Come to think of it ... they would have just errata JLoA into "if u play JLoA during your recruite step, target opponent discard a card" ... it makes no sense .. but its better.

Ooookay...so you don't want to fix why that card was a problem? :(

it was a good explaination on why things were done this pat week..... but i for one would not of mind rember 3 more car errats instead of a banning wich is moreless why they wasn't errat'd wich makes no sense to me becasue theres like 12 cards errta right at a new sets released. i mean correct me if i'm wrong about that.

o and anyone wanna fill in the blanks to this one :)

"Let’s just say that, if you had to think about the best possible draw you might have had at PC: San Francisco, it very well could have included Mr. Mxyzptlk, Fifth Dimension Imp; Attend or Die!; and Devil’s Due. I’ll let you fill in the rest of the pieces and figure out the earliest turn you could have had several infinitely large characters this past week."

hmmmmmm..... :)

They failed to convince me for Antarctic Research Base. The rest of the article was fine, though.

The infinite combo he put up would've been slower than JLoA.... You need Mxy, Attend or die, Devil's Due, Team up revenge squad with secret society, and a doom character. You can't search for attend or devils due, making this not all that useful.

I think its easir to ban something than to errta something and make it work, they are taking the easy way out.

For JLOA you can errata it to "this card cannot be flip-down by effect you control" this will stop the Ivy League abuse and make the card a team-up for the inmates.

For ARB, just errta it so it doesnt work with uniqure equipment because its the F###ing fate artifact that is broken. Fate artifact will remain broken unless you change the cost to 1. No equipment should be free when it has hte power like that.

It's possible to errta, they just dont want to do it because banning is easir.

Errata on either card would be the wrong choice.

I dont know, even during the combat phase is still pretty sick. Knocking 5 cards out of your opponents hand instead of 7. Yes they can set a resource and recurit but still thats a pretty big hit to take. Banning was probably the right idea.

I suspect Dr Light will be banned somewhere far down the road too. Cards like the new silver surfer and who knows what else will probably just make him way to powerful in the future. Right now he's ok... but sooner or later he's going to cause problems.

Not at all. They have as has been correctly said taken the easy way out.

The explanation means nothing because they have not addressed the real problems. Dr LIght is still around as is Cosmic Radiation which is the real reason why ARB got banned.

and the fact artifact, I am sure someone will figure out a way to abuse them pretty soon, then more banning, when will it stop........ban the broken cards not the cards around them cough cought fate artifact dr.light

No no, you're wrong.

And the reason why Cosmic works in that turn 3 win deck is because ARB allows you to look at 60 cards in your deck and add those cards to your hand.

So without ARB they cannot pull it off efficiently. Hence, the deck no longer wins on turn 3 and 4 consistently. (and it's impossible now on turn 3 since you would only get Thing up to around 36 ATK and then lose because you have no way to finish off your opponent if you can deal the breakthrough).

Plus F4 is a team in the Heralds set. So that's possibly a factor.

The combat phase errata is still nuts, and it still allows the JLoA deck to run something like Penguin on their initiative to potentially make a lot of decks miss a resource or recruit anyway. Then there's the factor that any team-up support they release in the future would also help JLoA, which is something they'd have to watch out for EVEN with the errata.

These were the right decisions on UDE's part.

Edit: And if Dr. Light is still seen in 50 billion different decks because it's that good at PCLA, I'm sure they'll take action. But right now, it's fine. The only decks that top 8ed PCSF that ran Light was JLoA, and the real culprit there was taken care of. The Fate Artifacts are new, and I'm sure UDE is just going to wait and see if we find a solution to them. It may be problematic, but those characters are not immune to KO effects. If you can take out the opposing "Dr. Fate" then they burned out all of their resources for a turn of making you waste a combat pump and a Removed from Continuity or other KO effect.

The real culprit for JLOA is acutally hope + Dr.light combo plus hard sound thanks to ryle + Dr.light combo...mmmm see the pattern here? Dr.light? I dare you to run a JLOA without Dr.Light, come on seriously, which card is more broken.

My errta for JLOA would acutally be "you cannot flip this card down with effects you control" therefore no more hope abuse

ARB doesnt allow you to go though your deck, fate artifact allows you to go though your deck the draw 4 discard 3 thing, agree? Face it, ARB is only broken with fate artifict, ARB wasnt broken before, that means that the truly broken is fate artifact.

My errta for ARB "only when you recuit non-unique equipement"

face it, UDE doesnt make to spend time testing errta, they rather just ban something, much easir.

Try my errta, I bet you it works, but then who is going to spend time testing, not UDE.

It's not just the artifacts that contributed to ARBs banning. With it out it makes it so all 0 cost equipment were dangerous.
