Simp on December 21, 2025 10:08 am

        You can pretty much recycle and even searches it with cards like retaliating “C”. So it is not dead, especially in modern yugioh that card is so toxic!

    10. Warmth Hero Bundleman Neo on December 21, 2025 9:05 am

      Welcome back Neo Bubbleman! I know there’s that one hero fusion that can cheat him out but its not the same. In retrospect the neo series was another incomplete series just like NEX, just another thing that ties heroes and neospacians. As usual 80% of lists is deck build slop that I have no recollection of. Rather not see dessertoad again.

      Why the hate for everyone’s favorite drunk herbivore? Is it a crime for the game to last 2 extra turns!?

      Wow. As far as OCG banlists go, this one is pretty good. I would have liked them to hit a few of the floodgates that the TCG hit as well though.

      The grotesque art of old cards reminds of how ygo used to be a dark fantasy game. That said some are so ugly that I’d rather not seem them around.

        Unban Butterfly Dagger so we can play Guardian Elma properly.

    13. Warmth Hero Bundleman Neo on December 21, 2025 9:39 am

      If I had a nickel for every VRAINS endgame link that was banned, oh, didn’t even notice bandaid blossom! Thank goodness, since the “good” soft ftks just “play through” konami’s bandaid solutions anyway forcing players to deplete their opening hand to determine who has the right to play is a waste of time, not to mention I’m sick of seeing her animation. I am interested in what the old fan translated name was though.
