Yes. Let us speak about him and his ability to cause wins in the meta game consistently enough to warrant his own ban, and how he himself causes other cards to be designed 'badly'.

I still want to staunchly defend this card but seeing all the loops this card caused finally convinced me that this is one of those "Stupid s*** will happen in the future" cards that'll utterly ruin a format (see: Substitoad and Mind Control to a lesser extent). That being said, all the combos that Brionac loops with still have at least one problem card in them regardless of the loop and without them Brionac wouldn't be an issue. But banning it would be best as a preventative measure.

There was never anything wrong with Brionac when it was originally made. I thought it was one of the more well-designed cards at the time, actually. Mainly because of how effectively it punished overextension with Synchro monsters at a time when Synchro monsters were spammed all over the place. If only it were a "once per turn" effect and the discarding not a cost :<

Because Exodia is perfect design. Or is it because Exodia tops all the time?

It won't get a ban, but it deserves one more than a lot of cards, simply because of the stupid ass loops it brings into existence that will eventually get to a consistent point.

I remember last format when I said that Brionac wouldn't get banned because of the Chaos Format. People here thought I was stupid. Look where Brio is now. Right where he is. And I'm glad.

Nah, they were spot on. Arguing they'd keep this alive for chaos is probably te absolute stupidest reason I've heard for it.

The logic of "doesn't top, isn't hit" is at least applicable because that's how Konami rolls, sadly. No one thought it would be banned, just said it deserved it.

And of course the self destruct button troll wants loops in the game.

As much as we all wish Brionac would go to 0, all of it's loops are just idiotic and situational :/
And more often then not, rely purely, if not, mostly, on luck.

Whats an Actual Gameplay?[/quote]
Beat the 6 "clones" of yourself.
All in a row, no breaks, no Lifepoint reset at all.
All of them use ridiculously overpowered decks, one of which, was designed specifically to abuse the hell out of Brionac.

This.
Wc09's story mode was not only half-assed, but the final boss was ungodly broken.

On-Topic: SO, HOW ABOUT THEM LIBRARIAN LOOPS. ...owait, that was another past format.

nobody plays the WC games for the story[/quote]
I give the story modes 1, MAYBE 2 pass throughs, just to unlock all the packs and "legitamitly" have the game recognize all the cards I got via AR.

Konami's banning focuses:
A. Ban cards that top.
B. Make cards that make cards that should not top, top.
C. Make cards that make cards that should top, not top.
D. Understand that cards that should top are broken, but ignore them because of focuses A, B, and C.

I don't see how Brio has anything to do with people thinking you're stupid, tbh.

Am I the only one who completed WC11 without cheats, and got all cards?
[/quote]
Yes, yes you are.

OT: With only 2 OCG Synchro decks (Laval & LSS) there may never be a day when this goes, unless super consistent loop appears. (I am referencing the Exodia policy)

OT: The three-headed abomination is gone, shame the first-level evolution won't go.
[/quote]I'm at 90% of cards owned and going up.

OT:Yay, OTK and loop machine! Hooray!
