YCS Mexico City QQ: Which Deck Do You Think Took the Biggest Hit as a Result of the New Forbidden & Limited List?

September 18th, 2016

QQ stands for Quick Questions! The new Forbidden & Limited List for the Advanced Format took a lot of power away from the top Decks in order to give other Decks the chance to compete and promote Deck diversity on the tournament scene. But some Decks were more heavily affected by the new Forbidden & Limited List than others. I surveyed the Duelists in attendance this weekend to see which Decks they think were hit the hardest by the new Forbidden & Limited List. Check out their responses!

“Monarchs.” -Arturo Flores

“Monarchs.” -Brandon Ossiel Aguilar Gonzalez

“Pendulum Magicians, Monarchs, and Kozmos.” -Daniel Ballesteros Limon

“Monarchs and Pendulum Magicians.” -Irvin Uriel Mundo Rivera

“Performapal Magicians and Monarchs.” -Vianey Montserrat Mondo Rivero

“Monarchs.” -Jose Carlos Sanchez

“Monarchs and Kozmos.” -Cesar Omar Gutierrez Martinez

“Monarchs and Kozmos.” -Francisco Guzman

“Kozmos.” -Joaquin Rinaldi

“Burning Abyss Phantom Knights, Monarchs, and Performapals.” -Marcos Gutierrez Sanchez

“Performapal Pendulums, Burning Abyss Phantom Knights, and Monarchs.” -Jesus Antonio Cueuas

“Pendulums and Monarchs.” -Francisco Javier Santiago

“Monarchs.” -Jose Carlos Marzan

“Kozmos, Monarchs, and Burning Abyss.” -Jose Daniel Soto Perez

“Monarchs.” -Bryan Omar DeLeon Espinosa

“Monarchs.” -Erick Alejandro Vicario Quintero

It’s no surprise that players believe the four most popular Decks of the previous Advanced Format – Monarchs, Kozmos, Performapal Pendulums, and Burning Abyss Phantom Knights – were weakened the most by the newest Forbidden & Limited List. This will likely help to create a more diverse field of Decks in competitive tournaments. We’ve already seen tons of new contenders make it to the top tables in each Round this weekend. Will the trend continue? Follow the coverage to find out!
