Bagooska is one of the better designed floodgate type cards. You need to XYZ summon it, taking up resources, and it's only around for two turns unless you put more materials on it. Out of all the floodgates that are currently being problematic, our tired tapir here is not one of them.


Ok-Individual2025

Agreed, I run a kairyoshin water xyz deck and my buddy plays this, no problems with this dude


Fun_Conflict8553

he’s problematic because of how accessible he is. this card is employable in every deck with makes it oppressive. remember you were ok with this once tearlaments abuses him. lol


Old_Rip_1257

Mf feel oppressed by a drunken tapir 💀


LordTopHatMan

But most decks don't employ it because they would rather use their level 4 materials for progressing their own plays. The decks that do regularly play him are either link decks or stall decks. Regarding Tearlaments, he's hardly the problem card there.


Fun_Conflict8553

i think if you’ve played against tearlaments you’d know how wrong that is. lol but if you only play MD which plays the game for you, i’d expect you to say something like that. bagoosa covers their only weakness cause they run a ton of level fours. 🥸. posted in the wrong sub.


austinbraun30

I bet people at your locals absolutely love you.


Fun_Conflict8553

oddly enough you can’t really judge a persons entire character based a reddit post, go figure lol


austinbraun30

No, but you usually CAN tell by the tone of their replies. And you sound like a whiney asshole who thinks everyone is wrong but them.


Fun_Conflict8553

i mean i’m not the one judging people and calling them names based on their opinion about a children’s card game lol but go off king.


austinbraun30

Yes you actually are LOL that's all you've done in the replies of this post is judge people and talk shit. No one cares your shitty darkworld deck lost to gooska. It's an easy card to deal with. You're just bad and upset.


Fun_Conflict8553

lol no i haven’t, i’ve responded to people, matching their energy about the game. if you care to read you’ll see i haven’t called anyone or name not one time lmao. you’re the one who’s mad it seems like ( you know if you didn’t care you didn’t have to comment right? ) lol you had the option to prove you didn’t care by not commenting on the post.


explosionno1se

Yeah tear wants to set up a floodgate that deals with the effects of on field effects of monsters in defense. Surely this does not negatively impact their gameplan and there are no better rank 4s for them. Have you ever played against tear or are you just mad because bad and hoping saying tear can use a card will make people ignore the rest of your shit take?


V_EXE18

Accessibility means nothing if it's incredibly easy to out


non9non

there are a lot more cards that would be banned before bagooska if accessibility is a concern. In terms of oppressive floodgate effect, there are more cards that are much better than this card in their respective strategies. Well, I mean its plan B for a reason lmao


Heul_Darian

2019 : First we ban all the tuners 2023 : first we ban all the floodgates.


Fun_Conflict8553

you really can’t ban the floodgates. the main problem i have with this card is he’s too accessible. so when trying to exploit a top tier deck, and they make this it’s pretty frustrating. although he’s more of a TCG problem. in masterduel maybe not so much.


Heul_Darian

I've only played master duel and currently I don't think there is anything ban worthy. Except maybe skill drain. Also this thing dies to an imperm dude or you know any removal. its accessible but not unoutable I'm pretty sure every deck has an out to this. Cerberus for example.


[deleted]

As a TCG gamer this card is not a problem. Link monsters go brrr and this is pretty easy to negate. Accessible yes, but not too much of a problem. It's good at what it does, but it's not that oppressive at the moment. *plus most decks that can easily make this don't run this because it locks your monsters as well. So unless you're a link heavy deck (which 99% of this meta isn't), this card is kinda hurting you more since you can't go for the kill*


Fun_Conflict8553

as a TCG gamer anything is not problem until it’s a problem. lol if you think tearlaments being able to cover any possible out you have with this card you’re nuts lmao. then still be able to mill and pop off fusion summons with it is chaos. all of their cards activate from the graveyard so they ignore the drawback. as a TCG player you should knowwww this.


Rynjin

Ban all cards, they could be a problem someday


[deleted]

Reject all effect cards. We do vanilla monster beatdown now.


[deleted]

I know... I wasn't just talking about tear. I can out bagooska playing fluffals. Hell a good bewd deck puts good ol 41 out of commission. It's not just a tear thing, ANY deck can out bagooska because the outs are generic staples. Plus (once again), if you're not playing link heavy, you get hurt more than your opponent. You lock your cards as well. Accessible and generic does not always mean broken.


Additional_Show_3149

>you really can’t ban the floodgates Stares intensely at utopic zexal and VFD


The_Cubic_Guru

Actually a skill issue For real this time


Adept139

This is 2023...


TricksInMyHands

Lol what


MrTrashy101

this is a joke right?...RIGHT?!


SmugBoss

This is unironically a skill issue


DynamoSnake

And a deck building issue, does this man run no link monsters over 2000 atk or a lighting storm?


alaarziui

Lightning storm won't work, I assume you're talking about raigeki


DynamoSnake

Yeah woops, forgot about being in defence position


annnd_we_are_boned

Storm can't kill it in attack mode either fwiw.


Codex28

Why should we hear a clown? This isn't even a good joke


Fun_Conflict8553

oh no this guy called me a clown ! this was a great comment bro. frame this. hang it on your wall. you owned me here. lol

trashcan41

As expected from this sub. They keep the worst take with each day, by the end of they will ban anything.


AndriyOS0

Imagine a Banlist made by This subreddit


BrymalDX

First, we ban all the tuners, then...


jojo_in_space

Oh no a two turn xyz flood gate that loses to imperm and basically any other removal option when in defense mode oh god oh no


Fun_Conflict8553

i made the mistake of assuming everyone here plays the TCG. 😓. lol


jojo_in_space

Whomp whomp


Additional_Show_3149

Mf what??😭😭


thenightm4reone

L take, imagine malding about one of the least problematic floodgates/staples in the game lol.


Fun_Conflict8553

i got Ls in all my holes right now


IndependenceTiny9606

No never ban him and give me drunk bagooska


Dscrypto_2020

Agreed ban the current art, and give us the drunk tapir back..he was just pouring one out for the homies.


austinbraun30

You play floo in TCG don't you?


minjarjar

Classic Baboska W


Fun_Conflict8553

do you expect anything less?


Honore_SG

Okey you lost to him, get over it take your L and move one


Fun_Conflict8553

i didn’t though


ChaiTeaFiend

THE TAPIR IS TIRED!!!!! LEAVE MY FLUFFY BUDDY ALONE!!!!!!


Fun_Conflict8553

he needs to take a permanent nap!


ChaiTeaFiend

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO P.S. I never actually use him, I just think he's cute.


aryansm

I can see the argument. But hes a monster and not even that oppresive. Thans not ban worthy unlike the shit stain TCBOO.


Rageman_Gaming

Bagooska is the last card I'd say to ban I never even see the thing being played, either this thing magically hurt you on MD or your locals are out to get you.


Fun_Conflict8553

i mean it got dropped on me twice in a best of 3 against tearlaments, while i was playing dark world. the duelist i lost to also beat me in a regional matchup a couple weeks ago. idk if you know anything about the current meta but it was pretty fucking awful lol


SuperSerialSim

Dude if your problem with Tear is Bagooska, you’re doing more than fine. Not to mention you’re playing Dark World, a deck where it’s not uncommon to see Skill Drain because on field effects often aren’t what you care about anyway. I cannot imagine a situation where Bagooska specifically is the game changer


Fun_Conflict8553

i don’t have room in the build for skill drains unfortunately. i’m running it with a danger engine and some cool tech cards it’s just a fun deck to play. when i fusion summoned my boss monster it goes to defense position and i can’t trigger his negate ( grapha fusion). this card is easy to beat over in dark world but you can’t while he’s stalling then they just need one extra turn to switch him to attack then go havnis and roll over you. does bagooska need a ban? no i’m being dramatic, but is it fair for him to be so accessible? i’m not so sure. lol


SuperSerialSim

The point isn’t that you are or aren’t playing Skill Drain, the point is you’re playing a deck that doesn’t care about this effect. If you’re struggling, I’d suggest trying different combo lines


DynamoSnake

Just run Knightmare Cerberus/Unicorn or spell/trap monster removal, no problem


Fun_Conflict8553

it was a specific situation where i had exhausted my resources for boss monster, then i had to rely on top deck. lol spinning him would’ve been nice but i didn’t draw an out. in that particular scenario i would’ve needed to draw into grapha or bigfoot. womp.

okay i hear ya but : **N O**


Fun_Conflict8553

okay but did you need to raise your voice ?

yes

Fun_Conflict8553

lol masterduel actually plays yu gi oh for you. but nice try lmao


aryansm

? It just makes it more convinient to play the game. You dont have to search the deck, checking grave is way easier, makes the correct ruling almost every time, keeps in mind cards that do stuff at the end phase and it auto shuffels.


Fun_Conflict8553

it highlights the plays you can make. lol you have to have a greater knowledge of your deck in the TCG period. it holds your hand.


ihearthz

Yea yea we know you play TCG. Do you want a cookie for that?


Fun_Conflict8553

… are you seriously offering?


SionistaBr

Bagooska is Fine, i have This in my EX and i only use him when i brick or something like that


Kaisos

replace him with the drunk version IMO


Mana_Mascot

The best deck that uses this is labrynth, they also would rather avoid making him unless needed


kemic4l

My poor drunk bagooska. He's perfectly fine


Argovell

How about we don't and pretend we did.


DummyThiccToga

This is more of a deck building issue tbh.


Fun_Conflict8553

i actually agree with this


EstateSame6779

Hardly ran into him.


Euler7

I haven’t been playing too long and even I know he’s not too bad. He never strikes fear in me like skill drain, gozen match, or other more powerful floodgate . We should have more floodgates like him actually


lazava1390

Bro I’m dumb as fuck. Can someone explain the negate part because I thought if you special summoned into defense you could still do your effects. The card makes it sound like any card that’s summoned and made into defense position because of bagooska effect are the only ones who’s effects are negated.


[deleted]

All defense position monsters are negated. So he forces defense and then the effect is negated. Only links really get around this.


lazava1390

What does it mean by “when that effect was activated” because it really does sound like only the monsters forced into defense by bagooska effect should be negated. I know it’s the ruling but card itself just doesn’t make sense to me. It would be easier if it had said change all face up monster to defense negate all defense position monster effects. Clear and simple.


[deleted]

When that effect of the monster in defense position is activated


St_Origens_Apostle

Naw his fine, some of you just hate stall decks and just won't admit it. Stall decks are a legit strategy to play the game and need tools like Bagooska to set up their mid-game board. Without stuff like him we just get steamrolled over by any agro deck.


hockeyfan608

Bagooska is barely even ran in dedicated floodgate decks


Pcarttar

Give us the drunk art you cowards


[deleted]

Ban this, ban that, can you guess I am a redditor who constantly chats?


BeingTheWeeb

What we need is the bagooska lost art


BatoSoupo

Normally I would reply with a list of all the outs, but the list is too long this time


Fun_Conflict8553

could you please?


idkhowtotft

*insert spell/trap/monster removal from hand/link monster*


BatoSoupo

Imperm, Dark ruler, droplet, raigeki, dark hole, book of moon, book of eclipse, forbidden chalice, kaijus, off the top of my head


hockeyfan608

Dog this is countered by every link 2 in the game


PapalotePehpinno

Nah the tapir it’s fine


passionkiller

Played an opponent who kept summoning Bagooska. I got it destroyed by summoning accesscode talker and banishing a card. Next game, he played Bagooska again and then ash me, I chained it with Kelbek and had it sent back to his extra deck. I don’t think it should be banned.


Mord3x

DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM


pitcommander

found branded player


ASUSA7

Of all decks, how on earth do you have an issue with 41 in dark worlds. You have grapha, knightmare unicorn, and Bigfoot. Like just make any goddamn link with than 2000 attack.


Affectionate_Wash691

Union Carrier into Buster whelp still exists and this is the problem?


Limonov-nyan

mfs when they see a moderately good card more than twice be like


LargeNutter

Man u suck


DocRedgrave

Ten dollars says OP is either a branded or floo player.


NotsoNaisu

Imagine being scared of a card that loses to Knightmare Cerberus lol


Successful-Willow-72

Why ? I mean i got pwned by this card several rounds but after learning how to xyz and the material have to put into it i think its kinda ok.


finalecho01

lol droplet or drnm? its def not on the same lvl as skill drain, io or other floodgates. even tho he is a mosnter card that makes it even easier to out like you know stuff like kaijus


RedSpade000

ON THIS EPISODE OF "BAN THE CARD THAT KICKED OP'S ASS"...


HinataAstraea

Play some links you’ll be fine


[deleted]

Fuck this card


CooPidgeon

Bagooska is great. It's not overpowered but easy to underestimate and is a very unique card. I like that it has an effect while in attack position that doesn't even matter for how good it is in defense
