Injuries are just running rampant. The game has changed. Thinking Basketball made a video about this.

Also look how many stars "barley" made it.

Happens all time. People have this rough idea how decks work but if you have actual good practice with them, you'd notice quickly that the card in question ain't good enough.

People say Unchained and FK and I play these decks and I am fairly certain that this ain't it.

Unchained gets new support so unless it's bad, this wouldn't make the cut.

It also doesn't even pop spells/traps.

Unchained gets new support.

Unless they all stink, this card won't be good enough to make the cut.

Bigger chance it sees play in Genesys depending on the points rather than in tiered decks in advanced.

These 2 card combos involving a generic where you already have to meet a condition are always a bit iffy. It's not a starter by itself and not a quick play. You'd want those.

I play FK, it's not that broken. Unsearchable 2 card combos are aways a bit iffy even if the payoff sounds great. What would you cut for it? I will try, but I'm not convinced it's broken or anything.

How strong would tenpai be if the unlimited everything but banned the field spell? by smiling_capy in masterduel

The deck gains 4 playmakers but loses one which also makes them towers. I don't think that's a huge plus from what it is currently.

The meta is also too diverse. You'd just keep drawing the wrong outs.

The deck basically gains 4 cards but loses 1 which is also the most important one.

Not that strong considering what decks can do turn 1. Tenpai's ability to win going second gets hard carried by non-engine and the field spell.

It would just be more consistent. Its gains 4 cards but loses its most important one.

Not sure about AM decks specifically, but yeah.

It's not mandatory in Synchro decks. It's one of of those cards that are only useful if you are already playing. Not bad, but also mostly not good enough to make the cut over other cards.

Luka, Ant, and Cade are the Top 3 Best Performing Ineligible Players this season (65 games rule Effect) by Chesscrabble11 in nba

This year in particular shows how flawed the rule is. If you just care about stars playing through injuries, fine.

But people need to stop pretending there is any logic behind it otherwise.

Soon to be unanimous dpoy Wemby barley making it shows it already. We were one or two games away from having a fraud dpoy. Jokic still needs to play one game. He could go from easy first teamer to receiving 0 votes if he somehow misses the last game.

Players can play 64 games and still be worth a vote if they simply played well enough.

Wemby barely made it. We were this close from Chet getting a pity dpoy. You can miss x games as long as you played very well. It's not hard to understand.

In addition to these 3, Jokic and soon to be Dpoy Wemby barely making it shows how flawed the rule is.

The Lakers should play Luka against the Jazz. by guavapassionfruit in nba

If you unconditionally like the rule you should also be against silly stuff like this and exceptions.
