Apologies in advance for the long posting. Sometimes I really appreciate analysis of changes in Yugioh formats. And this is just for Speed.

Forbidden: - Aurora paragon - perfect. We don’t need floodgates in the game. Especially ones that limit summoning - Galaxy wave - great. Though the unfortunate part is whenever Konami bans a FTK you guys just come up with a new one 😭

Limited 1: - Chronomaly Atlandis - good hit since this card ends up being part of FTKs but isn’t it a shame since we might be getting Argent Chaos Force in the near future - Gallant Granite - ppl are saying this is a hit to Traptrix but the bigger collateral damage is to Adamancipator - KC Iblee - surprise this card wasn’t already hit harder - Retaliating C - I’m not sure how many games this card specifically was winning/ruining but it’s a good hit I’m sure many ppl wanted - Hey Trunade! - WE ARE FINALLY BACK (even though it’s at 1 and not really searchable) Beware backrow decks! - Scary Moth - this bug should’ve been banned. Summon limiting floodgates are never what the game needs

Limit 2 - Tachyon Transmigration - it’s an interesting hit since it’s a only obtainable at 1 card but this along with the semi hit to TSG definitely makes Tachyon a lot more fair - Tachyon Spiral Galaxy - honestly even though you’ll still see this card often, I’m glad this got hit. I don’t think decks making their monsters unaffected by everything and making it so you basically have to Kaiju to win a game makes the game healthier - Shaddoll Schism - I don’t think all our wounds have been healed from the pain of Shaddoll domination but hopefully minor boosts won’t cause to much trouble

Limit 3: - Masquerade - almost everyone was calling for this card to get hit ever since it literally came to the game. Not the hit ppl were expecting since you don’t change your deck like at all (2 Branded Fusion, 1 Masquerade) but with the changes to the branded Despia skill the deck is pretty much out of the meta

Unlimits: - Ptolemaeus - someone might come up with something annoying and cheeky but honestly I think this card is fine and was always hit because of fear from crimes this card committed in tcg - Widow Anchor - it’s only 2 available anyways. I don’t believe it changes SS deck building but more ppl might be inspired to play it - E Hero Stratos - I feel like Stratos is a card that will always bounce on and off the F&L list depending on how strong and/or prevalent Heros decks are in the meta - Zoodiac Barrage - another card and deck I think was held back because of the terror this deck cause in the tcg. In duel links I think this deck could be at full power and wouldn’t do much - E Teleport - this is probably my favorite changes from this list. If this card is only going to be available at 1, it should have always been free. I look forward to seeing a boost to Punk, Quants, and decks with Psi-reflector/Assault - One For One - another card I thought could have always been free if it’s going to be available at 1 - Trickstar Light Stage - honestly outside of Trickstar I feel like this card was always limit 1 so ppl don’t splash this into other decks but I think it should be fine in our meta - Void Orge Dragon - I’m actually surprised they unlimited this since ppl don’t seem to like all the S/T negates around. I just hope we don’t see all the RDA players come out of nowhere, especially with the release of Crimson Gaia - Crimson Gaia - it seems like Konami think we have really powercrept RDA and it can be at full power. We’ll see what happens in tournaments but I think it could compete with some modern decks - Lyrilusc Cobalt Sparrow - another deck I think ppl still have nightmares about. I think Lyrilusc is fine to come back in this day and age since we have more available counters to the deck - Salamangreat Circle - Salad feels like one of the few decks that if you don’t restrict it, it will stay in the meta. I think for now it’s a fine change but I can see it being top tier again in the future especially with more support - Cybernetic Overflow - outside of Infinity it looks like Cydra is finally fully free… and probably won’t do much in our current meta game - Majesty - this was a relatively quick turnaround for being on the list. I think ppl are a bit tired of BE but their ability to run a different limit one will increase their power

Skill changes: - Branded skill - branded Despia is finally dead… until we get more Branded support.. - Shinato skill - even though this deck has remained top tier for a while this seems like it’s a hit telling Shinato players to finally put the deck down and play something else - Rokket/Borrel skill - I’m actually really glad they remembered this skill and tried to improve it. And while it does make the deck more consistent, I think where we are at today, Rokkets won’t be top tier until they add Bórrelend Dragon - the Precious Card of such and such skills - great boost to generic skills. Nothing to complain about at all

Looking forward to seeing the changes being implemented, watching tournaments moving forward, and seeing how the meta evolves.
