Ban Skill Drain, not limit it.

[Mask]

Give us a chance to win against that infectious dum blue-eyes players.

From all cards of Blue eyes this is a problem not the 1 negate on every turn for every card you draw with drill beam, or the searchable effect veiller etc etc

Can Crimson Dragon work under Skill Drain?

Skill Drain has been a menace for 10+ years. Kill it. Let Primite have its time.

Veiler isn't even going to be good soon anyways. They r literally power creeping her and Imperm out of the game. This is on top of the fact that they are situational at best in the current meta. Droll and are Ash are both better imo. Though some decks can play through Droll.

Ah yes, ban Stun cards so your combo deck can perform better. The limit on Solemn Judgement was not enough for you.

[Soji]

i agree, remove the crutch

Blue-Eyes is a mid or combo deck(depending on who u ask). It used to be a pure Combo wombo deck, but the new support has made it feel and play alot more like a Mid Range deck.

Either way its NEITHER a Control nor Stall/Stun deck. The only problem card(s) in it have Primite in their name. Debate-ably anyways.

2 Examples of Stun decks not even running it.

[Prokaizer]

Skill Drain is considered a "stun" card. Because some random person throwed Skill Drain in his Blue Eyes deck, that doesn't mean Skill Drain should be banned. It's already at 1. Malefic decks used that card for ages, i didn't see anyone complain about it.

[Tunnel Sharks Rule!!!]

They should just ban it and grab some popcorn as the meltdown over it ensues

Never heard of Eldlich, or Qliphort, or Snake-Eyes huh? The Fire King build can't really run it since it counters them, but the pure build could; if it wasn't virtually unplayable anyway.

Also feel free to chime in with other decks that ran it that I didn't name. That damn thing shows up in all sorts of places to annoy what seems like every level and format of both competitive and casual play.

Funny is before summon limit got banned someone in a tournement setting went full Snake Eye combo. Then flipped Summon limit and won.

And what skill drain goes for i still see some Blue Eyes players that use it. Only because Blue Eyes is just filled with big beat stick monsters you would have no chance to beat over. But then again A single feather duster would destroy that board if he dont have Drillbeam to protect True Light.

Then ban every card that negate summons because turn 1 player can flip it on turn 2. These arguments you guys making are plain stupid. Max C does the same thing, literally every single trap in the game can be flipped up on turn 2 after setting up a board, so let's ban them all shall we?

Edit : instead of putting 20+ handtraps in your deck, how about you put some backrow removals if you are going to complain about a non searchable card.

I'M 100% FOR THIS. YES PLEASE I'M BEGGING.

Also Harpie's Duster and Heavy Storm as well as Lightning Storm ALL see high levels of play. As in ALOT of decks run them. Cosmic and MST(cause its a Rare) see some play, but those are completely unsearchable and too frequently don't do enough.

Skill drain? you mean that Trap Card that negates effects of monsters that I destroy via stamping destruction? Yeah nah, ban that f*cker. It's more of a threat to other Architypes than it is to Blue-eyes (which uses brute force more often than not)

[HeraldOfOpera]

Honestly, Skill Drain is one of the few floodgate continuous traps to actually inhibit the user in a way that matters. You can't flip it on top of a negate board because it'll turn off your negates.

That said...

People have been arguing for this forever. It is in fact the same people who are arguing against most floodgates, because Maxx "C" is a floodgate in practice.

On the other hand...

They do seem to be making more combo decks that depend heavily on things that would get countered by this. Tenpai lives or dies by its field spell. Blue-Eyes nukes its own board if you blow up True Light, and so on.

If i gotta play against yubel, tenpai, tearlearments, Labrynth, that all tell me i cant play the damn game or force me to share my turn, yall can deal with the one card that evens the playing field. Stop depending on meta and get more creative. Skill issue more like it
