These are the M1 cards. The ones known as the most powerful cards in the game.
They were banned in Japanese for ALL DECKS. This is the same rule that applies for the 3 God monster cards.
As of March 1st, anytime someone complains, quits, or ignores these M1 banning rules, they are deemed "n00b" and are
ignored for being an idiot.
Why? Well its very simple. If you can't deal with the bans because of some excuse, take the following into
account:
1. "But my deck is gone without _____ and _____ !"
-Then your deck was never good, and you need to get better strategies.
2. "I'm quiting because it ruins the game."
-No. not true. The bans have been the best thing for the game since... well... it's invention. The
reason is, there will be less of the exact, identical decks running the same 10 cards, the same 10 card combinations, and
the exact same win condition.
3. "Screw it. I don't care about those rules."
-Then don't play the game. Stupid idiot. Why play the game if your going to ignore rules just because
you don't like them?
Well, thats it for this one...
Please remember these cards, and for the love of god, stop using them. They are unfair, and annoying. Plus,
if you continue to use them, people look at you like your another n00b.
Don't use them/10- Don't cheat.
-Zero
