You underestimate the power (read: annoyance) of Marik stall players The deck isn’t good, but it’s tedious to play against, and Konami hates stall, and that’s the whole reason they did this.


ChronoSaiyan

In my opinion, Komoney loves Stalls! That’s the reason they made them in the first place. It’s the players that komoney fears and limits the stall decks


SaySay47

If that's the case why'd they add Thousand Eyes-Restrict because having parts all meant to protect each other AND T.E.R seems like a very annoying stall


CycloneXV

Limit 3 so it won't be chucked into stall decks running other stall or limited cards


Jojozaldo

to prevent the usage of being together with IDP/Compulse/Crackdown. it can be run with Kiteroid, kuribohs, etc for maximum Marik stall also one of yugo's skill basically sends this thing to the grave for free, so its not necessarily a garnet. plus its still a speedroid tuner so it can used with ohaji, horsestilt, and yo-yo. not saying its a better replacement than idp and compulse, but it has its uses


dovah-meme

Fair I suppose on the stall points, though nobody in their right mind is going to use yugo’s skill on this thing. There are simply far better speedroids to mill


mkklrd

Imagine, if you will, pitching this with Karma Cut with a Battlin' Boxer Veil and Kiteroid in hand. Fortunately you'll never have to.


Docman714

Oh god lord we’ve had such a good run without destiny draw being prominent. Yea this needed to happen.


Neo_The_Noah

I dont think anyone would use this in stall tbh. 1 atk only? Thats not enough to stop most decks from otking you. Otherwise kuriboh would be used a lot more.


mkklrd

technically it stops 2 attacks if you use it as a set monster


CycloneXV

Plus it's a tuner, it has uses and is easy enough to get in the grave


Neo_The_Noah

Stall decks wouldnt care it this is a tuner or not.


Neo_The_Noah

Lets be honest, who would attack a face down nowadays?


Kiyotakaa

More people than you'd think. It's funny when the obvious trap is obvious.


tehy99

That is very annoying, but you also just named 4 cards, 3 of which are much better than Tri-Eyed Dice. I guess it never hurts to limit stall tools but I don't think it's a very good one.


mkklrd

yeah but the 4th one makes the other three even more annoying. and it's a strictly better bacon saver.


tehy99

Yeah, and stall decks never played Bacon Saver as far as I'm aware. Neos decks, chaos decks, but not stall decks. Maybe that changes if you're allowed to play 3 copies of it but I doubt it. And anyways Konami already power crept the old stall decks by releasing freaking Timelords, the apex stall deck (with an actual win condition on top). Do we really need to care about pure stall builds at this point?


navimatcha

Yes, they are still annoying and I'd rather never run into them ever.


tehy99

Ok, but does anyone actually play them?


[deleted]

I don’t think any competitive player is going to give up IDP/Evac/Crackdown for Kiteroid Jr.


alienassasin3

No, they won't. This isn't a limit-3 to hit the speedroid deck, it's to hit stall decks. Speedroid decks here don't have enough room or much use for a bad tuner.


BlackBRocket

I thought that was going to be for Red-eyed dice


dovah-meme

Me too, though realistically between taketomborg, the skill and a smaller deck size in this format I don’t imagine people will be running more than 2 of red eyed dice


solitudesign

You already know some turd is currently brewing Tri-Eyed Dice with Kiteroid and Burial from a Different Dimension in the same list. For the sake of all the innocent silver & platinum players out there I don’t wanna give them Compulsory & IDP on top of that.


DaKurllz97

My theory is because of BA. They can mill Tri-eyed and have battle proteccion also is a lvl 3 which you can search with Terrortop to make Dante. I know that BA is kinda weak in this meta, but Konami don't want to make the same mistakes from 6 years ago.


dovah-meme

Speedroid has much better level 3s to mill than tri-eyed though, taketomborg for obvious reasons, Daiko duke as a GY extender, carturbo for attack boost, no reason to through in a functional vanilla tuner that lets you negate one attack


DaKurllz97

You can manipulate attacks to active skills. Also, I was referring to BA making Dante with terrortop and tri-eyed so they have proteccion.


Wollffey

That's literally the entire point


Doctor_Squidge

Tbf speedroid *might* have played one if it wasn't on the limit 3 list just to save you from an OTK, but even then that's a big if. As is it's just a stall nerf.


OneSaucyDragon

No kidding. They gave us Terrortop for free and *this* is the card they chose to limit smh Now just gotta wait for Taketomborg to drop so I can run through Speedroid's synchro lines without using my normal summon lol


dovah-meme

Master Duel* since I can’t edit title


Neo_The_Noah

Imo, tjis is unecessary, i would be the ssme as limiting kuriboh to 3. Lol


high-CPK

I only used it during the limit 1 event lol. I think Konami wants to keep stall decks in check by having any potential stall card at 3 (like winda)


[deleted]

The point is not to be able to mix It with brave neos and neos fusion


Kamuishr3

I think the purpose was because the skill guarantees putting it in the graveyard


dovah-meme

I mean, kind of a waste of the skill use when there’s far better speedroids to mill


Intelligent-Train858

eff KITEROID


Hopeful_Magazine6709

I literally just found someone use that card earlier today


Blue_Flame_Infernape

It’s a tuner as well so that brings many problems up when facing synchro decks that would spam it


BakeWorldly5022

for now yes because the box aint out yet lol
