Loop machine leading to restrictive card design, game winner and ridiculously easy to summon all at the same time? Pfft, why would that be bannable?

It's loops are mediocre and have never restricted card design ever,nothing has.

The whole reason why brionac ever OTKed/won games is recurrable tuners or decks using them which benefit from discards,which have faded into obsurity,we havent even had a decent tuner since GENF let alone one that profits from discarding. It lost it's OTK push power after march 2010 wiped out zombies and lightsworn making ideas of brionac into ha des or brionac into judgment dragon stopped being realistic issues,came back for plants just barely,then faded out again. It will never OTK in non loop bad decks again if konami while konami is still promoting xyzes.

Being powerful is what i like about it,consolidate into bosses at a bad time and overextend with them and brionac drops will most likely very appropriately ruin you,but if you conserve resources and play carefully brio drops are a nonissue. You [i]can[/i] try using it aggressively,but you probably wont run more than 1 anyway because of space issues in most decks, so if you dont time it right it's the same as wasting dark hole/mirror force at a bad time and you lose the opportunity to ruin your opponent's reckless play later.

If brionac really is a problem you either deserve getting smacked around by him for overextending or the set-ups that allow you to put 5700 damage while still being able to synchro 6 AND let you keep enough cards in hand to clear away your opponent's field deserve extra attention themselves.

While i do admit that brionac isnt exactly the most well designed card in the bunch,the discard restriction along with being a -1 every time it hits a non extra deck boss is a lot more debilitating in a better format where cards dont just come from the sky and balance it out nicely,alongside the -1 to synchro and his pitiful stats.

The second copy is a neat addition,but there arent that many situations where you feel "I really wish i had a second brionac right now".

Brionac has redeeming factors and is usable outside of loop contexts be it as a soft control card or small aggressive push while stuff like atlanthal and etc are just complete trash or completely format destructively broken with no redeeming factors or any potential good use outside of F/OTK,those are far worse for game than brionac can be.
