If weren't for Sylvians, the list of meta decks would be very good. Not that it is impossible to defeat, as many say; it's just a very annoying deck to play against because you need very specific counter at the right time. I think semi-limiting Marshaleaf and Guardioak would be the right way for them. All other decks are balanced for me. Now just wait for Konami to launch a new op box that will unbalance everything again.
Limiting Rose Lover won't even come close to nerfing Sylvan.
Sylvan's real power is in their Komushroomo and Marshalleaf getting milled, so that they can nuke your board. Being able to SS a big beater is just a bonus, as once your board is nuked, even a low level beater works. Even Rose Lover's anti trap protection is actually irrelevant, as all your traps would be nuked already.
The only thing that will happen with limiting Rose Lover, is killing all the other Plant decks while letting Sylvan remains alive and well, the exact opposite of what everyone wanted to see.
And yes, I was the one who wrote all that in another reply down there, I'm just copying my own post to here.
Rose lover NEEDS to be limited. It's the main problem and not Komushroom or Marshleaf. Even if they have just one card in hand and no cards on field and like multiple rose lovers in graveyard they can just turn the duel around by summoning beaters and milling the cards they want. It always happens. You can chalice their komushroom all you want but they'll still win with rose lovers.
Why limit Rose Lover? Just because your bad deck cant counter it? Or because your P2W deck fall against Sylvans? lol
Im not a Sylvan player, but i hope konami will not limit more cards. Limiting is always a bad choice.
LOL my archfiend deck is bad? My CA deck is bad? HAHAHA. I have no problem playing those decks and thrashing sylvans but the problem is that sylvans killed other decks like dino kingdom and other control decks and I can't just play 1-2 decks just to counter sylvans and not have fun. Sylvans need to die
I agree completely.
There are decks that usually crush Sylvans, but they are very boring decks to play.
Also, it would be motivating to not get Sylvan deck opponents 90% of the time.
But how many times you'll see a Sylvan player's field being empty?
Sylvan packs a lot of low level monsters and both Komushroomo & Marshalleaf nukes your board. If anything, most of the time it's your board that's gonna be empty.
Furthermore, limiting Rose Lover doesn't change the fact that triple Komushroomo + Marshalleaf would still nuke your board, then any low level beaters they have will deplete all your remaining LP away.
To nerf Sylvan, it's Komushroomo and Marshalleaf that must be hit.
If you insist Rose Lover must be hit, I'd say Semi-Limiting it is enough. Then Semi-Limit both Komushroomo and Marshalleaf too. And Limit both Guardioak and Hermitree.
That way, Sylvan players are forced to choose which ones to run, while other Plant decks still can work with 2 Rose Lover.
