In yugioh do you think they should be able to restrict cards and if so then shouldn't it just be the unbeatable cards like the god cards and exodia?

Answer 1

Answer

This depends upon several things. First of all, Certain cards have been restricted because the game has become a LOT more complex over the years. Some of the more powerful cards have been replaced with less powerful versions of themselves. And so-called "Unbeatable" cards are rare.

The Egyptian God Cards ARE not Tournament-Legal!! They do not have the qualities that certain other cards possess, such as a legal Type/Attribute, and the Official Konami/Yu-Gi-Oh! Seal on the back of the card.

Exodia is NOT "Unbeatable" because you have to draw ALL 5 pieces of it in order to win ONE out of 3 duels in a Tournament Match. A Tournament-Legal Deck usually has 40 cards, so the odds of drawing ALL five pieces of Exodia aren't actually in the player's favor. Therefore, the Exodia pieces aren't forbidden. Some cards just are. I'm not sure why they pick certain cards out, but that's just the way the game is. It's complex.

Answer

As the game became more advanced over the years, less powerful cards replaced the more powerful ones, such as Monster Reborn, which was replaced with Premature Burial and Call Of The Haunted. Some of the game's ORIGINAL cards are still Tournament Legal, because they don't create player advantages or "godding".

Answer

Well there are reasons behind some bans, like Chaos Emperor Dragon because of the person who made Yata-Lock so the opponent had no hand and couldn't draw, and the person who used Butterfly Dagger - Elma with Gearfried the Iron Knight and Spell Absorption for infinite life points. I'll agree that some bans are not needed but there's usually a good reason for the bans.
