KC cup banlist predictions
Skill nerfs:
Level Duplication
Given a LP restriction (Must be at 2000 lp or below) Or maybe a turn req? (Cannot be used before turn 3?)
Ultimate dragons & Alternative evolution
Given a LP req of 3k or below (Or with ultimate dragons given a LP req of 1k or below and made into a comeback skill, possible attack buff given then?)
Balance
Gives an increased chance of opening up a spell, trap, and monster in your opening hand, however, it no longer guarantees it
Onomatoplay
The card you add from the deck must now be the same as you sent (So if you put a zubababa card back in, you must take a zubababa card out) Or change the skill to only allow 1 card to be returned instead of 2(and give it a twice per duel restriction?)
Banned:
Cup of ace (Free card from NPCs? Very easy hit)
Limited:
None
Limited 2:
Twin barrel dragon (Many versions of the deck just plays 1, but that's 1 less possible semi limited card they can play)
Head judging (Somewhat decent negation card that's completely free, really needs a semi just because I hate everything about desperado)
Blackwing-Simmon the poison wind (Needs to go, blackwings have been relevant for far too long)
Glory of the noble knights (Low rarity card that is commonly played at 3, easy hit and also not required to play the deck)
Limited to 3
Karma cut (Thought about a limit to 2, realized that it should probably just be hit to 3 to force competition with cosmic cyclone
Noble Knight Medraut (Gotta hit noble knights somehow)
Cards of conscience (Konami doesn't have the balls to hit any actual blue-eyes cards so this is the next choice)
Purgatrio ( INVOKED SUCKS, ITS A WINCON, NOT AN ENGINE, NOBODY LIKES INVOKED)
Yeah, the winda point is very fair, but its an ultra rare from a relatively ignored box, konami doesn't really want to hit those kinds of cards
I completely agree with you on providence, its really good but hasn't proven itself to be a problem yet
Borz is really good, and I don't see it being hit as its the entire core of the deck, without borz noble knight is trash, and I dont see it being hit
Putting Purgatrio, Aleister, and Invocation on limited 2 means you are forced to choose which 2 to use among 3.
Either you don't run Purgatrio (which would be the best for everyone), or you run fusion sub instead of Aleister (so no searching Invocation), or you run Poly instead of Invocation (can't use opponent's monster as material, also stop Aleister's 2nd effect)
many cards supposed to be in the banlist in 2019, if shiranui can have 4 cards at limit 2 then invoker will eventually get there. some other broken decks supposed to be hit heavily if π₯ing komoney didnt waste so many banlist. komoney had history of "wasting the best timing" to limit cards. π₯ π₯ in 2019 they just simply put 1 card into the banlist when they can throw in 10.
imo invoked needs no more nerfs, it is just a barckrow ft. invoked deck now. If you hit the staples or at least karma as the op suggest that would be enough to weaken the deck a lot
Ultimate dragons? For what? This BE deck is already rubbish next to the stronger ones, if they do it it becomes obsolete. Taking a karma cut will not help either, 2 of these cards already destroy many decks
