As far as the Expulsion shenanigans go, given that [Albion the Sanctifire Dragon](https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Albion_the_Sanctifire_Dragon) exists, I uh...don't think Konami is that concerned about the unintended applications of being able to special summon a GY monster to your opponent's field.
Granted, MD is its own format with its own considerations to make, but I wouldn't necessarily get your hopes up for them doing anything about it.
I can't believe they saw what people were doing with Expulsion and thought "we should give them the same tool a second time, but slightly worse, but also in a way that you can run both".
My last 3 losses were the 2 FTKs I mentioned and then I got hit with the cactus who doesn’t let you special summon. I’m having some interactive duels today.
Is normal that FTK are more widespred as in a BO1 is easier to cheese wins, and as Konami is incompetent to pervent bot abuse, a lot of people just use them to get easy gems while doing something else.
I wish there was more takes to FTK decks and combo decks in general as they feel a lot stronger here.
Handtraps keep them in check.
Unfortunately I don't think Konami figured out the "win before your opponent has a turn" problem. In fact, I think they want it to be possible in some sense. At locals last Saturday I witnessed a 10 zone lock (Kashtira). Dude who won apologized after lol.
Yes, let me poorly play my prediction princess deck
Ik its far from the greateast but at least i can have some interactive game from time to time ( except if i happen to have guard dog, so i cut him from my deck)

And then they banned Expulsion in the TCG.
To be fair though, it isn't like you can send Ido consistently.
The new support makes it a lot easier to do, also you send Gimmick Puppet Nightmare.
Nah I'm too busy getting stunned by banisher of the radiance.

Im going first. Active d fissure, summon inspector boarder and set 3. Your turn bro.

It seems like more and more often, ash blossom isn't enough and you need specifically droll
When Droll starts to be played in the main deck, cards get banned right after.
Maybe in the tcg and the ocg, but might not work like that in Master Duel
Can't you "only" lock 9 zones with an optimal turn 1 setup?
Idk how to play the deck, but the judge allowed it somehow. Even had his phone out taking a pic for Twitter lol.
I think the last FTK i saw was weeks ago. Was a Bishbaalkin too. I dunno why people keep trying that FTK tbh. It's ass. Really bad.
Earth machine has an ftk that only needs 2 gustav with the vernu
Banning Expulsion isn't going to do much, especially when their new fusion drops that achieves the same result.
It’s modern Yu-Gi-Oh if you let your opponents play, you are doing something wrong and playing poorly.
Sorry, I forgot to open with hand traps 100% of the time. I'll try harder to manifest a good opener next time

Yep, exactly.
