TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

A cast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we record. When you picture the First World War, you probably think of Barb Wire, Artillery Fire, and Mud. What you probably don't think of?

Drag shows. Love letters pass between those in uniform. Queer lives hiding in plain sight. In our new series, we're looking at the stories that didn't make it into the official record.

Because they were too tender, too queer, or too dangerous to preserve. From Canadian soldiers performing in drag at the front. To forbidden love in the trenches. To nurses whose lifelong relationship was reduced to friendship.

History looked away, but we don't. From carbon and I'm Emily. And this is Lavender Rinks. Listen, wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah, well, let's do this. First things first, this list is effective from February 27th of 2022. The next update after this will be no earlier than a few months from now. That's really vague.

Oh, yeah. Instead of giving this just an early stage of this, it's just at some point in a few months from now. This week's re-complaining so much when the list is the No Soo No Then date has passed. Back when I was like, you know what?

You want to complain? We're not going to give you a No Soo No Then date anymore. Very possibly. So, let's look at this list.

First one on the list. Right at the top. Arch Nemesis Protos Band. Oh, wow.

That's just one of the most important list. And I'm noticing there's some cards missing already. Wow. Okay.

Next card on the list from limited to zero is Eva. Eva is banned. So that's it to drag it on. Flat out.

That's rough. Yeah. I'm just going through it. I still see you see it forbidden.

So let me see. Didn't want to off the list. So let's keep going. Go and see what we got here.

I'm just feeling so smaller. I can be wrong, but this looks so small than it used to be. I hope you're still there. Electrominus is still there.

Colossus is still there. So no surprises of things coming off. Harpour is still there. Whoa.

Whoa. Some more bird of sovereignty. Whoa. I knew they were going to hit Leerless Trappergate somehow.

I wasn't expecting some more. I'm thinking about that makes a lot of sense. This is the thing that cheats out the Berry Satch. It's the thing that cheats out.

They're about the Incra. I mean, it's just one of the things. Wow. They also have an also in Leerless Trappergate.

Then if your opponent is out at next turn, you just get a splash. I'm in one of the searchers. Leerless. Yeah.

I mean, this is it's a good hit. It really is. I have no complaints about that hit. Neither do I.

That's a fair hit. Good. Yeah. We still have all of these duty act bands.

It looks like we're some Broadway and Dryden band. So no surprises there. Do you have a Roger still band? While Imperial Order got banned.

Wow. It actually happened. Huh. I mean, I think this is a hit that everybody felt like needed to happen, but nobody actually thought it was going to happen.

Yeah. I mean, they're most likely a bunch of people who thought it was going to happen. I knew it was going to happen at some point. Yeah.

Well, we all felt like it shouldn't happen. Yeah. Oh, no. When can only those things like a random card and then take it off the ban list?

They don't want to put it back on the ban list. That's like a bidding they didn't do it. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Which is fair. Which is a fair assumption here.

But I mean, hey, it's bad now. It is banned. So that's all of the bands. So again, the bands are arch nemesis, protos, Eva, some more bird of sovereignty, Imperial Order.

That's all of the bands. So, um, let's go ahead and jump right. Let's get on with the limited. Oh, oh, wow.

Wow. Oh, the next one fairy tale snow to one. What is this? Easy.

What are they doing? Oh, my goodness. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm just talking about it.

Okay. That grass is greener. So bad. Okay.

That's crazy. Okay. As long as that grass is greener still bad. Okay.

I see the T's. I don't see any tribe regave limits. So that's something at least in the me deck monsters scroll a little farther. Wow.

Ash or grass or sure. And looney light tiger both getting peeled off to one. Wow. Wow.

Oh, yeah. Fairy tells snow coming. Ash or grass. Wow.

There's so many people are going to be happy from this. Wow. So like, does looney light tiger to one by itself make looney lights like viable? Oh, yeah.

I think so. I think looney light trembergates actually kind of crazy. Okay. Okay.

That's really cool for the looney light people. Look at my rock. I like the artwork for the art stuff. I like the artwork on the, on the art time.

Um, still though. I'm glad they got this. This is cool. Yeah.

Wow. And just they just keep on coming. Wow. Wow.

That's wild. I keep scrolling too fast. I keep seeing the next cards. That's insanity.

Oh. That's like, there are. Yeah. You don't want to search, you'll get your one or those search but then you have to make it different.

Or rank one. Wow. That's the more wild. That hurts that hurt.

That hurt so much. She really does. Next card. A foster gate.

Okay. Monster gate is a card that felt like it need to come to one a long time ago. And it just had yep. So this makes a lot of sense.

Um, And then let's see the next card. Let's see the next card, potty desires to wind. What is this? Oh, dude.

Wow. That means that this is the first pot card since the Everest. To get limited. Think about that.

Yeah. They view this deck on the same level. I mean, maybe it's part of the same level as the Everest one. I mean, wow.

Just wow. This is an ugly include. And this is an auto-inkley. Not an expert.

Oh, yeah. No, like, like, potty desires is one of the most flexible pot cards in the game right now. And now you can't join the designers off the ziers. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. That's fair. You would be surprised at how many times I think pot desires my two draws off of both pot desires. Yeah.

Well, there's no more debate about which pot of desires how many you run. You run one. Exactly. Basically anything.

Yeah. That's the rest of the limits. Wow. Wow.

That's crazy. And then we're not done. We have even more coming. Wow.

Let's get into this element. Wow. Semilements are even crazy. You got five new semilements.

So a hero lands for one to two, which that's fine. Right? Like, that's fine. Get the hero players a little something.

You know, it's like, you have to pay $4,000 like, like, anyway, it's fine. It'll automatically be $4,000. It's half your life points. OK, but still that's fine.

They can have an extender. Fusion Destiny 2, that's really interesting, because that means that they knew the DPE package needed to be hit. But they didn't want to hit it too badly with a Fusion Destiny Ultimate Rare coming out soon. Yeah.

But then also it also kind of limits just hard drawing in the Fusion Destiny. So now people are more likely to go the Verte route. Yeah. Yeah.

Next, Nadir Servent 2. Wow. Dude, this is so crazy. So this really does feel like they're using the ban list.

And they're actually using the semi-limited list more than they have in a really long time. I know, right? With the Nadir Servent, it just reduces your odds of just hard drawing in this case. Yeah, yeah, for real.

Wow, that's crazy. Salamine Great Circle from 1 to 2. That's fine. There are saline Great players at bone.

Good on them. Yeah, state go from 1 to 2. That's really interesting considering how powerful the link-lining toolscape go is. I mean, it's a free rank 4.

Yeah. So as long as A rank 4 doesn't state that you can't use tokens. Yeah. Wow.

I mean, think about this. Look at the end limits. So you have Danger Nancy going from 2 to 3. Renai's Arunas Metal Dragon going from 1 to 3, which that makes a lot of sense because it's definitely a lot of sense.

Right. Performing about skill-critical and joboring emergency teleport, both from 2 to 3, which makes sense, they were semi-limited and didn't really do anything. So that's fine. Brageki and Skill Dream from 1 to 3.

Wow. 3, Ragheki and Skill Dream? What? 3, Skill Dream is the really crazy one here to me.

Wow. Yeah, don't get me wrong. That's insane. Ragheki's just kind of like, wow, that's crazy.

Scooter is like, what? Yeah. Wow. Are we going to see the return of Skill Dream, hero?

No. I mean, big idea how strong Elvish gets with this list. I mean, realistically Elvish didn't really see any hits to the deck. I mean, Imperial Order hurts, but wow.

With 3, Skill Dream, they can play around it. Yeah. Yeah, they can. Wow.

That's crazy. I got to say, winners and losers are this list. Let's talk winners and losers. Just wow.

Winners, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to just a winner here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, and like, it wasn't anything with Elvish.

It wasn't like anything that was explicitly for the archetype. It was just stuff that got banned and stuff that got released. Oh, yeah. Mostly stuff that got destroyed up unlimited altogether with the Skill Dream.

Oh, god. Wow. This is crazy. Another winner is, I mean, honestly, Chimer Gate.

The Chimer Gate engine itself comes away from this list with no hits. Yes, you have this on the side of the limited. Yes, you have some more ban, but that's fine, because the engine is still fine. Now you can play the one like the Lunar White package with this engine.

I mean, all the time, it's not even the hard ones for a term. That deck is going to be good. Mark my heart, that deck is going to be good. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. It definitely is. Oh, yeah. I would say specifically Burt Up has lost.

But, Chimer Gate itself completely passes on this, unfazed, untouched. Yeah. Do you have any winners? Well, besides the one you just said, let's see.

I'm waiting to see what people are going to do with Destrudo. That's going to be interesting. Definitely people trying to run you do decks, because we have because they have Ashuar's back. So Pendulum's got a buff.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, specifically like the magician and pendulum players. Definitely.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And another winner of this list really is, I mean, yeah, it's been really hard.

But realistically, so far as I came away from this fairly intact, you know, I don't know what I said. But it was being banned as killer. But I guess it's still great. I mean, they lost an optional auto win button.

Right. So now they actually have to play the game to win. But it could have been much worse. Yeah.

I mean, this is the most impact. We were talking about 22 cards being moved on this list. This is the most impactful list we've had since January of 2020. The list we had two years ago where it ended tossed format.

Yeah. Yeah. This isn't funny. The one that's talking about loser to the list.

Oh, yeah. Let's see. Well, as I just said, definitely burned up. Big loser here.

It's lost. It's a double search. And it lost. It's.

You can take a future line. Well, no, no, no. That line still exists. You have to make a different rank one exceed.

You can make like you just run multiple symbol nightingales and just make it just use up one of your symbol nightingales. Just any literally any rank one exceeds and you're good to go. You just don't get that secondary search. Yeah.

Yeah. Because remember, if zero only needs two non-number exceed monsters with the same rank, it doesn't matter that the same monster. Right. Yeah.

The biggest one I think was definitely the some more because that's all he because I actually said that's all he got out of barrier statue apex APN. And as I mentioned, given that free, their opponent isn't out the isn't able to have this more in their opponents and facing a search. Yeah. Honestly, I think the biggest loser on this list is combo.

I mean, you've got consistency cards, like part of desires getting hit. You've got all the combo pieces, like Laela's recital star lane getting hit. I mean, you've got your some more. Eve are getting hit.

I mean, combo in general, but a lot of it. It's also skill draining to three. You have another board breaker like regchety coming back to three. I mean, I fail to see how this is a good list for combo.

I mean, it's clear that you know what I mean with this list. Once they came to slow down, you know, in my opinion. I know, I know, I know, I like, like, I like part that is definitely a small part of, you know, so in the game, I was definitely unlimited or decky. You know, one of the best board, old school boarder movers in the game.

You know, just the first time that we're decking has been in three since it first got put on the list decade ago. Yeah, since there was a forbidden limited list. Yeah, I mean, really, I mean, I really like you so much about the three that I guess we're decking can too. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Um, particularly, yeah, I mean, because it's, yeah, but like also like, oh, I'm trying to like collect my thoughts on this. OK, so like it gives it because now you have a reliable card, even hard to draw into that forces your opponent, if you're going second, to do something about it, like they like they build their board and you actually were getting they have to do something about it. Yeah. Yeah, does that make sense?

Yeah. You know, like the charge on is that board guy or guy? They have to make it through a guy or they lose other monster. They have on board.

Yeah, I know I'm going to think of the Discord server. Um, you know, I was looking at, um, I was looking at the Discord server and I was mentioning that the monster gate limit is actually because of an SDK that's been running around the mocking or ruin force, F.D.K. Oh, yeah, I did abuse monster gate being a three is what happened. OK, OK, that makes sense.

Yeah, I'm reading that there. I'm reading it now, too. Yeah. Um, so what is one part that's called off this list that just really scares you or one thing that happens is that scares you.

Truth is old. It's the skill tree. Yeah, that's the one thing that just sticks out to me, too. I can't get overstoedering being a three.

That's terrifying, honestly. Oh, yeah, that is far more than terrifying. Um, actually, let me look at something real quick. Give me just one hot second.

OK, so the last time scoretrank got printed was the lost our promotion a year last year or no, three years ago. Yeah, you know, coming to like over $30. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but here's the thing we know there's a refund coming.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I think that's why the unlimited, I think that's a small reason why they unlimited it. It will actually, if it's probably a big reason why I limit it, um, because now people want to actively search out that reprint is coming out. Yeah.

Uh, do we know what, uh, what's that that's coming in? Yeah, so there's going to be a a skilled and reprinting the, um, I think the arsenal, uh, reprint set. OK, cool. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, no, but oh, for people curious, I'm like, a dollar. Yeah. Uh, I'm really interested in that package.

I think we know it was already a really cool road, but now it's good. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Now that tires back. Um, so like I'm saying you're reading a little like tiger because I'm like, I do a car with 100% what it does. Um, dang. It's a crazy card.

Oh, yeah. No, this card is ridiculous. Mm. Yeah.

So I'm pretty excited about this list. I think it's, I think it's cool. Um, I'm kind of scared about school, drink, a three, but it's cool. It's cool.

So that's, I'm going to get back to work, but that's what's going to happen for today's episode, but be sure to be tomorrow for our full, a full breakdown, full thoughts. You might even try to get a guest one to talk about this. This list is crazy. It cannot be understated.

How awesome that even at the list turns out to have some bad moves, one at a skill drink, the three and stuff. I think the freshness that this is going to provide for the format is critical. The only thing that's missing here is they didn't hit artifact site, which worries me. Yeah.

Well, I think because of the skill drain, Artfact sites becomes a little bit less of a problem. Um, just due to a lot of the self pops are usually monster effects from from what I'm aware of anyway. Yeah. But if you're going to go first, then how do you set skill drain and I could still drink for the artifact site?

Yeah, exactly. Um, in a situation where you're going first, it's less of a problem. Uh, we'll have to wait and see, uh, you know, what, you know, how people start trying to figure out how to slide against that. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So we'll figure out, um, so I just know patron chow it's already on this episode. Um, kind of a, kind of spec all the tough thing. Yeah, I'm not in the studio.

I'm literally sitting on my delivery truck doing this. So I'm sorry about the audio all that, but be sure to check us out on Twitter. It's not going to be a podcast. Be sure to check us out on Discord on Patreon on YouTube, all the different various platforms.

Be sure to check out ATB games. They are our sponsor. You can find their link in the description down below. And that's it.

Is I anything else I'm missing? No, not to think of. All right. Hey, we appreciate everybody.
