If this is done again in the future, they need to do something to destroy (copies of) forbidden cards. Toss them in a paper shredder or set them on fire, something to put a big finish on the performance
@@williamfalls It's not about the hits, it's about the reveal. Doing nothing but banning Kuriboh could make for the greatest banlist reveal ever if they threw an entire festival just for the sake of the reveal.

@@Kylora2112I mean 2 searchs off of 2 level 4s when Raz exists seems like a questionable idea. Edit: Nvm it wouldn't work at limited. Limited is maybe an okay place for the card now that I think about it.
As much as I hate Shifter, I actually don’t think it’s worth main decking this format. Even the best Shifter decks don’t love him. Maliss doesn’t want to be under Shifter going 1st because it hurts their endboard, Ryzeal can’t rebuild as well during the opponent’s turn if Detonater goes down, and the decks play fine enough going 2nd that it’s not as impactful as some other handtraps you could be playing anyways.
@@Endershock1678 this is true but people are still playing it in the side. While it will happen in game 1 less because ryzeal and malliss post list are the uncontested best decks, if your opponents have high enough salaries you're going to be running into shifter every other game unless you too are also on a shifter deck
Conceptually this was really cool, but the biggest thing I love about this was the crowd reactions - they gotta keep doing these immediately after events!
@@RaceBandit If they did they would sing it if they want Snake Eyes kids/Basement dwellers to go outside like how they want Mathmech fans to go outside
This was honestly the best way they have ever revealed a ban list since back in the day when we knew when we were getting a list . But honestly thought there would have been more on the limits and bans and why not bring back heavy storm when OCG and master duel has it ?
“I’m surprised they didn’t go after Summoning” That’s because Summoning is already limited Alex. They literally just killed the budget deck to force you to play the new expensive cards.
The deck was awful to play against and not fun for anyone (if you were having fun litterally ignoring your opponents board and otking them for free, go play digimon TCG, its litterally just Tenpai mirrors with diverse art.)
@@zarock61 does it actually do anything pure and not just as engines in the respective type decks? I have the core otw so maybe I’ll add it to my arsenal.
Honestly, as long as they do this AFTER a YCS (and preferably at least two weeks out from the next one) to avoid blindsiding people or having people skip prepping for a particular YCS because the banlist is already known and they are testing for the next format, this is a good way to schedule banlist changes.
its crazy how much the original ban kills snake eye even though it was a 1 off. you lose 8 starters and the engine is basically now just 5 starters and like 6 bricks that you dont want to draw
6:00 change it up a lil each time, like at one point frame it like it's a Shark Tank pitch, the next one is an E3 showcase, then WWE, keep cycling for as long as you can keep it interesting
@@RaceBandit Just noticed? No, just decided to comment on it given how egregious this one was. The BS titling is one of the reasons I am not subscribed
This does change everything. Diabellstar can’t search any level 1 a**hole you want, Yubel has only one Phantom, Tenpai is effectively dead and Ryzeal is probably the best deck in the upcoming format. The problem is that there’s a lot more work to do. Shifter should ideally be banned, there’s still a lot of generic Extra Deck stuff like Masq and Little Knight that will impact meta every time you’ll have two loose monsters on board and Albion is still around, so banning Jowgen and Nightmare doesn’t solve the problem. Also Protos was unbanned to sell new Ritual Beasts support.
Original Sin is such a rough hit to not only Snake-eyes, but any deck that runs a level 1 Fire Monster. As an Infernoid and Rescue-Ace lover this was the Snake-eye card that I was hoping would live the longest because it has the highest level of versatility.
What I hate the most is how Konami will now reprint cards just to completely make the cards unplayable not long after. It's such a disgusting practice for the sake of budget players that are trying to play competitive decks and all Konami keeps doing is hitting the refresh button on going from budget to overpriced
Man you dont get it. Snake eyes was long over due. OSS or flamberge ban was on the horizon last banlist and people wanted the deck finally dead. Now its finally meaningfully hit and you literally cry about it because you can finally play this cancer deck yourself. The hypocrisy is real dude.
@@Corey91666 I'm not saying the deck shouldn't have gotten hit, but Original Sin is such an integral consistency booster for so many decks. From Rescue-Ace, Infernoid and even T.G. I'm all for hitting the meta decks into line, but this much collateral damage is incredibly frustrating. I would've been much more ok with a Flamberge hit
@ I’m just glad I can still run pure Snake eyes especially when Flametongue probably gets imported in Supreme Darkness since I haven’t been able go to a local tournament since late March due the locals closest from where I live getting shut down cause of the owner making a rather dumb personal decision.
@@strangevol5264 I plan to and nice to know you are wishing me good luck. Plus should say Lavals get more support one of which searches say rekindling in say Terminal world 3 I will have a fifth starter.
The ban on Origin is interesting because it pretty much kills Snake Eye but also it keeps Diabellstar at 3 for whatever they got planned with her whole story line, i'm sure more new decks tha need Diabellestar and Wanted becasue of teh whole storyline so this will not hinder those startegies once they release.
This actually unironically is gonna make White Woods a bit of a problem when they get their new support in the coming months (Loves White Woods and is totally ready for sheer dominance >:3)
idek anything about the meta, haven't kept up but omg I hope they keep up these theatrics. It's so cool seeing a guy in shades and a suit pulling out this expensive steel briefcase. It feels like a KC rep is personally announcing the next stage of the game
Jowgen makes branded fusion a 1 card special summon lock into sanctifire because its a light spellcaster, puppet made nadir servant and branded combos too easy to pull off the lock
I love how excited we as a community get to cards we aren't allowed to play anymore! Next banlist, they should have the Pegasus VA, Darren Dunstin, in full cosplay announcing it.
Literally no Draco Master peace unban, no linkuriboh and Superheavy samurai scarecrow un ban, no semi limit for Called by, Misc or Branded fusion following with the lock cards, and no Fiendsmith ban when it was the obvious winner of the YCS. And dragon rulers was an obvious unlimit. Sure Tenpai hit but thats because they are cheap and snake-eyes late hit. Phantom of Yubel was the only good hit following the unlimited of Op spirit gates. Pretty much a ZZZZZZZ list
Phantom of Yubel is the only thing in Yubel that really pushes it over the top, rather than just being Dark Fiend Mikanko cheese. Colossus is fine since you need a LOT to get it on the field. Jowgen 100% limits card design, though I'm surprised they didn't ban Ra's Disciple if they hitting the symptom (Gimmick Puppet Nightmare) instead of the disease (Sanctifier)...or they could just change the rule that if a monster with a lingering *condition* gets summoned, the summoning player is affected and not the controller.
If by "a lot" you mean 1 flipping card minimum because all it requires is a thunder monster to tribute in the same turn you activated the effect of a thunder monster in your hand. It's a freaking cheat card and should have stayed banned.
I don't even play yugioh but it was still funny to see a crowd of card gamers cheering for bans. Shout out to the one guy crying in the second row at 5:05 while everyone else is happy.
Now that the hype has died down, this was REALLY fun. I hope Konami does more banlist reveals like this, this was INSANELY fun. The crowd's reactions, the commentators hyping everything up, that was seriously so much fun. Konami might be a terrible company, but you gotta love the energy and silliness the commentators bring, as well as the excitement and fun the community has. Konami definitely needs to do more banlists like this, this was very enjoyable to watch
It’s more because that Jowgen does a lot More as a floodgate. Colossus only stops searching. Jowgen turns on Secret Village and is Raigeki, and of course prevents summons. He’s just More Potent
@@strangevol5264jowgen is unviable tho. Ritual Beast as a rogue deck is playing Colossus in tourneys & anyone can use it with nemessis engine while Jowgen has never seen success in the meta in recent years, especially not with Secret village as far as I know.
I think Colossus being at 3 won't make a difference, I don't think people will be summoning multiples of those. In general, I think this was a pretty good update.
im (attempting) to learn Ritual Beasts and idk how this affects me. I think its good because i didnt see anything on here that is in my deck, but I also have zero idea as to what im doing so far so who knows!
This is hilarious, especially funnier cause some people find it cringy Edit: man I'm old, Dragon Rulers are unlimited again. I'm still traumatized by DR/Spellbook tier 0 format
i don't understand why Konami banned Gimmick Puppet Nightmare i mean, sure, puppet lock is not fun at all, and its a lingereing effect blah blah but isn't Sanctifire the main issue there? so, yeah, ban puppet, next step is going into Ido the Magical Force, maybe not as egregious, but still unfun
Shifter should’ve gone to 2 and True Draco could’ve gotten SOMETHING back honestly. Ryzeal and Malice will def takeover now…they were best decks even before the list
Have to say that was a Great Ban -Movie- I mean, list! I certainly appreciate Cyber Jar being at 2 if all the cheap & broken Monster-removal are all unlimited. This is how it should always be done really! (And thank Goodness as I never played Jowgen since before 2010 anyways but I'm sort of happy the little guy got to become so notorious. It does bring me back to the days of PTDN when I was so damn scared of the Dark Creator dropping, I instinctively ran one in my deck to stop it, lol!)
I am missing something with Jowgen ? Because are we hitting Prophecy here, a deck that is not relevant since a very long time ? Or is there another deck that plays him ?
I think it would be really funny if they managed to get Kaiba or Pegasus' voice actors to do thr ban list annoucement like this. That would be so great I think
I find it funny that now Cyberjar is at 2. Largely because having two in a deck can screw the user over. As for the Snake Eyes ban, I'm not happy. Largely because Snake Eyes is slowly becoming a useless archetype. Sure, people have trouble against the archetype, but that's because most don't know how to exploit the weaknesses of Snake Eyes. And now, there's a lot more that can be done against it.
So shameless. In Magic they apologize for each card banned. YGO people celebrate with the company who 1.know this card is broken. 2. decide to sell you for high price nonetheless 3. ruin your meta and gameplay. 4. banned it so you can't play what you paid for. I played 10 years YGO and think this community is braindead.
they only unban because of power creep or stronger metas being in place. they really just say fuck the casual player. I'm already sick of masterduel playing against dragoon every other duel. I am in Bronze rank or the casual duel to play older decks that I like staying strict to the archetype then still get matched up against Kashtira, tear, or decks like branded where it takes no skill other than playing a thousand ways to play branded fusion. People hate floodgates but its the only way to take down these strong decks without playing said strong deck but at the same time lets these strong decks also use the floodgates. I really am starting to lose hope as a casual player. I dont mind playing some of these strong decks but its just not as fun to have such a one sided game all the time. To have a card banned that helps the lower end decks become consistent is also very mind boggling to me. Like instead of taking away terraforming from every deck just take care of the real problem and banning/limiting certain field spells. Its kinda like how Crystron Halq was the problem but they banned so many tuners and other cards that were not as much the problem. sorry for the rant this game sucks a lot of the time but i guess ill be back tommorow anyways
It’s literally the budget deck of the format and they just murdered it without even giving us back copies of Summoning. All of these being limited is just nuts and they clearly need you to buy the new expensive deck.
@@rubankervens4918 The problem with Tenpai is you just can't do anything if Sangen Summoning sticks. You get D-Barrier and like maybe one swing in the battle phase to actually do anything.
Jowgen seems like a design space hit, not an unfun it. It’s an old effect that could be split into 20 different cards with some restrictions, but you don’t want a deck with those and Jowgen because it’s too generic.
They definitely should do the banlists like this going forward. Live crowd reactions are great. Also I don't think Colossus to 3 is going to matter in the slightest in anything other than pure TD, and they need all the help they can get lmao
I like the presentation, the List itself is mid imo. Feels less like adressing problem cards and more like "We printed two new decks, play those." Where are hits to Bonfire, where hits to fiendsmith, where niche hits to Malis, where hits to shifter? It feels like they went "Alright, the new decks are not tier 0 yet, lets hit the rest of the meta"
Also, my reaction to this banlist is simply slap me twice and call me Shirley!! They actually banned OSS?? Hot damn! That's a huge hit! Phantom of Yubel at 1 is quite pleasant to see, but annoyingly enough is Spirit Gates being back at 3.... gross... Would anyone care to take That Grass Dragon Rulers for a spin? I'm sure all sorts of nasty shenanigans could be experimented with haha @Cimoooooooo You make a highly valid point with Colossus going to 3, yet Jowgen gets banned...? Yeah, exactly, let's ban one floodgate and unlimit another (smh). I think it is safe to say that none of us are entirely surprised about Colossus coming off the list. Still, though, we can have not one, not two, but THREE Thunder Dragon Collosus??? Good lord, Konami! 😂 Tenpai getting two hits is really nice to see. You know, now I'm really glad I picked Six Samurai as my main deck because now they have a better shot at going much farther in tournaments. Jackelope and Tsuchinoko should both be off the list entirely, Eva is fine at 2, Monkeyboard.....hmmmm, yeah, let it stay at 2. Everything else looks okay to me
Cimo you got to remember on MD they have an amount of ban "slots". So things have to come off to go on the list. Its a weird system. If they banned more they would have a bigger list but they basically make it seem like they can only have so many cards on the banlist. They have no clue how to balance the game out. So why keep trying. Something new will always show up.
Konami saw all the ban list reactions and finally decided to make their own
About over two decades late. Must be cause their game was going in the tank they thought for once to upgrade their image.

I don't think unlimiting Pankratops will genuinely be an issue. It's an amazing card, but who are you gonna see running three Panks in one deck?
So let me get this straight. Konami hates engines. Bans Original which is an Engine card. But doesn't touch Fiendsmith or Flamberg
They too new
Hasnt gotten its cheap reprint
I guess Fiendsmith is too recent to ban right now. But I've never seen any engine more deserving of a ban in the history of this game to be honest
Hmmm FS too strong
Somewhat off-topic, but I really like Cyber Jar's design and Type/Attribute combination. You don't really see a lot of DARK Rock monsters.

What gets me about this banlist is that there was only one Snake-Eyes player in the Top 32, and they just straight-up banned OSS.
This should be how new F&L lists get revealed for the foreseeable future.

@@TenebraeXVII do you think it would still be decent? I dont see why it wouldnt personally.
This is hilarious, especially funnier cause some people find it cringy
Edit: man I'm old, Dragon Rulers are unlimited again. I'm still traumatized by DR/Spellbook tier 0 format
As someone who remembers the 2013 massacre list I know exactly how you feel man.
Shoulda banned shifter and flamberge and for the lols, shoulda limited one of the ryzeal starters
And not gain free money from pros
Thank you so much for the Christmas introduction. That was great.
i don't understand why Konami banned Gimmick Puppet Nightmare
i mean, sure, puppet lock is not fun at all, and its a lingereing effect blah blah
but isn't Sanctifire the main issue there? so, yeah, ban puppet, next step is going into Ido the Magical Force, maybe not as egregious, but still unfun
Remember needlefiber.. we lost so many tuners for it to run free.
"It's okay Master Peace, you come back when you want to"...
The fact it came back in every format except tcg is a travesty. Even master duel added it.
cyber jar can be manipulated by mimghouls. They can activate flip cards when they so choose which then can turn cyber jar into an interruption
Presentation was on point
Shifter should’ve gone to 2 and True Draco could’ve gotten SOMETHING back honestly. Ryzeal and Malice will def takeover now…they were best decks even before the list
Three shifter, one grass is the ideal ratio though. And they weren't going to reban grass yet.
4:39 yo its the guys from those skits!
Have to say that was a Great Ban -Movie- I mean, list! I certainly appreciate Cyber Jar being at 2 if all the cheap & broken Monster-removal are all unlimited. This is how it should always be done really! (And thank Goodness as I never played Jowgen since before 2010 anyways but I'm sort of happy the little guy got to become so notorious. It does bring me back to the days of PTDN when I was so damn scared of the Dark Creator dropping, I instinctively ran one in my deck to stop it, lol!)
I am missing something with Jowgen ? Because are we hitting Prophecy here, a deck that is not relevant since a very long time ? Or is there another deck that plays him ?
Albion locks
Sinful basically nueters snake eyes fire king and any snake eyes package right as an engine? And makes diabellestar useless as a starter right?
The crowd reaction to the Tenpai and Yubel hits was hilarious 😂
I think it would be really funny if they managed to get Kaiba or Pegasus' voice actors to do thr ban list annoucement like this. That would be so great I think
This was an incredible way to do the banlist reveal!! Incredible!
imagine if he walks back on stage and then says oh yeah maxx c is back😅
0:02 THE JINGLE RETURNED!
I find it funny that now Cyberjar is at 2. Largely because having two in a deck can screw the user over.
As for the Snake Eyes ban, I'm not happy. Largely because Snake Eyes is slowly becoming a useless archetype. Sure, people have trouble against the archetype, but that's because most don't know how to exploit the weaknesses of Snake Eyes. And now, there's a lot more that can be done against it.
I hate everything about this banlist. And by that I hate that original is banned
I LOVE FOR CIMO'S BAN LIST REACTIONS
Happy to see you healthy man!!! Keep going man!!!
So shameless. In Magic they apologize for each card banned. YGO people celebrate with the company who 1.know this card is broken. 2. decide to sell you for high price nonetheless 3. ruin your meta and gameplay. 4. banned it so you can't play what you paid for. I played 10 years YGO and think this community is braindead.
This ban release format is dope, it's current, it's necessary and healthy for the game. Things need to be a spectacle now. This was hype
they only unban because of power creep or stronger metas being in place. they really just say fuck the casual player. I'm already sick of masterduel playing against dragoon every other duel. I am in Bronze rank or the casual duel to play older decks that I like staying strict to the archetype then still get matched up against Kashtira, tear, or decks like branded where it takes no skill other than playing a thousand ways to play branded fusion. People hate floodgates but its the only way to take down these strong decks without playing said strong deck but at the same time lets these strong decks also use the floodgates. I really am starting to lose hope as a casual player. I dont mind playing some of these strong decks but its just not as fun to have such a one sided game all the time. To have a card banned that helps the lower end decks become consistent is also very mind boggling to me. Like instead of taking away terraforming from every deck just take care of the real problem and banning/limiting certain field spells. Its kinda like how Crystron Halq was the problem but they banned so many tuners and other cards that were not as much the problem. sorry for the rant this game sucks a lot of the time but i guess ill be back tommorow anyways
NOT THE TENPAI HITS (I know it’s bad for the format but I love the deck) NOOOOO
It’s literally the budget deck of the format and they just murdered it without even giving us back copies of Summoning. All of these being limited is just nuts and they clearly need you to buy the new expensive deck.
@@trexdrew agreed, now it’s just an extension engine for something like dragon link or something
@@Kyro8254 I know someone at my locals who smokescreens into it with Volcanic but yeah it’s a dead deck only an engine at best now
Well, you still have Summoning. That’s good, at least.
@ they’re all limited to one
7:22 Sangen summoning already go to 1
I think Tenpai gonna have hard time on comboing
Tenpai could keep chundra and sangen kaimen @3 if the field spell just didn't exist. now the deck is just sackier.
Nah the deck will survive i think
@@rubankervens4918 The problem with Tenpai is you just can't do anything if Sangen Summoning sticks. You get D-Barrier and like maybe one swing in the battle phase to actually do anything.
Man, id LOVE for you banlist wheel segment to come back.
Sangen Summoning is already at 1, though I wouldn't object to it getting the full banhammer along with Misc and the Gimmick Puppet field spell.
Me who pulled my third Phantom of Yubel as the Ultimate Rare to go along with my QCR and Secret in my extra deck.... well damn
Am I tripping or is this the most bizarre video ever? 😂
You've probably never been tripping if you think this is the most bizarre video ever
WAIT WHAT?! BANLIST!?
Jowgen seems like a design space hit, not an unfun it. It’s an old effect that could be split into 20 different cards with some restrictions, but you don’t want a deck with those and Jowgen because it’s too generic.
They definitely should do the banlists like this going forward. Live crowd reactions are great. Also I don't think Colossus to 3 is going to matter in the slightest in anything other than pure TD, and they need all the help they can get lmao
I would've preferred banning flamberge , well the deck is still playable right?(Ignoring diabellestar being dead unless you play the azamina engine)
I like the presentation, the List itself is mid imo. Feels less like adressing problem cards and more like "We printed two new decks, play those." Where are hits to Bonfire, where hits to fiendsmith, where niche hits to Malis, where hits to shifter? It feels like they went "Alright, the new decks are not tier 0 yet, lets hit the rest of the meta"
Ban jowgen something that requires set up but unlimit colossus something you can end in through most combo
Sangen Summoning is already at one, so with Chundra and Kaimen hits its probably fine.
Also, my reaction to this banlist is simply slap me twice and call me Shirley!! They actually banned OSS?? Hot damn! That's a huge hit! Phantom of Yubel at 1 is quite pleasant to see, but annoyingly enough is Spirit Gates being back at 3.... gross... Would anyone care to take That Grass Dragon Rulers for a spin? I'm sure all sorts of nasty shenanigans could be experimented with haha @Cimoooooooo You make a highly valid point with Colossus going to 3, yet Jowgen gets banned...? Yeah, exactly, let's ban one floodgate and unlimit another (smh). I think it is safe to say that none of us are entirely surprised about Colossus coming off the list. Still, though, we can have not one, not two, but THREE Thunder Dragon Collosus??? Good lord, Konami! 😂 Tenpai getting two hits is really nice to see. You know, now I'm really glad I picked Six Samurai as my main deck because now they have a better shot at going much farther in tournaments. Jackelope and Tsuchinoko should both be off the list entirely, Eva is fine at 2, Monkeyboard.....hmmmm, yeah, let it stay at 2. Everything else looks okay to me
Cimo you got to remember on MD they have an amount of ban "slots". So things have to come off to go on the list. Its a weird system. If they banned more they would have a bigger list but they basically make it seem like they can only have so many cards on the banlist. They have no clue how to balance the game out. So why keep trying. Something new will always show up.
we gonna play some ＥＭＰＴＹ ＪＡＲ
