I think agarpain could be unbanned if they errata'd the effect so that it can only summon guardragon extra deck monsters. Other than the links, the only other extra deck guardragon is almarduke. It would encourage them to expand the archetype and become its own thing instead of just another generic dragon engine.

Ahd like Agarpain, they're both extremely problematic cards for the amount of things they enabled. Overly generic card design breaking the game is an undeniable fact and should be addressed.

[@Aaroncarter95]

A lot of extra deck monsters wouldn't be as powerful if they were just effect monsters in the deck. Since if you don't have it in the hand, you would have to search it out first, or find a card that can summon it from the deck, they would be less viable since they would have to run more cards in their deck to search it or run less cards so they can draw it faster.

[@masterduelzero1795]

While I agree, modern yugioh and Konami sees the extra deck as a toolbox for extra utility and boss monsters, and main deck utility/boss monsters are generally unused unless it combos itself out with crazy consistency. It's unlikely Konami will change to only using the extra deck as utility without boss monsters since the consistency is just so much better with extra deck boss monsters, and they do need to sell cards somehow, but a competitively viable, main deck focused OTHER than dinos would be cool every now and then

[@Aaroncarter95]

@@masterduelzero1795 Konami just loves to print cards to only ban them later for being too powerful. They also love to ban cards that aren't the problem just so they don't have to ban the new card which IS the problem. While yes it's a company and to a company profits are the biggest thing, I don't think they realize how bad it really is. Only super dedicated people are going to drop hundreds of dollars for the best cards and chances are they'll be power crept or worse banned in the near future so why would I drop $300 on cards that i might not be able to use this time next year? That's why I got out of yugioh card play. The high cost of entry was not worth the little fun it brings. Nobody likes dropping triple digits on cards that might be useless soon. Nobody likes losing a duel before you even get your first turn. Nobody likes playing against a board full of negates pretty much losing you on the first turn. Yugioh has turn from a fum back and forth game you rarely won in your first 3 turns to your deck being bad if you can consistently win in your first turn or can't special summon 3 boss monsters first turn. Personally it's not much fun anymore and it's not worth spending a lot of money to get that much fun when a $60 video game is FAAAAR cheaper is offers a lot more potential fun.

I'd like a video discussing a full power Dragon Ruler deck list. I took a break from ygo around that era and want to learn more about the supposed best tier 0 deck in history.

[@morganwithaneevee246]

Actually, Dragon Rulers were never tier 0! It’s an interesting story: A tier 0 deck means a deck makes up at least 65 percent of topping decks in events (it varies a little tho), and full power Dragon Rulers never became tier zero because full power Spellbook decks were also running around at that time, which was the only actual meta deck that could compete with DRs (in other words, Spellbook of Judgement wasn’t banned yet). Then the banhammer hit and DRs were banned, Judgement was banned, and the entire meta had to shift.

@@antonbrown17 If we need to talk power creep here, we need to talk about the special summoning or more importantly how it's abused.

On top of that there are unbreakable boards and otk's running rampant across the meta too, this game is generally unbalanced to a fault which is why immune cards are almost needed. Before I end this, immune cards (though not full immunity) really were needed in the early formats just because boss monsters were really easy to kill with spells and traps which made the effort of summoning them kinda pointless really and now we have more cards that get rid of them even easier, it's sad that boss monsters feel like fodder.

Tempest Magician: ●Weaken the burn damage to something like 100 and apply burn to yourself Number 16: Color Ruler - Shock Master : ●Apply its effect to you, doing the same for the other banned cards with that effect #8: Rhongo-Bongo: ●Detach OUs to activate its Raigeki until it has only 4 left.

[@Ulysses96331]

It’s shorts exist as Vendread Battlelord, which to think people complained it was not exactly like Shock Master. Especially since some Drytron variants used it to stop hand traps.

[@MrZer093]

Shueisha technically made it. For the longest time, they didn’t care to balance the cards because they had no experience in doing so. They just slapped them together to promote non-TCG YGO products and were happy when the cards were a reason said products sold. And Konami couldn’t say no because Shueisha as the rights holder could yank the license away next time contract renewals were up. They communicate better these days at least. Also the rest of the cards mentioned in this video were all Konami’s doing. It’s just that Shock Master was the one exception so I figured I’d say something.

[@Karkesis]

I've seen it said in a lot of these videos that they can never print more cards that copy graveyard effects because of how clearly broken that effect is (obviously citing Tyrant Neptune and Starving Venom) but I mean, Phantom of Chaos is out here doing just fine. It can clearly be done in a balanced way.

[@2LettersSho]

Somehow the Phantom of Chaos effect actually insulates itself from the broken stuff really well, not being able to deal combat damage, banishing the target and also copying the target's attack value is really good card design considering how long ago it was printed. After that, the fact that it's only level 4 has been pure luck for keeping it out of trouble, a Phantom of Chaos Nightingale can still burn for 2000 (before level changing trickery) but it banishing the Nightingale means you can't just make 4 copies despite it not having a hard once per turn.

[@defaultkoala2922]

The Wind Witch fusion monster also copies effects in the grave but it is difficult to bring out turn 1 as you need to make a level 7 synchro as fusion material beforehand. It could become broken later though.

[@BloodfelX]

(17:50) When I was creating a fanmade Zombie archetype based on famous or iconic Number monsters (long story short: it was a pun based on the idea of an innumerable zombie hoard), I found just doubling the required number of materials for each of Rhongomyniad's effects went quite some distance to keep his effects in check. Another funny idea though is if you give Rhongomyniad out-right protection against targeting effects (i.e. "Cannot be targeted for effects"), Gossip Shadow would be unable to target him - and I find the concept of balancing a card by buffing it more pretty darn hilarious. (Sorry for third comment, figured since they were separate trails of thought I'd post them as separate comments)

[@BloodfelX]

For reference on how doubling the required number of materials on Rhongomyniad would still keep those effects accessible, Six Samurai turbo can easily go into Gossip Shadow with 5 Level 3 monsters and still have room to make Rhongomyniad after, which would - for example - take a 2 material Rhongomyniad to 8 materials. You can also further that with cards like Overlay Regen (though they would have to be used on Gossip Shadow, since Rhongomyniad becomes unaffected by other cards at 3+ materials).

Remember that most players are casual and many of those are turned off by seeing multiple paragraphs on a card.

The best-most-direct answer I've gotten why SK Starving Venom and Nightingale are unbanned in the OCG is Maxx C so modern players can draw into handtraps and punish FTK decks mid-combo. Maxx C in general pushed the OCG into a mid-game grind, which is why more extenders (Denglong, Tempest) could stay in the game and why Red-Eyes Dragoons was feared even more than in the TCG as an easy indestructible omni negate held insane value.

You will have to use the monster you want to copy the effect of before summoning this Starving Venom so you will not be locked out of summoning it after copying the effect. 3) If still too strong, THEN restrict the target of the copy to only copy Dark Pendulum monsters. 4) Give an errata to "Lyrilusc - Independent Nightingale" as to prevent the FTK with other copycat monsters.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

Alternatively, as a quick effect during the main phase, you detach up to 5 material to gain the corresponding effects. It would STILL be overpowered in they fact that 1 turn of summoning shutdown is more than enough to win a game, as proven by some decks that tech in Heat Wave, but it would have more counterplay since the opponent could use turn priority to Kaiju it immediately before it ever gets a chance to activate his effects, or you can set a floodgate like Threatening Roar to survive another turn, as well as some form of backrow-based negates to stop your opponent from dropping another one.

Random fact, but I found out today that Tempest Magician’s effects are slightly different across the OCG and TCG.

There’s a simple fix, just make it’s materials exclusively Heroic monsters. That card is still powerful in its own deck, but it can’t be splashed into a Warrior deck that isn’t Heroics.

Since different cards value Spell Counters differently, any card that can use Spell Counters between cards risks being broken like Tempest Magician. (A good analogy is to think of them as different currencies, and Tempest Magician can spend any of them as its currency.) Konami either has to make sure that no card has Spell Counters be low-valued like Selene, or avoid cards like Tempest Magician; the latter is a better solution than the former for future card design.

[@Verdigri]

As a beginner, my first reaction is confusion, because several of these cards are legal in Master Duel. But at least I can understand why they are in the TCG banlist (Rhongo PTSD soon)

[@557deadpool]

Rhongo shouldn't be banned

[@M6tcgapx]

This is all my opinion but the The best way to fix Agarpain is to have it as a once per dual (for tournament reasons) and the card that was special summoned leaves the field at the end of the turn it was summoned. The best way to fix Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom is to allow it to only copy Dragon Pendulum monsters and for this turn only when summoned is to gain the attack of the monster and the turn after to copy an effect of a monster once per duel. The best way to fix Tempest Magician is to have her effect to remove counters one 1 card and the effect can only be activated once per 2 turns. The best way to fix Number 16: Shock Master is to have it as a once per turn and detach all materials while keeping it at 3. The best way to fix Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad is removing the unaffected by other cards effect and replace it with either destroy or ban a card on your field and make the 4 materials can't special summon more than 3 monsters and add an effect of if a material isn't removed destroy this card or ban this card but like I said this is all my opinion

[@lucascaique2636]

I remember used Shock Master with the Star Seraph archetype , was so broken because with Star Seraph Scepter you could target one card on the field and destroy it and draw one card and Star Seraph Scepter when is summoned can search one Star Seraph monster from the deck and if you had Star Seraph Sovereignty in your hand you can special summon and draw one card and if you search another Star Seraph Sovereignty through Star Seraph Scepter's effect you can special summon from your hand and draw another card , so you could easily bring out at least 3 monsters on the field and special summon Shock Master and draw 3 cards all in 1 turn .

[@Realdeal958]

I don't play competitively so this is all really interesting to me. I don't keep up with banlists or meta stuff like that so this is a great way to understand why certain cards are banned.

[@satan899]

One rule change to eliminate most ftks, the player who goes first cannot burn their opponents life points If a monster effect is activated that requires your opponent to take burn damage, it could still be used and the burn effect would resolve however no lp would be deducted (in order for any possible deck to still function and not be unplayable unintentionally) I don’t know why they never thought of this but it would solve a lot of problems and would allow some cards to immediately come off the ban list

[@OscarGilFerrer]

If I had a dollar every time DuelLogs said Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom in its place in the top, I'd be rich.

[@brandol75]

another eratta to unban agarpain would be to include agarpain the 2 or more link monsters points to a monster zone. For starving venom another restrictions could be that it must be fusion summoned and you cannot use other effects for the rest of the turn. Tempest can change the needed materials to spellcasters that you can place on them spell counters (yes, there's a spellcaster tuner that you place spell counters on it), also selene can chnage her materials to only spellcasters that you can place spell counters on them. Shock master can have the restriction of hard once per turn instead of soft. Gossip shaddow can have it materials to be exactly 6 (good luck with that) and rongo detach 1 material during the start of each phase.

[@Crim-kun]

the fun thing about tempest magician is that cloudians have a trap that does the exact same thing while also have access to spells that can load up the field with fog counters if there are enough monsters present. but just because its so inconsistent no one plays it. so modern spell counter support is what really made it broken

[@leonam6474]

#86 decks suck to play against so much, like they aren’t big enough to otk so you either scoop or pass one or two turn

[@MattSinz]

IMO Konami should change Rhongomyniads effect to "your opponent cannot normal or special summon summon monsters on your side of the field." That would still be a powerful effect but nowhere near as BS.

[@thefrostwizardgamer1555]

Independent nightingale can probably be given an effect that this card's effects can't be used by monsters that don't have the same name as this card So that copying is no longer an issue,skdsv get unbanned and copying the effect will mostly requires something that copies the name like Odd-eyes venom dragon (this monster copies both the name and effect but can only copy from opponent Monsters in the field) to make it "perfectly balanced"

[@mushythezombehkiller]

Limiting Agarpain to only enabling only that 1 summon for the turn is probably the best way to go about having such an effect tbh, but for added measure it could also only work if 2 additional monsters are pointing to a zone it's also pointing too (requiring 3 monsters to point to the same zone). Locking Starving Venom to only dark pendulums would still leave potential pot holes for future card design, so prevent it from inflicting burn damage for the turn if it's effect is used, and from keeping the effects until the next turn so it doesn't have the ability to benefit so much from gained protections. Tempest should absolutely receive a cap on how much burn damage it can do, say max. 1500, as well as making it a hard once per turn, so it can be used as a sort of game ending alternate win con card, without making it almost completely useless given there are way better spell counter generating cards in the game for it to see play otherwise. Change Shock Master to only negate the first card of what it declares during the opponent's turn as a hard once per turn effect (similar to how the Magician's Hand's/ Spiritual Art Ichirin spell cards work), it then becomes a decent but not overly stupid Xyz monster, there is also the option of allowing the opponent to complete an action, such as discarding a card/paying LP etc... to negate its effect similarly to how cards like the Dark and Light Spiritual arts or Fairy Tail Luna work. I'd argue you could change Rhongomyniad to only having targeting protection and change it's effect of locking summons to destroying (not negating) 1 summoned monster your opponent plays, it has a decent pay off and isn't completely unfair to play against in this state.

[@lordvalefar5263]

On Rongomyniad they could possibly change the 4+ effect to have the cost that requires all its materials and only lasts until the end of the turn. Or they could also make the 4+ effect trigger upon summon and only last until the end of the next turn. That might fix it.

The heroic champion can be fixed if they made it that you have to detach a number of materials for the selected effect (like detach 3 xyz materials to become immune or detach 5 to lock your opponent from summoning) and the activation is not once per turn just to not ruin the card and also keep the maintenance cost.

[@johnnyjohnson4265]

An idea for unbanning supreme king venom is making only work on the opponent's GY. Then it would be more of a niche counter or mirror match card

[@ragnaricstudios5888]

That was probably the intended use for it

[@tonberryking42]

Fun fact about Rhongomyniad. Its 5 material effect can't actually be activated if it has 6 or more materials; as its 1 through 4 material effects all stipulated "[X] or more:" (or "[X]+" on the errata). But the 5th effect can only be activated if it strictly has exactly 5 materials due to lacking that extra "or more"/"+" clause.

[@jackofaces107]

I feel like starving venom could get off the banlist if they have the effect copying be a hard once per turn, since you need 2 copies to copy independent nightingales effect to do the FTK, also I feel like for the tyrant Neptune as well the only reason these two cards are banned is because of independent nightingale, so I feel like if we just ban that card it would fix it IMO

[@TWLSpark]

The issue isn't only that Nightingale is a menace to strong copying-other-monters effects, but that it would cause long-term issues when designing cards, to the point that banning the copying monsters becomes an inevitability. Yeah, it's technically the copied cards' fault, but you can't simply ban every future offender and not realize that maybe you're better off without the ones copying them.

[@rablizedesmori5974]

[@U1TR4F0RCE]

For shockmaster would it being reciprocal make it able to be unbanned. Since that would be powerful but also prevent you from doing new interrupts on their turn unless you have spells or traps. For Rhongo if you restricted its xyz mats to heroic monsters would that help?

[@dynamik8883]

For Number 16 : Shock Master, adding a gamble effect would make it still as powerful, but inconsistent. (Like, 1-2 = Monster, 3-4 = Spell and 5-6 = Trap.)

[@nyx2889]

Rongo's 4th effect could be changed to Winda's floodgate effect: both players can only special summon once per turn. then, he should have "cannot be destroyed" instead of unaffected so he can still be sent or tributed away by something

Rhongomyniad can be fixed by simply increasing the manteinante cost to 2 or even 3 materials each turn. You would need to summon Gossip EACH TURN to offset this manteinance cost, wich could be easily cut short by limiting Shadow if it is still a problem. Wich by the way, it STILL is a problem since it can get you a Zeus with a stupefyingly large amount of XYZ materials on pretty much any deck.

for rhongomyniad I think it could be unbanned if they changed "unaffected by other cards' effects." to "cannot be targeted by card effects." this would make it so while you can still use gossip shadow, you need to wait for 3 turns minimum to regain his most dangerous effect, and he could now be destroyed with raigeki or mirror force.

[@blackmark2899]

Agarpain could be fixed by just targeting either other Guardragons or World Chalice dragons. It's obvious that they want this effect to work with the over archetype of World Chalice cause lore. Just lock it to be in archetype and it would do wonders to fix it.

Honestly,I think Tempest Magician's burn damage could just be significantly reduced and given a hard once per turn,I can't see it not coming back.
