General feelings
Forbidden : Three powerful cards have been banned, including Primeval Planet Perlereino , Knightmare Corruptor Iblee , and Jowgen the Spiritualist . These cards all play a role in some very difficult graveyard strategies like Tears, and their bans could help slow down the meta and create a more fair environment.
Limited : Snake-Eyes Poplar and Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo are restricted to 1 copy, reducing the power of decks based on these cards while still maintaining strategy.
Semi-Limited : Many important cards, such as Phantom of Yubel , Dark Beckoning Beast , and Opening of the Spirit Gates are reduced to 2 copies, giving players more options and flexibility in deck building without having to worry about being too strong.
Unlimited : Key cards like Thunder Dragon Colossus and Water Enchantress of the Temple are being brought back to Unlimited, potentially giving strategies that rely on them a chance to thrive again.
