Normally, to weaken a strong deck, it's enough to ban key cards. And there aren't many cards in a set that play a key role. So most decks are restricted, and only 1 key card needs to be banned. However, in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh, there are several decks with a large number of banned cards in the series, and these decks have all set off a bloody storm in the competitive environment at the time, and have even been branded as super-mainstream.
The first is the origin of the super-mainstream deck: Conquering Dragons.
The cards of the dragon series are composed of four types of dragon monsters in feng shui and hot land, and each category is divided into 1 large and 1 large dragon, a total of 8 cards.
How fortunate it is that both large and small Zhenglong have been locked up in a small black room with a banned card table by K Society, making Zhenglong the first legendary series in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh where the whole family has been banned.
Then there's the deck that changed the fusion: Lamentations of Tears.
Whether it was in the past or in the future, the series of Lamentations is destined to be a legend that can never be avoided in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh.
Although only the daffodils are imprisoned in the small black house, the 4 lower-level monsters in the entire series, as well as the field magic card, are limited to 1 in the forbidden card table.
If there is still a time lag between the big and small dragons in the forbidden card table, the Tear Lamentation Clan is really a family lying neatly in the forbidden card table.
One word evaluation: absolutely.
Finally, there is the change of the oversized deck: the Twelve Beasts.
The card design of the Twelve Beasts series is inspired by the Chinese zodiac, and there are naturally twelve key monster cards. At that time, in order to weaken the twelve beasts, the K Society imprisoned the dragons and cows in the twelve beasts in a small black house, and the rats were restricted, and at the same time, the magic card bureau of the house was also restricted.
Comparing the whole family of Zhenglong and Zhu Tear, the twelve beasts who only entered a quarter may be a little inadequate in terms of banning cards. However, compared to Zhenglong, there was still a Magister Anti-Dragon at that time, and Zhu Tear lacked pie chart information due to the general environment, and the Twelve Beasts series had real data at that time to prove that its share of the pie chart was as high as 70%.
It is precisely because of this that after the K Society restricted the Twelve Beasts, the Twelve Beasts began to be called "Nine and Three-Quarters Beasts" by the card guys, which was a very hellish joke.
