omni negate without cost is broken thats why everybody wants to play turn 1 they want to build full negate board because they know they will negate every opponent card in turn 2 without discarding/tributing anything its free negate and free win

trash fromat y no flood gates

FK format isn’t the worst. What’s your guys’ favorite ?

If going 2md ever became to strong they could just let player 1 draw again. Perfect fix in mentality boars breakers over handtrap

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT YUGIOH VIDEO IN THE LAST 10 YEARS! THIS NEED TO BE VIRAL. ITS A MIND SET PPL JUST DNT WANT TO BE HANDTRAPED OUT THE GAME ITS UNHEALTHY. BOARDBREAKERS ALLOW VARIANCE.

I really like this list, have you talked to any simulater developers to see if they can port your list? Things like the masterduel offline mod, Db , mp3 and others if they could port your list it could get to more players. THIS LIST IS FAR BETTER THAT KONAMI'S! RESPECT

What's your workout routine?

I love your videos

I play pendulum magicians and the way I play through nib is by putting a vortex dragon on the field before pendulum summoning. This sadly requires a very specific 2 card combo (or 3 more generic ones and kinda plays through hand traps). The cool part is that vortex will hit the board AFTER nib hits and then I get to pendulum summon one monster from ED and whatever I got in my hand, which usually ends at 60~70% of my average combo.

This format seems very boring

Great video man they butchered the most iconic yugioh cards We can only pray for an errata one day

This is fantastic

Wow bad player trying to "recreate" yu gi oh couse they don't knwo how ti play really funny

This is way too involved to be viable

I love the concept of semi-forbidden list. Looks actually implementable into the game. Would make many op generic cards playable.

I would love to see some other yugitubers give your format a try! It’s a solid idea. Love that many toxic cards are banned!

Structures need to come back. I like to get them as they are self-contained. I would even want a structure deck only casual format to get popular too. Structures are great for people like me who want to dip into YGO casually

Beard format goated

purulia should be fine and not forbidden. the imbalance of going second is inherent to turn based games, its a fundimental design challange that needs to be overcome. the draw a card hand traps are only as powerful or obnoxious as the cards drawn. if the handtraps are kept in check as you argue they are, then the obnoxious draws are kept in check. you should percive it as the going second player can choose to draw 3 on their first turn, but it costs a card.

I love this banlist. If I understand it correctly, I could play branded with 3 branded fusion, one branded in red and one mirrorjade (without Sanctifire, Expulsion, Super-poly or Dragostapelia), so exactly the way it should be. I wouldn't want it any other way.

That's sounds really good but i would like to add 1 more section (i don't have idea for the name). it's go like this you follow the fk banlist format but there is also one more restriction where some cards can NOT be put in the deck if you have a certain name. For example you can't use any ishizu cards if you have tearlaments or lightsword for example.

Whatever format rules you set, the future is digital. Konami offers little customization on format rules, which is a required policy change for progress. It is also too unreliable for players to be able to come up with appropriate ban/limit lists unless they have the data that konami does on W/L rates, combined with card usage rates. Gen AI could optimally select for a very good ban list but konami doesnt because their focus is on profit maximization over gameplay, we know konami knows, because all the problem cards are dealt with in events. So for a really good ban list, we would need konami to prioritize the games health over short term money, which they wont do

No link to formats forbidden list?

I hate the tenpai cards you only need one card to summon countless monsters, leaving your opponent's field completely exposed because the Tenpai strategy is supported by 15 hand traps, board breakers, and Kaijus.

This is nice in theory but way too convoluted. One can have a good sense of the entire ban list as it is now, with this, forget about it you need spreadsheets for deck building.

Try and get the fan made games to incorporate this so we can test it out

In my group we tried out what we called Anime Format. Acted like you were a character in the anime and We each picked an archetype and could only use cards based on that archetype. No hand traps unless supported in your achetype choice, since you could only use monsters in your archetype you couldnt use generic ED boss monsters that were omni negates so no Savage Dragon Barrone Appo boards. No floodgates unless it was part of your archetype. One consistency card (draw or search) unless supported in your archetype (E Hero could use E Call or ROTA but not both for example). With this "format" you couldnt splash multiple broken engines into a deck, no generic boss monster splashes, it focused on archetypes so you couldnt play a specific attribute or type unless your archetype just so happened to be a specific type and/or attribute but you lost all the generic searchers if you chose to use your in archetype search card. Deck building was intersting and we saw alot of use of old battle traps as well since we allowed the battle traps that used to be popular as protection and interaction back in the day to be used as generic support.

I hope we can get an online ygo sim that implements this format. I don't have the cash to play irl ygo, but I do enjoy the game. It'd be interesting to play and deck build in this format.

It is a good solution, but yugioh players can't even read... I don't see Konami making their ban list more complex then counting to 3.

This ban list is crazy complicated but so is the game at this point so fuck it lets do it

My favorite part about modern yugioh is the hand traps, engagement, and variety that is obtainable with combos + deck builds. My least favorite part about modern yugioh is the one card combos that lead to multiple negates, cards that summon/search floodgates, and generic extra deck boss monsters that invalidate the expressiveness of the game. This is the best format that I have seen trying to balance the pros and cons of modern yugioh.

Personally Duel Link's banlist system is something I'd like to see the TCG experiment a tad bit

Bruh this all nice but ygo players are lazy, maybe get into a deal with some of the emulators and ask to import this ban list in their sites/programs, its would help everyone out, good idea, hopefully its also fun playing it

On paper, this is a really great idea, but Limit 5 and Limit 10 can feel like the Semi-limited and Limited List ngl. Limiting the avaiability of all these cards that are fufilling a similar function, but would be too strong if they were more than a certain amount Avaiable. (Excample, Called-By + Crossout in Master Duel atm). I really like the Semi-Forbidden idea, since it's easier to add into the existing ban-list, meaning it can be made insanely accessible, which would be the biggest hurdle for any player, really. I cannot imagine how much work would have to go into actually making your 7 layer list, maintaining it, AND have the data to objectively make these judgement calls, since your player count will be lower at first. And then having players go through it all aswell, it sounds too much prep work, especially when you need to think about what your opponent plays too. While -just- the Semi-Forbidden list will give me the info "Oh, he played Verte, he can't have these cards then." ALSO, maintaining just a Semi-Forbidden list, and adjusting it every real-Banlist, incentivises it to stay fresh, and can be also maintained far easier. If you think a ban is unwarranted, you can simply slip it into the Semi-Forbidden list instead too. I love some ideas out of this, you clearly have given it -alot- of thought. But JUST out of obligation to XKCD though: Situation: There are 14 competing Standards. "14?! Ridiculous! We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases." "Yeah!" Soon: There are 15 competing Standards.

sounds nice in theory but way too complicated to deckbuild also seemingly impossible to make a banlist that makes everyone happy. but the part I like the most is having a max threshold for generic handtraps, that's something that would make the game 1000% better if konami finally come to their sense... 12:00 ok but banning desavewurm is a bit dumb. he is just a little mill target^^ but FK sounds interesting, I'll give it a chance for sure

You got me with the PK Launch ban instead of Kali Yuga. I wonder how complex this banlist system is compared to archetype clauses similar to "Domain Format", and I can guarantee there will be many illegal decklists due to the "dynamic banlist". It would be a great solution to have a "deck builder" to avoid the above issues, while said format will become more and more optimized as the meta is defined thus hitting potential synergies that didn't catch your eye initially. There is also the potential there for unbans of old and forgotten cards benefiting nostalgia decks while being checked by the dynamic banlist preventing loops and abuse. Finally another concern I have is that placing so many handtraps into the "limited X cards" can easily backfire even with a lower ceiling because you can get lucky and draw your "1 card combo" while the opponent won't have that many options to stop it, leading to some incredibly annoying games. In my opinion, balancing isn't about removing every single floodgate/handtraps/1 card combos, but going for gameplay similar to AgOv format (without Tear/Mannadium/Infernoble being as broken, for example a Dolphin ban for Infernoble, the generic end board for Mannadium, the Master Duel treatment before banning Planet for Tear)

I like the idea but I want ALL my Tear waifus at once thanks very much. Along with Ishizu.

bro your limit lists are just as arbitrary. you are trying to create a more fair list by incorporating "legendary" cards from duel links/speed duels into it, but having a list for hand traps only is the only way to make that list not be completely arbitrary and pointless like konami's. giving up 3 whole-ass archetypal cards for the privilege of running super poly is CAP. I'll keep repeating this until Konami listens, but there needs to be a gamemode where both players have 120 seconds to set up a board uninterrupted (No interaction with other player other than raising opponent's life points) then it coin flips to decide who goes first. Hand traps wont be so heavily relied on if that game mode gets played and itll be more like an actual duel where thought and considerations is taken into account.

"You can play your favourite pet deck" Arise-Heart is banned not interested hahaha

Is there a channel on the discord with example deck lists?

Lol, "Fuck Konomi"?

Cant wait to play fuck format

Your format's ban list is awful. I can still play 90% power Fiendsmith Yubel and like 85% power Azamina Snakes. Solves literally nothing. Just spent like an hour picking through the list for what current meta decks still got through and I'm woefully unimpressed. The ban list is thoroughly incompetent and doesn't at all achieve the intended goal. I can still play Azamina Snakes with 13 hand traps, even more if I didn't like TacTalents so much. I can 100% shove twenty hand traps into a deck right now no problem. There's more HT's than Ash, Veiler, Imperm. I kinda vibe with the IDEA of the format but the CURRENT execution at the time of writing (11/28/24) is WAY off the mark and hardly checks anything at all.

Is it fun tho? Ive been playing with a young cousin and all weve been using is lob - psv cards.

This is my first time hearing about this, I'm so down for this!!

Duel links was right all along

This is honestly a really cool idea. But what made you come up with FIVE as the magic number for restricted. What makes it more special than 4 or 6, or whatever other number?

What if someone plays boardbreakers instead of handtraps in modern TCG? Not everyone plays with 20 handtraps - I prefer boardbreakers to play a simpler YuGiOh. Also, ALL the Bystials in Limited? I sleep. zzz

this is amazing, we need to get the big content creators to react to this to spread the word, i'll send it to our locals chats and hopefully they'd be down to try it out

big banlists have the problems of difficulty checking when building a deck. i do think that s:p is powerful, but since it allows every deck to do SOMETHING after getting railed by handtraps, it is healthy and shouldnt be on semi-restr. it literally fixes "you handtrap your opponent to death and play as if you were going first" problem without adding unnecessary hits to handtraps. in this sense, I:P deserves the chop more because it gives access to S:P on opponents turn with its banish effect.
