(Potentially) Unpopular Banlist Opinions
Cards that I think should be unbanned or I'm not sure should be banned. Keep in mind that I've been out of the metagame for a while. But let me know your thoughts and your unpopular banlist opinions! It could be something you think should be banned too.
Agido the ancient sentinel
Archnemeses protos
kelbek the ancient vanguard
mathmech circular
These all seem like the sort of bs bans that konami does just to hit a particular deck. continuing:
Extra deck
Thunder dragon colossus: should have never been banned in the first place
Crystron Halqifibrax: A very powerful card, no doubt. I played when it was released. I thought it was fun to use because it made everything powerful. It helps synchro as well. I'm not of the mindset that just because a card is powerful or a deck is good that it deserves to be banned. That's some crybaby shit. Although, the problem with halq is that it turns a lot of decks into the same strategy. That's the biggest problem against it. But on the other hand, why do they print cards if we're not supposed to buy them and use them?
Isolde: is it really so bad? Warrior decks love it, but you need a bunch of equip spells for it. I'm open on this one. I lean toward it should have stayed.
knightmare goblin: not super powerful, is probably fine to come back.
prank kids meow meow mu: I read the effect and I was like "really, that's it?" I get that it's a link one, but still.
predaplant verte anaconda: never should have been banned. it's the best piece of fusion support the game has ever seen.
spright elf: can someone enlighten me on this one? Is the problem that it's a quick effect and that people were using to lock their opponent on their turn?
superheavy scarecrow: another bs ban. the only thing crazy is that it's link one.
chaos ruler, the chaotic magical dragon: I could go either way on because it sends the rest to grave. Tbh because of that I probably lean slightly more toward ban.
MX saber invoker: is definitely fine at 1 copy.
zenmaity: could have come back a while ago. This card is going to become the next tribe infecting virus lol.
zoodiac drident: they can never figure out if they want this card banned or not. Same as zoodiac barrage. This card isn't even that crazy. it should come back. it doesn't even negate anything.
spells
Chicken game: should be at 3. if you don't like it you can literally just destroy it with it's own effect.
Cold wave: this would be hilarious. They should pull a snatch steal and just do it to try it out. there's a good chance that it's too powerful, but we'll see. maybe we need to slow down a bit.
Heavy storm: I've always loved this card and thought it should be legal. I'm aware of the potential shenanigans with it but I still think the good outweighs the bad. The shenanigans aren't too crazy anyway.
metamorphosis: I think it would be really cool to see this card come back. It's an unsearchable spell card so not too crazy on that front. I think 3 copies would be really fun. starting with 1 is good though.
Zoodiac barrage: see drident
Traps
Return from the different dimension: A very cool, old, and strong card. it would be absolutely fine at one and probably at 3. being a trap card it's just way too slow to be a problem, and it's pretty much worthless going second.
EDIT: forgot to mention cyber stein
EDIT 2: after consideration and discussion with those who decided to engage in good faith, I changed my mind on protos, agido, kelbek, isolde, and chaos ruler.
