Why is magical stone excavation semi limited

Black Hole. Mystical Tornado for your ultimate offering. Just about any Spell or Trap card can destoy them. But of course that is a off-chance.

I load my solar flare deak with negator direct damege and fire cards the opponents life points go down so fast they often die before they can play anything over 6 stars this card helps burning land continuas magic both players take points off damege every standby phase.

I prefer A Alien deck, through I can never get the cards I need. The deck is realy tough to win with. Fun to play with but hard to win like D heros or psykicks.

I like lightsworn cards. Thay do make me discard 10 cards a turn but the damedge that does is incredable!! If I dont get the cards I need for that wich almost never happens I can still muscle it through with some good light monsters I have in like felgrand dragon. Came off due to lack of use in the current meta. Can destroy any face-up card your opponent controls without targeting when it's Summoned. Can be searched with Artifact Sanctum and Artifact Ignition.

Can be reused with Artifact Failnaught or Call of the Haunted. Can negate any effect that affects the Deck, disrupting most plays in the current game and blocking combos key to the function of the Deck, which can turn a Duel one-sided. Amazing Searcher. Key card in Mermail Decks. Also allows other Sea Serpents to attack directly, therefore gaining Atlantean Marksman 's effect. Universal Nuke. See also: Debris-Hime Deck.

Top Decks wouldn't really use more than one in their Extra Deck anyways. Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. Honest can be used on its first attack, then the 2nd attack would be deadly. Basically a better Chaos Sorcerer below.

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind. Can be Special Summoned in Blackwing Decks very easily. A reusable permanent Shrink. Universal Tuner. However, Blackwings haven't done much in a long time, so it was brought down to 3. Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow. Can easily turn battles around in Blackwing Decks. Unlike Honest , it can even be used when attacking directly for massive damage.

Blackwings aren't as good as they once were so this came back to 3. Breaker the Magical Warrior. Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. Was formerly Forbidden due to a lack of a once per turn restriction, allowing you to bounce cards with its effect multiple times per turn and reuse your own cards for loops and OTKs.

Now, it has been errata'd so it can only be used once per turn, and can only bounce your opponent's cards, not your own. Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Rooster.

Key card in Fire Fists. Fire Fists aren't relevant anymore though, so it went back to 3. Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit. Key card in Fire Fist 3-Axis Deck. Also reusable via Rekindling and Crane Crane , and can be returned to your hand via Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Lion Emperor to start the combo all over again. Burner, Dragon Ruler of Sparks.

After their "adult" counterparts were Forbidden, these cards came back to 3. Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts. Reactan, Dragon Ruler of Pebbles. Stream, Dragon Ruler of Droplets. Can be a good beatstick for 1 turn.

Sets up the Graveyard for many Decks. When it dies, you draw 1, so no advantage lost. Can be doubled up with Machine Duplication. Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End. Sends cards rather than destroying, thus cards like Stardust Dragon and Starlight Road cannot stop it.

Previously, if you used its effect while you controlled a monster like Sangan , you could easily gain an advantage over your opponent since they would be topdecking and you would have a monster. However, it has since received an errata which makes it a Nomi monster, inflicts damage based on only the opponent's cards, and prevents other card effects from being activated for the rest of the turn.

Was a key card in the infamous Yata-Garasu Lockdown. Can be Special Summoned easily, decent effect. However, relatively low ATK. With the rise of Chaos Decks , getting this out is even easier than before. Searchable with Justice of Prophecy.

Came off the list due to its lack of use in the meta, and Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning is considered better anyways. Adds any Chronomaly card from your Deck to your hand other than itself when Normal Summoned, mainly Chronomaly Crystal Skull who then searches another copy of this card , and Chronomaly Golden Jet , who can be used to make easy Rank 5 Xyz Summons with this card or with Artifact monsters.

Has decent ATK. Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss. Key card in Burning Abyss. Coach Soldier Wolfbark. Key card in 4-axis Fire Fist Decks. Can be searched easily with Fire Formation - Tenki.

Constellar Ptolemy M7. Good effect. Automatically usable after one of your other Constellar Xyz Monsters runs out of Materials. Key card for the Evigishki Gustkraken hand loop, which is not relevant anymore. Can be Special Summoned easily. Good ATK. Usable in many Decks. However, there is an increasing number of newer monsters with effects similar to this card, and an increasing number of newer Decks that can Special Summon "a bunch of monsters in one turn", so older Decks need this.

Also, the opponent can use Chimeratech Fortress Dragon against you if you're using machines as well e. Morphtronics, Salvo, Gadgets. Hit back when Warrior Toolbox Decks were Tier 1. Powerful in a different way to its similar counterparts D. Warrior and D.

Warrior Lady , as it needs to be destroyed to fire off its banishment effect, meaning it can attack low-power monsters without wasting its effect. The Warrior Toolbox is irrelevant now, so this is gone from the list.

Similar to D. Assailant , but this card had the option to remove the monster, or not to remove the monster. Ultimately, the lack of need to be destroyed by battle to use its banishment effect would mean this came off the list a while after Assailant. Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss. Can replace or even recycle another copy of itself once it is sent to the Graveyard through any means, and can also be used to easily Xyz Summon Beatrice, Lady of the Eternal Limited in the TCG.

Specific destructive power. High ATK. Dark Magician of Chaos. It's a strong monster with a very good effect; its effect even works when it's Special Summoned, making it more powerful than Magician of Faith, who is also Unlimited. Dark Armed Return Decks were godly with this card. However, this card was errata'd so that it can only retrieve one Spell per turn, during the end phase of when it's Normal or Special Summoned, allowing it to come off the list. Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow.

Capable of bouncing your own card back to the hand. Was capable of forming an OTK with Makyura the Destructor and Call of the Haunted where, whilst under Makyura's effect, you would revive this card with Call of the Haunted, damage your opponent, bounce Call of the Haunted, destroy this card, and repeat. Makyura was then Forbidden and later received an erratum to stop loops like this , and this card has little use otherwise.

Was formerly Forbidden due to being able to tribute any number of monsters on your field during either of your main phases to create easy OTKs, and a minimum of damage by itself in some cases. Now, they changed the effect so Dark Strike Fighter can only tribute one monster per turn during your Main Phase 1.

However, it does require a player's Normal Summon, making it far slower, and hard to reuse. Good searcher. Ultimately, though, it's not that fast these days though cynics may note that it was Semi-Limited just before the release of a new Deck theme based on it Demise, King of Armageddon. The eventual lack of such Decks in the meta resulted in this card coming off the list. Its effect as originally printed had no restriction, which proved to be far too powerful.

Several cards could revive it, and they were effectively turned into Pot of Greeds by Disk Commander's effect. It now has a new errata as of , which limits the effect to once per Duel and means it can't be Special Summoned from the Graveyard in the same turn it's placed there, so is much less useful.

Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier. It has since received an errata that added the clause that only a single Dewloren can use its effect per turn. A 1-card Link Can make Crystron Halqifibrax instantly, and is also used as a combo starter in the Guardragon combo. Dragon Buster Destruction Sword. While it is equipped to a monster, it prevents your opponent from Special Summoning monsters from the Extra Deck.

Ehther the Heavenly Monarch. Key monster in Monarch Decks. Monarch Decks are rarely used these days, though. Shaddolls are not regularly played nowadays, so this slid off the list. Restricts both players to 1 Special Summon per turn and can't be destroyed by the opponent's card effects.

However, at times when Construct was Forbidden, this was considered to be acceptable at 3, and since then Shaddolls have fallen into irrelevance anyway. Second effect can turn around games, but is rarely pulled off nowadays.

Great searcher that triggers on Normal or Special Summon. No once-per-turn restriction allows it to create OTKs. You lose no advantage playing this card. Also has a potent destruction effect. Evigishki Gustkraken. Awesome hand control card.

There is a loop where this card is used within a Gishki - Hieratic hybrid Deck and can be bounced repeatedly with Constellar Ptolemy M7 to shut down the opponent's hand. It didn't help that Hieratics Summon Level 6 monsters with the greatest of ease. However, just by virtue of using Ritual Monsters, this is far too slow in the current game. Evigishki Mind Augus. Can greatly hinder opponent's Graveyard while recycling yours, letting you reuse your Gishki cards.

Key card of the Gishki FTK. Evilswarm Exciton Knight. Generic Rank 4 Xyz Monster with a powerful destruction effect. Can nuke the field whenever you have less cards than your opponent, and the effect can even be chained to cards like Bottomless Trap Hole , Compulsory Evacuation Device , Torrential Tribute , etc. While it has low ATK and makes your opponent take no more damage that turn, the loss in card advantage when hit by this card's effect can potentially be devastating against some Decks, such as Pendulum-based Decks.

Evilswarm Ophion. Key to the Warrior Toolbox Deck which was once topping. This represented 1-for-1 monster removal, a rare sight in the early competitive scene. Crazy when comboed with T. Can even be used for a Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn. Gladiator Beast Bestiari. However, Gladiator Beasts haven't done much in a long time, so it came down to 3.

Very good searcher. Not many people would use 3 anyways and zombie Decks aren't topping anymore. Gorz the Emissary of Darkness. Even prior to that, its effect was eventually considered too slow to pull off in the current meta; plus the three successive formats following it Xyz , Pendulum , and Link weren't as exploitable by its effect, and in the case of the latter two, impossible; so it was inevitably going to come off anyway.

Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss. Grandsoil the Elemental Lord. Uniquely among " Elemental Lord " cards, its activated effect was originally not a hard once-per-turn, which allowed for infinite loops. For example: with the proper setup, Firewall Dragon pre-errata could return this card to the hand, then be used to Special Summon another Firewall Dragon. This card can then Special Summon itself, and revive the spent Firewall Dragon, which also resets its bounce effect.

This card has since been errata'd to add this restriction. Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest. Before, it could be Special Summoned when a Beast was destroyed by battle or by a card effect. This was rather good with a relatively low cost for high ATK. Now they changed the ruling and it can't be used during the Damage Step, so destroying by battle won't Trigger its effect.

Gadget Decks used to top frequently, but aren't as powerful as they once were. Most Gadget Decks wouldn't run more than 2 of each anyways.

Amazing effect. Allows your monster to run over any other monster, and deal decent damage. Easily reused with Beckoning Light.

Abusable with BLS. Ignis Heat, the True Dracowarrior. Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer. Its second effect also fuels the Summon of Dinoster Power, the Mighty Dracoslayer and Majester Paladin, the Ascending Dracoslayer , which can lead to more branching plays. She was considered to be too fast and too strong for the format at the time. Now there are Decks other than beatdown types, so this came off. Semi-generic, universal negator that is easy to Summon in several Deck types.

Can be brought out quickly by Aleister the Invoker searching Invocation. Banishes the negated card rather than just destroying it, often neutralizing it for good.

Can lead to lockdowns without much effort. However, Invoked do very little nowadays, so it was allowed to return. Second effect can be used multiple times in one turn to create OTKs. The resultant Xyz swarming is much less viable in New Master Rules, and this card gradually came off the list. A solid one-for-one destruction card with perks.

The key to Inzektors. Was primarily used to perform loops. Inzektors have since faded into irrelevance, though, and this card stayed on the list much longer than it should have according to some players. Very popular early in the game's history since back then the game was slow enough to allow for monsters to be Tribute Summoned. Then the metagame picked up speed, where Special Summons became more favourable, and Jinzo dwindled in popularity due to both Royal Decree and presence of better monsters to Special Summon, so it came off the list.

Naturia Bamboo Shoot is also a Tribute monster, but it also stops Spells and not just Traps, although it is less splashable. Can be Special Summoned easily in Lightsworns.

Low cost to nuke the Field except itself. Double JD is broken, especially when they can be returned to your hand with Beckoning Light. This was reasonable, since the rules at the time meant a Link Monster would be required to pull off these Synchro Summons, but the brakes were taken off as a result of the Master Rules revision, and so this was preemptively hit.

The boss monster of Kozmo Decks. Can target and destroy any monster on the field when it's Summoned. While ordinarily not something worth writing home about, when paired with the lower level Kozmo monsters, it essentially becomes a form of pseudo-disruption during your opponent's turn.

Quite hard to remove due to its high ATK and invulnerability to targeting effects. Also Special Summons another Kozmo monster from the Deck when it dies, and can even destroy itself to trigger this. Splashable Level 3 monster with a good effect. Used in Salamangreats as a combo starter, as Gazelle also Limited is a valid target for its search.

Hit to limit the consistency of the Deck, but came off after they became irrelevant. Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En. Stops 1 Spell or Trap every turn. Very easily Summoned in Six Samurai. Can prevent himself from being destroyed if there's another Six Sam out.

Light and Darkness Dragon. See Perfect Circle. Not as abusable now that Tribute Summoning is considered slow. Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner. Easy effect that special Summons a Lightsworn monster from the Graveyard.

Gives uses to cards that are useless in the hand e. Wulf, Lightsworn Beast. Nice mill effect. Since Lightsworns aren't topping anymore, this came off the list. Came off the list due to being too slow for the current metagame. Makyura the Destructor. When sent to the Graveyard from anywhere, by any means, this card would allow for Traps to be activated from the hand for the rest of the turn.

A lot of Trap Cards have powerful effects that are balanced due to the fact of them needing a turn to be activated; this card removed the downside. Being an effect that didn't activate, it bypassed a lot of negation options. However, it has since received an errata which means it can only use its effect once per turn, if it is sent from the field to the Graveyard.

Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands. Adds any Ritual Spell or monster to your hand when Normal or flip Summoned. Mainly hit due to abuse in the Nekroz archetype in the OCG. There is an OTK with this card but it's too inconsistent with the current format , and it worked well with Card of Safe Return now Forbidden. Another important part of the Warrior Toolbox Deck. Warrior Lady , or another copy of itself, and you can prevent your opponent from attacking at all without any monster removal if you get 2 out.

Relatively hard to kill. Instantly inflicts damage, which is quite a lot. However, Spirit Reaper went back to 3, so it was inevitable that this would also go back to 3 due to the high quantity of removal power. Well, Royal Oppression now Forbidden became Limited when this became Unlimited, not that anyone was using this card anyway.

Special Summons any Mermail from your Graveyard when discarded to the Graveyard. Came off the TCG list due to the lack of Mermails in the current meta. Adds any Level 4 or lower Mermail monster from your Deck to your hand when Summoned by its effect. Can be searched easily with Abyss-sphere and reused with Abyss-squall or Mermail Abyssgunde above.

Effect is easy to pull off and reuse. Was Unlimited since Zombies are no longer as good as they once were. A very potent field-disruptor, freezing the Battle Phase and eating up Nomis , Tribute Summoned monsters, and Extra Deck monsters the moment it is flipped while resetting the field. Flip monsters are slow and easily countered now, though, so this came back to 3.

Combined with Soul Absorption is a free LP gained when banished. Easily used in Lightsworns , and reused with Burial from a Different Dimension however, this is Limited. Lightsworns have not been topping lately due to their relative inconsistency, so this was Unlimited to give them a chance in the current meta.

Nekroz of Brionac. Key card in Nekroz. Can also be Summoned to return up to 2 monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck back to the Deck, easily clearing the field. Nekroz have fallen into irrelevance, so it came back at 3. Nekroz of Unicore. Can negate the effects of any monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and can recycle any Nekroz card from the Graveyard.

Neo-Spacian Grand Mole. Easily takes out boss monsters, particularly those with specialized Summoning requirements, and does not destroy or target. However, it needs to battle to use its effect, and is not used that often now anyway.

Number Big Eye. Very powerful Rank 7 Xyz Monster. Can permanently take any opponent's monster, with no restriction about how it can be used, although it can't attack the turn it uses its effect. Came back to 3 since the main Decks that Summoned this so easily are dead Dragon Rulers or irrelevant Spellbooks , Mermails. Performage Damage Juggler. Insanely splashable utility. Key card in Performage Decks. Can negate burn effects or stop OTKs from hand while providing crazy consistency to any Deck running Performages from Graveyard.

Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer. This card played a pivotal role in Performapal Pendulum Decks, as it could search out key Performapal cards while triggering the effects of monsters such as Performage Plushfire and Guiding Ariadne.

Was formerly abused in Sky Scourge Norleras Decks. Once those Decks stopped doing well, this was allowed to go back to 3. Universal reusable Tuner. Its downside can be overridden by playing a search card afterwards, thus shuffling your Deck. Protector of the Sanctuary.
