Once again there are some interesting movements. We have finally seen the one (or two cards) that are solemnly responsible for the burn looping, are finally getting the banhammer. The ban of Magical Explosion is also interesting, but it should be noted that it was used as a burn tech with Sky Strikers (and they have a LOT of Spells to run with).

It appears that the Magician Pendulum deck is currently still hugely popular even with the hit on Limiting both Double Iris Magician and Supreme King Darkwurm. Unlike TCG which foresaw the only immediate ban on both Astrographer Sorcerer and Double Iris Magician , OCG has decided to Limit Astrographer together with its main kingmaker, Electrum. This is more than enough to cripple the deck further.

The return of Shurit into OCG will definitely spark a lot of discussions, as he is the main engine for Nekroz which was hugely popular in 2015 before he was axed to oblivion. As well as the slow up-movement of both Construct and Winda.

Discuss away!
