HEIL CONROE!



Serious note: meh expected

[[SA] Atem]

Atemus Restriction list Break Down:

I'll start with Ur Watar which was an okay decision although Melem still around so bushi just created an half hole but it's a start I guess

Next is SGD which I seriously can't understand why bushi restricted him instead of Regalie

Last will be Nightrunner... The restriction on Nightrunner is okay but if we take in consideration that GB mills a lot plus the fact that Chappie the Ghostie is a thing Bushi just slowed down the g1 deck a little but time will tell

Conroe:
The G.O.A.T has Returned Q('^')O

Sanctuary Guard Dragon Restricted to 1:
Did nothing honestly.I would had preferred the Flogal Blaster crit be restricted to 1, or The Regalia Stride to be restricted, or Benons etc etc to get restricted so that it could slow down the blaster engine (which is the REAL problem to me at least), this just give people a reason to run Arc and Guarntee's and does not really fix the "problem" at hand, which is blaster blade smacking people left and right with restanding powahs going Pew pew pew.

Seven Seas Apprentice, Nightrunner getting the Tick Tock Treatment:
Forgot it was a starter honestly, but i do understand why it had to be restricted do to multiple grade 1 gamers trying to disrupt the flow of the game which could be fun for the player but not as fun for the opponent. It really didn't solve anything though considering the multiple options GB has that can make up for the mill lost with this sudden change in starter but *Shrugs* oh well at least they acknowledged it and tried to do something about it, instead of saying "just run twitterun again"?

Steam Battler, Ur-Watar/Watal (whatever the thing is called) being restricted to 1:
Nothing, as usual from the main protagonist clan and the main money maker clan Gear Chronicle (as of now anyway). With GC having multiple ways of returning units back to the deck im surprised people weren't already running one of Watars anyway. With a g-guard that returns a trigger and something else to deck, Tickaway Dragon that returns cards from Drop to deck upon time leaping. This really just give the player more room to run draws/crits, or the other stand options? this dosent exactly fix the issue at hand especially when Malem is still alive with its hopping and leaping (Oh yaaa i made a pun). Putting it at one isnt going to make as big of a change they were "thinking" it would but i dont think they were thinking about anything other than the Big Cheese (Money people have anyone of you played ToonTown?).

All in All, This ban list in my opinion did nothing to help the main issues with the current games state, BUT at least we got conroe back and it at least shows bushi is paying attention to the meta (not to much attention obviously). and hopefully in the future they take more proper care of handling the things that get thrown on the ban list. IT IS bushiroad at the end of the day though, so no promises.
