i actually have fun playing XYZ and yes, i know what e-dragons are, fighting them all the time on YGOPRO and i fought somebody who summoned tempest and forgot he couldn't attack when SPsummoned through his little water dragon helper. he still managed to win, because that doesn't matter...they can be banned, on the graveyard, in your deck in your hand...no matter were they are, you can pretty much always summon at least 2 per turn.
ok, ygopro helps the player ALOT with this, since the flashing ring around a card which can be activated at the grave or while banished pops up.
i bet it's much more confusing for the actual player in RL or on DN.
i mainly play gusto-steal (xyz/synchro optional) and mist harpies (instant dragosack/big eye lol) myself and have quite some fun.
does i sound like a hypocrite? no, because i just can summon one rank7 xyz (2 with alot of luck) per duel, while a well-made e-dragon deck easely pulls one off every turn.
well, they have their weaknesses, like my relinquished summoned with releaser of rituals which makes them ragequit.
but i still think my mist harpies are broken, tho i have fun playing with them...i just have no choice if i want to be somewhat competetive...always was a harpie fan and either i OTK with them or completely fail. there is no balanced in between.
gallis is till unbanned, like his two FTK/OTK loop companions...also good in your opinion?
quasar can be pulled off with 3 cards which all are unbanned.
i run one of those decks as well...man I AM a hypocrite. O.O
i saw rescue cat mainly with airbellum in a glad-beast deck...they could've just limited airbellum and left rescue cat at 1 imo.
konami rather chooses to destroy an archtype completely instead of balancing them.
but then they come with "hell let's make cylinders 3!!" then whatz about rabbit and tour guide? they're probably like "too cute to limit!! :3 "
THE idea...i run united we stands, magepowers and 3 cylinders...ppl these days are that stupid to actually attack lol.
