100% agree with the point beginning at 24:15 of playing around handtraps rather than just having a card that directly plays through them. Even if they aren't always the best options or even necessarily strong, cards like Called By and Crossout are fundamentally problematic in that they allow players to play as if handtraps do not exist. Doesn't matter if you play your Ash/Veiler/Belle/etc in the correct spot; unfortunately opening the 1/40 CBTG or 3/40 Crossout just means you can go fuck yourself for even thinking about interacting on turn 1. I'm sure nobody thinks that's a "skillful" interaction or an "outplay", and I'm pretty sure it doesn't even feel great being the player that does it, you're just kind of like "yeah sorry you played it right, but haha my card says you don't get to play!" Thinking about your combos and how they play into common handtraps DURING deckbuilding rather than just going "ehh IDK wtf to do and I don't wanna think about combos, guess I'll just put CBTG/Crossout so my opponent can't play" should be the 'skill base' (as you put it) we are held to. On top of that, we should be held to the minimum standard of at least THINKING about how we want to play our turns, rather than opening cards like TTT, CBTG, Crossout, and then immediately going 'huh, guess I can just do the most ignorant combo I've ever done in my life because they can't interact on my turn'. Anyways, enough rambling; just wanted to comment that what you mentioned at that timestamp really resonated with me and I think it's the best point you made in the whole video in terms of overall card design. Appreciate the long form content, as always!
@@N3shTCG on this same topic I think misc is quite similar Sure dino is not a strong contender, but misc almost feels like called by on steroids for the strategy The semilimit or the unlimit of misc would be likely and it won’t probably affect much the meta, but it will be surely frustrating and less skill expressive having an answer to most of the hand interruptions similar to called by
Apollousa (and baronne) banned is very interesting, as a way to make endboards less generic and playing around Nibiru harder, but I don't think its happening. If archetypes had good enough extra decka bosses there would be no need for these, but for some reason Konami feels comfortable still printing stuff like Mannadium Prime Heart, who does nothing.
re crossout: if a card is only worth hitting because of how it performs in tier 0 formats, then does that card really merit being hit? isn't that more indicative of an unhealthy format than an unhealthy card? i personally wouldn't wanna see people stopped from balancing their deck building by fitting in the cards that hurt it + crossout simply because it turns into solemn judgment in tier 0 formats.
Finally a prediction/wishlist where someone thinks electrumite can come back❤️ low key hate that people think pendulum would be some super tier 1 deck that would ruin the game as if we haven’t dealt with bigger threats in the last few years.
100% agree with some kind of relief on monster gate and reasoning, would be a huge boost to infernoid :) i also think there may be a slight chance something gets moved to incentivize lightsworn's new wave of support as well
I love the idea of kashtira being a engine that you can slapsh into decks. I hate the runick is probably getting hit because to shitty to hit all floodgates properly. And if we starting putting all floodgates to one is gonna get to a point where every stun deck is gonna be 1,1,1,1,1. Floodgates needs to be ban. No way they hitting prosperity, just no way. And either you ban Snake Eyes Ash or do other hit, maybe savage and baronne, why not? For those asking for Jet Synchron i get, but snake eyes players would just play misc and the turner Dino lv1 or just the turner. You still would end on one omni negate. Or they play Kash engine, unicorn to one and Planet at 3 with terraforming makes even better than what is in master duel.
I think this might be the single best banlist prediction I've seen so far in terms of reasoning and reasonability. I only think that the actual banlist will have somewhat less hits and unbans (maybe no Unicorn hit and no Reasoning/Gate semi limit etc.). Really good work there @N3sh P.S. Watch the whole f@#*ing video! N3sh uses something crazy called logic.
Its a nice banlist, but I think the Dragon Ruler tidal should be back at 1 and maybe Blaster or Tempest at 2 because they do nothing with Tomahawk and Auroradon banned, but the list is nice because you included some gamebreaking cards like Anti Spell and a Snake Eyes hit is also very important.
Il tuo inglese è stupendo 😂 i agree ash has to be limited but im not sure if this would happen in this banlist or the next one (this is kinda the same spot where tearlement was). Has to happen at some point (this card is broken). The most logical thing to do is ban jet synchron as Pak said. I dont think floodgate would be hit the reason why is because most of the topcut on tournament are fire decks, runick stun is an anti meta deck. Yes is toxic but thats not how konami does things when they make banlist, they usually looks on the stats and results, most of konami employs dont play the game. They gonna hit cards depending if they gain money. For calamity is a 50/50 because looking at old banlist it always happen 1 year later like mystic mine or the xyz utopic etc... this are kinda the same scenario. At some point bonfire would go to 1 garanteed even doesnt do anything atm. They defently want to promote fire decks. As long they dont reprint fire cards i dont think would happen. Still very horrible the fact S:P is still stupidly expensive, hopefully they reprint him soon. EDIT: What i mean fire decks would be meta regardless of this banlist or not.
jet to 1 seems unreasonable cause 1hta stops his access and the best version in ocg with 18 flex was pure without jet. Calamity as u said i agree. Thanks for your comment!
Either not limiting or banning Super Poly is a shit take. I guess letting Yubel walk around with an entire field wipe is ok to you then. Its gonna become the next tier threat.
Shifter is not healthier for a format than Maxx C. Maxx C is a 1-turn HT that can actually be responded to in multiple ways (ash, crossout, called by, etc). Shifter is just an auto-win card because you can’t respond if played on opponent turn (rip gamma) and that also kills rogue decks more then it helps it ! 100% disagree that it is a necessary evil, droll & lock bird is
Commenting this part before I finish the video cause I genuinely get infuriated by the people asking for it: you can only bring kit back after banning a single tear name. And y’all need to stop coping merrli is not the problem it’s scheiren that needs to go
I don't think they will limit crossout, heavy storm or fountain, the rest is pretty spot on. Another hit that I think is going to happen is wanted to 1, the cards is broken.
snake eye ash, flamberge, poplar, and wanted to 1. bonfire to 2 jet synchron banned. Sanctifier, anti spell, summon limit banned idk what else I would hit.
accurate enought but i dont agree that masterpiece should ever leave the ban section , stun decks are a thing and runick can easily absue this shiet,also why no branded hits like fusion or albaz to 1
@@N3shTCGHitting Unicorn would make it a way worse engine in that case. Also Kash in itself isn't even that much of a threat and is only seeing results due to the current top deck hurting to shifter and birth.
The way Runick should be hit is Hugin to 0 since it does literally everything for the deck. It turns any Runick quickplay into a Fountain, it protects Fountain and it's not once per turn. If you ban it, Runick will still be playable, but less consistent (with still technically 12 copies of Fountain if it stays at 2, and that's excluding Demise of the Land and Metaverse) and it disables the synergy with spright.
i dont think the synchro version is currentlly viable. Might be in the future especially if they hit branded fusion u can try an hibryd tho. like just play dispater and seal
Writing this while watching: - I disagree with Calamity, but this take 100% sold me on the "this is a prediction not a wishlist" because I also believe it's not getting banned to promote Centurion support. - About hitting Ash, ok it's a super and a consistency hit. I wonder how limiting both Poplar and Flam would work with the dynamics of the deck essentially turning Poplar into a "soft brick" when drawn since you need to commit the normal or snake float into it, while limiting Flam gives value to DD Crow and makes the Nibiruproof line a bit awkward. - Kirin to 1. It's the most pointless hit since every fire deck can just drop FK or play with one making no difference, OCG did it, people think it's right. I can't disagree more. - Finally someone said it about both Skill Drain and Powersink Stone. The 2nd card is BROOOOOOOKEN. - You want a skill based game, I want it to. But the banlist is used to promote sales so I don't think they will touch Feather Storm (and DDG, DBarrier, EEV, Shifter as well) - Sanctifire breaks card design. Such a shame it's the coolest boss monster of Branded and a single negate to what summons on the opponent's board would be enough to prevent loops/toxic interactions. An errata would make perfect sense and not destroy the card like CED and other failed ones. - Kit with 1 Tear Kash, 1 Sulliek, 1 Perle, 1 Havnis, 0 Merrli is still top tier in Master Duel and one of the very few decks you just auto scoop if you don't open interruptions (like against SHS, Mannadium, Infernoble, Mathmech). Snakes are tier 2 by comparison in TCG with the only change being Kit to 1. - Gamma feels like a winbutton when used on your turn, but I believe it should be at 2. A fair balance to Shifter. Also lol I remember your "special skill" drawing Gamma 3 times in a row on random db shuffles (when you tried an impossible invoked deck that WORKED HOW none knows still) - Electrumite turns the entire mechanic into a pendulum soup deck, and despite being a pendulum enjoyer I don't believe we'll ever get it back. - Both Prosp and TTTalent should be semi limited, then limited a banlist later. - The right hit isn't Fountain. It has always been limit Hugin. - Misc is a floodgate since it prevents player interaction, that is also an extender. Just think of a Warrior, Fiend, Cyberse, or Dragon Misc and case closed. I will always blame this card for gimmick dino support and limiting dino card design (looking at you dinomorbia and transcendosaurus) - "Shifter is our Maxx C" *_dies inside_* - Heavy Storm is a bit scary because of what it can pop on your side. I would rather have a LS at 3 first. - Crossout is so format-dependent the same could be said about Dweller etc. One time being broken, next time completely irrelevant. - About Uni/Kash in general, I believe Fen and Uni should go to 2 (hot take: should have banned Birth instead of Ariseheart with Uni also at 1, but since it's as good of a gatekeeper as Colossus it's worth the ban so rest in piss). - Apollo is getting 2 reprints (the alt art) just like IP in Rarity Collection 2. Personally, I believe this is the time to talk about IP instead of Apollo. Abusing floating effects and turning SP into an interruption from a boardbreaker is busted and it actually makes SP "fair".
Brother, you are capping hard on shifter take it is the SAME reasoning people were using on Mystic mine, that mystic mine is the TCG Maxx"c" equivalent, what happened at the end of the day ? it got banned lol Shifter is in NO WAY a necessary evil, and it is just a matter of time before it goes. Maxx"c" adds shit and only toxicity to the game. and one day, droll will join them. Crossout will NOT get even semi limited, card never saw play and sees play only now, a one format card, if ever it gets limited tho, everyone will throw it in their deck which is weird. but yeah I really dont see them hitting a card that popped up in one format. I feel like sanctifire will dodge the list My honest opinion, I believe they will not hit hard the meta BUT we will get a lot of toys to distract us from the fact they didnt hit the meta
prosperity is not OP imo. everything else looks good. i think lightning storm should go to 3, that card is actually kindof weak imo. i say this as a going 2nd player. crossout is only OP in tirer 0 formats, which means it should never really get hit. if you r playing it purely for hand traps, the enemy can play around with board breakers. cant wait for pankratops to 3
Stop asking for Santifire to be banned. Yugitubers are honestly so delusional. So many archetypes get insane support and yall are crying about one negative experience you had against branded. Let branded have a crazy good quirk like all other decks instead of kicking it in the gut
Unpopular opinion: Konami non bandirà Albion. Perché? Tra tutte le carte che potrebbero finire nelle proibite è quella meno problematica, design breaker (🤦🏼♂️) o meno. Comunque sono curioso di vedere quanto pomperanno puppet dopo infinite forbidden😂 Temo ci sarà da piangere (aka FTK come se piovesse)
@@N3shTCG got that youtube red you getting extra money i got a question i stopped playing a bit before the adamancipator format do you have any suggestions for decks that aren’t flood gate based and is beginner friendly
The whole puppet or sanctifire argument is so silly. Why are yugioh players always like ‘ban the floodgate’ but when it comes to branded their logic goes out the window and they want to hit **checks notes** a card that is meant to summon albaz and a material for an albaz fusion…. Hit the floodgates. Ban puppet, ban Jowgen, ban the stuff that locks.
Maybe your bias over Branded is the silly one? Puppet IS NOT a floodgate like Jowgen or Artifact Scythe. Sanctifire breaks card design to turn poppet into a floodgate. You can literally not have any punishing mandatory/continuous restriction because instead of the owner suffering it you drop it to your opponent. Sanctifire's design to loop Albaz is really cool, all it needed was to prevent the activation and negate the effect of the monster summoned to the opponent's field, immediately disabling most FTK/toxic loops involving it.
@@babrad played branded for all of two weeks before I got Swordsoul… The deck is fine and is the only budget tier 1.5 ish deck. If we want to retain budget and young players we need to protect cheap meta decks. Cards in future will place monsters on the opponents field. It seems insanely dumb to not hit puppet and crappy stun cards and instead hit an in archetype semi-boss monster.
@@EdisonLocalsMK with the exception of Ido all the rest are NOT STUN CARDS that's the issue. And there are 10+ target I can immediately think right now, there will be way more if I do a search. Also Branded is NOT budget, the deck is easily at 300$ then even more to play properly with Thrust. Unchained is a much more budget and fair deck in comparison. With Maze reprints even snake-less rescue is more budget than Branded and also a fair deck. About future cards, if you saw the Summon Sorc errata, even there it was recognized that summoning to the opponent's field with full effects was a mistake and now it negates the effect. So I guess my point is proven.
@@babrad branded is literally 3 structure decks, a couple of fusions and a thrust package if you want. Even the nadir is cheap now. The only card above $10 is Quem… a one of. Jowgen is played in Runick stun and the only worthwhile target is puppet as it’s over level 6 dark so can be sent with Granguignol. Yeah and errata to Albion is fine, Konami knew they made the mistake with Expulsion but banning Albion seems insanely dumb when you could hit the useless gimmick puppet card (the card that actually causes the lock) and remove the lock from the game while not crippling the only budget near-meta deck.
@@EdisonLocalsMK ok so 30€ then let's check other prices: - 2 Guignol 30 - 2 Quem 70 - 1 Chimera 20 - 3 Thrust 105 - 1 Lubellion 10 - 1 Sanctifire 15 - 1 Garura 12 - 3 Branded Opening 15 This ignores one offs etc like Rindbrum that are 5-10 on their own, staples, as well as the structure deck.
I disagree with Electrumite. Graceful charity and pot of greed have a bigger chance of coming back to 3 then Electrumite to 1. That is how much Konami tcg hates electrumite or pend in general.
Konami please give me back Verte Anaconda 😂😂. I need this card to be international champion with my Dark Magician deck and the Best Card ever "Dragoon" 😁💪🏆. All Yugioh players desire that Verte Anaconda returns 😂😂😂
@@N3shTCG Hi man, was a sarcastic comment, it's a good point, but i'm still thinking that ban Albion just benefit fire decks, even if snake-eye ash gonna be limited, fire decks still too strong with your list, an example, summon limit limited.
@@N3shTCG About Branded Fusion, i mean, Branded is a really good deck, but cannot won a YCS in TCG in the last 2 years, the deck is easily to beat and all players know that the deck does, even Branded having all his cards to play, it can't win a big tournament. Probably Albion get hit 💔, but i still seeing that Gimmick Puppet it's a better option to be banned, the Gimmick Puppet deck with the new support don't need Gimmick Puppet Nightmare so...

Stop asking for Santifire to be banned. Yugitubers are honestly so delusional. So many archetypes get insane support and yall are crying about one negative experience you had against branded. Let branded have a crazy good quirk like all other decks instead of kicking it in the gut
That card can only be used for evil, it definitely deserves to be banned.
Branded doesn't really need puppet to win, i'm saying it as a Branded player myself
@@Ragnarok540666 card😱
Kitkallos cannot come back, there's a card called fusion armament in town as well
instead bring all names to 2
Damn he got me I skipped, time to go back to the beginning of the video
Skipped and laughed. Earned a like.
Unpopular opinion: Konami non bandirà Albion.
Perché? Tra tutte le carte che potrebbero finire nelle proibite è quella meno problematica, design breaker (🤦🏼♂️) o meno. Comunque sono curioso di vedere quanto pomperanno puppet dopo infinite forbidden😂 Temo ci sarà da piangere (aka FTK come se piovesse)
concordo!
Nice ending😂❤
Watched it whole!
Thanks!
Tbh they could actually Semi - Limit Branded Fusion to stop it being splashed in Voiceless and also ban Sanctifier
good prediction i like it but for you not Wanted limited or wich ?
there might be a semi-limit but doesnt honeatly seem realistica considering the rarities
i watched the whole video twice love you nesh
Thanks brother ❤
@@N3shTCG got that youtube red you getting extra money i got a question i stopped playing a bit before the adamancipator format do you have any suggestions for decks that aren’t flood gate based and is beginner friendly
Very Reasonable.
The whole puppet or sanctifire argument is so silly.
Why are yugioh players always like ‘ban the floodgate’ but when it comes to branded their logic goes out the window and they want to hit **checks notes** a card that is meant to summon albaz and a material for an albaz fusion….
Hit the floodgates. Ban puppet, ban Jowgen, ban the stuff that locks.
Maybe your bias over Branded is the silly one?
Puppet IS NOT a floodgate like Jowgen or Artifact Scythe. Sanctifire breaks card design to turn poppet into a floodgate. You can literally not have any punishing mandatory/continuous restriction because instead of the owner suffering it you drop it to your opponent.
Sanctifire's design to loop Albaz is really cool, all it needed was to prevent the activation and negate the effect of the monster summoned to the opponent's field, immediately disabling most FTK/toxic loops involving it.
@@babrad played branded for all of two weeks before I got Swordsoul…
The deck is fine and is the only budget tier 1.5 ish deck. If we want to retain budget and young players we need to protect cheap meta decks.
Cards in future will place monsters on the opponents field.
It seems insanely dumb to not hit puppet and crappy stun cards and instead hit an in archetype semi-boss monster.
@@EdisonLocalsMK with the exception of Ido all the rest are NOT STUN CARDS that's the issue. And there are 10+ target I can immediately think right now, there will be way more if I do a search.
Also Branded is NOT budget, the deck is easily at 300$ then even more to play properly with Thrust. Unchained is a much more budget and fair deck in comparison. With Maze reprints even snake-less rescue is more budget than Branded and also a fair deck.
About future cards, if you saw the Summon Sorc errata, even there it was recognized that summoning to the opponent's field with full effects was a mistake and now it negates the effect. So I guess my point is proven.
@@babrad branded is literally 3 structure decks, a couple of fusions and a thrust package if you want. Even the nadir is cheap now. The only card above $10 is Quem… a one of.
Jowgen is played in Runick stun and the only worthwhile target is puppet as it’s over level 6 dark so can be sent with Granguignol.
Yeah and errata to Albion is fine, Konami knew they made the mistake with Expulsion but banning Albion seems insanely dumb when you could hit the useless gimmick puppet card (the card that actually causes the lock) and remove the lock from the game while not crippling the only budget near-meta deck.
@@EdisonLocalsMK ok so 30€ then let's check other prices:
- 2 Guignol 30
- 2 Quem 70
- 1 Chimera 20
- 3 Thrust 105
- 1 Lubellion 10
- 1 Sanctifire 15
- 1 Garura 12
- 3 Branded Opening 15
This ignores one offs etc like Rindbrum that are 5-10 on their own, staples, as well as the structure deck.
Finally, someone who understands misc can come back to 2!
No Drident on your list?
i think the priority is limiting floodgates, next banlist they might bring back some decks, Seems to early to me, personally
Harp to 3 thunder dragon colossus to 1
consider that harp is also a brick tho.
Thanks for the feedback
Is not Misc just a huge Crossout?
but only for dinos
I hope you're right…
Collosus should be back at 1.
I disagree with Electrumite. Graceful charity and pot of greed have a bigger chance of coming back to 3 then Electrumite to 1. That is how much Konami tcg hates electrumite or pend in general.
i can see that
"Fluuuuuuuuuuud-gate"
Unban thunder dragon colossus . He’s mid this format
Like this if you're here just to say stupid stuff to get yelled at by this sexy Italian super player 💞
why is no one unlimiting the purrely cards 😔
deck seems still good enough
Konami please give me back Verte Anaconda 😂😂. I need this card to be international champion with my Dark Magician deck and the Best Card ever "Dragoon" 😁💪🏆. All Yugioh players desire that Verte Anaconda returns 😂😂😂
Trade deal : Dragoon || Verte 👁️ 👁️
@@captaincool6268 Both cards must be together in this Game to I can get to be international champion 😁💪🏆
@@edgarcedeno9291 No because everyone will run intro dragoonbat the end 💀
18:48 😭
great vid!
I think WANTED will be hit
I watched everything Sir
thanks!
why not unban masterplan ?
i think there are other priorities and they are trying to make the game more playable instead of reviving old archetypes
Agree on Shifter being a balancer for our format
PEND BEST DECK
"Stupid stuff" 0:31
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
c'è un canale migliore?
mi sa di no
Free Misc ❤
idk man monster gate too stronnng
cane rosso a 3
I say just ban all of modern yugioh :)
yes he did 😂
Ban ash man
Ti si vuole bene! 😂
You just want to Albion banned cause you now play Snake eye 🤣
So why do i want Snake-Eye Ash limited?
You are insane my brother
Why did i want Braded Fusion limited during my previous prediction when i was playing Branded Despia? Uhhh
@@N3shTCG Hi man, was a sarcastic comment, it's a good point, but i'm still thinking that ban Albion just benefit fire decks, even if snake-eye ash gonna be limited, fire decks still too strong with your list, an example, summon limit limited.
@@N3shTCG About Branded Fusion, i mean, Branded is a really good deck, but cannot won a YCS in TCG in the last 2 years, the deck is easily to beat and all players know that the deck does, even Branded having all his cards to play, it can't win a big tournament. Probably Albion get hit 💔, but i still seeing that Gimmick Puppet it's a better option to be banned, the Gimmick Puppet deck with the new support don't need Gimmick Puppet Nightmare so...
@@DarkSystem999 i can see that
Was watching all the way through. You lost me at not banning shifter. Bad opinion. Disliked video.
happens 😢
