This means that both players could effectively only have 6000 life points to work with and life points are more a resource. Confiscation and Delinquent Duo are both staples that each cost 1000 life points.
Rush Recklessly, Axe of Despair, Messenger of Peace, Megamorph and Giant Trunade were also notable, but the other spells in this set have them outclassed. It also had counters: MST was at 3 and there was Heavy Storm too. Searchers and flip effects were the best monsters there weren’t really any high ATK monsters with powerful ATK to steal yet. While a powerful card for gaining field control, it wasn’t overpowered at the time: context matters. If your opponent draw one of them early on and you don’t, they have an unfair advantage of knowing your hand.
However, it is also true that these cards are not fun to play against. But with these two cards, it’s now possible to get rid of them before they’re even in play. Once on the field, they were difficult to counter. Witch, Sangan and Magician of Faith were perhaps a bit too strong in the Metal Raiders meta. Prior to Sinister Serpent, it didn’t really have any ways to play around it.Ĭonfiscation and The Forceful Sentry. However, this card can be overly punishing, grants card advantage with no skill required and was a bit too random. With the theme of hand advantage, Konami was inclined to make a card that’s the reverse of Pot of Greed. This is also another out to Robbin Goblin, which may have been too abusable.ĭelinquent Duo. While Heavy Storm was needed as an out to many annoying spells/traps out there, MST is a more balanced and consistent 1-for-1 option. There weren’t graveyard effects or Special Summon from graveyard effects and Monster Reborn was the only recovery card. While one of the most overpowered banned cards in the game by today’s standards, it wasn’t as abusable. Few to no viable traps: even Spellbinding Circle was mediocre at best.
Overall, how monsters interact with each other in this format are still similar to Medal Raiders. The elemental battle recruiters like Giant Rat and Mother Grizzly are introduced but these attributes don’t have any worthwhile monsters to search out (apart from maybe Mystic Tomato to search out Witch or Sangan). Not a lot of great monsters aside from Cyber Jar. While this set doesn’t totally revolutionize the meta, it does add power creep. This set is known for introducing many of the Spell staples. The set was later renamed to Spell Ruler after Magic the Gathering sued Yugioh.
