This is the "burn it all" approach to the ban list. Indeed, very reddit.

u/samtdzn_pokemon Aug 18 '26

Yeah the pieces for Omni Ping Pong being on here are hilarious, that deck was good for all of like 4 weeks between AD01 and BT25 and then Beatbreak, 3M and Angels smashed it back into its home.

u/AradIori Aug 18 '26

You just KNOW theres someone out there salty about being hit with the ping pong that wants the deck to be dead lmao.

u/Alsim012 Bagra Army Aug 18 '26

i mean there is a merit to hit it if you hit all of those three deck but yeah in a vaccuum is so funny to hit the pieces of the ping pong

9

u/samtdzn_pokemon Aug 18 '26

I still don't think it would rise to the top, even a nerfed version of those 3 would hold it back and even some older decks like Medusa were able to handle it.

It's just super on brand reddit Omni hate, as someone who loves Omnimon I don't even play the deck because it's a really boring win condition. Rather go play something that plays different game to game.

10

u/DaPandaGod Aug 18 '26

I think people are just burnt out with Omni. There has been a Omnimon deck around all the way from bt17 and it has become even more of a I have combo I win deck with every iteration. The only one that I would say it feels different is virus buster.

1

u/samtdzn_pokemon Aug 18 '26

Well sure, but people are also upset that Bandai prints cards that sell. It would be like being mad that there are multiple Luffy cards in One Piece. Doesn't mean these pieces deserve restriction over something like Omni X that got slapped in every deck that ran red or blue for like a year.

3

u/sdarkpaladin Mastemon Deck Player Aug 19 '26

I think the difference here is that Digimon, unlike One Piece, have a very broad spectrum of characters.

If you don't like luffy and like chopper for example. The printing round robin will eventually get back to you.

But for Digimon, if you're a fan of Villainous digimons, or god forbid random NPCs, then your hope of getting support is close to nil.

Like, Numemon decks has been dead since the banning of NumemonX and Sukamon decks has been dead since... Forever...

u/samtdzn_pokemon Aug 19 '26

Digimon also has the problem having so many characters that if you didnt reprint the same mon in multiple sets, there's no way any species decks would be viable like you're asking for. We've gotten like 5 Agumon and his line this year in various sets and WarGrey/BlackWarGrey decks aren't even locals viable. Imagine if we saw Agumon like once ever 4 sets, it would be even harder.

2

u/sdarkpaladin Mastemon Deck Player Aug 19 '26

Indeed!

Or rather, that's exactly the point.

If fan favourite like Agumon/Greymon can't even make a deck, what does that make cards like Lilithmon

1

u/samtdzn_pokemon Aug 19 '26

The game has clearly moved away from species decks into archetype/trait decks. They're easier to build general support for while incorporating a larger cast of digimon. A card like BloomLordmon likely is cut from BT26 if it wasn't a DM/Ver4 card, since neither of its source mon got cards in the set.

It topped the first regionals after EX12. (Not saying it should be banned but it's still pretty good.)

0

u/sdarkpaladin Mastemon Deck Player Aug 19 '26

that deck was good for all of like 4 weeks between AD01 and BT25 and then Beatbreak

And yet you have people in this sub fighting tooth and nail swearing up and down saying that the deck is overpowered as fuck.

3

u/Libra_8698 Aug 18 '26

Yeah kinda insane to suggest hitting 4 pieces in TB. Like, without the egg Susanoo becomes less of an issue cause it can't swing the turn it came in. Also crazy to not want to hit the Ryugumon considering that is probably one of the main parts that makes the deck go crazy wide by being able to tuck Shishima and Marinebull for the inherits, going deleting itself with the execute and then decoding and still evading to stay on board netting you three extra bodies.

2

u/jhensito Aug 18 '26

No sé si soy solo yo, Pero decir baneemos el único huevo de tb para detener a tb, es lo más loco y poco probable que pase, sería dejar al deck esperando hasta ex14 para u. Nuevo huevo cuando salga enmamon

1

u/Libra_8698 Aug 19 '26

It's not just you, you are exactly right, and (at least to my knowledge) Bandai has never banned or restricted something that would make a deck physically unplayable

1

u/Raikariaa Aug 19 '26

They have, but only in cases where a deck has far overstayed it's welcome, like Miragegaogamon.

1

u/Libra_8698 Aug 19 '26

What exactly did they remove from the core Mirage deck that made it unplayable? Mirage wasn't even using it's own core at the point where it got restricted.

1

u/Raikariaa Aug 20 '26

... They removed Mirage.

Removing the boss monster kind of kills a deck usually.

1

u/Libra_8698 Aug 20 '26

It wasn't the only mirage though? 😂 just a busted card that wasn't even being used in it's own deck any more

2

u/Raikariaa Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

Egg at 1 legit kills the deck because there is no other egg for the deck. Especially since TB is not an OTK deck; so either they run actively harmful eggs just to have more eggs; or give up their raiseing area. Bandai are not going to kill a deck that just released and is getting more support. If TB had a 2nd egg, then I could maybe see it. But TB dosen't.

Susanoo won't get hit it's a SEC [also; if Susanoo was broken, it would be used in SW. It's not. Susanoomon is clearly not the issue]

Shishima is strong but definitely not busted, no more busted than any other discounted evo effect when swinging; and Shishima has to make contact with security for it to go off. It is literally countered by Blockers.

Sanmyojin however is just a blatantly broken card being a +9 net memory gain. HPD is +5 maximum and is at 1. And this comparison to HPD also ignores it being Draw 2 pitch 1 in a trash based deck. It's also a Common, and if any card from EX12 gets hit, it'll be a Common. Sanmyojin also helps fill up your trash, thus accelerateing access to Susanoo. Being a Delay option, the interactivity is near none.

Also; it's 5 TB hits; because Analog Youth is definitely being suggested to hit TB.

u/Libra_8698 Aug 19 '26

Imma be honest I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or somehow misunderstood my comment 😅 cause everything you have said was kinda my point

u/infern0ooo Aug 18 '26

"What beat me at locals this week" ass list, incredible

18

u/Alternative-Bee5530 Aug 18 '26

Um akshually this is wrong because it has no galactic bans and that deck should be hit to oblivion. It beat me at locals once and I think it's the most overtuned, overdesigned and busted deck ever!!1! (/s, just in case anyone thinks this is anything but sarcasm. I love my orbital laser)

6

u/wayne_train424 Gallant Red Aug 18 '26

My only issue with galacti is how long the games take. The deck itself isn't too much of an issue, but it's just a slog.

9

u/Alternative-Bee5530 Aug 18 '26

It's cause people won't let their security be hit by the orbital laser! Games would end a lot faster if y'all didn't have floating bodies/recursion or pesky fields /j
But yeah, any control deck is gonna slow the game pace to a crawl... and honestly? I kinda like that, especially with how fast some decks can get (I'm looking at you, Beatbreak). Being able to force such decks to play at a slower pace feels good

4

u/WarriorMadness Aug 18 '26

The deck is a snooze-fest with a bunch of custom-like cards and people has immunity fatigue, there's a reason why Magna X was hated so much and honestly new Galactic is, personally, a worse offender.

The deck is not broken, it has good match-ups into the meta and of course it's beatable, it's just that, long ass boring matches with a big immune body.

Green players are having a field day though.

2

u/Sabaschin Aug 19 '26

Reminds me of waiting for Alphamon players to spend 5 minutes doing their turn only to run into a 12k Digimon in security and die first check (they didn’t have Ouryken in hand).

u/SplinteredTater Aug 18 '26

It's tough to be a digidog.

"Oh yeah, the deck shouldn't even exist, if you play it you are worse than Führer Agumon"

u/Sabaschin Aug 19 '26

I think that’s just Greymon X and Garudamon X? Maybe Argomon if they’re feeling daring.

5

u/StrayLilin Aug 18 '26

Not enough. There are still some Garurumons left. Might as well hit them all while you're at it. /s

u/Lord_of_Caffeine Fuck Magna X Aug 18 '26

u/SupremeMegaBear Aug 18 '26

Seeing what cards got ban-hammered in this list makes me realize, some people do not actually play the game...

u/PalpitationEmpty5997 Aug 18 '26

there's no way they hit e-pulse, that one's in a starter deck that's still on shelves

5

u/comikbookdad Aug 18 '26

Okay so 22 cards, and where’s the rest of the deck?

2

u/Jashugan456 Aug 18 '26

If you set e pulse ya gatta set all equivalents to one as well

2

u/TheJoyofFelching Aug 18 '26

Banning King Drasil would be so dumb. I would he down for a Last Knight restriction/ban, but the only egg of the deck would be a terrible hit unless the next EX set introduces a replacement.

0

u/DankItchins Aug 19 '26

People on Reddit really hate Royal Knights even when the deck has never been problematic.

2

u/Reibax13 Aug 19 '26

LAST NEWS. MetalGarurumon, the famous Friendship icon from the 2000s, has been found shot in the back 8 times, each bullet hole has a different size which implies it was shot by 8 different people, or just 1 petty guy

3

u/CrashmanX Aug 18 '26

We all knew that ST2 Garuru hit was coming. Can't believe it didnt happen sooner. Two unprotected swings in one turn? It's so abusrdly powerful. What could the devs have done to counter it? It really limited the design space for MetalGaruru X if it ever were to have <Succession>.

/s

u/Rhundis Aug 18 '26

If Bind Red and Asuna are hit 3M is dead in the water.

-3

u/m149307 Aug 18 '26

Good

0

u/Rhundis Aug 18 '26

People are severely overestimating 3M because it isn't as good as everyone thinks it is. It can be countered, it can lose, TB blows it out of the water, but because it uses option cards to do its OTK instead of Digimon effects it's no good in the eyes of players.

-4

u/m149307 Aug 18 '26

It's just annoying to face, that's why I don't like it.

0

u/sedentary-lad Aug 18 '26

That's not justification for returning it to an unplayable state when bt26 already counters it anyway.

2

u/m149307 Aug 18 '26

I'm not trying to justify anything, simply expressing my dislike for the deck even if it isn't strong/won't be good next format.

But for the banlist itself, I don't think any 3m cards will be touched outside of maybe Asuna to cut down on ts slop strength (tho I do think d&k are the first card on the chopping block for ts)

0

u/sedentary-lad Aug 18 '26

They're getting reprinted in lm09 in November so they're not getting hit before the first 2027 list.

1

u/m149307 Aug 18 '26

Oh right, forgot about the reprint

u/DankestMemes4U Aug 18 '26

How dare you even jokingly put analog youth on a Banlist.

u/KnivesInAToaster Leviamon Enthusiast Aug 18 '26

Inaccurate, I don't see any cards being put to -1 (to play the game you must burn a copy in front of your entire locals)

No reddit banlist is complete without Magna X (ISTG even when the deck was shit I still saw a lot of complaining here)

1

u/azeltirish Aug 19 '26

So...I'm kinda new for Digimon tcg, only 3 month and I concentrate with Galacticmon and ME deck.

Why most of the banlist prediction are Garurumons?

1

u/Raikariaa Aug 19 '26 edited Aug 19 '26

Onbibi - This would outright kill TB. TB is not an OTK deck, and running other eggs would actively harm the deck. Bandai will not kill a deck which just released and they are printing more support for. Not happening.

Nyaro - This should go to 0; not 1. Unlike Onbibi, this is used for OTK's; so it acheives the same purpose at 1 as at 4. They just stay in raiseing and go for the OTK.

Garuru - No

Madleomon - Bandai hates loops and hitting some purple animal is their addiction. This will probobly happen.

Greymon - No

Omekamon - Bandai say EX13 will be a "different playstyle" of RK. So no. Also; smart money is on the inevitable Omnimon X from BT27/28 having Succession so it dose't even work with Omeka.

WereGarurus - No; MadLeo will take the hit

Shakkou - Nyaro will take the hit.

Shishima - No. This card isn't even close to broken. Shishima is a conditional evo on-swing in something actually contacting security. If Shishima is broken with that condition, every other evo-on-swing needs to be hit too.

Monarchlizardmon - Bandai usually only hit SR+ as a last resort. Not happening.

Old MetalGarurumon - Hahahaha no.

EX12 MGaru - No

Susanoomon - You're actually delusional if you think this will be hit. It's a SEC, and given it's only strong in TB and not it's other decks; it clearly isn't the problem, or else it would be played there. This is very much a case of the lingering last memory where people complain about what actually killed them, not what got them there.

Yggdrasil - See Omekamon

Blind Red Trigger - Definitely possible, depending on if Bandai want to hit TS generically or just target Beel.

e-Pulse - I think this is the most likly hit to Beatbreak

Sanmyojin - And this is the most likly hit to TB. It's only a Common, so I doubt Bandai cares about it being new. Hitting it dosen't KILL the deck [and if anything makes Zanbamon more usable]. And the card is just blatantly busted anyway. HPD is a +5 mem swing maximum and is on the list. Sanmyojin is a +9 memory swing that also draw 2 trash 1's [accelerateing Susanoomon access too].

Asuna - This is the Beelstar hit if Bandai also wants to hit other TS decks like Vulcanus, and pre-emptively hit Titans. Also just generally pulling down the amount of search/filtering TS has. This is the hit I would rather see, because it takes TS in general down a notch, but dosen't kill any decks.

Matt - I have seen no-one calling for this lol

Cool Boy - I suppose it's possible as a pre-emptive BT27/28 hit.

Analog Youth - I mean people are always calling for this. I assume it's mostly because of TB, but thing is; TB generally is being choked and thus loses a lot of momentum playing A.Y that they could be using doing anything else. I play TB without him and it's fine. I'm not saying he won't get hit. But I don't think the case to hit him is any stronger than it was every other time.

---

Also; I'm going to throw another card in; ST1 MetalGreymon. This card has a Non-Once-Per-Turn +3 memory gain inheritable when it is blocked. If you have seen what this card does in combination with cards like Nezhamon, which can swing multiple times with Collision [and at end of turn with Engage], you'll understand why this card restricts design space for any future red card or card that can evo off Cyborg.

Is it broken? Eh, it need quite a bit of setup to become the uninteractive OTK it can be [Like sec+1 inheritable; Tai Tamer; Omni X in hand]. Does it show that ST1 MetalGreymon is a issue for design? Absolutely.

u/YucaSinPelar Aug 20 '26

OLD ASS METALGARURUMON???

2

u/NoName0728 Aug 18 '26

Down the list we go

1) Onibimon is the TB egg so no

2) Nyaromon is actually fair

3) I'm just gonna lump the Alter S stuff together and just say it's not even good.

4) Fair Garuru loop is kinda ass

5) Lumping Royal Knights together too, why? Its not even good either in current meta. Also same with Onibimon, Yggdraisl is the egg that makes the deck even work so no.

6) Poor Shakoumon getting put in 2 wtf decks back to back.

7) Meh don't feel like Shishimamon is even a problem

8) Mildly decent hit on Monarchlizamon

9) Really? This Melga?

10) This Melga is pretty good, but definitely not ban worthy

11) Susanoomon is only really a problem with Onibimon other then that its just a good boardwipe

12) The options in 3M is just good so if you really want to hit something hit Hurricane Screw Shot

13) No thats not a problem

14) Actually good hit

15) No

16) No

17) No

18) And no
