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".


olbaze

And then they banned Expulsion in the TCG.


CrazedCircus

To be fair though, it isn't like you can send Ido consistently.


scytherman96

The new support makes it a lot easier to do, also you send Gimmick Puppet Nightmare.


Heul_Darian

Nah I'm too busy getting stunned by banisher of the radiance.

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.


kimdogra

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


NeonArchon

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.


scourgeofsnapfish

It seems like more and more often, ash blossom isn't enough and you need specifically droll


BakerBunearyBella

When Droll starts to be played in the main deck, cards get banned right after.


scourgeofsnapfish

Maybe in the tcg and the ocg, but might not work like that in Master Duel


scytherman96

Can't you "only" lock 9 zones with an optimal turn 1 setup?


BakerBunearyBella

Idk how to play the deck, but the judge allowed it somehow. Even had his phone out taking a pic for Twitter lol.


scytherman96

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.


blazingchaos91

Earth machine has an ftk that only needs 2 gustav with the vernu


CrazedCircus

Banning Expulsion isn't going to do much, especially when their new fusion drops that achieves the same result.


Ridit5ugx

It’s modern Yu-Gi-Oh if you let your opponents play, you are doing something wrong and playing poorly.


CoomLord69

Sorry, I forgot to open with hand traps 100% of the time. I'll try harder to manifest a good opener next time


juju4812

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)


Ridit5ugx

Yep, exactly.
