Will Revenger face the Restriction list soon?

Hi, today we will discuss about Revengers and their impact on the competitive scene.

When I play at my locals these days I play against 3-4 revengers and see at least 5 in the top 8.

These days the majority of the participants at my locals are playing Revengers. But why? Why is the deck so powerful? Firstly, everybody knows the effect of Revenger Raging Form Dragon and its ability to stand itself by riding another copy from your hand. It also has a cost of retiring 3 RG. But wait, Spectral Duke Dragon has the same effect and it does not require another copy of itself to restand right? Then what makes Raging Form Dragon so strong?

Well unlike Spectral Duke Dragon it gains 10k power and does not lose its twin drive. If it were to not gain 10k power Raging Form Dragon wouldn’t be as strong  because it will merely be a 10k guard for two triggers to pass which does not take much resources from your opponent. By gaining 10k power Raging Form Dragon takes such a big toll on your opponent because they have to guard for another 10k.

Let’s say you break ride Raging Form Dragon over Mordred Phantom and you call another unit using Mordred Phantom’s effect. Raging Form will be at 25k for two pass and subsequently 20k for two pass making a total of 45k for just one unit and not to mention the double twin drives. Then comes the unit called by the break ride effect which will be about 20-25k guard assuming you check at least 1 or 2 triggers during the double twin drive. Next up is the advantage the deck creates. The amount of free cards the deck can obtain is far too much in my opinion. Tartu calls Dorin, and Dorin unflips a damage whenever a Blaster Dark Revenger is called onto the same column as he is. This gives just too much advantage to the deck as Blaster Dark will almost always destroy something when it hits the field. Also Raging Form Dragon does not need any counter blast making it even more broken.

So we can say now that Revengers are good due to the fact that they generate so much advantage at such a low cost and have the ability to hit with the vanguard twice. Well, this kind of overpowered deck will eventually face the death reaper aka restriction list.

The first thing that should get hit is Raging Form Dragon. It will be put to 2 per deck. Next will be Dorin and Tartu. They will become like Wingal Brave and MLB limited to where you can have 2 in combination of both, that is you either have 2 of either or 1 of each. This way the deck will be more balanced. You will still be able to do the Raging Form stunt, but not every turn causing major disadvantage to your opponent. You also won’t be able to create infinite advantage by just calling units to the field every turn like how Tartu and Dorin does. Bushiroad will fix the situation because I believe they care for the state of the game as well as their profits. So expect to see the restriction list update anytime soon from Bushiroad. Take care!
