The possibity of breaker getting banned.........

[IN GOD WE TRUST]

............is something that I think is going to happen v=come the next ban list. Just think about it. T.I.V was god like and, then they reprinted it twice. So every body was able to run it. I find it funny though how once it because very eassily obtanable for the public that it got banned. Now Breaker has been reprinted at least 4 times so every body can now get it. Just makes me think that it'ss get baned as well. WHat are your thaughts on it getting banned and, if it gets banned what will you use as an replacement?

edit: your opponent has 4 cards on the field. those 3 cards happen to be something like don, another monster, and premy on the stonger monster. breaker can come break the premy which also kills the monster. then beat up on the don. now your opponent lost 3 cards and you lose noon. things like that can get a card banned. exspecailly if you use breaker more then once with poa.

[TwoTailedFox]

It won't be banned.

1900 w/o ability, 1600 w/ ability. The cost for using the ability is proportional to the loss in ATK points for it.

It's already Limited, and that's all that is needed to keep this card in check.

[Kensh0rz]

You can't assume that because a powerful card is made more widely available it's likely to be banned.

Breaker doesn't deserve banned - not for the reason you've given or for the "zOMG itz eze +1!!one!" other people have presented.

[Spiked swordsman]

It wont be banned. Most of the time you would use its effect to kill and trap so it is only left with 1600

[Shiryuu]

yeah because if its one thing konami hates its people getting a hold of there cards, I mean why even reprint them they dont want children to have good cards no why would they want that.......ok sarcasm over


ok Tribes was banned because it was to powerful i mean it would rip through a warrior deck quicker than three Kinetic soldiers (broken)

[cj_simmons]

breaker doesn't deserve to get banned. i wan't say that it wan't, cause anything can happen.


and kinetic soldier isn't broken

[Soulmaster Knight]

Comparing Tribe and Breaker is totally unfair. Tribe has far reaching capabilities than Breaker. The best Breaker can do is wreck one spell/trap by itself and two or three with convenient help (anything that resets it or generates a counter without doing so). After that, 1600 beatstick, which is not THAT threatening, right?

I honestly can't see that happening.

[SaintDragon7777]

No he wont be banned hes not that powerful.

[CHaOsYaTa]

Breaker being at 1 is good enough.

[Airknight]

i think breaker will servive one more ban list, but wont make it in Oct 2006 list.

[PMasterS]

Breaker is deserving of a ban, his effect is too strong, but on the other hand if the next list changes the format enough, then cards like BoM or BTH could come back in enough force to balance it out.

[FreeWilly!]

You know, it's sad. Breaker was originally intended to be a theme card, an now you people are talking about banning him. Do you like killing themes?

[Rizzo]

What theme does he work in?

Spellcaster? He doesn't exactly support the other Spellcaster support cards. Bring him out with Magicians Circle or Magical Dimension and he gets no effect.

Counter? Is there ANY other half-way decent card that can support a counter theme deck? This theme is dead with or without breaker.

You have got to be joking.

Breaker is actually worse in his theme deck than in any other deck.
Besides not many people have been saying that it should be banned.

[Daedalus]

breaker doesnt deserve being banned. although it has an awsome effect, it's drawbacks do make up for it (can only use it once/goesback to 1600).

So...He's worse in a deck built around him than in a CC?

Counter? Is there ANY other half-way decent card that can support a counter theme deck? This theme is dead with or without breaker.
Breaker was originally intended to be used in Spell Counter decks, along side Aprrentice Magician, Magical Marrionette, Pitch Black Power Stone etc. in those decks, you could get his effect of multiple times, for mass S/T destruction. Even when you Premy him, you could just use Power stone on him, or summon Apprentice.

[King of Dragon]

Breaker is no better or worse than in a CC or a spell counter themed deck. A CC deck is just better than a spell counter deck. It doesn't make Breaker better or worse.

Its perfect at one.

because Mobious effect is too strong, I guess by yoru logic he should be banned, GUESS WHAT mobious isn't even limited and nets you a "zomg" possible 2-2, or even a 2-3 (soul exchange, they're monster and two of they're m/t's) guess what, he will never get banned and neither will he be restricted, and neither will Breaker.

it won't work when they trap hole him or that kind of stuff. but for breaker no but if it does happen what will hapen to the game?

uh mobious gets his effect even if you trap hole him, he just dies afterwards.

[Bleakdragon55]

no if he isn't succesfully summoned without being killed then he gets the effect, trap hole stops him{not sure}

[Somebody]

no if he isn't succesfully summoned without being killed then he gets the effect, trap hole stops him{not sure}
Trap Hole doesn't stop Mobius from killing other s/t, Mobius' effect is a come into play effect and trap hole is activated at the resolution of it's summoning. And then Mobius dies afterwards. And why do people want to ban every advantous(sp?) card. Mobius isn't limited, it generates advantage. PoA isn't limited, it generates advantage. Breaker is fine at 1.

[Hazen]

breaker is way good, but no where near ban worthy.

[Vagabond Aeon]

All Breaker does is either beat face or knock off a Spell or Trap card for free, with no way to repeat said feat without the help of Apprentice Magician or situational Spell Counter generators. He's also vulnerable to the (Bottomless) Trap Hole, is unsearchable (unless you use Different Dimension Capsule), and is restricted to one.

I don't see the problem.

You're speaking off things that don't exist, card advantage doesn't matter, its the fact that breaker is one of the most versatile monsters in the game, is easy to summon, has a good attack, even without his counter, his effect is just powerful in a format with little M/T removal.


So...He's worse in a deck built around him than in a CC?



Yes he is, because the way spell counters work requires you to try to keep him on the field or summon him at times you otherwise wouldn't, meaning that you get a less effective use of him than in a deck in which he is just one card that does what he does at the perfect time.
