@Aigis31 3 месяца назад

For modern Yugioh, the card really should've had some kind of "if you control no cards" clause to prevent exactly this from happening. It invalidates the one thing it's supposedly trying to do, which is help Player 2 catch up after Player 1's hyper combo

@YukiFubuki. 3 месяца назад

@@Aigis31 personally i think maxx c should be split into 2 effects that both works the same with drawing cards if opponent special summons but differ in how they work; 1 effect has a "if you control no cards" clause to even activate while the other can only be activate if you control 1 or more cards but you only get to draw if the opponent controls more cards then you do when they special summon a monster and this is so various boards with cards on field can still use maxx c even but with a drawback

The nightmare scenario is when someone sets up a board and you start trying to break it and they bust out Maxx C. There are few things less fair in this world than being tasked with breaking a board while your opponent is drawing more hand traps to fuck you over. There's very little you could do to balance it other than to make it so that Maxx C can only be activated if you haven't used a card effect and that once it resolves no card effects can be used until the end of the turn.

@keikaku9298 3 месяца назад

Nib is useless against most meta decks because they can get to a generic negate like Barone under 4 summons or the combo line just plays through nib making a reasonably good board.

@danha3107 3 месяца назад

this was truer at nib's release, but now any combo deck worth its salt puts up Baronne or an equivalent negate by summon 5, or they can still play through and make a passable board. Now, nib is alright into combo, but totally hamstrings some midrange decks, just like the roach. I do agree though that it is a lot fairer than the roach. I still want the lil bastard banned but am open to a replacement that actually does what casuals and roach backers say it does. A free upstart at minimum just for the opponent playing the game while still scaling is just insane

@JakeTheJay 3 месяца назад

The whole Maxx C countering combo always baffled me. Midrage decks tended to suffer more due to the card, and a combo deck is able to set up their board and drop a maxx c on top of it. Another thing to note it that Maxx C forces combo decks to grow even more degenerate. So they look to lock you out from using any of the 12 cards you're drawing off of maxx c more than a board of one for one interactions. It pushes the extremes of the game further

Midrange deck like solfachord can summon ariseheart+grandsolfachoed coolia in 4 summon(ocg doesn't ban ariseheart), so draw the out i quess. i don't play handtraps in this type of deck because solfachord or pendulum are always all in or bust Deck including maxx c, and rely on either i lose immediately or winning instantly. This is how i play in ocg and master duel, let's say im playing Vaylantz going first and my opponent maxx c me, good luck with your draw because i will still summon fossil and hope you draw the out, which then i lose instantly if you did draw the out for secret village and fossil lock.

@shawnjavery 3 месяца назад

Card draw, especially slow card draw that either happens over multiple turns or at the end of a turn after you combo off, tends to benefit mid range decks a lot more than combo. Combo decks don't really work on longer horizons, being able to draw into something that gives you a better play the next turn isn't particularly relevant but in something like swordsoul drawing taia off of chixao can be very good, since you might have to play into a bit of a board turn 3 and that gives you more options then. Combo is a bit more likely to punish you for giving them an extra draw off of maxx c and not set up a board, but its not like mid range can't capitalize on weak boards just as well. Mid range ok the other hand is somewhat likely to be able to win even through a turn skip, since the decks tend to be tailored for a longer time frame.

@HoloDDKaraoke 3 месяца назад

As a retired OCG player, I think TCG players tend to overvalue draws and it's part of the reason why OCG players don't consider it as big as a deal. Relevant side tangent: Roughly 10 years ago, Upstart Goblin took off in popularity in the TCG, nearly every deck ran 3 copies of the card, and I remember hearing the phrase "37 card deck" thrown around at the time. And yet, it never caught on the OCG, sure there were a few who experimented with it but overall it just didn't hit off as much as it did in the TCG. And I think it's because the OCG players don't value the extra draw as much as the TCG did. This next part is anecdotal, so take with a grain of salt. But from what I observed when I was playing in OCG locals and regionals, OCG players are more willing to take the maxx c challenge. And if you ask them why, most will say that it doesn't matter if the opponent draws 4+ cards, if none of the draws can break the board then those draws are meaningless.

@glimmerkepu 3 месяца назад

I still remember having discussions over Upstart Goblin before it became popular. We knew the card was extremely powerful as a generic draw but at the time we could only justify playing it in very aggressive decks since the game was more grindier, trying to out-value your opponent over a few turns with good trades and resource loops so I guess we didn't see a single card draw as explosive as running an extra staple, starter or extender and maybe also put too much value on Lifepoints since we were so focused on finding lethal each turn. Now I think we'd all run 3 copies of it much like Solemn Judgment.

The problem with Maxx “C” is that huge sections of the modern game were and continue to be developed assuming it’s still legal at three copies. Its presence was an incorporated concern of card design that contributed directly to accelerating modern power creep. Now, every deck either was built around it, or built around other decks built around it.

In the absence of "mak[ing] strong decks even stronger", you have broken decks with no counter play other than using the same tired broken decks. Maxx C enables SOME variance to deck building, which if nonexistent, feeds into more and more people quitting the game.

@@CronoEpsilon You can't attempt to speak sensibly and end with nonsense, then it just nullifies everything you said before it. Like, bro, you used Maxx C on me, then Droll and Lock Birded yourself. "That's what the ban list is for"? You HAVE to know that's an idiotic notion. I assume you haven't been playing long enough, so let me spell it out for you. Konami will not ban cards upon release, so it's fundamentally the case that there's at least one broken mechanic live at any given time, and this has basically always been true. Beyond that, most of the time, cards don't even end up on the ban list until after new cards come out, which themselves are ban worthy. It's an endless cycle that's existed for at least 15 years now. The ban list has not ever worked in the way you're describing it, and it's incredibly naïve to think that it ever will. I need you to understand that I don't mean to be toxic to you, I just strongly disagree with what you said.

@MrFlackle 3 месяца назад

One thing that doesn't seem to get talked about much is how maxx c affects the development of the game itself. Since maxx c is legal in the ocg, and cards are first designed for the ocg in mind, there's a very good chance (this is speculation i don't know this for certain) that when combo archetypes are designed they are designed in a way to try and handle maxx c. This in effect has at least the potential to increase the power ceiling of a deck. Either by making it so the deck can make power plays with fewer summons or make it so you can take the challenge and still win. Thus we see an increase in either the outright power level of combo pieces or we see decks that focus on generating floodgates on legs. I would bet the power creep would be at least a lot more contained if not for maxx c being legal in the ocg. We've seen so many decks become tier 0 and borderline tier 0 in the tcg when they where just tier 1 in the ocg. This isn't to say we should unban maxx c in the tcg to solve the issue, but there is something problematic with cards being designed for a completely different format thus requiring the tcg to compensate with the banlist (an imperfect solution but at least its something). Honestly I've believed for a long time now that having the tcg and the ocg separate is a big issue for the game on a design level. It allowed Konami to also rarity bump cards that are known to be very strong because they've been thoroughly playtested for 3 months before being released here. The game would be in a much better state overall if the tcg and ocg got sets released at the same time, had the same banlist, and always had all the same rulings (the 2020 update helped standardize for the most part). The problem is that they've been separate for so long now it may be difficult to make things equal without making the player base of one of (or both of) the regions upset. Banning maxx C may not be something everyone in the OCG would support but may be healthier for the game overall for both regions moving forward without engaging in more drastic changes. Thank you for coming to my TED talk have a great day!

@alpha34098 3 месяца назад

I always said that the solution to the Banlist Issues (because in the earlier years of the game, there was only one Banlist shared by both Formats, but this was causing issues specially in the OCG side since the TCG side was holding them back) should not have been making 2 Banlists, but to actually allow the TCG to catch up with the OCG and then start relasing the sets Worldwide. That was common sense Of course, the decision was made before Maxx "C" was even a thing

Nothing better shows this than how Super Heavy Samurai was handled in the OCG vs the TCG. In the OCG the deck was around for a good amount of time, more than a couple months while in the TCG it got hit on the banlist after 2 weeks. So the entire card philosophy in the OCG allowing maxx c exists helps facilitate decks like SHS and Snake Eyes coming into existence, while the TCG gets the products later and has to handle the aftermath.

Maybe if it made you banish the cards as you drew them, it'd be more fair.

And those turns where players would combo off were often OTKs on that very turn rather than a first turn play meaning the card advantage you got from the roach might not actualy help you, especially with hand traps being less of a thing. The idea that Maxx C keeps combo decks in check in just plain fallacious. Those combo decks don't go away because of it as we have seen. They run Maxx C and the outs like Called and Ash just as any other deck does. And the decks that aren't hard oppressed by Maxx C are not just those huge combo decks. With a few specific exceptions decks these days need a decent few to set something up that doesn't leave them a total sitting duck.

i feel its just insane that konami has refused to errata or replace maxx c. its not like its a particularly hard task either. i was throwing possible erratas at a wall with a friend, and we came up almost immediately with the idea of just putting back as many cards you drew at the end phase. lets you draw into more handtraps at the risk of having to minus at the end of it all, and also allows the opponent to set up the ocg's flawed idea of a compromised board without giving the absurd advantage of like, 4-5+ cards for some decks. this also broadens the decks that arent affected too much by maxx c, since some decks are naturally resistant to common handtraps (innately or after a certain point in their combo). in fact, i think this would be a much more interesting game of testing ones luck, seeing how far you can take your board without just getting btfo by nib draw.

If I were to give Maxx "C" an Errata to make it more fair it would be like this: You can only activate the following Effect if you control no monsters: ( Quick Effect ) You can discard this card, draw cards equal to the amount of times ypur opponent special summoned monsters at the time of this cards activation. You can only use this Effect of Maxx "C" once per turn. That way you're opponent cant set up like 5+ Negates and additionial interruptions and THEN just Maxx C during draw for an additional kick to the nuts. Also the revised Draw Effect makes it take more skill to use, since unless the Deck doesent set up an Negate at all, you have decide when its the best moment to use it.

You can't play around Maxx C, if you can't special summon you can't play the game. Giving your opponent free draws is not a viable strategy. Other hand traps in the game are far more interactive, Nibiru also punishes special summoning but theres lots of interesting ways to adjust your combo if you think your opponent has it in hand. You mentioned droll in this video as not giving you a choice, but you can build your deck in such a way that you can play through droll, which is interesting and can be fun especially when you get to execute your strategy in game. Maxx C doesn't give you any of these options, you either draw the out or pass your turn and hope for the best. It's not fun, it's not fair, it's not interactive. It's overpowered and bad for the game.

Maxx C essentially is a quick effect turnskip floodgate handtrap which only affects the opponent. In terms of the impact it hs on the gameplay experience, it's like a generic main deck rhongo which summons itself from hand as a quick effect. It's the worst floodgate in the game by far.

@MonkeyFightTCG 3 месяца назад

@Disappointed_Philosoraptor 3 месяца назад

@@MonkeyFightTCG because everyone maindecks 3-6 copies of the equivalent of xyz encore/herald of the abyss or, as is the case with a select few decks, factored the ability to survive a turnskip into their gameplan. Back when Rhongo was legal, the best players also played around it l. Pro players will by definition find ways to work with or somewhat play around anything, but the existence of these very specific ways is in no way, shape or form a justification for the cards being legal. My point is that if it resolves, and if you do not happen to play a specific anti-Maxx C version of a select few decks which even can be played in that way, the opponent might as well have summoned a 4 material rhongo from hand. It's effect is as severe in terms of outcome as the most heinous, toxic and even lingering floodgates while being a generic,unconditional quick effect hand trap, which therefore makes it worse than all of them. Thus, it ought to be judged as such. To be logically consistent, if we claim this one is fine in principle, all are and we consequently have no basis to ban any of them. If, however, we say that the game is objectively better the less of them are in play, it ought to be banned.

@Disappointed_Philosoraptor 3 месяца назад

@@MonkeyFightTCG I believe I did lay out my reasoning, which was not based on hate but the points I brought up. Anyway, to answer your question "why are the best players able to play around maxx "C" without specific counters and just with the generic cards in their deck": They aren't. Have you looked at the deck lists for the master duel WCS 2023 for instance? Every single deck brought to the event was 1.) part of a select group of decks which can be geared to somewhat play around maxx C or outright ignore it 2.) heavily geared around mxx C 3.) had the maximum avaliable number of counters to Maxx C in the deck (excpet the decks which do not care about maxx C resolving due to 1) and 2). So, in short, if you pre-select which deck you choose to play based on which decks can best complete their gameplay even if the roach resolves, and then also further tweak it to more optimally deal with the roach and then also run all the outs avaliable, you end up with a situation where all the pros can handle maxx c with just the "generic cards" in their deck. What you're looking at though is survivorship bias. It's why looking just at the top players will give a distroted imagine of what is actually happening and lead to false conclusions. To illustrate the pinciple at play, there's a joke: "99% of all participants of our study answered that they enjoy filling out surveys. We conclude that 99% of the population live to answer our surveys" The reason the "winning deck", natura Runic, won, was that it was the best at handling maxx C while maintaining a good enough power level in doing so. Watch the entirety of Josh's stream where you got that clip from, he does state exactly that. On the MD ladder, you can play decks which lose to maxx C if their overall powerlevel is good enough, because as long as enough other players also play decks which lose to maxx C (which is just about every compentitve deck in MD for just about the entire existence of Master duel) the losses you take will be counterbalanced with wins over a big enough sample size so long as you yourself also play Maxx C at 3. Sorry for the super long comments btw. The topic is too complex to tackle in just a few lines.

@kilianmaier4369 3 месяца назад

@@MonkeyFightTCG There might also be a small skill issue, that is right, but all your playarounds come down to the deck choice.

@80lightelmo 3 месяца назад

I still feel that the best reasons for banning the card are quite simple: 1. Card drawing is arguably the most powerful effect in a game with no resource system. 2. Special summoning at least 3 or four times is done by almost every deck in the game. In a game that has every generic draw spell either banned, limited, or heavily restricted such a powerful generic draw effect has to go.

@legoferrari14 3 месяца назад

From what I've seen on general discussion is that the separation of OCG and TCG has resulted in a power-creep runaway situation in the TCG because of the way cards are designed in the OCG first where Maxx C is much more widely-accepted. So thus the tolerably-powerful OCG cards become overbearing once they reach the international TCG format, and because Yu-Gi-Oh uses a banlist instead of set-based rotations like other TCG's e.g. Pokemon, older cards don't come-and-go so problem cards are at the whims of the banlist outside of the rare situation of a nerfing errata. Divergence of rulesets in my opinion harms more games than it helps since even if the core elements are the same, then discourse over the competitive scene will become muddied due to how differently the game is played between regions, particularly when it's a game that gets new content on a regular basis and especially when that content's release window is staggered between regional formats.

For me, I just look at it from a game design perspective and to that end your video is very valiuable. My personal perspective is that I don't like neither playing the card nor having it played against me, in either scenario it gives me a feeling of arbitrariness that sort of taints the outcome of the game for me, and reduces the interesting complexity in a similar way to playing a card stating "flip a coin, heads you win, tails you lose" (hyperbole notwithstanding). In earnest though, it's not so much Maxx C that bothers me, it's the game as a whole, the monetization and design factors cementing cards like this to be a part of Yugioh. It's why even if I like to watch videos about Yugioh, I don't actively play it or participate in it beyond that.

The thing that frustrates me about online Maxx C discussion is how fatalistic it is. You hear more about how "if Maxx C resolves you instantly win/lose", while I've seen OCG deck guides include Maxx C lines in them. But from talking online you'd get the impression that the card has a 100% win rate versus any deck that isn't Floo. Given that Maxx C is in MD, you'd expect to see competitive content on it, but no. You don't get any advice on good lines for a deck that give your opponent 1/2 draws - instead, you get "I hate Maxx c". Which is valid but completely useless for getting better at the game.

Is it extreme? Yes. But when you have the ability to go +10 or greater, especially with how some decks such as Lab can start their combos on your turn I thing it ia a fair trade.

I don't like the argument that "It creates an unfair advantage", because it would open the floodgates to the idea that, by that same logic, measures should not be taken to nerf decks that run mostly 'Dark' attribute monsters? After all, the 'Dark' attribute is the one most supported, generating an unfair advantage for decks that run mostly 'Dark' attribute monsters, over decks that run mostly, for example, 'Wind', 'Earth', 'Water' and 'Fire' attribute monsters. Shouldn't they, therefore, also nerf 'Dragon' Type monsters? After all, Dragon is the most supported card type in the game, so a player who plays with a deck mostly made up of dragons would have an unfair advantage against players who play with decks mostly made up of fish or sea snake type monsters, right?

So i have funny way to fix maxx c, You can only use this effect while you controll no monster,(maxx c effect), then If you have 7 card you have to put back 1 card into the deck, at the end of the turn discard a card until you have 5 or less cards. So instead at the end phase you literally need to take advantage of the draw now i must say it not perfect but again it just punish going first combo bs while you sculpting your perfect hand. so basically its sculpting your hand toward something, while allow you to shotgunning for hand trap while the combo. I think i come as ocg player that love to still able to play the silly non-sense deck that really get butt blasted by maxx C but again if we can get middle ground to sorta errata the maxx C to have restrictions i think it will be fine, like muligan x-1 card after end phase or what i do , something around those line.

New Maxx c card idea. You can activate this card only on your opponent turn only and only on the very first chain link, you cannot active any other card from your hand this turn and this card activation cannot negate. At the end of the turn, you can draw cards in order to equalize total combination of card in hand and the field to both player. You can only activate this card ones per duel. Example if opponent have 5 card in hand and 10 cards in the field, and you have 5 card in hand and no card on the field, you draw 10 cards on the end of the turn.

I undertand how broken that card was when at round 1 I went against an X-Saber player. He activated boggard, chain maxx c. He asked what it does, I explained it to him, he said ok, proceed to make the full combo to handloop me without realizing that I was repleninshing any card h discarded and so he passed going -5, 1 faultroll on the field and I had 8 cards in hand. Today, I want to see the roach banned. It doesn't give me any enjoyent winning a game because I just happen to resolve a card nor it's enjoyable watching the opponent stopping my turn just for that. Sadly I don't think it will never happen because banning Maxx C would mean that the people running the TCG knows how to balance this game better than the people in Japan.

How about a new effect like: If your opponent summons a monster; (Quick Effect) Send this card to GY. For rest of this turn, until you activate a card or effect, each time your opponent Special Summons a Monster, draw one card. If you activate a card or effect while this card is in your GY: your opponent draws one card. You can only activate each effect of this card once per Duel. No free draw, disincentive to activate after an established board, maxx c is turned off if you use another hand trap, all other copies are dead, and your opponent draws once when you commit to the game.

I’d like to note that this data suggests Maxx “C” actually makes going first even more advantageous (seeing as it gives a higher increase in win rate).

It gives everyone an increase in win rate

The only time I don't mind when people play max c is when I'm playing my trickster burn and I kill them wile they have most of their cards in there hand literally every other time I just leave I don't play any meta hand traps in any of my decks as I mostly play for fun. maybe its because I'm a casual player but if they banned Max c and Ash blossom the game would be a lot more fun my friend group when we play don't use them when we play and games are a blast.

@Izudothiro 3 месяца назад

I'm gonna be pretty honest, I despise handtraps but I really like the design of Imperm so for me every single handtrap should have at least the Gamma restrictions

@shizukanaokami7018 3 месяца назад

You've kinda hit the nail in the head as far as how I feel about it and in Master Duel. It isn't exactly a healthy card but a Bo3 format can still be fun to engage with even with the roach running around as even if you do end up losing, you still have another round to look forwards too. But unfortunately MD is a Bo1 format. It's bad enough that it's a Bo1 in the first place as I don't feel YGO was made for that, but with the roach running around it's just miserable to play sometimes. If it was Bo3, players would still be complaining but it wouldn't nearly be as unbearable as it is now.

The strength of a deck with maxx c present adds another layer of deck prep for me and many others i feel. Most meta decks are able to still put up a form of disruption and recursion with only 1 or 2 special summons. I play rogue decks and in order to consistently reach masters i have to play traptrix because its a control deck that doesn't need much. Either that or evil twins because i have plenty of handtraps to stop the opponent anyway. And its pretty much one or the other for me. Combo decks are too risky for me with how many counters people are running.

Maxx c just need the player that activates maxx c to put a card from their hand on the bottom of their deck when they draw of Maxx c, maybe also make it an optional effect.

@user-jc2ez6ig5z 3 месяца назад

Replace it with... UltimateC: (Quick effect) If you have no cards on field of which you are the original owner of, if your opponent has summoned two or more times, you can discard this card, draw 1 card for every summon the rest of the turn. You cannot inflict lethal damage until the end of your opponents next turn. If your opponent activated a card in response to this card, you can return this from gy or banishment to deck, then add any 2 cards from deck to hand.

@MonkeyFightTCG 3 месяца назад

this maxx "C" seems quite a bit stronger than regular maxx "C" albeit one that can only go second. I'm mixed on this approach. I'd rather a weaker go second effect however one with an existing go first effect. something like you can banish this from your hand to draw one. also "You cannot inflict lethal damage until the end of your opponents next turn. " is a good conditional

@Gravitysonic0 3 месяца назад

Speaking as a player that settled in rush duel links, a heavy "luck and single cards flip entire games on their head out of nowhere", the yugioh card game and master duel could really use new game rules to combat the ever evolving power creep and speed of the game. Yes I'm suggesting things like having altered versions of maxxC, ash, nibiru, drnm,shifter etc as new mechanics of the game rather than individual cards that need to be in your hand at right time.

@braindeadborgerboi8736 3 месяца назад

I just don't like the idea of a card that creates such a wide gap between if it resolves or not. It's too much variance for a card with an effect that strong. I honestly think Yu-Gi-Oh is one of the worst designed TCGs out there, and while a lot of the game's charm does come from that; it does just sometimes suck. Maxx "c" was made to curb some of those really shitty parts of the game, but the actual outcome was like trying to use gasoline to put out a house fire. Also best of one formats get to be incredibly frustrating for higher level play, I have said this since master duel's release and I still will with One Piece (I love the game, but tournaments being best of one can lead to variance determining a match more than skill.)

@jsk1429 3 месяца назад

I haven’t seen this argument yet, but I don’t see why ppl hyper focus on maxx C, when Konami intentionally constantly released busted decks

@MonkeyFightTCG 3 месяца назад

Don't worry I talk about that alot too

@jsk1429 3 месяца назад

@@MonkeyFightTCG sorry if that came across as a criticism, I doubt that you don’t, it’s just that maybe for me in MD, not many of my duels are decided because of maxx C even if it resolves when I’m playing a rogue tier deck. This makes me believe that the real issue is the stupid cards Konami print simply for money, if Ik in 2 months Konami will make a stupidly strong deck that’s going to get power crept in another 2 months, is maxx C really my biggest problem? Because when these cards come to masterduel it’s going to be so annoying to deal with. I thought it was a really well made video though. It’s just I remember the days of tear at like not even maxx power where someone would maxx c me and I would literally draw more cards than them on their turn wile under maxx c. That’s why I’m on neither of the ban maxx C argument.

@MitzaelSerna 3 месяца назад

we need Maxx "C" on the TCG

@Cassapphic 3 месяца назад

I think the main two issues with maxx c are the reward is too high and the prompt too generic, while droll often annoys me, it does feel less bad of a "no, thats enough, no more" than maxx c in part because it doesnt upstart itself for free, and also its more specific and matchup dependent. I adore most hand traps that feel actually interactive rather than maxx c reading "if you dont have the out, pass or I draw 20 cards and win on the spot" maybe if there was a hand trap like D shifter that locked you to 2 extra deck summons or stopped you from summoning from deck or something like that.

@funa. Месяц назад

as someone who doesnt craft and wherethore doesnt play maxx c for years in MD, I gonna points out that those numbers are of those % are top players (no idea if all Masters or Masters 1) And the usage still gets modified by current Pack releases. Ash Blossom might be overrepresented (LUL) cause she is the only anti-C which they consider a staple.

@18vlsnp 3 месяца назад

I actually stopped playing master duel. Once you get to the higher ranks in master duels, getting maxc'd 5 games in a row.... sucks man. Or what about when u take ur pet deck as high as u can climb on the ranks. U lose the coin toss, go second againts a meta deck, making the climb to break the meta decks board, Just to get maxc'd on the 2nd turn of the game 😊

@sufnskanne469 3 месяца назад

You playing higher ranked or nah ? Cause sometimes and I mean quite a bit Max c doesn't do mutch . Against the best decks it Doesn't do mutch occasionally. If anything it's better against combo heavy lower tier decks that take forever to set up they're 40 negates .

@thekittenfreakify 3 месяца назад

I have a theory. Decks are able to play under maxx c more efficiently as time goes. To the point some decks that play inder it donot do well in tcg. I think they will either keep baning card to make those decks work in tcg or thry will eve tually bring balc maxx c.

@thekittenfreakify 3 месяца назад

Honestly maxx c 2 should pull from the recent card design. Like nibiru limit it to 5. Hell make it a jar as an evolution of morphing jar

@dragonmaster951753 3 месяца назад

The biggest issue with maxx c is there is no drawback to including it in your deck. I like to compare it with the original banned cards and the philosophy behind it. Was there EVER a time to NOT run pot of greed? No. Maybe you could argue some niche cases in todays super fast format but even now you would see pog at 98% play rate cause why not? Maxx c hit 95% for the same reason. Theres no downside to playing it. You know how terrible it is to open nibiru against eldlich, lab, traptrix, etc? Youll never get to activate it. Or some combo decks can put up a monster negate by summon 5 anyway. So theres a downside to playing it and you have to weigh the odds and the format to including it. If heroes are even tier 0, nibiru would be a staple main deck cause it blows them up but if lab is tier 0 nibiru is forgotten. Nibiru is good card design. It is designed to keep heavy combo decks in check while control decks wont be bothered. Maxx c hits every deck besides floowandereeze. Rather its an upstart or a deck out, it will draw you cards against virtually every deck you see. Thats what makes the card truly broken. Its astounding how a competitive tournament saw a 100% play rate on a card and though "tearlament is the problem". Maxx c has survived EVERY meta it has been legal in and has outlived every deck it is suppose to "check". It can go. The game will be fine without it. Learn how to actually counter each deck and quit relying on a brain dead bug to do the heavy lifting. Every format you should be reworking your staples for the format regardless of your deck. Ash isnt always needed, called by can be left out, crossout isnt even limited in the tcg because no one plays it. Maxx c is brain dead to include with no drawbacks with way too heavy of a payoff for including it in EVERY deck from stun to combo

@WilliamReginaldLucas 2 месяца назад

Got hit with Maxx C going second the other day but my opponent had nothing solid on board and I had a great starter hand so I thought fuck it I’ll play into it… They drew into a Nibiru
