[@Farfa]

A lot of people are criticising my disdain of towers coming back. Yes I understand that the deck sucks and I am well aware of the fact it's at full power in OCG and does nothing. When people refer to new broken boss monsters they use the term "towers" to describe cards that are unaffected by everything basically. This is the legacy this card has spawned. This is the mark apoqliphort towers has left on yugioh over the years even after being banned. Towers should not come back as a matter of principle. Whether it's a good card or deck will be relevant or not is NOT THE POINT. The very fact cards like this exist and are being reprinted in different and various forms over the years (Megazord, Master Peace, Ultimate Falcon) is not good for the game. That's my thoughts on this return. It's about the principle, not what its practical impact will be, if any.

[@FGj-xj7rd]

Luckily, Konami doesn't run their banlist based on principles. Its all about the impact that a card has in the metagame.

[@tha1stalchemist]

*Vader breathez heavy* 4 once... I completely agree... *Vader breathez heavy*

[@brutalnobody5240]

Farfa you do realize it's no where near as hard to kill as master piece most decks now can run it over if not stop it altogether it can't pop cards actively either and skill drains at 1 compared to 2000 who even cares where you had to use a diamond crab or some shit to crash

[@dragonslayerbond]

The banlist isn't about prinicable though, how many Stratos like cards are at 3? Or how about MKBoard being banned yet Scout is at 1? The banlist should be pragmatic not idealistic.

[@inciaradible7144]

True. I'm mostly annoyed that Scout is still at 1.

[@Stogen]

The only thing I will miss Is seeing maxx c in the table 500 replays

[@Farfa]

The real loss in this ban list.

[@Stogen]

Farfa but at least they still have a firewall to pass with

[@Kyurem97]

Yeah wtf, people wont be able to chain Maxx C to Joker anymore. Unsubscribed.

[@Bovina2010]

Bought expensive Electrumites. Currently eating a handful of tide pods.

[@liakhachikyan3243]

Ash Forehead You mean scramble eggs

[@snippy9084]

Same here bro

[@soulgoldgaming6131]

#CANDYCREW

[@matheusfili]

Firewall Pass is gonna be lit now. Also, no more "MAXX CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" -Darren.

[@joshuaxiong8377]

I ACTIVATE SOLEM JUDGMENT!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! Trickstar player: Aaaaaand that's half your life points already, sweet.

[@dantetraveleroftheburninga5376]

"We haven't had to play kaijus, no degenerate monsters for a while" Whats sleeper?

[@Farfa]

People have been playing evenly for that deck.

[@dantetraveleroftheburninga5376]

People have been playing scolding for that card

[@albertooliboni3046]

They didn't touch the droll/trickstar combo, nice konami, good fucking job

[@kiren3168]

Blame droll not reincarnation for that INCONSISTENT COMBO. Did a trickstars player win a match that is 2 duels using that combo ? NO

[@inciaradible7144]

Inconsistent as fuck.

[@Aiden-zi3xf]

TOWERS IS BACK NIGGGAAAAAA

[@eulefranz944]

fuck man I swear Cap G will drool now.. level eater monster reborn spyrals I swear if he says again that Konami watches his videos and listens to him....................................................

[@TheoJay615]

inb4 Cap actually works with Konami and has been playing double agent the whole time.

[@Marqrk]

He said ban level eater months ago then stopped, if he says its cuz of him that's just straight up lying Also if anything Komoney listens to Rank10, it's been 3(?) times now that he makes a comment or joke about a card then it comes true soon after

[@MasterigPokemon101]

he also just talked about his prediction of maxx "c" going to 3 so...

[@armoduesgrimlock7677]

He has also been asking for a terraforming ban for a long time now.

[@Marqrk]

I really don't get why you'd want to ban terraforming It's a utility any field spell deck could use and none have really been absurdly broken other than Spyral but they had other means of searching it too if I'm not mistaken

[@gbdeck200]

Monster rebo- *Pauses at the realization of what he was about to say* Love that, same with judgment Crazy banlist

[@soulkutu]

REBORN THE MONSTER!!~!

[@soulgoldgaming6131]

soulkutu sorry if you like that card but what I think konami is doing is makeing some money it's gonna go on high demand than that will reprint it short print it in ultra or secret rare than everyone's gonna go after new art ultra/secret rate monster reborn then THEY WILL BURN IT BACK TO THE BANLIST fuck it lets ban the hand trap sisters forever then bring them back short print a new art in ultra/secret rare than ban it again fuck you konami fuck you

[@vasily8315]

Can you have a moment of pray for the dark synchro player who lost gofu and lvl eater

[@RazorXGamer]

RIP 037Wolf may he rest in peace amen

[@vasily8315]

It s not the end lol Stil lthe dark engine We will find solutions

[@turcumircea5816]

Lol farfa you went full rage when you saw towers.

[@Farfa]

It's about the PRINCIPLE

[@turcumircea5816]

I know man , i know But damn was your reaction just adorableeeeeeee

[@isaiah8770]

Sometimes I like to look back at some of these ban list reactions and laugh at Farfa freaking out about hits and unbans that really didn’t have a huge effect on the meta game, like solemn, reborn, and towers

[@TheDarkMagic000]

Getting salty about towers in 2018 😂😂😂

[@Jazzshadow2]

Unbanning towers is only fair, if MP the better card is at 3, and Towers isn't immune to links.

[@FGj-xj7rd]

The third good banlist in a row.

[@heathcliff3880]

f. g its a miracle

[@cynicviper]

If you count the spyral hit banilst lol.

[@spyox2215]

Double iris got banned and joker what the heck is this shit

[@emildokle261]

spyOx ikr

[@henriquebrittes296]

My Odd-Eyes disagree

[@casualgamingdad2424]

Dude your reactions are so real and genuine...and HILARIOUS!! 😂😂😂

[@TheCrunchG]

Can't wait for Troop Dupe Scoop in the Table 500 replays.

[@animeknight99]

I did not expected the ban list to update today. I have an appointment to go to

[@alexmccullough1961]

This new banlist is fucking wild lmao, I never saw any of this coming

[@AnarchoBearBear]

Towers could come back the moment master piece was printed and you know that.

[@justtoolit6051]

LMAOOO I'm so happy that Towers is back

[@Marcusjnmc]

ayy Farfa, nice pick up with your Zefra

[@I_Am_Bowi]

Towers could go to 3 and it wouldn't make a difference. If qli fails to do ANYTHING in the ocg with towers/skill drain/scout/saqlifice at 3 then it won't do jack here with skill drain, scout and towers at 1

[@TheoJay615]

The list is straight fire! (Props to Konami for laying the hammer!)

[@aminebachir3394]

lets go boys, I loved this list XD

[@Ditto-ib5xv]

Terraforming dodges the list again?

[@conorbuckman340]

Ditto1396 shouldn't be on the list

[@deankolpin4736]

A deck thinning card that allows for multiple copies of field spells? Maybe a Semi or at least a Limit depending on the current targets in the meta

[@armoduesgrimlock7677]

Or they could stop intentionally making stupid dumb powerful field spells that they know damn well will have to get hit regardless.

[@deankolpin4736]

Armodues Grimlock of course they won't, printing powerful cards is where the revenue is at

[@conorbuckman340]

Dean Kolpin don't hit the searcher which helps rogue decks, hit the abusive field spells in the Meta. Simple.

[@novvaplays4980]

"firewall hit, this fixes a lot of problems" yeah like linking away two firewall and more monsters into another firewall :D

[@blueeyesepicdragon]

The Towers reaction was gold. Please clip.

[@hsinhaowang]

Maxx "C" is now the new, "do you kno da wae."

[@Aiden-zi3xf]

stratos/construct feels like the first line of psychosocial.

[@GamerCainey]

You can search grinder with magical contract door, so now we have 4 copies.

[@lucaslennan3356]

Remember when you said banning towers was "Excessive".

[@Clee-os6pv]

Yes! Glad that Monster Reborn and Solemn Judegment are back.

[@SirEmanon]

#maxxxxciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii RIP friend I agree, Towers/Monster Reborn coming back is... scary, to say the least. Overall, nice hits.

[@arjanzweers6542]

Well I Always said that as long as Master Peace isn't banned Towers shouldn't be banned either. I would rather see it remained banned and Master Peace getting banned as well because Towrs is banned but they ended up unbanning Towers so yeah....at least it's some consistency on Konami's part.

[@SirEmanon]

Yeah, that's true. Towers is far from the most broken thing in the game nowadays, but I don't think we need more of them running around, personally. I'd rather them hit Master Peace, which wouldn't realistically happen given how Draco isn't super meta-relevant at the moment. But yea, I agree that at least Konami's relatively consistent/stable when it came to the hits this time around.

[@jacura2staffordcity877]

I'm shocked that firewall gets limited and nothing is done to snow rabbit, ash and even winter cherry.

[@JusticesShadow]

Who would win? Almighty Ancient Entity, with evil sealed inside capable of destroying the entire planet. Furthermore unaffected by every card category in the game. or One Borrely Boi.

[@lizzieflamingo7367]

Now Darren will finally stop yelling "Maxx C REEEE"

[@alexandruandros1271]

I really liked this banlist. I think monster reborn is not that big of an issue, it's gonna be more of a comeback/combo extender, like soul charge

[@mistaisnotamused3285]

Dat on synch "what?!" when we saw monster reborn

[@Drschnarch]

Ever since the split of the OCG and the TCG banlists in 2013 this is the best the TCG has done so far.

[@astrograph7875]

Drschnarch Dude, We had the split banlist since the beginning

[@Drschnarch]

I know, I meant the major differences in both lists since september 2013 since the march 2013 lists had pretty much (if not exactly(?)) the same cards in the forbidden, limited and semi-limited categories.

[@cyberneticking]

I watched this as I was sleeving my Qliphorts lolololo Seeing Towers at 1, boiiiiiii

[@DragonTuwu]

Trust; I don't think towers will do anything here let alone make it to the board. The only way to get it out requires atleast 4 other cards (scales, one scout preferred, two monsters and towers or SAQ already in hand) prerequisite and it probably won't even win you the game, utopia tl too stronk. I'm excited to see where the game goes after all this spice.

[@LazyLee]

#MAXCEEEE bls at 3 was something that I never thought would happen

[@Ny333YGO]

You're right. Towers should have gone to 3. It is the most balanced boss monster ever created. Unlike other boss monsters, they even wrote how to kill it on the card, with lv10/rk10+ monsters or with non-activated monster effects. Ok you got me. I just wanted to make some 9/11 jokes when I take a Towers with Borreload and crash it into another Towers.

[@Marcusjnmc]

: O Monster Reborn can finally see play on the World Championship stage, & Solemn Judgement is fine imo, there are a fair number of omni negates around atm & it has a fair cost early game & when was late game very relevant recently ?

[@kiren3168]

Beautiful banlist ! Nice job konami. Thank you sincerely

[@skateguy224]

TOWERS BACK STRAP IN BOYS!

[@brutalnobody5240]

The trap is back

[@MCcreeperlover123]

the semi- limited and limited are so you see the cards some times BUT NOT ALL THE TIME lmao

[@dustybunns]

#maxxciiiiiiiiiiiiiii I'm indifferent about this list at the moment. What do you think the meta is going to look like?

[@henriquebrittes296]

AAAND MY ODD-EYES ARE DEAD

[@GoldenSableye]

Saw monster reborn and i screamed

[@TiTuS0]

Monster Reborn got errata'd they errata'd the art :^)

[@the_trash_mane5875]

MY EMOTIONS ARE A MESS MAN.

[@TheTrueRaexes]

>saqlifice is back >Towers is back >monster reborn is back THE END TIMES HAVE COME!

[@darkslayerdon2133]

Konami was like no more egao with this banlist

[@Saxhero0835]

The semi-limited and limited list exist for one reason: Konami wants luck to be a factor in their game. I'm on the fence as to whether or not this is a good thing because, on one hand, I want the game to be as consistent as possible, but on the other, I believe it closes the gap between tiers. Occasionally seeing limited or semi-limited cards allows a rogue deck, when lucky, to be able to beat a meta deck, which I think everyone can agree is a good thing once in a while; however, the issue becomes that many times, a meta deck can play the same limited of semi-limited cards. In this coming meta format, we will likely see lots of ABC, Invoked, and True Draco, all of which place heavy influence on normal summoning, and thus, are significantly discouraged from running grinder golem. This allows for the potential of a rogue player getting lucky and being able to overcome the meta deck. The limited and semi-limited part of the list exists to prevent combos when Konami doesn't print hard once per turn clauses, and wants to hit a deck's consistency because they want more luck to be in the game. How much luck SHOULD be in the game is a matter of personal preference, and Konami seems to desire luck to be a factor this format. Unrelated, but we need a table 500 tournament of all the best (worst) decks played against each other!

[@marcoganzo4266]

best banlist ever

[@nabeelalmulla8587]

is tower really that bad? I just read its effect, is really something you rage agints? to notice, I qiut yugioh between 2011 and 2015 so I think I miss it back in the day, I know about killer cue people did tell me about it, but what tower problem? is there a combo that made it ban in the 1st place?

[@anonagon4550]

If they were going to unban Towers, they could have given us Construct too. A reunion of New Challengers-era degenerate boss monsters, if you will.

[@nabeelalmulla8587]

judgement WHY? one word " actually two " counter fairy NOW CAN YOU DIG THHAT, SCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKERRRRRRRRRRRR!

[@AnarchoBearBear]

TOWERS IS BAAAAAACK!

[@TheKoneko1312]

"so gofu is at 0 but grinder golem at 1? meh, seems fair" -Konami, 2018

[@jordonkarini1236]

#Maxx C ,been watching all the live reactions today and it's only 4:45am lol

[@lucasd8527]

[@toadsagejacob7896]

Double Iris Skullcrobat Joker Maxx C Replacements now? Chronograph Upstart Goblin Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon I guess? Like idfk on the Odd-Eyes thing, I'd only do it because I need to summon Z-Arc since that's the reason I'm playing the deck.

[@HotPepperLala]

Can you invite Ryan and Calvin back to talk about the banlist?

[@toolazytothinkofanusername7949]

Time to main 3x Magical Contract Door xD

[@BoBnfishy]

Eyy at least stratos is still banned

[@crazywolf889]

Opponent summons Towers. I summon Borreload.

[@brutalnobody5240]

Sir Real gg

[@thebackrow4247]

Hmm, the yugioh community seems to be saying that hand traps are a problem. What to do, what to do...... Ah I know, how about ban MAXX CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@maskofthedragon]

Pour a cold one out for the Maxx C challenge

[@emildokle261]

[@10inchminsh90]

Level Eater ban, now I'm quitting the game. My Synchron deck is now dead

[@nekoManiac92]

#MAXXCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@cynicviper]

Why are you worried about Towers and Reborn? Like Reborn is a meh(yeah I mean it, although it is more on the good side of meh). Towers is strong sure, game winning, but can Qli really summon it consistently? Even if they can, they are outs, not only kaijus, but also we now have Utopia. Also with triple TT, BT and one SJ, GL with that **hysrerical laughing**

[@brutalnobody5240]

Van Hohenheim not game winning really if they even let you summon it in the first place it's not a true draco like mp or mech it's not immune to all cards and can't float/pop cards for free

[@estevaoM524]

hopefully someday my construct will go back to 1 #maxxciiiiiii

[@AnarchoBearBear]

Monster reborn too haha

[@DragonmasterSK]

Me: Towers is a terrible card design Others: But you use Chaos Maxx D- Me: Shut up Mokuba!!!!

[@MiguelitoJimz]
