at a small cost
As one would see immediately, dragon rulers have been massacred enough to make conventional dragon rulers unusable, while spellbooks have been reset to their original form. At the same time,
1: heavy storm is gone, and in exchange, cards that one considered annoying that heavy storm controlled are also hit
2: almost every card that generated great advantage, or can even come across as a 1 card win condition is now banned
3: blackwings and agents are back
4: 3 axis fire fist have been broken, mermails have been hit bad too
5: bujins untouched
6: heroes murdered
This seems like a huge change to not just how the banlist is used, but the game itself. For the first time, relevance is not the guide by which decks are hit, and the banlist is actually trying to reset to its default purpose. But not entirely. Infernitys 1 card win condition, is still at 1, as well as that of machines; limiter removal. Not only that, but the boost on both agents and blackwings, and no hit on bujins, and the boost on zombies point to 1 thing. This banlist is also here to promote bujins, and, in the event bujins fail, make huge sales off transmodify by making all decks that can use it competitively viable
Regardless of this, its a pretty nice list. Its been a while since the balance of the game itself was actually a concern
