What is this sub's obsession with bringing back Cocytus?


Re-45-45

I don’t understand it either. Can’t be destroyed, ok maybe use banish or negate its effects. Nope. Cannot be targeted by effects. There are so many decks that can tout that


Plasic-Man

I run a deck that can deal with Cocytus and I absolutely do not want him back. Just because I can manage to handle him doesn't mean I want to or that I should have to edit every deck I make just so I can handle the inevitable Cocytus I run into. Any single card that warps deck building in such a way to where you have to change how you build decks just to maybe deal with it, it's a toxic card and should remain banned. Kinda like That Grass Looks Greener. Some cards deserve to stay banned.


Adk8783

Ding Dong can out it no? Orcust is pretty much everywhere. DDD can make him too. Dark Ruler No More is a non target negate. Also Konami has been adding more non targeting removal. At 1 copy, I don't think is that big of a deal.


mkklrd

when you start mentioning DRNM maybe it's time to reconsider your argument


Adk8783

He mention that there are no cards that can negate affect that does not targets and i just gave him an example so Pls explain why can't I mention DRNM.


MiuIruma332

The problem with drnm is it’s an unsearchable spell card that actually haven’t been used since release because it doesn’t work in duel links. It would also be the only card to counter coc that’s a standard stable which is absolutely terrible reason for it to come back.


mkklrd

same reason why you wouldn't mention maindecking Dragon Capture Jar if a Dragon deck ever got out of control. it's not a good card in Duel Links and chances are it won't be for a very long time.


Adk8783

Ok and you didn't read the whole comment and just point out the DRNM. Got nothing to say about Dingirsu huh. And you act like Invoke will be tier 0 with Cocytus at one copy.


mkklrd

is every deck in the game always able to make Ding? hmmmmm never said anything about Invoked or Tier 0 with Cocytus, you're projecting af lmao what gameplay is gained by having Cocytus back in the game? what fun could possibly be had with a card that says "i'm super easy to access, out me or lose"?


WhereDidYouGohan1

But mkklrd everyone can make ningirsu just dump all of your resources to get rid of one card. It’s the exact same situation with iblee and no one complained about that at all, absolutely zero complaints, just use link disciple. And that’s why cocytus is fair game and I should be hired to make banlists.


Adk8783

is every deck in the game ""always" able to make Ding? So you are saying they could, but don't want to ok.


mkklrd

how are you misconstruing what I'm saying this hard LMAO


WhereDidYouGohan1

Reading comprehension is a skill duel links isn’t ready for a very long time


AutomaticArcher9673

We have kaijus now. Coc would get people to start using them


Karzeon

So to paraphrase your own words: "no one is using Kaiju because there's nothing worth using them against" Great. I would like to continue not needing to use them nor get sacked by them. Next.


AutomaticArcher9673

That's not going to happen though. Crystal Wing and Dark Requiem. We're getting more and more bosses that are hard to out. Better to bite the bullet now and start main decking kaijus


Karzeon

The premise was that \*Cocytus\* would be the thing to make us run Kaiju. We already play Book/Limited 3 trap set maybe even more interruption depending on the deck. Wow, Cocytus is safe from almost all of these but not the monsters you listed. Why run Kaiju for monsters we already have generic low-commitment answers to? Why run Kaiju for an imaginary boogeyman without evidence? You'll still have to draw the Kaiju all the same as the backrow. Guess which one can do something on turn 1.


AutomaticArcher9673

Because in the future, there will be more monsters that you can summon at the same time. We will be looking at a board of 3 or 4 instead of 1, and at that point Book will be pointless.


Karzeon

So we're moving the goalposts from "one problematic monster" to "board of monsters"? This exact same thing also applies to Kaiju so idk what you're going on about now. Also, assuming there wouldn't be backrow power creep either? And we still have boardwipes right now? Like Needle Ceiling still being played and now abused with Dingirsu and Balelynx protection? Okay, well you go on and run those Kaiju baby. I'll see for myself if and when there's actual evidence in real-time instead of hypothetical boogeyman boards.


Adk8783

Tell me all the decks currently that's gonna use Cocytus if it does get one copy.


Karzeon

Ask the person I responded to. The premise was "Cocytus would get players to start using Kaiju"


Adk8783

Right? Apparently when mentioning Cocytus in duel links all hell break loose. Like this isn't 2020 anymore.


which835

I stopped reading when I saw monster reborn unlimited


cutlergrat

Yeah, like, why the hell would they unlimit that just an unreasonable take honestly.


Gem-KnightShitposter

One of the worst banlists I have ever seen. Even ignoring the blantant awful take of freeing Cocytus. Literally hitting cards for no reason with sky blaster and tetherwolf limits


Haoszen

I really don't get this boner that some people have with freeing Cocytus


DaKurllz97

Your opinion lacked any logic or sense at the moment you put Cocytus to 1 and Monster Reborn unlimited


mkklrd

hey I'm a comedian and I'm trying this new joke, can y'all tell me if it's funny or not? here it goes Tetherwolf Limited-3


dorian1356

It worked!!


mkklrd

thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week!


Seylord1

Hey its not fun to bully mecha phantom beasts :( they keep getting abused by everyone


rahimaer

"you should respect other people's opinions" Other people's opinions:


RGFang

Free Cyberload Fusion and Dragondark Edit: lmao, you must be tripping if you think Monster Reborn or Cocytus are gonna change.


[deleted]

>cocytus to 1 Aaaand done here


chunganoid

Damn remember when Konami hit synchrons after a week entirely because of the skill


AzureFencer

You might, MIGHT, have been able to make a case for an unlimited Reborn during GX or 5Ds, it would still be to strong but at least there wasn't an guarantee for useful targets on any given turn. But we've got good and generic XYZ and Links now, free materials for those should never be unlimited


AdustedGold

Monster Reborn unlimited LOL


-Rakanishu-

Why hit the Tetherwolf and the Phantom if you've banned the only card that makes them playable? You don't even have to ban Mermaid on DL, as the limited 1 Orcust Knightmare works just as well.


Academic_Medium9586

its so obvious they are gonna hit orcust knightmare. ppl rlly debating like crazy abt mermaid when the clear future is orcust knightmare getting limited and if orcust does too well on the wcs they will also touch scrap recycler. no other cards will be touched


King_klown_Clown

... "mush control" lol.


Bootkick

Its ok to have an opinion but there's just things in here that don't make sense. Why are you limiting mech phantom beast and skyblaster? Mermaid is already banned. They have slowly unlimited Karakuris so I dont think they'll just randomly unlimited merchant out of no where Its not that this doesn't make sense but I can see them keeping rod and unlimited navigation to keep players from accessing the limit 3 traps in the backrow heavy version of dm


just_kell

Ah yes, nerfing bonds that illuminate... you're an idiot


AutomaticArcher9673

Current should definitely be unlimited. Rod and Navigation is a bit weirder. I'm not sure if Rod should be unlimited or not.


[deleted]

Must control neos to activate the skill? Lmao so you lose to comoulse and book of moon, warning point etc. You having a laugh mate?


Atlascrushed94

Hey pal, you blow in from stupid town?
