The disrespect Konami has towards unchained is insane. The limited red dog when it didn’t need to happen and now that the deck at full power would be ok at best, they just continue to give it the middle finger. I just wish that Konami wouldn’t continue to hit decks that are engine focused in their interaction because as we have seen recently, hand trap decks are awful to play and play against. Just feels like there isn’t enough skill expression and is coin flip on who goes first and coin flip on if you can combo/stop your opponent’s combo instead of interaction.

Still a terrible format for Lab but the omni-negates of choice disappearing is massive.

HERO doesn’t lose lose to nibiru often times but droll hurts HEROs quite a lot. I think the 3rd malicious does matter because you basically get an extra body that can help make a dark law or for plasma which is actually pretty important in the standard combo line. However, the deck will still be positioned about the same because the same issues with the deck are still the case.

[@gonzamm6138]

As a hero player. I agree that the deck is basically unchanged with a 3rd mali. But when it comes to Nib we can play around better not but does depend on when someone nibs. For the most part we can usually play around nib since we have so many extenders

[@babrad]

The extra body allows the typical combo to end on Plasma/Angel along DPE DarkLaw Neos Wingman without needing AHL opening. But this is super greedy anyway. The big buff is playing through Nib much better, as well as allowing you to stack your deck with Denier and then use Liquid since there was only 1 body missing for that combo to allow you to "cheat a search" for Plasma. Additionally HERO traditionally plays very well into removal but can struggle with negates which also remove like Baronne.

[@samdeoliveira6272]

Man so 3rd Malicious is INSANE in Hero. Josh talk to more Hero players. Happy to open some dialogue here.

[@YourKingSkeletor]

The decks I play and how they feel: Darkworld: insant win if they don't draw Droll/Shifter and I don't brick (rare). But now Colossus and Protos are problems to deal with. Ignisters: went from 16 interruptions back to tower turbo without Circular but nothing changes this list. Lightsworn: we lost Baronne/Savage but we gained an extra Mali. We didn't need the omnis too often either and some variants can slap out Crystal Wing easy anyways. So might actually be better but hard to say. Dinomorphia: lost some floodgates (that I side decked) but with less omni negates going second is easier so kinda got buffed. Zombies: died even more through indirect hits. We need new support that isn't just big beatsticks. Raidraptor: Baronne and Savage ban made my handtraps and going second easier. Much better.

I think ABC and Spright(with Nimble package) don't really get enough recognition. They are both ridiculously good. Spright is the better of the 2 though because Spright is very consistent. I almost want to call it a meta sleeper it can easily remove 3 monsters from your opponents field with Masquerena into S:P, 3,200 attack Gigantic Spright, and Spright Smashers and/or the trap card. They can also Otk with Mosquito and they have the most unfair aspects of the best decks in the game consistent multi-negations. ABCs only problem is they don't have enough if any 1 card starters. Theoretically you could turn Clock Work Night into a starter with 3 Foolish Burial Goods and with some modifications you could probably make the deck able to summon Chimera Tech. But I don't think thats enough because then thats 6 slots for non-engine already taken up. Even if I get interrupted I end on 5+ interruptions consistently.

@@bakedbeyondbelief321 I would argue Yubel is a loser in this banlist. The Colossus combo is win more already, but facing it is super annoying because you cant activate Pain to pop, Throne only summons a Yubel to the field while the best part of the deck (Sacred Beast engine) is completely unusable. Gates can't even be placed on the field. Then we have Protos that completely ruined the going second approach. Since Yubel can trade really well into removal, I experimented with Metaltronios and Blink Out and had an overwhelming synchro snake matchup in my favor, but with the current list I can't risk getting FTKed by Protos calling DARK so I have to give up the power spell approach and play handtraps. I'm not talking about taking it to locals, but a bigger event where variance can ruin your early rounds.

But in a BO3, siding against them is the easiest thing ever, evenly matched, feather duster, cosmic cyclone, lightning storm, twin twisters, hell even MST will win you the game. And labyrinth is one of those decks that loses badly to ash (à la branded fusion) and has a don't play the game card in royal decree. Labyrinth is basically like mystic mine, it is a shitty ass deck to be against and frustrating as hell if it catches you off guard, but if it bcmes playable at any time and players respect its precense, it is basically a draw the out situation where you will win if u draw one of your blowouts.

@@centurion2396 I wish these were Labrynth's issues. With Rollback, Duster and Storm can be hard punished. Evenly post-side where EEV is also sided in just makes me call spells during BP and leave a Daruma set while banishing Arianna with Lady safely in hand. Cosmic is indeed good but fair since it trades 1 card for another and unless you catch it before Clock is used it only hurts the grind. Royal Decree and Jinzo are useless while Big-W exists. Labrynth is a very healthy deck design, promoting interaction and being really well made for making going first/second less impactful. The only issue it has are some degenerate lingering floodgates that should have been addressed long ago in the banlist. IMO Dbarrier > DDG >>>>>> EEV Having a weakness to Ash Belle and SP are all good countermeasures so it won't ever be the undisputed best deck. But still it doesn't lose badly to Ash if you just play Uchained. The technical plays it has will always make the better player win, if you get enough experience playing/facing it you can observe the difference between a good and a bad pilot are night and day. Meanwhile performing a typical snake combo is trivial despite also being skill involved in playing around stuff. Midrange decks by design punish over-extension and or mis-sequenced plays.

Tenpai defo wont. Who needs that bs, when you can just win quicker.

[@NewtBannner]

@@mulldrifterz6469 so you’re going to tell me that going first, Tenpai couldn’t build a better board with Elpy

[@TroyTheTCGTrustee]

Sprites are thunder monsters so they can utilize Colossus without messing up their engine

[@ficchidylan7079]

Already put together, live twin Spright is a monster with colossus on board too

[@babrad]

How? Hard opening Corridor?

[@e-tan3911]

Spright monsters do not activate to special summon from hand, so Colossus's alternate summon condition isn't turned on by their effects.

[@LowClassKluwn]

How are you summoning Colossus buddy. You cheating?

[@ficchidylan7079]

@@LowClassKluwn apparently I am, just thought of it as I was watching this video, tried it out when the sprights were special summoned, but like he said it’s not activating so it can’t happen, guess I’ll just add 3 thunder dragons to the deck, activate one in hand search , then tribute any Spright and boom same result colossus on board

[@versutus2699]

genuine question: does electrumite still deserve to be banned? its the only thing thats not free from the TOSS format killer banlist since colossus is now free

[@acech1089]

Kashtira defo is in the losers bracket they lost Barrone, summon limit and antispell all of which you'd go into in game 2 or 3 if you went first to play around board breakers

[@gianmarcodelluomo639]

I was builiding your eartboumd runick, after this banlist is totally fucked up? Any new tip for a runick deck

[@gianmarcodelluomo639]

Without baronne

[@ehschargers6510]

Ruinick Fur Hire Spright or Just Ruinick Spright. Spright is sitying good in this format and can even use colossus

[@crimsecretxd-ex9fb]

Cupid into corridor is good

[@kyn..]

runick orcust is a very fun but difficult deck. you can play bystials in it to make dispater and the deck grinds really well

[@ficchidylan7079]

Pro tip, don’t 😂

[@notliberty8413]

No raidraptor mention :(

[@marcelmichels2925]

I think my localss runs with Marincess have just gotten worse because now nib is a thing and I can't consistently put toad up in time... I wish they would've freed my boy red dog...

[@cashcloakburmy]

I don’t think Dragon Link is 100% dead, but I do think it’s going to change drastically. Losing its omnis means that it’s better to play the deck as a grindy midrange deck that makes Seals every turn and draws cards with Regained.

[@Stefxcrazy]

I dont have a sound for some reason xD
