I love how a card that then got banned (Master Piece) went and gave powers to a bunch of cards that then got banned (Zoodiacs) and went to fight a card that then got banned (VFD)

[ryuuohdeltaplus]

Now that I think of it, Sky Strikers was actually the next Zoodiac, not Magical Musket. They have one monster that can go through a lot of their extra deck ones, doesn't have a clear wincon, and can play the long control grindgame.

[gameoverlord]

It's interesting to see how a rather small Archetype has so many banned or limited cards that can be used, guess the phrase "Big things come on small packages" suits these Zodiac flurries.

[ConspoAlt]

woa i never knew how cute the main deck zoodiacs are. now im considering making a pure zoodiac deck in master duel, considering drident is not banned there

[Youboremenow]

Get this man to 40k already! I wanna see the morphtronic video!!! :)

[mill_ania]

Not gonna lie, at this point in YGO's power level, Ratpier to 2 is very much fine. IMO because, one, Malicious "exist" in that state, and also how ZEUS and UDF, while rare, are known variable people can out, so even Ratpier allowing for easy access to both of them on field isn't truly that problematic, not to mention the top decks in the meta (Tear and Spright) give no two shits about Zoodiacs and their endboards, nor any decks that play Zoodiacs can actually contest these 2.

Barrage is iffy, but maybe an errata of "this card can't target itself" or an HOPT clause on it, or something like that, would tone it down to be fairer.

Broadbull tho? My dude need an errata, unironically. Generic SOPT searcher that can, just, cheat itself out and recurse infinitely is insane.

[Aides]

I feel that drident could be at one because of power creep. Mostly because of dpe being it but better because it can infinitely revive itself

[tulpabubble]

In a AA Zeus world, BoarBow is actually the best Zoo, it lets Zoodiac be more of an engine than an archetype, it can add some simple but powerful combos for almost any deck with room for a few Zoos.

[danielramsey]

Dammit, I gotta join the Patron for the D/D explained!

[xaldreca]

I feel like we could bring Ratpier to 2. The game has advanced enough, and she can join Malicious in the Permanent Semi-Limit Jail.

[CarDaMax]

15:50 It looks to me like Bunnyblast is doing her best Usada Pekora impression (War criminal rabbit girl Vtuber)

[renaldyhaen]

Master Duel, please at least semi-limited Raptier.

[fabianbeteta]

Zoodiac has a bad reputation with the banlist.

[alkhemia]

One of my fav archetypes I miss fusion sub zoo days good times

[genericfakename]

If I had to guess, it would be semi-limited. Seems a bit like Malicious in that it's effect could get absurd with 3, but is merely pretty good at 2. Going down to 1 would be basically the same as banning it, as giving up a normal summon is not worth a restricted entomb like that.

[abicrystalwing]

My guess is Raptier is banned.

Edit: Lmfaooo, that's even funnier than being banned. Being limited just makes its effect useless.

[creeperboy]

15:53 well, she is not so cute after all, uh? 🤣🤣

Also at the other zoodiacs, their terrified 😂

[jamesbrincefield]

You should absolutely take his advice and look up Ram Ram Ranch.

[Yumi]

Hey! Um... I am just playing for fun with my partner (we both are like beginners) and I want a really easy to play pure Zoodiac deck without Zeus and probably with most of the Zoodiac cards used. Ban list doesn't matter. Could you please help me?

[dragonmaster]

Mayakashi had a similar gimick: Sychro Ladder
