Thoughts on the latest Banlist! 🌟
Hello, cool young Gen Z Duelists! 🔥 The brand new Banlist has just arrived, and it's super exciting! From unlocking more powerful cards to limiting annoying "final bosses", this Banlist will definitely change the meta quite a bit. Here are my thoughts, along with tips on how to play around the changes and suggested deck builds for newbies! 💡✨
🔓 Newly Unlimited: Released
Notable names:
- Eva (2 ⇒ 3): Fairy type is great! This card makes a strong comeback for those who are playing Herald or Drytron. 😇
- Dinowrestler Pankratops (2 ⇒ 3): Best boi to clear the field, especially useful when you play second. 🦖💥
- Destiny HERO - Malicious (2 ⇒ 3): HERO deck welcomes the enthusiastic Malicious brothers! HERO players must be very happy. ❤️🔥
- Purrely Delicious Memory (2 ⇒ 3): Purrely fans, hearing this makes you feel "delicious", right? 😋🐾
💡 Tips for playing:
- Use Pankratops in most second-play decks to put a lot of pressure on your opponent's first turn.
- Eva is a great piece to add consistency to Fairy-based decks!
⚖️ Newly Semi-Limited: A Little Restraint
Notable leaves:
- Performapal Monkeyboard (1 ⇒ 2): Pendulum players have been slightly buffed! Pendulum has a chance to dominate again. 🎭✨
- Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King (1 ⇒ 2): This is the real "king". But it's hard to use effectively because it requires specific engines. 👑
- Snatch Steal (1 ⇒ 2): Steal an opponent's monster and turn the tide. Awesome, huh? 😏
💡 Tips for playing:
- Pendulum players can experiment with Chronograph Sorcerer + Monkeyboard to optimize field setup.
- Snatch Steal is a fun tech card, but use it carefully because it heals your opponent!
⚠️ Newly Limited: You can only use one card!
Typical victims:
- Cyber Jar (0 ⇒ 1): If you like playing meme decks or retro formats, this is a "must-try"! 🤖💣
- Gozen Match (2 ⇒ 1): Control decks got a slight nerf, making it a bit harder to lock field.
- Artifact Scythe (3 ⇒ 1): Bye-bye lock Extra Deck. This is necessary to avoid toxic meta. 🛡️
💡 Tips for playing:
- Cyber Jar can be added to Fun Decks or meme builds for super cool highlights.
- Artifact Scythe is now less of a problem in trap-heavy decks than it used to be.
🚫 Newly Forbidden: Goodbye
"Fallen" leaves:
- Abyss Dweller (3 ⇒ 0): A counter card that's too strong for graveyard-centric decks. The meta will be a bit lighter.
💡 Tips for playing:
- Abyss Dweller being banned means decks like Tearlaments and Shaddoll can operate more comfortably. But be prepared to counter it.
Deck building suggestions for newbies:
- HERO Deck: With Malicious back, HERO is a sustainable, accessible, and super cool option! 🦸♂️
- Purrely Deck: Use Purrely Delicious Memory to create a super cute and powerful field. 🐾
- Pendulum Magician: Use Monkeyboard and Chronograph to explode the field. 🎩✨
💡 Tips for newbies:
- Prioritize building decks with simple but effective combos.
- Always add hand traps or spell/trap to counter common strategies.
- Learn how to side deck properly to deal with different meta decks.
✨ Summary: This new banlist is a balance between the old meta and the opportunity for other decks to emerge. If you are a newbie, take advantage of easy-to-use cards like Pankratops, Malicious to gradually improve your skills. Wish you all have fun dueling and always draw the best cards! 🌟
