- Cold Wave to 0 - Given.
- Mind Control to 0 - This is worse than Brain Control, to an extent. No one Tribute Summons anymore, and this hits face-downs, making it immune to Book of Moon.
- Mind Master to 0 - It facilitates FTK's.
- Heavy Storm to 1 - I liked the game better when it wasn't back row-wars.
- Mystical Space Typhoon to 1 - This goes hand in hand with Heavy Storm.
- Judgment Dragon to 1 - This should've happened forever ago.
- Gateway of the Six to 1 - Same as Judgment Dragon, but now it's seriously affecting the meta.
- XX-Saber Faultroll to 1 - The real problem behind X-Saber swarms.
- Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North to 1 - One-card Brionac for a deck that's already sacky? No thanks.
- Dandylion to 1 - The tokens are generated far too easily by recurring this card multiple times for free.
- Solemn Warning to 1 - I like being able to summon my Monsters.
- Treeborn Frog to 1 - Kind of the same idea as Dandylion. It mitigates the cost of Tribute and Synchro Summoning too well.
- Fishborg Blaster to 1 - This hurts Fish OTK.
- Royal Tribute to 1 - Gravekeeper's don't deserve a super Crush Card Virus.
- Necro Gardna to 2 - This is my only selfish hope for the ban list.
- Gold Sarcophagus to 3 - Same as six months ago. It could help my Cyber Ouroboros draw engine, but I won't care either way.
Yeah, it's not in order because I just wrote it up as I thought of the cards, for the most part. There's actually a lot more that I want than last year. I guess it's because there are so many more good decks nowadays.
I was thinking of Necro Gardna to 2 too. Negating attacks is technically a -1, but its just so abusable. I personally would want it to 2, but idk how healthy it would be for the game.
ReplyDeleteBan Mind Control? That one threw me off. How is Mind Control immune to Book? I mean it technically is, but thats why people Book the other monster being used for the synchro...
Yeah, gold sarco to 3 agreed.
ReplyDeleteIt's a -1 for two turns.
@Michael Bonacini
ReplyDeleteI don't know that Necro Gardna going to two would be good for the game. In fact, with Lightsworn still around, it would probably be bad for the game, to a certain extent. But, it's my favorite card, and I want to be able to use it again...
As for Mind Control, you can Book of Moon the other Monster if they're going to use it for a Synchro. Well, sometimes; other times, their other Monster was already on the field from a previous turn, and the Book of Moon you were depending on to stop a Synchro becomes useless. With Brain Control, you can just prevent them from taking your Monster altogether, which is almost impossible to do against Mind Control.
Either way, Mind Control isn't used exclusively to steal a Monster to Synchro with. It could be used to take a Dark Armed Dragon or Scrap Dragon to clear out an opponent's card while also destroying the Dragon. Or, it can be used to steal a Flip Effect. The only real downside is that the Monster taken can't attack, but that's something that's almost always avoided.
@Kamitsure
The only downside to having yet another Gold Sarcophagus would be helping up those inconsistent OTK decks that depend entirely on one or two cards. For instance, Hopeless Dragons, Fish OTK, and maybe even Infernities.
I do like the idea of having a more consistent Cyber Ouroboros draw engine, which could also be combined with Dark Desertapir.
if solumn warning goes to 1 royal oppression should go to 2

ReplyDeleteRoyal Oppression cuts off a game mechanic at a negligible cost while also gaining card advantage. Moreover, it's used to secure a win after its controller has already Special Summoned a bunch of Monsters.
There's barely a relationship between Royal Oppression and Solemn Warning, anyway. Solemn Warning is used more to negate Normal Summons than Special Summons.
