Thoughts on Banlist Master Duel on November 22, 2024 and Tips for Newbies 🔥
This Forbidden/Limited List update has really "made waves" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel community. Some of the changes are very "intense" 💥 causing quite a few meta cards to be shaken up, but at the same time, it also opens up creative build directions for those who love innovation. Let's analyze it! 🚀
Unlimited Cards 🎉
Trickstar Light Stage (2 ⇒ 3)
Trickstar fans' "bestie" has made a strong comeback! Being released to 3 will revive the legendary "burn" gameplay 🔥. If you want to control the game without too many complicated combos, Trickstar will be a great choice.Chronograph Sorcerer (1 ⇒ 3)
Pendulum players are probably having a blast 🕺. The return of Chronograph in 3 versions not only helps stabilize the strategy but also allows you to build stronger Pendulum Decks like Magician or Odd-Eyes. The best of the best !
Semi-Limited Cards ⚡
- Lightning Storm (3 ⇒ 2)
Reducing it to 2 copies is a slight "nerf" but still makes Lightning Storm a must-have in most Decks. However, newbies can try other options like Twin Twisters or Raigeki , which are both effective and affordable 💸.
Limited Cards 🚨
Dimension Shifter (2 ⇒ 1)
Having only 1 copy significantly reduces the power of Decks like Floowandereeze or Runick. Don't rely too much on Shifter , prepare other control tools to avoid "going bust" when you can't draw this card 😅.Fairy Tail - Snow (3 ⇒ 1)
The "Ice Goddess" is officially frozen! ❄️ This will make it difficult for strategies like Branded or Shaddoll that rely on Graveyard. If you are a newbie, find a build that is less dependent on Graveyard resources.PSY-Framegear Gamma (2 ⇒ 1)
This powerful card being limited will force you to rack your brain 🤯 for alternatives. Infinite Impermanence or Effect Veiler are good options, both effective and versatile.
Forbidden Cards 🚫
- Pot of Prosperity (1 ⇒ 0)
This is the biggest "shock" of the banlist this time! 🌪️ The complete ban of Pot of Prosperity will cause many Deck combos to lose stability. However, for newbies, this is also good news because Pot is quite expensive 💸. Try replacing it with Pot of Desires or Pot of Extravagance if it suits your strategy.
Tips and Deck Building Guide for Newbies 🌟
Choose a Deck that is easy to play but effective
Decks like Sky Striker , Tri-Brigade , or Zoodiac are great choices. They're easy to get into and aren't too affected by new banlists. Play them! 💪Invest in Alternative Hand Traps
With the nerfs to Gamma and Shifter , newbies can switch to Ash Blossom , Effect Veiler , or even Ghost Ogre – which are both cheap and easy to use.Change the card breaking tool
Reducing the number of Lightning Storms will make you more flexible. Try Cosmic Cyclone or Harpie's Feather Duster to keep the advantage in destroying your opponent's cards. Destroy hard, win fast! 💥Try Pendulum for fun
With Chronograph Sorcerer back, Pendulum Decks like Magician will be easier to run. If you want to "flex" the ultimate combo, try exploring it! 🤩Flexibility with Side Deck
This list emphasizes the importance of Side Decks. Add cards like Evenly Matched or Dark Ruler No More to deal with tough Decks. Prepare now so you don't cry later! 😎
Conclusion 💯
The 11/22 banlist not only makes the meta "on fire" 🔥 but is also an opportunity for newbies to experiment with creative strategies. Take advantage of this time to build a suitable Deck, explore your favorite playstyle, and enjoy the game in your own way. Yu-Gi-Oh! is always a creative playground, and you are the one who creates miracles! 🌟
