Meta slaves deserved to taste the banlist since it's their own fault that some cards and skills became overused. I will never complain about banlist since I only build and play decks that is good but not popular since people with average brain won't play those decks. For example : Triamid and Flower Cardian
Triamids and cardians are for f2p poor guys no brain is required to play them.. most people will play the best decks so u see darklords/neos more than those
Flower cardian is actually one of the most brain dead decks out there there no complex plays at all just play the hand you’re given until the steam runs out
Cardian is KOG worthy deck, able to defeat almost any deck except Amano Stun, but very few people can reach KOG with it because many people don't use Peony and Boardefly effectively. Triamid is much more popular than Cardian but still it needs brain compared to dumping Bacon Saver to summon Brave Neos or using Pot of Greed then set Parshath trap
Honestly, Cardians are only big brain when you start off because its learning curve starts pretty steep. Once you know how to use it, its nearly brain dead.
I really don't like using it because I brick so hard within the first couple turns wayyy too much.
When everything goes right, though, it becomes one of the most devastating decks to use.
