    It doesn’t matter what Konami does Yugioh players complain 🤣🤣
  • @GG_Nowa
    I wish we got a few cards freed honestly. Some stuff just doesn't need to be hit anymore
  • @blaze3422160
    I think people forget what it means if there’s a ton of hits on the ban list. That’s a sign that there’s at least one or a couple so overpowering like Tear or Dragon Rulers that’s just above and beyond everything else and the meta is so warped around it that there’s little to no diversity within deck building. A few hits like this means the format is seemingly pretty healthy to where a variety of decks have a fair shot and they all keep each other in check. Now it’s just going to be interesting with Unchained becoming so popular seemingly overnight if there will be a hit on it in a month or two after a few YCS’s if it takes a ton of tops.

    Would’ve liked a light hit to fusion decks somehow, maybe limit super poly or branded fusion consistency. Would’ve also like prosperity be adjusted somehow but besides that, I am also a fan of this short and sweet list. Maybe someday Konami will make a big splash and start bringing back cards that have no right to be on the ban list anymore. I’m sure I’ll be getting my old age pension by then.

    NOOOOO NOT MARINCESS AAAAAAAARGHH (dies) but seriously now though this is a very well informed take on this banlist. I've seen quite a lot of people whinging on and on about "where's the unchained hit? where's the purrely hit?" and man, come on, neither of them are problematic at all, especially not in the level of racist visas starfrost. unchained has been meta for less than a month dude 😭 and people already want it hit? ygo players just want to see bloodshed I swear. honestly I want more banlists in the future to follow this example of banning (or otherwise weakening) the most problematic strategies in favour of a more diverse format. also thank you for defending d shifter. without it, one of my most beloved pet decks (ritual beast) would lose a necessary effect to put resources in the banished zone lol
  • I do not know if some digital bug player is arround here but, I just want a bit of support for my deck 😞

    I often think people cry for the sake of crying.

    The problem with Yugioh community reactions on the banlist is simple yet hard to grasp • We have the most complex game + the most casual gamebase due to the anime train. -> This is the real problem, this is why you hear such crazy and ban-worthy statements after each list: “Why didn’t they ban the deck I cannot win against? Why can’t I get unfair cards unbanned to win with minimal effort.” • Casuals should either stay on casual plane or play one piece. Casuals are also in my book people who want to play competitively but will never put on the hours and work this amazingly complex and difficult game requires.
  • @simorghfeather5119
    why are the zoodiacs still banned? i don't think heavy storm should still be banned, nor glow up bulb since halq is also banned
  • @invertfriend
    How does Droplet do anything to King Calamity? You cannot respond to his effect. Also, don't we still need the Books to deal with negates?
  • @FNigs
    This is arguably the worst ban list ever
  • @WongRei
    I believe the only thing I wanted to see banned next to arise-heart was the gimmick puppet monster that locks you from playing.
  • @TONKA-1993
    Dragon link gets hit almost everytime a banlist is released its getting boring now
  • @haxmode6935
    shifter arguement is so stupid. First off, your oppent is gonna make you commit before they shifter if they know what theyre doing. Its like max c, the risk of playing into talents vs the pros of making them turnskip and go neg is just not even an arguement. Thens there is the fact that if a decks whole identity revolves around playing a unsearchable 3 of that is useless to draw multipal of and needs to be drawn in your opening hand it shouldn't be a vaiable deck. Next there's the fact that multipal decks besides floow and exosister can use shifter. Finnal theres the fact that it's just not a fun card, which might blow your mine but the banlist shouldn't just acount for making a balence game, but also a fun one.
