Got barely any opinions on the banlist. MR2020 brings huge changes already so I got no idea on which will be the best decks. These hits ensure current topping decks won't be too high, but who knows if they would still be a problem with most of the Fusion Synchro and Xyz decks unleashed. I do find amusing the hits on the Red-Eyes Dragun kit since, except for Invoked Dragun, decks usually ran only single copies to go off anyway. It's a pity that Toadally got Limited, in pre-MR4 i normally ran 2 along Bahamut Shark so I could fetch a WATER monster with the float effect of the 1st one and just loop the 2nd.
