What I think about the new banlist


The new list gives a lot of mixed feelings for everyone. I'm not too sure about what I feel... this list solve a lot of problems of the meta, but sangan will be in the game to make tour guide a high price card. This force people to make a lot xyz summons, and abuse of rescue rabbit via sangan, another example of this is call of the hunted, now we can easily bring sangan with tour guide and then bring him back with call of the hunted.

We barely have mind crush to avoid the sangan's search, but that isn't enough. That only makes GK stronger than they already are. In the other hand, we have summoner monk at two. A big push for scrap decks, since they are now capable of make scrap dragon, any other syncro of lv8, arcanite magician, roach, utopia or any other xyz of rank 4. In fact, we have a lot of card to hide ourselves (gravity bind or swords of reveling light) until we make a xyz summon.

To avoid all those xyz summons we only have royal tribute (for GK) and mind crush to enhance our victory. And we have icarus attack again, now BW can fly again to stop syncro and xyz monsters. Also sirocco is a great card against roach, like gale or vayu or anything else. But that's it; nothing else can stop xyz monsters...

Sure we got a lot of material for chaos and lightsworm. But soon the priority rule will disappear and all those special summon (lv6+) will be food for roach and bottomless trap hole (and deep bottomless trap hole)

As you can see, konami didn't touch machina or fairies. But they limit the power and consistency of plants and six samurais. So, you should be prepare for a season of no-syncro monsters, this time the battle will be between high star monsters and xyz monsters. Too much work for steelwarm roach?
