Everyone complaining about trap floodgates not being banned and all I see is this mathmech swoswo and despia nonsense everywhere that somehow always dodge the banlists or get away with a slight hit to the wrist. Eldlich dead ,floo dead and soon runick dead who all were never tier 1, meanwhile swoswo and despia been chillin in tier 1 since 1861 and mathmech is out here non targeting send 3 cards from field and hand to grave and negate smh.
Floodgates are a big problem in MD because it's a BO1 format. You don't see them in BO3 tournaments even without a side deck because they die to coin flip. Ladder is a different story. There's a reason they semi limited every floodgate, Konami knows they win most games going first.
So ure telling me eldlich subterror labrynth etc. are a big problem going first and all the tier 1 decks arent? Show me any evidence those decks have anywhere remotely similar win rates going first compared to the aforementioned decks going first. Not only does swoswo despia and mathmech have a higher winrate going first but going 2nd too and thats why they win tourneys and u rarely ever see trap decks in top cut even in bo1. U can play tcboo without any problems whatsoever in despia and rivalry in swo and mathmech but no one does. The optimal build is consistency and going 2nd cards over floodgates. Why so if they really are so powerful and problematic, care to explain? Imagine playing the most consistent most versatile decks that can set up interruption and negates going first and otk going second, have the highest win rate in ladder and tourneys and have answers to everything and complain about traps used by rogue trap decks that play no handtraps going 2nd and no omninegates going first. U play 12 hand traps for going 2nd against combo and only 1 or 2 backrow hate for trap decks if any. Now imagine if u played 12 backrow hate instead, traps would have no chance. Also harpies, evenly and ls are much stronger against trap decks than droplets and dark ruler against combo. Playing labrynth is so scuffed rn but the problem isnt branded fusion or circular its definitely gozen match..... Entitled spoiled combo crybabies are gonna stay entitled spoiled combo crybabies.
