As you should all know, we have a mid format ban list change.
From Shriek:
BANNED: Dimension Fusion
LIMITED: RftDD
SEMI: Allure
What did this do?
This was aimed to stop Dark Armed Dragon but what did it really do? Force players to use innovation. DaD is still a great in-game removal weapon. A deck structured for this can potentially be just as powerful. The return was just easier to use and quicker to win with.
Our format has really just lost some speed, and now with the new light lords we may still encounter a simmular problems of one supreme arch-type.
Pros and Cons
+The format is slowed down.
+No more DMoC RFG abuse
+Makes it slightly more skill orientated
-The issue of DaD is still their
-Judgement dragon can be just as dad
-We could have had some better card choices
Card choices?
In my opinion, Allure did not need to be cut. Actually, he is just support. Other Draw cards like D-Draw have earned their place above it. D-Draw gve great speed in more than one format, much more than Allure has done.
Power cards like DaD, DMoC and other Dark Monsters are still at the full amount. The other dark support is hard to get, while the return cards were more obtainable making room for fun decks.
Damage control
This is not a big deal. I dont like the changes but I do thing return had to be addressed and this did it. With these cards out of the way I am interested in these possibilities:
Escape From the Different Dimension
DMoC Loop
DDR Return
Those cards and plays can be just as powerful as DaD return. Only time will tell how this will play out.
