[@heroicdairy]

I'm 99% sure they are going to do what they did to zoodiac, make everything affordable and easy to get for a month or two then dickslap it into oblivion (reprinted in mega tin, then banlist is one or two months later and conveniently brutalized the deck)

[@Freshley369]

Heroic Dairy zoodiac treatment would be banning engage and anchor to 1 or sth similar. They should at least keep a striker engine playable because the deck is just pretty cool over all and definitely healthier than any other meta deck atm. I simply cant spot a difference between rhongo and 7 negates.

[@notrisu]

Please don't ban the waifu

[@ProBAgar]

@@Freshley369 Raye is probably a bigger issue, as It's the heart and soul of the deck. Compare Raye to Gazelle, compare Engage to Circle, and Widow anchor to Roar. What's the best way to hinder the deck? Circle and Gazelle. Ban Raye, Ban Engage, or hit both to 1, and the deck is dead

[@Freshley369]

ProB Agar engage to 1 would already kill the deck. Salamangreat works different than striker. You just play mining, circle and debug to get to gazelle and to start your combos and with stalio and all this bs basically your whole deck is searchable. If xou take away engage you kill the only active searcher (not counting the shizuku endphase search) so there is no consistency anymore, same if you put rae to 1. raye+drones is way too less stuff to start anything. Also salamangreat is capable of otking while striker is not in most cases so multiple anchors are important as well since there is basically no other disruption. The only problem i have with striker is that its so fucking boring to play against it because they basically do nothing except going +60 each turn and slowly kill you. Its not the enjoyable kind of interaction if you ask me.

[@ishaanjakhar7541]

I've had moments where typhoon was extremely dead when I sided it in for pendulum. At times they wouldn't scale before they triggered servant so I never got the chance to activate it before the endymion came out.

10:03...i blv that statement about Nibiru is incorrect. The token atleast be ATK2900/DEF2900 if you only miragestallio bc it combines the original ATK/DEF, meaning it adds them both together as opposed to simply applying the current ATK/DEF. But someone pls correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure that this will be an important ruling throughout this format.

[@RashadenLeonis]

Why does everyone say Hercules Base on Bomber Dragon is 6k damage? Am I missing something there?

[@jamespolk6146]

Topologic Bomber's effects where if it ever kills a monster, he inflicts damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK and Hercules Base let's the equipped monster attacks twice. So it deals up to 6K damage which is absolutely insane.

[@RashadenLeonis]

James Polk I totally forgot that Bomber Dragon did that. Thank you for clearing it up for me lol

[@jamespolk6146]

No problem lol. I've been first hearing that from Cormac Adams where he ended up Top 8 playing Strikers at the Irish Nationals 2018 and this was before Drones, Kagari and other stuff were hit. And another note about Bomber Dragon with based attached is that it's really really good in the time procedure as well.

I think just a way to slow the other player down so they can't get as much. And then use area zero or multiroll to get rid of it, but yeah i was like man this should be good i only have one monster out with this deck but it wouldn't let me either because of that dumb effect has to resolve and with the old one on the field it just won't which is dumb because like give it a sec and it won't be lol
