| Apr 2, 2018 at 17:00 | comment | added | BCLC | @DarkCygnus Ah thanks. Perhaps I was asking the wrong question. OP says 'It's the best way to keep OP decks like Pendulum Magicians in check.' --> And I think it's doing just that in the OCG. Any suggestion on right question/s to ask? I'm sleepy now. Might have a better question next time. | |
| Apr 2, 2018 at 16:42 | comment | added | DarkCygnus | @BCLC well TCG and OCG both have their lists each. Unless OP says something about OCG it is safe to assume it's TCG... and also, because its Maxx C we're talking about we can conclude it is TCG indeed... OCG is only playable is, well, you live in Japan or happen to have such cards, in the rest of the world the TCG is the one sold, discussed,played, etc. :) | |

| Feb 21, 2018 at 20:54 | comment | added | DarkCygnus | @Therationalduelist maybe it's so, but surely there are other internal reasons for banning it. The fact that one card has one or several counter cards does not mean that it should be restricted or not. The main things to consider when banning cards are if it's being abused, if it has potential of being abused, or when Trollnami prints some OP card. To be honest, Gravekeepers are good (pretty stable deck, with several locks), but not the kind of deck many competitive players use now. With the advent of many cards that can summon faster, Maxx C became more powerful than "tolerated", thus the ban | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 20:43 | comment | added | The rational duelist | Plus if it goes against decks that are centered around normal or tribute summoning like Gravekeepers or Monarchs then it's effect is 99% useless cause you won't get much from those decks. Also, If someone went against my protector of the sanctuary, it won't work since Protector of the Sanctuary forbids the opponent from drawing outside the draw phase. I can think of lots of ways to easily shut down Maxx "C". | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 20:35 | comment | added | The rational duelist | Well like I said there are other ways to stop it. Different Dimension Ground, Tri-gate Wizard, Solemn Strike (That wouldn't ruin a strategy, most archetypes I've seen have at least one in their deck), Debunk, Protector of the Sanctuary, Majesty's Fiend, Droll & Lock Bird, I could go on. Of course it presents you with a choice, but as you pointed out, if you don't draw it early in the game, it's not gonna help much if your opponent already has their field set. So since that's the case, I only see reason to limit it, not ban. Especially since it's more about speed now than power in yugioh. | |
