It still needs a ban, it continues to be used with Mistake Surgery everywhere. Still can't believe they had the nerve to add a second and even a third copy of that 🔥 as completely f2p cards. It predates the very decks of Yusei and Yuya they released and want good people and new players to use.
No, I’m not a noob. It’s true it becomes a big beater so easily and OTKs with spikeshield if normal set. It can OTK even without surgery with two or three spikes.
It doesn't exist to beat them. It stands by itself because there's a broken card that makes every single monster a warrior. So it's a 3350 beater against everything. And calling me a noob won't change that.
Don't tell me to test something broken. It doesn't need to get KoG to be broken. Stall burn is continuing to get KoG as documented, so all of their strategies continue to be worth hating against.
But they’re not gonna always have that DNA surgery on hand, and there aren’t really any easy or efficient ways to search it. Meanwhile the opponent is ready 🔥 you on turn 2.
They won’t be able to against so much stall. That’s why decks like this are so hard to beat. It’s not just 1 stall trap, it’s 30 million floodgates and Canadias that make it impossible to focus on Surgery and Cipher. There are only so many removal effects.
Cipher also has to deal with spot removal. Good luck protecting a monster with no inherent protection. Before you counter with power of the guardians I have two words, karma cut.
I agree that's the best way to beat Cipher himself, but it's so much pressure drawing those cards. He avoids floodgate by being facedown and flipping up upon my attack. Then it's a big beater hard to stall against unless he stupidly just stays in defense, scared of my backrow.
"That’s why decks like this are so hard to beat. It’s not just 1 stall trap, it’s 30 million floodgates and Canadias that make it impossible to focus on Surgery and Cipher."
.....That's more those stall Trap cards being OP, not this card being OP. In that case the issue that should be hit are the Trap cards. This card alone is meh without those Trap cards, so this card is not the issue.
This card is easier to hit than multiple trap cards. It’s too hard to imagine them hitting a very large amount of cards, there are too many options for stall. This card enables the play style too well, it stands out on how much damage it does.
