mathmechs with psy-frame gamma, are they actually going second or are they using it to negate ash/maxx c?

It's a great card for when you're Going Second. Also great for Going First if the opponent chooses to Maxx C in response to your Circular. Worse case scenario for that latter scenario is it also forces out their Ash.

Plus, it's a fantastic Small World bridge.

Combo too weak, control too strong. Ban control floodgates. Protos to 3 pls.

Mathmech and especially SwordSoul are pretty mid-range and not really combo decks. The only deck in the top 16 that I think is probably combo is the sort of mathmech-@ignister hybrid deck in the top 8. Also the control floodgates should at least be at 1 but Protos should probably also be banned.
