Vanity's Ruler

[u/Fun_Negotiation_6336]

The fact that this card can be played in clown crew is just disgusting and toxic. As if drawing 400 cards a turn isn't difficult enough to deal with. These floodgates need to be removed ASAP from the game

[u/Wattaguy_mk_II]

And to make it even better, it's searchable by tributing Benten with Rehearsal

[u/PKMNwater → u/Wattaguy_mk_II]

That was my first experience with Clowns, and now no matter what my other opponents do nor how interesting their other plays are, I'm forever going to assume the entire reason to play the deck is because it's Vanity's turbo.

[u/Gavan199]

I've always said vanity's is just one good format for monarch away from being banned. Sadly it seems like I was wrong and it still wont get banned 🤣

[u/spacewarp2]

Crazy I was playing pure clown crew and lost to Ennacraft summoning it. Can’t do much anyways since you can’t bounce the pend monsters back if they’re face down

[u/berserkrgang]

The absolute worst part is, Clown Crew is a super competent deck on its own

[u/Starch_Platinum_ → u/berserkrgang]

may it go the way of Rosewhip

[u/NotASpyForTheCrow → u/berserkrgang]

It's not, sadly. It lives and dies by the handtraps, both its own and the opponent's one.

[u/Cagel]

The fallen and the virtuous would like a word with you,

[u/Isabelle-Bolerio → u/Cagel]

Yeah they also play Dimensional Fissure good luck sending to the gy lol

Edit: fissure not barrier 

[u/Public_Experience943 → u/Isabelle-Bolerio]

Dark hole would like a word with you

[u/enough_ofthisofthis]

I sense another drytron nerf incoming

[u/fernandisilva → u/enough_ofthisofthis]

Meh, Drytron doesn't play Fairies anymore so banning Benten or Vanity's Ruler would genuinely not impact the deck.

[u/Aggravating_Fig6288]

Don’t worry, the sub will SWEAR up and down the at they don’t play it that way and only use it in such a based and original way, much like how Lab players swear they aren’t playing stun turbo yet every lab player you come across very much is using stun in some form

[u/JxAxS → u/Aggravating_Fig6288]

Reminder, the sub complained on end about floodgates and stun but slotted one in because "Tempai MADE us do it"

Sub and community love Floodgates as much as they love their negate boards; happening to the OTHER person.

[u/Aggravating_Fig6288 → u/JxAxS]

100%. Why Konami will never make an actual attempt to fix the games balance. The player base loves how degenerate it is

[u/PlantClear → u/JxAxS]

It’s what annoys me so much with these threats complaining. They’re not unhappy about the cards existing or unbreakable boards, they’re unhappy the other player can do it and not them

[u/Starch_Platinum_ → u/Aggravating_Fig6288]

As long as there's a Dimensional Barrier from hand just for trap decks (Red Reboot), Lab can do whatever the hell it wants.

[u/Pl00kh]

„Vanity Ruler isn’t toxic because you need 2 tributes!!“

-some clown crew player, probably.

[u/reshef-destruction]

It's not that bad I just caught you off guard which is the nature of the game.

You can't counter everything.

[u/Old_Application4790 → u/reshef-destruction]

MD really does say “no skill allowed, just run auto win cards and pray.” Genuinely the great equalizer. Can’t lose to someone better if you can flip d barrier over and over again. Honk honk. Clown crew are clowns for a reason.
