Spright & Runick just need to be banned at this point.

[Exvalcore]

Both are BS decks.

[Exvalcore]

Just F this game, seriously nothing but floodgates & sprights in gold rank I'm literally never going plat if this remains as is.

[aben WHY (VC Off)]

Evenly Matched should help. Spright have to much gas to be stop with hand trap and they don't always end on carrot. "End of battle phase" is a sentence that makes floodgates players blood boil

[Arkew Von Greffer]

for spright yeah they have large option of mix i stopped count, Splight runiks, splight sacred beats, spright live twins, spright frogs.

[Exvalcore]

They end on Runick/Artifact Lock/Spright Spell/Monster Effect Negates. & Other BS.

Yea the twins two & toads. I fking hate floodgates & negates. I'm tired of dueling.

[Akemua]

I stopped playing for awhile and saved up gems for Tearlaments cancer.

Runick is toxic. Spright is too consistent, but fun at least imo.

[Merilirem]

These decks aren't even that strong. The way you talk its as if they are unbeatable. They are a bit better than everything else is all.

[Lazer]

but but floodgates are the problem I am always told

The problem is not being unbeatable, i can beat spright with Aromages, the problem is they are far too consistent and have far to much capability that requires too much to counter.
If i have to hope to open a starter + full field negate + called by + ash blossom, just to have even a remote chance at winning it's just obnoxious.
At that point i rather just play runick stun because then i don't need to beg fortuna for a perfect hand to be able to deal with it.

I find that Runick can be beaten by OTK decks that summon a bunch of monsters and play through Runick's control, still delivering a fatal blow right away. Or Anti-Spell Fragrance, or destroying Fountain twice.

And Spright is hampered hard by cards that tribute your opponent's monsters like Sphere of Ra.
It seems like Spright players like to throw down their entire hand, without taking any precautions against a possible chicken orb.

Because the chicken orb is a UR that is virtually never played, i have yet to meet a single person running it.

There's a much better argument hidden in this one: that they're about to release something even worse.

I'm using a copy the Sphere Ra right now in my spicy deck and it's won me a few games already. Just crafted the second one.

[Exvalcore]

I'm running a Branded/Despia Deck, which no extenders(Because Fusion Lags Support Minions, vs XYZ, & Links are nothing but minions summoning combo'd into bosses/locks/negates) if you block the monster summon to draw into fusion, & I don't already have one in hand then I literally can't play unless I drew Super Poly which is the only way I've been able to break their board & most of the time not even that is enough when they have I:P on field or setup/activate Artifact which blocks my summons but not theirs.

My One Imperm/Ash never stops them either, I could try a different handtrap to locks their grave/draw.

Honestly, Runick isn't really a problem. If you ban Runick they will just return to using Eldlich for the Floodgate engine. Then, you will complain that Eldlich needs to be banned. As far as Spright goes, I'll give you that it's really too consistent right now. Both the TCG and OCG have banned/limited components to the deck while Master Duel has Spright at full power.

All this being said, just wait till Tearlament comes out. It will probably destroy the current meta.
