So, breaker's unlimited, so is fissure. I haven't seen an unlimited one for one monster removal card since I've started playing. Lightsworns were struck a bit, BW's stay strong with Gale only being limited and bringing him back from grave is very easy...
Monarchs on the other hand aren't so bad now with Breaker unlimited for S/T removal. A new deck has been revived, Twilight Stun. Now with Chaos Sorcerer semi-limited. And since Mezuki is semi-limited Zombies are back into action.
Synchro Cat was struck incredibly, they should call this ban list:" The Destruction of Cats". And, they did something I won't forgive them for, they limited my Cold Wave... they'll pay somehow.
Wow, I think this is the first time Solemn is limited? Well guys, get ready to see more PWWB, Dark Bribes, BTH, Royal Opression, and lots of those forgotten traps now that Solemn is limited.
Well, Call of the Haunted is limited in place of Monster Reborn, well, it's going to be hard to revive monsters now with Call of the Haunted since it's a continious trap, that can't be used with Giant Trunade since the monster would be destroyed, the monster needs to be summoned in Attack-position, whenever it's removed from the field, the monster is destroyed... and if destroyed by MST, for example, obviously it can't be chained >.>
Summoner Monk's limiting was excpeted, so was DSF's banning, I excpect a new version of DSF, with a different name, to be released with an editted effect, 'once per turn', and 'except this card', maybe.
Well guys, Lightsworns and Blackwings are gonna rule now, more than before, but the anti - meta is Stun now, with 2 Chaos Sorcerers. (I hope your happy Techo, haha, Stun followed you to 1.19)
Good luck guys, it's not going to be so hard to get used to it though since the meta hasn't changed a lot.
