The Most Profitable Forbidden/Limited List for Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel (August 2023)

[@bakuraryu7773]

I somehow believes in your prediction list more then anyone else, simply because money is the biggest contributor for a banlist

[@safeandsound712]

So if we give the C the axe we gotta axe blocky boy, tomahawk, aurodon, and countless other things including chaotic ruler and more. I don't think they want to overhaul the game that much if they don't have to.

[@jacobortiz7087]

I don't think banning just Maxx c would really make a difference to be honest, atleast not at high ranks, whenever it comes it's just a huge slugg whenever it comes up

[@erbinha_1234]

Maxx C is not keeping those cards in check. Maxx C could be banned and those cards would be just about in the state that they are now.

[@mahmoudelbanna1153]

I agree with limited and semi limited list but banned card (like kitkalos and dimensional barrier no any thing else could simply go )

[@laughingman7467]

And komoney will always forget to unlimit tri-brigade fraktall for the next 10 patches.

[@kazune2469]

evenly at 2 is a perfect ratio for best of 1 imo

[@awesoming_]

galaxy tomohawk needs to be banned, kash can use it from one card (unicorn) and it summons you five tokens while giving your opponent no advantage and costing really nothing.

[@DNNYYCLR]

You are locked into xyz at that point if you use theosis Out of unicorn.

[@erbinha_1234]

I'm pretty sure the only 1 card to combo to summon tomohawk kashtira has (without the xyz lock) is summoning Fenrir, searching Riseheart and then normal summoning him.

[@vaxel0068]

what's the point of limiting gamma? might as well just ban the thing.

[@rafflesiaandfriends]

I think Maxx C should go to 3 in the tcg so tcg players would stop putting Maxx C on master duel predictions, both md, tcg and ocg are 3 different formats. Maxx C is a very strong card but it's not a win-con unless your deck is bad or if your hand isn't that flash.

[@daedalus5253]

Cope

[@steeveedragoon]

I will say that Naturia beast isn't necessarily a bad suggestion for a hit, it can be just as bad as io at times, but I feel like banning it doesn't have anything to do with Kash. Mostly for 2-3 reasons. The less, but still, relevant reason of Naturia beast not functioning under Arise-heart. The similar and more relevant reason of naturia beast not working under d shifter. And the reason of Kashtira Fenrir answering it immediately. As for Maxx "C", yeah, get that shit outta here. That card isn't even remotely balanced or fair. And anyone who thinks it's fair is incredibly fucking stupid.

[@vo1ce147]

idk about monkey because you know that very very specific link 2 exist

[@absoul112]

If they ever did ban Maxx “C”, it would be so funny if it turns out the bug isn’t the problem and people still complain.

[@kamenlobster]

Unbanned red-eyes dragoon for love of god

[@Miyaoko_]

Yeah this is something I thought about too. Unban Dragoon for some promotional Yugi/Joey pack that gives a dragoon + animation. And people who craft it don’t get an animation. Its genius, and it’ll get that boomer wallet going.

[@Matter_Of_Fact]

Im sorry but i think you're crazy if you think Maxx C is going anywhere.

[@legi0nzer088]

Put Girsu at 3 and Ib World Chalice Justiciar at 1 for my World Legacy decks. Please and thank you.

[@Ribbonzarkuraspear]

Don’t think Kit needs to be banned since Kash checks the deck hard and there’s Bystials

[@darkpendulumsystem]

Ik a lot of people like Gama to 1 but myself I like it,Gama is one of thoes werid card that it's not worth it at 1 with the brick but I can see it's a bit unfair at 3...feel like Gama should be semi limited in md(tcg as well)

[@prinnynaito]

I wish your predictions would come true but I don't want to underestimate Konami's executives stupidity

[@theduelist6033]

Honest question if max c gets banned why should i not just build ftk decks. Since no cards can punish me more the max c. I see ftks in the same group as going second decks they are very powerful when your when they take you by surprise.

[@erbinha_1234]

You can just build FTK decks now. There are multiple FTK decks that don't special summon, like Exodia and Nurse Burn. But even a deck like Bishbaalkin FTK that does special summon a lot to FTK doesn't care about Maxx C, unless it draws Imperm (before resolving the effect of Bish) or Nibiru, otherwise they just kill their opponent regardless of their hand-size.

[@theduelist6033]

@@erbinha_1234 But won't master duel without max c then make the ftks that do special summon more viable. The exodia and nurse burn ftk i have gone against in master duel and i dont think they are a good investment in the long run that why i wont build them.

[@Miyaoko_]

FTKs usually lose to 1 ash anyway

[@theduelist6033]

@@Miyaoko_ Thats if you draw it and max c creates the possibility of drawing it. Also isn't ash at a high playrate cause of max c. If max c does get banned less people will run ash in favour to add more extenders or engine. Thus less ash in the format thus more Viable Ftk decks.

[@Miyaoko_]

@@theduelist6033 and what FTKs (that are possible) do you think will be viable. Gem-Knight? Pendulum Magician? Both decks aren’t tiered and can already FTK right now. Not to mention, the cannon solders are already banned in master duel.

[@tattletalestrengler8946]

Oh, just admit it you are really hate evenly match, because how balance that Battle Trap, and you are hit by the Universe combo DRnm + evenly to often 🗿🗿🤣🤣

[@ultronsigma2737]

just ban floodgate in general lol

[@FleurxKageShi]

Maxx C should atmost be at 1.

[@Ribbonzarkuraspear]

make it at one but it searchable in Spright. No it needs to go all together

[@Miyaoko_]

@@Ribbonzarkuraspearhonestly that would be fine. Spright ends on basically nothing anyway.

[@justusschiller-mo6qj]

chaos ruler should be banned and diablosis too

[@VixYW]

I would like to see how the game would be like if Maxx C was limited to 1 instead of banned. And I do play Evenly at 2, and no, it's not just because I only have 2 of it. That's just a coincidence.

[@99099]

we had maxx c at 1 in the tcg in the past. It's worse than having it at 3 as it's not worth playing specific outs for a 1 of, so it just becomes a sacky card that resolves to just win games on occasion when it really shouldn't.

[@kamenlobster]

People would still play it

[@VixYW]

@@99099 I see this argument being thrown around all the time, and yet I'm 100% sure I'd still be using 3 ash, 2 called and a crossout because it counters a lot of other BS besides Maxx C. That's exactly why I waned to see what would happen within the context of MD with my own eyes.

[@99099]

@@VixYW I agree with 3 ash in master duel because it's really generic, which is what you want when you vs a wide variety of decks, as its always useful. Called by and crossout though probably wouldn't be played as much as they are cards that offer very little going second. I mean, would you rather have a called by in your opening hand or a dark ruler no more when you go second?

[@VixYW]

@@99099 That depends if my opponent has Ash in their hand. I might no need the DRNM if I can negate the Ash, or use the Called By on the ash to bait another negate. And that's not even mentioning if my opponent has any effect in the GY in the first place. This level of flexibility is why I'll probably not stop playing those cards.

[@MrYJX559]

All I hear is pendulum players crying 😂

[@Miyaoko_]

I play kash lmao

[@franckize]

i hate maxx c, but since MD doesnt do "go second" i think it should be ATLEAST limited to one or two (one would be best) otherwise nice

[@lautarodecima7444]

Maxx C years are over everyone is tired of seeing it

[@triniiiiable]

Dude your suggestions are totally biased. I get you hate tearlaments but banning kit will kill the deck. Why should konami kill a good deck. Maxx c is a balancer card. There are way too many decks that can special summon their entire decks maxx c stops that. Flood gates are neccessary for dealing with certain decks. I think master duel is very balanced. Just because you dont like the cards does not mean it should e banned.

[@Miyaoko_]

Uhhhhh where do i start. Kitkallos ban will not kill the deck, and post-kitkallos-ban OCG proved that it can stay tier 1 without kitkallos. Maxx c was a good balancer 10 years ago, but nowadays it skips a turn. Creating non-games. Floodgates can be necessary, that I can contemplate with.

[@user-pv8ob3pp2z]

Yes, kitkallos should always be legal because Tear should be the best deck of the lifespan of MD, nice game Konami

[@Tokumastu1]

I'd say ban Diablosis right now given that we're already seeing zone lock combos. The deck will still be strong once the second wave of support arrives as we've sadly seen in recent times. Seriously fuck this deck. One last card to ban would be Eradicator Epidemic Virus. Labrynth can easily set it from deck and the card might as well be a free win button when it resolves. Also Labrynth is still strong even without it.
