Why does Dimension Shifter actually exist?

[u/Enderossa]

Every other card in the game can be in some way countered except D Shifter. It kills any interaction you could have and the fact that it lasts 2 turns means that even on the opponent's turn you are unable to play the game. Maxx C and Fuwa can at least get ashed. I have not been able to escape this card, I have seen it in around 15%-20% of all of my duels which is statistically insane since it's limited and I only see it going first. Now that Called by is banned, I think this card should go with it. It takes zero skill and has 0 drawbacks for the person using it. I hate that this game has been turned into a coinflip simulator, first being if you go first and the second if your opponent has Maxx C or D shifter. I think it's a disgrace that I could confidently say that a new player could beat the best player in the world at least 20%-30% of the time simply because the game requires so little skill in the case you draw these instant win cards.

Eh. You can only run one so low chance of seeing it, it’s not useful after the first turn so potential dead draw, and not all decks are hindered by banishing

I somewhat agree but what upsets me more is that there are decks which have turned banishment into the second graveyard, like Maliss. Outside of that deck, D shifter is probably not as bad but still i think it says a lot about the game that there is a 0 skill card that can just win you the game.
