Dark Magician will be Tier 1 and Blue Eyes will also. Seen this type of pattern before. Damn DM is getting the actual 2 new combo starters after the Dark Magic Curtains retrain reveal in TCG.
“Believe me bro, my dad works with John Konami”
Where you see this pattern when Dark Magician has never been good?
Now change Droll from 2 to 0 and it will be perfect.
So, Rituals really are the shonen girls of Summoning mechanics, ain’t they?
Oh man, that is even funnier when you remember that Yugioh is a shonen and one of the girls runs Cyber Angels. Funnier and far more evil.
Droll to 2, this is a pendulum buff
list so bad I had to rise from the dead to see it
What is a good list for you?
Not gonna lie, that Droll only went to 2 instead of 1 or actually getting banned kinda bummed me. I am sick of this card, sick of playing it and sick of playing against it. That was the one thing I was hoping to find further up in the list. But I’m not gonna complain too much, I’m happy they recognize it at all and any hit to it is a move in the right direction.
This is why called by and crossout should be at 3
Wanting Crossout and Called by at 3 is crazy. Looks like someone is unable to play unless its solitaire.
Calling literal interaction solitaire is crazy. Yu-Gi-Oh players really are illiterate.
the purpose of called by & crossout is to insulate plays by stopping handtraps. this is functionally uninteractive because the end goal of this is to let you continue your play as if you opponent hadn’t interacted with you
So what do we do now that we have no herald? The Star ham can make Ib to search World Crown, good enough?
Change of heart has now come off lthe tcg banlist, just like the ocg. Even though it’s not nearly as impactful as it used to be due to the power scaling of the metagame, it still feels a bit surreal.
Good job Konami, now ban all normal summoned floodgate e.g. Kristya, Vanity Monsters and Sanctfire (brainded) Dragon. Droll semi? No biggie, I am play only 2 copies after all. Either side or main decking. 😛
And the IRL game gets yet another nail in the coffin. F this combo sht. Duel Links, Goat Format, Edison Format & to an extremely lesser extent Master Duel are keeping YGO alive man, I swear. Shoutout to my two favorite decks of all time: WarriorToolbox in GOAT & Gearfried Gemini in Duel Links.
10’000 years more! Tearlament on the list!
I actually like this list
So we’re just taking Justice Hunters out back huh?
About time.
