When you say its like that then it must be currect then I guess.

But still what the point at allowing rituals into a fusion/XYZ event when they ignore thier extra deck and only use main deck monsters.

Yeah Konami isn't very smart when it comes to banlist are they?

Rather, they aren't very smart when it comes to loaner decks.

Because the event is just a restriction on the Extra Deck. As a side note, people are complaining that rituals are legal; meanwhile, Herald and Dogmatika and been banned. Like seriously, even Dogmatika Ecclesia has been banned for some reason.

I’ll just stick to Crooked Cook. The amusement watching my opponent take 10 minutes only to summon boss monsters that are as useful as tits on a nun against the Cook is pretty damn high.

People like you make Chaos MAX look good and I hate it. But then, Lyrulisc doesn't care about Cook either, and seems like everyone's got a copy already...

Chaos Max is banned. :\

ygo is the most terribly unbalanced card game i ever played, in mtg card bans are scarce but when comes to ygo every new set get these broken unbalanced cards that are later getting banned, because konami dont play this game they dont care if they make some abomination of a card because "they can later ban it" yeah and ripoff us on gems, most despicable company, never trust them, never support them.

Because they don't ignore their Extra Deck, it's just a toolbox for potential cards to use just like any other deck or in cases like Relinquished they heavily rely on the Ritual monster and the Fusions. You can say the exact same thing for Pendulum except for some decks like Qliphort for example which restricts you from special summoning anything that isn't a Qliphort monster

This event blows, the top tier decks are essentially the same crap from ladder people already sick of.

Purrely only got Noir banned. Branded only got Albion limited. Kashtira got Mind Hacker banned and the two main monsters limited.

Evently is banned but Super Poly is somehow unlimited.

Also only about 20% of the decks on that list I faced. Did not see a single one of the others apart from what is best right now in ranked apart from birds ofc.

15 Wins, 1 lose, 11 win streak going on 12.

NO my 17 win streak right before getting the event title.

Branded Fire, 10 Turns Lose, ID:682-894-406, my second event loss.

Got an Amazoness mirror so event is good
Was given 1st turn, was Maxx C'd twice and still won. They tunnel visioned LP damage over MP2 options and threw their advantage. 0 Baby Tigers but 2 Pet Ligers in ED leaves me with questions

[Papa Shekels]

After playing through the event for a while, I can safely say that the only deck mentioned in the OP that's even remotely a problem is branded, but boy is that one a problem. And the generic staples are arguably even worse...it's bad enough they allowed the ladder package of maxx c, ash, imperm, etc. to be legal in this event, but some genius decided that super polymerization should also be allowed

[Exvalcore]

It's a fusion event, so fusion card allowed, makes sense to me, same reason Zeus is legal as an xyz boss, even tho I hate the card. Bystial & Handtraps might having been the real issue but I'm not complaining, as such called by/noble crossout & ashing max exists for a reason.

I only run one maxc/ash/called/crossout/imperm, just because you literally have to otherwise your at a huge disadvantage, but running more than 5 stables is insane, all 5 of these cards should also be limited to one, it makes no sense that you get 3 ash/maxc to play in a duel.

The only good thing about idiots running 3 ash/max/imperm is it does brick up their hands.
