Talk amongst yourselves.
Personally, I really like the new banlist. Malicious back to 3 has me really hyped to see what I can do with it. I don’t like Shick Master banned, or Compulse to 1, but I think it will be okay to deal. What would be another good triple rank 4 do you think? I was considering Number 32: Shark Drake. I think this is Konami trying to open up the format to new decks to emerge.
My deck being based on Rank 4 ‘Number Monsters’ using Heraldic Beasts, I was bummed about Shock Master. So now I’m stuck between No.32 Shark Drake or No.10 Illumiknight. Ideas??
Heraldry Crest is probably your best bet, especially since you’re talking Heraldic Beasts. Vylon Disigma is pretty good too. In my opinion, I’d say never summon a triple Rank 4 again because they’re bad.
evilswarm oroborus isnt horriable, but you should never under ANY circumstance consider #10 illumiknight worst xyz monster ever. i know you want number monsters but most of them frankly kinda suck, all the best rank 4’s except blackship arnt numbers #44 sky pegasus is ok utopia is ok & i cant think of another thats any good really
evilswarm oroborus is the next best tripple rank 3. it sure looks like konami set up a dart board & let little kids throw darts at cards to pick n choose what gets hit, this is crazy its understandable but utterly insane do they want control or do they want everyone to otk the crap outa everyone. t.g agents, blackwings, zombies, d heros, its just so much to take in im utterly lost half my fire fist deck is now banned or limited lol.
They Banned STRATOS!?!…. (speechless) but didn’t touch Ophion?!..This will be interesting. …Blackwings are back!! Just need 2 Gale to really set them OFF!
I had just made major progress in my 3-4-5-6 Axis fire fist, but spirit to 1 hurts the deck a lot! I’m wondering what the best set up will e for the 3* engine. 1 Spirit, xLeopard and xRooster. Back to the drawing board! Already have a few different FFist builds in mind, just need to test them again!
Also I’m excited to see a new list every 4 months instead of every 6 months. The rotating of card on/off the list more often will help keep the game fresh, forcing us to change our decks and “staples” more often!
I’m glad some of the crazy powercards like Gateway and Card Destruction finally got hit. They were auto-win buttons in their respective decks.
I really liked that Water/Malicious deck you guys made but the banlist hit the deck reeaally hard. With 0 baby dragon, 1 dragoon, and 1 diva, do you guys think the deck is still viable? I’m not sure which water monsters could replace the ones which got hit.
