The problem is that SV is a mechanically shallow game due to being a HS clone without the RNG. This just makes the powercreep that much more apparent since there's less options to deal with your opponent.
Then there's the fact that Cygames insists on games being short, so we get shit like Bahamut which absolutely kills any chance of traditional midrange / grinder decks from ever existing.
We're spiralling down into aggro with a fuckton of out-of-hand damage boys. Seatbelts on and hold on tight.

Meanwhile the next Shadowverse expansion...

>The only way to fix this is to have disproportionately powerful cards for higher curves. You mean like Bahamut and Sahaquiel? I see your concern, but Shadowverse doesn't seem to be going to that route. Control is the strongest it's ever been and aggro is mostly only played at ladder, you don't see much of it on tournaments. The problem is that they seem to want to keep adding counters to cards instead of nerfing them, what will eventually bring us to the second main issue of Yu-Gi-Oh, besides the speed of the game: cards are useless unless they do something immediately, are unnaffected by everything and/or are a win condition by themselves if they survive. Just see how many counters they introduced to Otohime this expansion just because she was a dominant card. It's ridiculous. Hungering Horde, Lucius, Breath of the Salamander, Cyclone Blade, Matriarch. It's not even worth playing the card anymore, even if Midrange decks leave Unplayable Tier.

You already posted this before, and nobody gave a shit then. Stop it.

Bahamut is a hard cap to end the game similar to Satan. You will never have a deck that goes to turn 15 with Bahamut existing unless it's a control mirror where both players meme on each other with Bahamuts.
Joseph Bell
>aggro is the only cheap decks
most of aggro decks (and also tempo rune) are about as expensive as seraph and d-shift
Fuck tournaments though, probably like 1% play in tournaments. Saying something isn't used in tournament doesn't mean shit if you're still encountering it all over the place in ladder where real people play.

I opened my first Tsubaki! Yay!!! I was right to be excited for pack day! And now I know why people hate the English dub. Who the fuck decided she needed a granny voice? Also in that pack: this dude! Who I had no idea was a card until now. Though calling it a card might be a tad generous...

>Just see how many counters they introduced to Otohime this expansion just because she was a dominant card. Fucking this. Midrange sword only runs 1 of her now, if they even bother, since literally every class has multiple counters to her.
I remember being the first to defend Cygames when they (rightfully) nerfed Homecoming and Harvest Festival. But I think the popularity of the game has gotten to their heads where they think they can do no wrong and are content to just keep making counters or power creep the game.

when you Odin their Baha and then they Baha the Baha you used to Baha their Baha which you Odin which they end up Odining

MTG is not even remotely the same as SV to suggest a comparison.
If you can't see why midrange is largely dead this meta you're probably D0.

Of course, but there's a point where things need to be done. Look at roach. The deck has been nerfed already. But roach has been a fundamental part of every forest deck since the game has started, and it's only gotten better. Even PtP, a deck that's based around killing all of your own stuff, still runs roach. If you don't have roach, there is no point playing aggro. There is no viable strategy that forest has besides roach. And worse, there is no counterplay against roach besides hoping you have a ward. Roach extremely limits the creative space in forest, because every deck designed has to benefit from including roach, or somehow be better than decks that include it. That hasn't happened since the start of the game.

>Roach extremely limits the creative space in forest
The lack of other good win conditions is the limiting factor. Take roach out of the equation and people will just stop playing forest.
Kevin Scott
It's funny because this expansion actually enabled old card that were deemed unplayable, like homecoming(which was actually nerfed), to see play again.

Connor Bell
I don't know about MTG, but what I'm saying is that if they keep adding counters to cards instead of nerfing them, they will unintentionally add counters to almost every card in the game and we might reach YGO levels of card design. At some point in YGO, Beelze was a good card and some people even made decks around it. Not too much time later, they released Silent Honor Ark, which countered Beelze, so people had to play around it. Eventually they released Castel, which can't be played around, and it killed Beelze completely. Nowadays, even the most reliable boss monsters in terms of raw power and survivability, like yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Quantal_Mech_King_Great_Magnus have counters in the form of Kaijus, and are pretty much worthless if they require too many resources to bring out, because if they get Kaiju'd you simply lose.
Chase Butler
>t. someones who has never played any other card game in their lives Can you clarify what card games you've played? If the answer is exclusively "yugioh", fuck off back to /dng/ Power creep is troublesome; power seep is awful. You can't blame Cygames for being more comfortable with one than the other.
Blake Barnes
Having one badly designed, overpowered card to carry the class doesn't make the card not worthy of a nerf. Because again, if you don't nerf it, that means you have to make every new card equally overpowered to compete. I agree, if you nerf roach, forest will die. But forest needs to die and be reborn as something fair but still viable.
Carson Robinson

I didn't expect anything and I'm still disappointed in you.
It's funny because you're wrong and homecoming is considered a meme and the best roach decks are considered aggro/tempo by Master players.
Camden Morris
It's a pasta from a butthurt user
Justin Young
It's a shame because forest has a lot of interesting cards that could make for a strong control deck. It's such a waste to see Guidance always used on roach or may when using it on Saha or Odin would be so strong.
Robert Stewart
>You can't blame Cygames for being more comfortable with one than the other. I definitely can when everyone in Master is telling them there's a big problem with their game and the tournament landscape revolves around literally one deck.

Liam Nguyen
>Power creep is troublesome; power seep is awful Power creep is awful as well, it eventually turns the game into a mess that plays completely differently from what it originally was meant to be. Ideally they'd need to find the correct balance between nerfing cards and powercreeping them, what is not an easy thing to do, but just outright choosing one over the other is going to eventually kill the game.
Austin Taylor
What the fuck is power seep?

i liquefied your waifu, and to add some insult to it, used her emblem for some time after liquefying the card :3
Xavier Robinson
This is what the west thinks your waifu sounds like. What are you going to do about it?
The problem is not just roach, though. Forest's cards have to compete with roach as well as the good cards of every other class. Otherwise, forest would be roachless and would have no way to fight dshift, aggro blood, nep, midsword etc. You would have to nerf everything along with roach if you want any changes to roach to be meaningful.
If forest can only compete with these classes because of roach, they are going to need cards as powerful as roach or other classes are going to need to get weaker. Nerfing roach does not solve anything.
