Some players think the Heal Guardians are a solution to all aggressive and fast decks and they definitely do reduce the power of highly aggressive early game strategies but that doesn’t mean that this is now a slow format or that the risk of dying on G2 when you’re going second is gone.

That being said, I don’t think we’re in a format that could be called slow either – from my experience, we’re probably looking at quite a fast format still. Personally, I feel like the ban list was great for aggro decks but the Heal Guardians do quite a lot to check aggro decks too so I don’t think pure bash face from turn 1 aggro decks are likely to dominate. It’s time for the Bushiroad Rumble Online Premium Format remote fight tournament! These are my personal thoughts on how I think that event might turn out that includes my top picks and then a few decks that I think might be able to steal a top out of nowhere! This is the last major event of 2021 and also the last major event before the next scheduled reassessment of the ban list (They’ve now escalated it to next week but we probably won’t see premium in that) so is very likely to be the only event we’re going to see of this scale featuring the format as it is now.Īfter the ban list, opinion was divided over whether this was a new and wide open format in which loads of decks were viable or if this was an aggro-only format and everything else would die too fast to compete.
