    Those had traps that are lingering floodgates should just not exist. Droll, shifter and lancea are the most toxic hand traps in the game after maxx c obviously. Hand traps should trade one for one not lock you out of a whole game mechanic. I don't care if they are format dependent, such cards should be banned.

    • @LS-qs9ju
      @LS-qs9ju 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      The problem with one for one trade is that some deck can plus non stop, for example Mannadium. You simply lose if you can't draw blowout handtrap like Droll, Shifter, Lancea, or Nibiru. Even Nibiru isn't always a guarantee because they can set up Baronne before 5th summons. If you draw no handtrap and they have an average hand, Calamity will says hi in the next turn.
      I think the solution is to create more deck like Tearlament/Labrynth who can play on turn zero. Instead of hoping on blowout handtrap, let's just trade blows with main engine. Those deck are awful when they're the only deck who can do that, but if many deck can do the same, the game will be more interesting.

Sometimes, I look at the first decks I really took time, sat down, built and learned like Altergeist and Salad and think of how nice it would be to build with the new support and play again. Like for old times sake and catch up with old friends.
    But then I remember how die roll dependent the game can be. Then I ask "Do I need this in my life right now?". Do I really want to deal with a Nibiru mid turn or a 3 activation Zeus or something like Farfa described in his video? Like I want to go to locals for a good time; Can I really have this on top of everything else in my life right now? And sadly, I answer no.

If not, then Edison is a pretty good choice since there's pretty much always gonna be at least one person with an Edison deck at your locals and some locals even have Edison tournaments if there's enough interest. With the way standard is going I can definitely see a ton more people switching over to retro formats for fun.

    I really don't get why Shifter is still around, it's a instawin card for every deck that likes their own stuff banished and has only been used very few times in decks that while getting hurt by it still can play under it. Card isn't healthy, like at all, it's counters are very few and far between and getting rarer still with Gamma limited and being activatable on your own turn to fuck your opponent regardless of any HTs they could have possible drawn to stop your plays isn't fun to play against.
    Is it just to push Kash? Did they keep it around because they knew they were releasing this banished focused Drident + Macro turbo deck that's super unfun to play against? It wouldn't surprise me is the sad thing....

      I'm not totally against shifter.
      Not a fun card to face, nonetheless it's a kind of evil which serves to gatekeep out so many extravaganzas you might find in a high competitive environment.
      You really need this kind of crap, at least during testing you can say "ok, this bunch of decks are boned so hard by Arise and Shifter that every player knowing what he's doing won't bother consider them".
      I know it kinda sucks, but what else do you want to do in a non-rotational format?
      Also, consider how when a banish focused deck achieves a tier 0ish status good players immediately move their shifters to the side rather than not playing them at all.
      Cause in mirrors it is so ass.
      On a local scale banning shifter doesn't save you from from dudes enjoying playing whatever other random floodgate they like and which coincidentally hoes your deck no matter if Shifter is legal or not.

      @florinalinmarginean1135 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think Shifter is fine as a concept because too many decks use their graveyards to generate advantage, ignoring most other hand traps. Similarly to Droll, it's a "fuck that mechanic" card that helps keep in check degenerate strategies.
      Unfortunately, some decks cannot play at all if one of these mechanics is turned off. But that's yugioh for you: you either shut down your opponent's entire first turn through hand traps or you won't play the game at all.
      I think Konami should just ban all the generic extra deck omni negates so we wouldn't have to run these shitty cards just to get a chance at playing the game

    • @mistriousfrog
      @mistriousfrog 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@florinalinmarginean1135 I mostly agree. Handtraps are at their most interesting when they trade one for one in order to block a combo line from going off. But Shifter turns off an entire zone of the game which most decks use because archetypes in this game are designed with the assumption you have access to the graveyard. Its way too high impact for a handtrap. Droll is similar in that respect, but preventing draw is less egregious compared to locking off a zone.

    • @ivanmaterazzo2631
      @ivanmaterazzo2631 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@florinalinmarginean1135 agreed. I believe omni negates are not that big of a deal rn. Mass tribute removal became a keystone of this game both as a side option and as featured in main deck slots.
      Also most of the oppressive decks we have seen recently do not feature omni negates (yeah maybe Cryme, but that card is played more for its extension capability).
      Lingering effects are no fun, but as long as Konami releases archetypes in which almost every card serves at the same time the roles of:
      -A starter;
      -An extender;
      -An advantage generator for follow up/floodgate...
      those cards are so necessary.
      And even with them around, so many Kash's hands shit on Droll, Ishizu Tear played around Shifter quite well and so on.

    • @ydontubegray
      @ydontubegray 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1.Shifter was made before kash was created.
      2. You cant search it and your grave needs to be empty to even use it.
      3. You can play crossout designator to kill it. If you are running called by thats an additional protection for you.
      In event they shifter you during their turn and you have zero counter, your best option is to save as much res as possible. They cant open shifter every game, and even if they did, its just how rng works.

    In the next banlist shifter needs to get banned along with arise heart or something that makes the deck harder to make it. Shifter was fine when it was a part of a few rogue decks, especially when we had gamma as an out but now it can be in so many decks (kash, spright, swordsoul, floo, madolche, vanquish soul, etc) that it is just as toxic as mystic mine was a while ago and it makes you either play those decks or lose to it and that is super toxic to have hts that make you not play decks that would otherwise be meta viable. Droll and nib you can make different boards when they happen but shifter a lot of decks auto lose and that is dumb

    My first game was against Kashtira.
    And I'm wondering if paper play is even really for me when I can't feel good about spending top dollar just for one deck that might be fun to play but I'll still lose every match, as I have done for the past 3 weeks with a slightly upgraded Traptrix deck. At least in MD, I can lose for free!

Waited 30 more minutes. Drove home. Went another day got blown out by psy frame, left again. Now toons is not the best deck but I'm hoping to get one monster or spell out. Master duel is at least nice because you don't have to look them in the eyes as they synchro combo you long after you've been cooked.

    I've been busy moving to a different city, so no locals for the past 2 months. I visit my parents for a week, and I told myself "why not? Locals could e fun". All my cards are in my new apartment, so I borrow my brother's HERO deck, which isn't entirely optimized, but is still quite strong.
    First match : I go second, my opponent sets up his Kashtira field, I have outs in hand so I'm thinking I'm fine right ? Wrong. I out Ariseheart, start my combo, "Activate Nibiru, response?" Ok so second game I go first, start building my field, stop with DPE, Cross Crusader, and Vyon on field with Dark Angel in hand. I could stay at that, but I got greedy, what are the odds he has Nibiru in starting hand twice in a row? So 0-1 start.
    Next 3 matches I face Purrely, which I wasn't too familiar with yet, lose 1, win 2.
    Fifth match I go up against Noble Knights. I'm thinking this is at least a third win if I play it right. I go second as I lost the dice roll, he sets up his field. I start my turn, normal summon Stratos, activate effect, he chains Contact C.... Game 2 I start, Activate A HERO Lives, summon Shadow Mist, activate effect, he chains Contact C...
    On the bright side, I pulled a Crimson Dragon from the one and only pack I won from the tourney, so there's that.
