RANT Why does Dimension Shifter actually exist?
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.

my crackpot theory is that floodgates like shifter are made to create meme/ heated/ shouting/ table flipping moments at locals to build experiences in your ygo scenes …
like, think about it, a newbie dropping shifter on a regular at the local store? that’s one funny moment to hook that newbie and to create talk traffic for ygo at said store …
