WTF >Construct LOL
RIP Shaddolls

I don't get it...does this have something to do with their cyber steins/Temple? D:

Yeah, Construct seems like a random choice to go straight to banned.

About damn time. Those four are the most poorly designed monster cards I've ever seen.

Sooner or later, the main Rulers were going to get themselves banned anyway, considering their design. (It's also why we can't have nice things in CC and other places)

Considering that new Xyz Red-Eyes just got; and Odd-Eyes Rebellion, they'd make Xyzing into them much too easy.

 

That being said, the babies don't have any reason being banned after this one; so they go off the list.

 

(Eventually TCG will slash them as well; once things come up)

 

---

I'm a bit iffy on them putting the long-time banlist cards @3 (Sinister Serpent, Exchange of Spirit, etc.); even with the erratas, but we'll just have to see how things go.

 

As for Vanity's, limiting it should help to tone down the game a bit (considering how much it's being used; especially in triples). It'll still be a pain in the neck to deal with, but at least not as much. (* keeps JP Vanity's in safe area *)

 

They hit Nekroz Brio, but then again, he searches like crazy in the Deck, so...

what.

WHAT. 

WAT>>

Dafuq is construct doing at @0 and El Shaddoll Fusion at @1? As if it was not the *only* thing that could somehow advance them in the qli matchup, and even that is entirely bullshit. 

As if this deck needed any more kicking in the guts after those idiots brought Shaddoll Fusion and Shadow Games to @1? 

 

And as expected, let's be double faced and hit Qliphorth Tool by only 1 copy

~claps hands~

To be fair, Shadolls has survived like 4 attempts of killing them off.

 

Of course KoJ started to get pissed up at them.

 

Shaddolls OPed.

 

 

This list looks funny, really.

Hit Nephilim but unlimit Midrash, are they forcing Shaddolls to play with non-LIGHTs or something?

DRulers ban, finally.

Mathman was Limited... curious to know if it was a hit because of its impact, design, or both.

Monster Gate unlimited for more Infernoid fun I guess?

Meanwhile, they quietly brought cute toys from decks that were relevant in the past, such as Hornet and Rooster.

Mathman was probably Limited because they just got the original 3 BA and Dante. Between that and Shaddoll, Mathman had a decent impact on our format. I'll assume it was a Shaddoll hit tho, seeing as they are trying to shaft them.

This list tho. Mad af bout Construct and the other Shaddoll hits, but everything else makes me have faith in humanity. After so long....

This banlist is horrible. Actually, this is the first OCG banlist I actually hate. Well, actually, I have one problem with this list, but it is a huge problem: the Qliphort hit. I mean, they hit Saqlifice, but they still have 2 Scouts and each other searchers and tools (3 Skill Drain & 3 "Mini-Qli-Drain-Fagotty-Trap") that makes this deck Tier 1 (at least until the release of CORE).

 

Well, I guess I have to find an alternate method for limiting Scouts. I have to buy each copies and literally destroy them so no one can use them.

Shaddoll became the best deck in the game again in the OCG when Nekroz got hit and we all know how Konami deals with people playing "outdated" deck types. *cough*plants*cough*

 

I absolutely understand why Shaddoll were hit but I'm just surprised because Konami tend to hold back on bans of archetype-specific cards and when they do it's an absolutely integral part of the deck such as Zenmaity, whereas I don't really see Construct as a problem card as much as El-Fusion (admittedly they did hit that ) and, well, probably Hedgehog are. I don't think it's a bad hit, just an odd one.

While I disagree with them hitting it, Construct was likely hit due to 2 reasons:

 

1. Technically not integral

2. Yuki Usagi, a card that was main/sided in most everything, but especially potent in dolls due to being fusion, synchro, and hand trap fodder.
