Master Duel: Forbidden/Limited WISH List
FORBIDDEN
- Artifact Scythe, Secret Village of the Spellcasters
- The town's newest floodgate darlings. This is probably a shot in the dark but with the recent bans of Iblee and Jowgen, Konami would probably take notice of the uptick of usage of these two cards. Assuming it gets REALLY popular with people's builds. The same goes for any floodgate that goes up in usage rate during the weekend.
- Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon
- The most obvious target to hit for fire decks that use the Sinful Spoils/Snake-Eyes engine. I hope they don't go the TCG route of banning Original Sinful Spoils - Snake Eye and kill other fire decks. If not this or if not only this, Diabellstar may be Limited.
- Trident Dragion
- There's two ways to hit Tenpai. Lower their OTK potential with Extra Deck hits or Main Deck consistency hits. Banning Trident Dragion severely lowers their OTK potential by about half. From 36k to 19k. Manageable right? whistles
- Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal
- Fiendsmith. January maybe? February?
- Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights
- Most obvious hit for the Noble Knights pile if Konami wants to remove Charles from the highest Win-rate( when summoned ) list. Maybe it will happen. Maybe not.
- Pot of Extravagance
- A really powerful card for decks that do not care much for their extra deck. Basically like that one green card. yep
- That Grass Looks Greener
- Not THAT green card but certainly more powerful in some circumstances. The UR count of these pile decks are very high so they might not ban this for the easy cash grab. Will be keeping an eye if this gets touched at all.
LIMITED
- Glow-Up Bulb
- OCG have this card at 3 since June this year. I can see MD being experimental with it at 1.
- Mathmech Circular
- This might not happen now but it's bound to happen sooner or later. TCG has it banned and OCG has it at 1.
- Fire King High Avatar Kirin
- Pretty good hit for Fire King. They will almost always try to get it back with Sunlight Wolf so they can play on your turn. Banishing this card will definitely hamper your opponent's plays.
- Phantom of Yubel
- Everyone can see this hit from a mile(kilometer) away. Also with Fiendsmith just around the corner (as one of the final two archetypes left in Infinite Forbidden), Yubel deserves this hit to lower their ceiling.
- Sangenpai Bident Dragion
- Everyone will tell you: "Tenpai players play it at one anyways. It's always the second Bident that gets you." Sometimes it does matter. Solemn cards, Cosmic Blazar, Azurune, those decks that run these cards can get rid of this card with no way of getting it back unless they run cards like Pot of Avarice or some other techs.
- Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings
- I don't remember if ever they hit a card on an Archetype that's still on the shop but is not a new card. Maybe it will happen. Maybe they add Dark Strings too.
- Bonfire
- Some deserved consistency hits to fire(pyro) decks. It is a HOPT but will be in line to some of the most generic searchers in the game.
- Opening of the Spirit Gates
- This or Dark Beckoning Beast will probably get hit to lower Yubel's starters and grind game.
- Pre-Preparation of Rites, Nadir Servant
- I don't how would they hit Voiceless Voice. Everyone will tell you. "It's just a skill issue. Imagine losing to Voiceless Voice". This is a very powerful "Mid range" deck. Doesn't lose to everyone's favorite card Maxx C. Very compact(expensive) engine. Has incredible grind game. Short turns. Very Powerful interruptions. Their End board can be pretty nuts and can definitely do some of it on your turn too. Pre-prep, Nadir Servant, and Pot of E can help reduce their consistency. Maybe they hit barrier too.
- Sangen Summoning
- This should happen. This will happen. Unless....?
- Tearlaments Scream
- Next best target for Trivikarma. Putting it to 1 will lessen the chances of them opening their best Two-card combo with Reinoheart.
- Anti-Spell Fragrance
- I think almost everyone can agree to this. Maybe banned even. I could definitely see this card get put to 1.
- Rainbow Bridge of Salvation
- A hit for graveyard piles. Also two fewer copies of "Terraforming" for powerful field spells.
SEMI-LIMITED
- Nimble Beaver, Swap Frog
- These two cards going from 1 to 2 will help reduce the bricks to run them in your deck. Doesn't completely make Sprights full power but definitely better than Blue and Jet to 3.
- Tenpai Dragon Chundra, Sangen Kaimen
- The Main Deck hits to Tenpai. Purrely has history of getting included on the banlist right after they're gone in the shop and a bigger hit a month after that because of Ghostrick Purrely. This, and the addition of Sangen Summoning, is very light and might have bigger hits depending on their performance on the 2nd Stage of the Duelist Cup this weekend.
- White Dragon Wyverbuster
- D-Link can have their white guy back. At least to 2.
- Runick Fountain
- Runick on one hand is deserved at 1 for the Runick Stun Variant. On the other hand, S:P Little Knight is just too powerful of a card for the other Variants such as Live Twin, Spright, Naturia, Bystial, White Forest, etc. as not all of them can run Psy-Framelord Omega and you still won't get it back til the next Standby Phase while the opponent can still banish it again on their turn.
- Big Welcome Labrynth
- With the rise of Math Lab players, I can see them putting Big Welcome to 2.
UNLIMITED
- Purrely, Purrelyly
- They can get their two cats back to 3 but I can see if they stay at 2. Ghostrick Purrely was a menace and I understand if they want to keep them as it is at the moment.
- Labrynth Stovie Torbie, Labrynth Chandraglier
- If they put Big Welcome to 2, I can see these guys coming back to help Labrynth's consistency.
- Performage Plushfire
- Errata'd. Bound to come back to Master Duel.
- Time Seal
- Not very good. Definitely not deserved to get banned. Both paper formats have it unbanned already.
- Raigeki
- It might not happen now but it should be on the Anniversary. Perfect way to sell the Alt-Art Raigeki to those interested.
- Others
- I don't know what they do. Nothing to see here. Should be unbanned for sure.
HONORABLE MENTION
- Kali Yuga
- I've seen it once or twice. Would be nice if it does get banned for sure.
- Centur-Ion, Chimera
- I don't know if they would hit these two decks and others that aren't mentioned. Maybe they should.
At the end of the day, it's up to Konami how to handle their game but would be nice if some if not all of these decks are addressed by the end of the year.
