But why put a card that's fine at 3 to 0 just to stop a very mediocre loop? If anything, ban Lavalval Chain.

Banning Lavalval is the optimal answer, but I think they'd Limit it ahead of straight to banned.

 

Oni here comes off as hilarious in retrospect because it makes it seem like nobody anticipated how big Xyz would become.

Someone top 32'd a Nats with this so it's something I guess. Though even if it doesn't have a competitive impact, wouldn't be the first time something like this got hit just for the sake of hitting loops.

Someone went X-0 with Volcanics at YCS after Reload got released iirc and no one wants Volcanics to be hit, soooo.

 

But yeah, I agree, they have a tendency of hitting loops for the sake of it.

Djinn lock, Spell cancellering Nekroz out of the game, OTKing Nekroz in the mirror by stacking GK commandant, some clownblade antics.

I predict Clownblade shenanigans incoming.

It makes getting perfectly set up in Clownblade stupidly easy @2.

 

If you found either a Blades or a Clown and a second R4 to summon, you can instantly just be set up for the rest of the game, and use the second one (Detaching blades) to dump/stack a Seraph or dump a Damajuggler.

 

You're completely ready to float and explode, and you have your combo pieces in place for either immediate gratification or the turn after.

 

Without Lavalval Chain (esp. without 2 Lavalval Chain), the deck doesn't do nearly as much unfair things, as the consistency it has to do such is greatly diminished, and it would mean running suboptimal cards like Mathman in order to get going properly.

 

There's also the general fact that Armageddons/Mathmen are just really strong cards, and chain is one of those with upsides on demand and opt per copy. Keeping a chain(s) alive for a turn is a game winner.

But it does now... Just because it's in the top deck doesn't mean it's not problematic, are you waiting for a sheet deck to become good because of Chain to hit it?

Yes. I see no reason in banning a card that's not threatening at the moment.

 

If we go by "what ifs", we should ban half of the cards.
