power of the guardians is too good.

[kingjames488]

gaining 500/500 each attack and being able to just remove counters to stay alive?
for it's rarity and not being limited?

this card is crazy. pretty much every deck seems to be running it...

[EXO]

The card is only good in low ranks, or against AI.
Above platinum no one uses that card.

[keineschattenparker]

It's a pretty well known new player trap.
Any form of spell/trap-removal deals with it.
It only protects from destruction, so any effect that banishes, returns to hand, sends to GY etc. still works, and nowadays pretty much every decent deck has something like that.
Cards like Triamid Kingolem or Galloping Gaia stop it from activating the counter placing effect, so that eventually takes care of it as well.
The card needs a counter to protect the monster, so you can still destroy it before it attacks.

oh cmon, only played at lower ranks or against AI...

sure you can counter it, but it's got a lot of power for it's rarity.

Then show us where it's placed in the Top 50 cards used in PvP Popularity Ranking

Rarity is kind of meant to represent overall power. Although it's definitely not true all the time. But either way, it's very powerful *for an equip spell*. And equip spells are inherently awful. I think it should be R or maybe SR, but it wouldn't change much tbh

implying that if a card isn't in the top 50 isn't not a good card? out of how many thousand cards in this game? seems a little silly no?

You said for it's rarity it's powerful, you even said every deck seems to be running it. If it was actually power and every deck is running it then you can prove that by going to Popularity Ranking, oh wait you can't cause it's nowhere on there. Even Book of Moon that still exclusive to selection boxes is at #5. The card isn't powerful it's useful against AI and low ranks, against actual players you don't see it used and every deck has a built in counter to it without even acknowledging it

you could also cut your sarcastic nonsense and discuss things in a reasonable manner... but oh wait I guess you can't.

thanks for your input.

Don't talk about sarcasm bro until you learn a bit of irony, or PotG cause you clearly don't understand it either

[Goshko]

Why should they limit this card?
We have dozens of options of dealing with this card. POTG is great for auto duel, no doubt, but in PVP pretty much no relevant deck has ever ran it to meta success.

We have results of KC cups, DLM tournaments and the KC GT. In the 2 years that this card has been in duel links it has not seen any meta success outside of Red-Eyes Slash Dragon Turbo.

Also rarity should not be a factor for a card to be limited if it isn't a problem. Konami hits low rarity cards because there is the least backlash, but they almost never hit cards unless they are either meta relevant or are used in degenerate/unfun strategies.

ok, lets break this down.

"pretty much every deck seems to be running this" is an opinionated statement based on observations.

"show me where it is in the top 50. oh wait you cant!!" is just not productive.

again, thanks for your input but respectfully no.

Yeah, but Axe Raider is an UR as well. Sometimes rarities are just really bad calls from Konami. Power of the guardians, while powerful on its own, even as a R card; has quite weaknesses. At this point there's plenty of cards and effects that allow to get rid of wether by nuking the board or targeting. And the best one: not disposing it, using it on your favor.

You can actually play around it, no memes.

Axe Raider was a UR comparitively for when it came out.

Lol an opinionated statement based on observations, so basically you refuse to admit your wrong and therefor want an excuse out. Nobody is using the card but low ranks which you seem to just prove you are, so again learn what PotG is and stop saying "it's strong"

[SirKibble64]

I call that card the noob card since I only see it in lower ranks, everyone has mst, cosmic, or just some other way of dealing with it.

When that card came out I thought it was op as well but it can easily get destroyed by anything really.
