The OCG surely looked at the TCG to see the absolute wreckage that Goyo Guardian was making of the metagame. They wisely held off from unbanning its degenerate arsehole until it was safely errata'd such that a certain tuner would be required to access the supreme power of what is still, surely, the best Level 6 Synchro ever made.

If we were still in the Synchro era, this was the way Goyo should have been from the beginning to give it a sort of give & take with other Leve 6 Synchros other than "Gaia doesn't fall for Fiendish Chain". If they ever make a cube format like the Battle Pack series again and decide to include it, it'll be pretty fair.

 

Though speaking of the real world, this was probably the most unnecessary change out of all of them. It's not like Goyo was even being considered. Big ATK stats are less of an issue with every coming generation of the game, and now that Synchros are not the dominant deck, now that we have other good Level 6 generic Synchros that can give it a run for its money, and now that there's a widely popular mechanic that doesn't go to the Graveyard when destroyed by it, it is more nerfed than ever.

And now that Brio is back, making the Level 6 pool even better w/o the mighty Goyo

This card is pretty terrible, outside of beating, and I still don't get why the OCG is terrified of it.

 

Super unnecessary, but Gaia isn't outclassed now, and GUB is still an amazing earth tuner

Gaia wasn't outclassed. Infernoids and rando non-Effect support like Emeral saw to that. The latter half is more technical, but they had already corrected the design space.

Tele-DAD was a format, a generic lv 6 crossing the 2500 barrier is just silly design

 

The decks can need it can still run it at the end of the day

That isn't a modern format. It was good then. Don't make points that are irrelevant to the discussion.

 

No decks need it. It isn't good. Xyz and Pendulum are, largely, useless with it, and you're going to see a lot of those.

How would it work vs Artifacts? 

 

Like could you get moraltach effect off. 

 

I don't know why OCG errata'd it. But, Kin-TeleDAD did left a bad taste in people's mouth, and we only need to look at TER too see that Konami holds grudges. 

 

In most decks it outclasses Gaia types, but that's not a great reason to errata a card.

When I read the title I half-hoped the errata was removing the "sends it to the Graveyard" condition from the effect.

Instead, it was nerfed, when it wasn't really doing anything in the TCG metagame, so I'm puzzled on why OCG took this decision.

I would wait till the card actually comes out

 

The first translations of the sangan errata were pretty weak too

 

(Like originally you can't search cards that you had activated prior to sangan triggering, so if you sent sangan after activating maxx c, you can't search another maxx c)

 

It's doubtful, but the Jump has messed up on Erratas before mildly.
