Maybe in the vacuum of Duel Links introducing it early was a huge mistake, but this doesn't scratch the surface of Konami's incompetence in the full game.
konami's biggest mistake is making this 🔥 game.
But then again it's brilliant too. Rehashing old cards in an new format and reselling them back to the players.
Canadia doesn't really stop Pendulums considering you can't flip down the Scales.
Synchro and Xyz are the ones most affected because the opponent can just flip the Tuner or the second same-Level monster the moment you summon it, preventing you from Synchro/Xyz Summoning.
