Konami is afraid of floodgates. Can't blame them, but I'd rather they let us have more toys to play with and hit us with an emergency ban list if we need it.
I'm also surprised they didn't touch type change beam with how problematic it's been. That aside, seeing the unlimits got me wondering why Gekka the shadow flower beauty didn't get unlimited as well. Are they planning to add some plant support next box or did they just forget? Speaking of forgotten, rip Gavin Warriors.
Plants are still waiting for their fusions and their trap cards. Konami hates trap cards, but the fusions mention their traps so they'll probably put off releasing them as long as they can.
Imo, its an ok list, its main problem is that konami failed to understand that before the goha cup, metarion was a fucking pain in the ass deck to face, and that they should have hit type changing beam, reactor and reincarnation to 2 or 3 of.
As I mentioned in the previous video, they were going to hit those Decks that had a presence in GRF (which interestingly are also Decks that are relevant in Rush Duel-focused Tournaments) - IT'S PSYCHICOVER! Well, not really. Those hits hurt because they're hitting their consistency pieces: especially the best Backrow remover from Rush's Duel Links. The Deck is still strong with its Fusion Summon thing, but I think it's the overall loser of the Meta Decks (although, CAN - Melo:D will have to disappear at some point or we'll have the same story with those ThunderMelo Decks) - Honestly? I'm glad DARK Galaxy didn't take a big hit since a Deck that has proven to be easy to beat doesn't seem unfair for the most part. Its most problematic card is now Limited to 3 and I think that's enough. Same for LIGHT Galaxy: that Deck doesn't deserve to be hit since it's taken a massive powercreep with the new Decks. - The hit to Star Restart was somewhat expected due to Fusion Summon being more successful compared to the actual Rush Duels format, where Fusion Summon was dead. Oddly enough, this affects Psychic and Metarion the most since, ironically, they are the only good Fusion Decks. It doesn't affect Dragon Fusion at all since that Deck didn't use Star Restart itself. - What Dragon got is weird since I think it hurts the Deck more generally. If they wanted Dragon to be Meta, Phoenix Dragon should have been released from Rush's Banlist. However, Phoenix Dragon is still a pretty good card that will only be a powercreep when modern Dragon support comes along. If that modern Dragon support doesn't come along, Dragon Decks will continue to be bad or mediocre at best. - Of the cards that were released from the banlist, I'm surprised that Shock Dragon didn't leave the banlist, especially if they wanted to promote Dragon. Shock Dragon's time has passed and I feel like it can be released (same goes for Shining City Nights, which I don't think will be a problem if it is released) Overall, I think Rush's Banlist is pretty cool, as some of the hits were expected. The surprise is that Konami has touched expensive Decks and that none of the Skills used by Meta Decks have been touched (although, looking generally, I don't see people complaining about the Skills of DARK Galaxy, LIGHT Galaxy or Wyrm: it's the cards that are powerful this time). I think the only way for Metarion to disappear is through Powercreep: which is easy to do since it is very vulnerable to Decks focused on high ATK Monsters (plus its only strategy is OTK, which won't age well)
Really happy with this banlist! Psychics was so oppressive, and having to make a choice between really good cards is gonna slow down the strategy. (The skill gave a little bit too much with how the cardpool is right now, with our 30 card decks). Konami doesn't want me to play the famous 6 free backrow removal in galaxy, but it's a nice trade. Phoenix dragon will finally be played, as limiting every dragon boss at 3 made him unplayable. My only fear is from machines, where you can be on a mill turbo strategy and summon Ancient Gear Golem every turn if you see him with leo and other shenanigans.
Pretty bittersweet banlist i wanted them to hit key cards like you mentioned in your previous video and maybe rework some skills but that's too much of a hassle for Komoney
The only limit 3 cards that hero would consider playing are ghost cyclone and maybe necroman so I don't think the star restart limit effects it all that much.
Hitting “Star Restart” is a bit weird to me. I would rather hitting different card if it come to psychic. Also “TCB” should get some sort of limitation in my opinion but yeah other than that it's fine list. Hope you get well soon Tomato.
They should have handled Phoenix Dragon they did with Romanpick. Just give us one so it can be "limited" without actually being part of the limited pool. The way things are now, Dragias decks won't play it unless it's off the list entirely.
I've tried building insects but as a stand alone deck it basically does nothing. You can play a metarion or aggro engine with it to let it actually do something, but then it feels like you're not really playing insects.
Good list and I like the idea of buffing decks and releasing new cards to help weaker decks catch up to the meta than slowing the meta down because the game feels at a good pace, I do want more good trap emergency return being released as a limit 2 would be a great inclusion and if call of the earthbound isn't going to be released then at least put it to limit 2 as well
Cyber Dragons thus far has been a strong option without needing too much investment, 3x structure and 1 or 2 runs through the cyber end box. This deck is the most popular on ladder because of how free to play friendly it is. The Elemental Hero deck is another good choice, since 3x structure again gets you everything you need. Dark Galaxy is decent since it's basically all self-contained in one box and the majority of other cards you'd want are bundles. Of the 3 I'd say Dgalaxy is a strongest and has the most longevity, but you should pick whichever sounds fun.
All of the Dragon boosting here screams "The next set will feature dragons and we want them to be meta" lol but overall good list, i was stoked to see Reverie and Wilhel freed, but no TCB is insane, id figured they were sick of Metarion dominance.
Yeah, which is disappointing seeing how with Psychic hit with 4 cards to limit 3 when Metarion got nothing hit (I don't count Star Restart.) I get that Rush Duel is a more sacky format than TCG/OCG/Master Duel but no one likes these cheesy OTK decks in Rush. No one liked Overlord OTK and no one likes Metarion. Metarion itself is fine; just remove the Type Change Beam.
youve said theres no way were getting go rush fusions anytime soon... yea ehm... i think your wrong thanks to this list... have a look it would be od to just put star there (void) and not have fusions coming cause what else would they limit to 3 that would be coming that we would play? heac... whatever maybe but its way to much rng to be any good. maybe transi which is basicly just blue tooth ut with 100 less atk and destroys normal monsters but i really dont see this beeing a hit unless it was for fusions coming
I'll be honest, as a Rush player, this banlist is just not disappointing but will end up making the next format worse. Yes, the Psychic hits had to happen, as the deck was really good with the top 24 players of the GR Top 100 playing the deck. But this feels like overkill with having the Psychic player having to choose between CAN - Melo:D, Ice Pop Bear, Star Restart, and JAM:P Check. This doesn't kill the deck, as one can go 2 Star Restart and 1 Ice Pop Bear without having the JAM:P Check hurts. But where are the other deck hits? Dark Galaxy got nothing with Star Trancer to 3 meaning nothing. They don't have any other limit 3s and the skill is unchanged. Metarion leaves scotfree which I think is a massive mistake. They still keep their draw 2 with Reactor, their out of nowhere OTK with Type Change Beam and Ashurastar, and they don't care with Star Restart to 3. We didn't even see light taps to Light Galaxy with how they punish players for playing low DEF stat'd monsters. All the unlimits are cool I suppose but I am really not looking forward to Metarion being best deck again. -_-
No skill change to light only for Cydra or limit 3 to AGG? Konami also effectively killed Gakuto's deck with this list too. No hit to TCB either. The Psychic hits were okay. Overall disappointing list though.

I'm surprised Konami didn't hit Type Change Beam and Metarion 😮
They really just said Gavin Fusion is just going back in the trash. They really don't want him to have a nice time do they?

@@Tomatosaurs At this rate I just wanted them to hit Cydra, but instead Cydra got more tools with Leo to pull back AGG.

We did just see Metarion win another event, with 3 Metarion taking top 4.

I just wanna live in the world where Dragius is free for a month
With how skills give stat boosts and consistency boosts, Dragais can most certainly come off the list at this point.
I for one welcome how Reactor wasn't hit, and now Leo is unlimited so the machine pile grows stronger.
Haha Star Restart finally

How did reactor not get it?!
I like this W list, good video. Keep up the rush content.
They should have handled Phoenix Dragon they did with Romanpick. Just give us one so it can be "limited" without actually being part of the limited pool. The way things are now, Dragias decks won't play it unless it's off the list entirely.
No reactor hit AND ace breaker unlimited ? ULTIMATE BOND SWEEP BABY!!!!
I dont think i will be removing Terrace for Phoenix dragon
Cyber Dragon has become more annoying I'm sure Leo is going in there to recover AGG😅
I hate playing against AGG, but I am happy to see leo unhit tbh.
Lots of cards aren't there yet in the game 😅
aim eagle is only still on the list cause of cydra
I hope you get better.
Thanks buddy!
Will you try an insect deck with the new cards?

Still waiting for other decks like Tempest Drive, Raidacross, etc. tho
i Was wondering what would be good deck and doesnt cost so much bc i will keep speed as my main priority but wanna enjoy rush for fun of it

I used my gems to psychic new card's just for komoney to nerf it right after they did the same when I used all my gems for agents komoney is so trash
Tbh, if you buy the best deck of a format you should totally expect a hit.

@@ToonKing69 Good. It needs to be repeated as often as possible as it's the only correct opinion I've seen thus far.
phoenix is fine cause were getting red rebolt and its doing a lot more.
