Oh that’s a good idea, I totally forgot Cappello in my list 😂 I’ll have to test once we get the rest of the banlist

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 6h

Of course! I’m not 100% sold on that list, but it’s what I’m gonna try out. I think New Face would definitely help but I’m worried about bricking with 5 traps (and ofc super poly targets will change based on the rest of the banlist)

Locals today with Branded LADR. Please leave my yugi deck alone on the banlist, I just wanna be a nostalgia-pilled millennial.

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 6h

Yeah! I don’t think there’s a direct bridge but you draw so much with clown crew that you’re bound to draw Griffoh. MODC gives your Operatics protection, and Biancaviso is a mind shuffle target. This is what I’ve got schemed so far with the new list (that we know about rn)

Oh and the ritual spell is allegedly getting an ultimate rare reprint in the Ultimate Tournament Pack 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 6h

It’s really the slop pile that’s egregious. Like clown ladr or branded ladr are fine decks and don’t set up pseudo FTK. Hell LADR on its own sets up like 3 interactions and that isn’t much at all. Plus they’re still advertising CORI and it’s THE deck from CORI

220 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 6h

There’s like no way they hit LADR. The deck by itself is so fine, and with the Albion and Zenna hits, I think they’re just hitting cards around it.

120 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 19h

At least full Mitsu. It just gets you a part of LADR since the rituals don’t start on their own (I wish dumping Skull Archfiend got you griffoh tho omg)

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 20h

Oh and Clown Crew LADR will be 100% safe too. That’d be fun. I just wanna play LADR.

Hold up you’re onto something

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 20h

Enough time has passed, Albion can go back to 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 21h

If they hit branded again, at least DM LADR is still playable without Zenna or Quartet or anything like that.

nooooo it's my protection from Evenly Matched (it deserves to die so bad)

010 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 21h

I feel like they’re hitting Branded (and probably Striker) cause the rest of the hits are gonna leave a big power vacuum

020 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 22h

That’s real, I agree. Like if Charmers die, Protector dies, and Habakiri dies then Aerial Eater is just filler

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 22h

what's funny about the Albion hit is that I can still do Diabellze War Crimes with Dogma so my post-side going first endboard is the same lmao

120 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 22h

Aerial Eater was dumping Protector of the Sanctuary for the hand loop FTK (which, POTS should be banned too), and it was also dumping Skull Archfiend for bridging FS to Mitsu. Hopefully Haba still dies, but maybe Skull Archfiend gets to live

110 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 23h

I think I'm gonna run double Dogma and just add F&V to hand in end phase and either hold it for next turn or revive Cartesia or Ecclesia or w/e. I would really prefer to have the flexibility of having it set tho

110 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 23h

yeah I think it's more of a hit to everyone splashing F&V in their decks but it really hurts decks that have a medium sized branded package imo. If you're just on F&V, you just add a different breaker or whatever. If you're on whalbaz for engine, your ceiling takes a hit.

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 23h

Oh and the hydradrive is a pre hit to an FTK

110 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 23h

Albion ban means decks running F&V can’t replace it immediately.

210 2

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 23h

Aerial eater was part of the Protector of the Sanctuary hand rip combos. No idea why not just ban Droll, but everything goes to 1 first I guess. Albion hurts Branded and Branded engines tremendously. You have to choose between F&V or Retribution turn 1 in pure.

I don’t post politics much (I’m stubborn and set in my woke “Malatestan” anarchist ways, and do not enjoy debating online) but I do feel the need to occasionally confirm that I’m not a piece of shit

Every republican attack ad for a PA dem just makes me like them more. “They support trans kids and higher taxes!” thats some good shit, I’d vote for them twice if I could

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

Youtube ads are just like: gambling, vote republican, blue chew, and Meta AI I am not doing any of those things, man. (Sports) betting should be illegal, I want higher taxes and public services, my dick works, and I don’t think having cognitive abilities is a curse. Barking up the wrong tree.

What if they forget to stream YCS Houston

050 5

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

I think hitting Zenna and general Link Bridge Nonsense would be enough. Although I could see it getting hit before Winter Raven drops to sell the new support (like the Tinia and Portal hit before BETB)

010 1

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

Semi limits I have no idea. I really doubt Wanted or Medius get limited but like I had to pick 8. I think I got like…20/34 bans right. I’m happy with that.

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

consistently down by like a third of usual attendance.

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

Louisville was on the path of the hurricane so I can understand attendance being low, it’s a very well travelled regional. But like 70 is baaaaad, not even 100 people from the area? My CORI sneak leak was 24 people but my BETB sneak peak was 16. Apparently the competitive locals here have been

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 16/10/2026

Negotiations had to have swayed towards the TCG side of things with how attendance has been (I forget that Konami sees locals data too but it’s been bad here). Considering the first list was all bangers, I expect more of the same. Like 75%+ bangers.

We called it! There was like no way that the previous banlist was it

It's so crazy. K9 hasn't done anything since Noroi was banned, the engine is basically unplayable. He's so on it with so many things but is holding onto some beef of Ripper checking Faimena from going +1000 on the following turn.

Azorgalena @azorgalena.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

Regardless I find his thoughts interesting. I do generally agree with hitting generic negates, I just don't see them hitting like Caesar and Ripper and Ilia Silvia on this list. There's literal FTKs on the horizon and hand 'loops'. Cwing and Dragster can go ASAP and Elfnote still has 4 negates.

Josh chatters are deeply unserious people and every video that involves chat gives me a headache. In what fucking world is an emergency banlist unbanning Prank-Kids Meow-Meow-Mu??? Also Josh is STILL BEEFING WITH K9 RIPPER. She's gone man, let her go. Banning her instead of Droll is nuts.

I feel the same facing Blue Eyes. On it's own it's fine, but when crimson dragon comes out I'm just like...come ooooooon. You already have negates, this is just BM now 😭
