Well, it's not a surprise that Dyna is limited now. For those who don't know, when you summon two Dynas on the field, your opponent can no longer attack you at all (the game doesn't even show you the option to attack), and that's really broken. I always wondered if that was intended or if it was just a glitch.
The effect is intentional. This lock dates back to Marauding Captain, and there are many other cards with the same effect. They are not broken, as they are easily countered by mainstream cards and will only be effective if they catch you off guard or in a tight position.
There are 2 versions of the lock:
A: This card cannot be selected as an attack target as long as....
B: You opponent cannot select an attack target other than this card.
If you have to of A or 2 of B, an attack lock occurs, however, there is a loophole and some monsters, like Guardian Kay'est, allow your opponent to attack you directly. The wording is key in figuring out which one :D
Type #1 prevents attacks except to "this card", and if there are two Dyna on the field, it creates a lock because you can't attack two cards at the same time.
Type #2 doesn't lock your attack, only your attack target. This is because it simply prevents you from attacking anything not named "Madolche Chouxvalier". So attacking either Chouxvalier is still a valid move.
lol, I forgot about those. I guess they would fall under a soft lock effect since they only limit attack targets, but they still are a variant of attack locks. All of which are intentional and were carefully planned during their design. :D
Not sure if it's just me but I didn't encounter a single dyna lockdown ever when climbing the ladder, not on this season or the previous one plus nowadays I believe everyone runs monster destruction cards on his/ her deck, I'm not sure how this limitation going to 🔥 fur-hire(dunpa being semi limmited matters tho) but we will see!
It doesn't happen most of the time because they are usually winning the game by the time a second Dyna is hitting the field...or in no position at all to be dropping/searching a second Dyna to begin with. It's a combo vulnerable to almost every staple being played, so it's not gonna happen unless it needs to.
