To piggyback on this. I would take a look at the Magic Player Types and give Yugioh's perspective. I don't think it would be good to simply use Magic's definitions and try to force fit Yugioh players, but rather defining the terms to a Yugioh equivalent. As someone who started with Yugioh, transitioned to Magic, but still loves Yugioh content, these thoughts come from a Magic perspective, but I imagine there's plenty to flip back on the other side that I'm just oblivious to in this moment.

As a magic player this is fun because while many decks utilize there graveyard in one way or wizards provides many anti graveyard answers so playing a decks that fully relies on it can become more risky as it rises higher in the meta and people include more sideboard (or main deck) slots for it. We have multiple cards that essentially have this effect as long as they are in play, and one you can cast for free if you have it in your opening hand. There are also cards that turn off the abilities of cards in graveyard or keep you from casting spells from them. The closest to a "problematic" card like this in Magic might be Endurance. It is a creature that you can play at instant speed (spell speed 2) and when it comes into play you put a players graveyard on the bottom of their deck, but you can also exile another green card from your hand to cast it for free (although it dies after it's ability happens if you cast it this way). The issue with most graveyard hate is that they are completely dead most of the time, but since Endurance is just a decent creature to begin with it is often free to run at least a few copies in the main deck just in case.

The game isn't as long as the difference. There are decks where Rest in Peace ends the game tho. For Yu-Gi-Oh this card is like a Rest in Peace that can't be destroyed by enchantment removal since the effect wasn't initially countered and the lingering effect of it goes on. It isn't comparable due to the average turns a game takes. But let's say give Rest in Peace Flash andHexproof but u have to Sac it after 4 turns (assuming the average Magic takes 8 turns) four for each players. Essentially for Yu-Gi-Oh Dimensional Shifter lasts half the game. 2 turns under the effect than 2 turns after. Sometimes I only need 2 turns townim the game while the opponent has only gotten 1 turn.

D shifter is a problem, for two reasons, one of which I don't think many think about. The first reason is obvious - this card encourages minimal interaction. Being a lingering floodgate, once this card resolves you can't interact with it anymore, and in my opinion, lingering floodgates are a plague of the game, no matter how prevalent or good they may be. Not to mention that you can activate it turn 1, removing the little interaction you did have with something like called by. The second reason is that this card can only see play in a few decks, and what people don't think about is that that means no one prepares against D shifter because of this. When it resolves pretty much all decks just pass turn, and it feels bad because you know you shouldn't have prepared for this card because of its low usage, but that means there's nothing you could have done to stop this.

the problem with dshifter imo is that there just isn't any way to interact with it once it has resolved. An instant I win button akin to red reboot vs trap decks or dbarrier. the problem isnt that it banishes, the problem is that it is a bs lingering floodgate. I would prefer something like "If you have no cards in your GY (Quick Effect): Send this card from your hand to the GY; as long as this card remains in the GY, any card sent to the GY is banished instead. During the End Phase of the next turn: banish this card from the GY" gives you more counterplay (Ishizu Shufflers, D.D. Crow, weird engine stuff like beetrooper sting lancer or Dragonmaid Nudyarl), still has the same effect if you cant interact with it tho and on the upside, if you have a negate left for it, you can negate the mandatory banish :)

Shifter with floo is a problem because unlike magic, you cannot mulligan for it in your opening hand. If you opened it (about 50% chance for a 40 card deck), you get a free win due to how strong the effect is; if you did not open it, you auto lose because the rest of your deck stand no chance. Turning games into largely deterministic coin flip is a problem.

Would giving it the caveat that; “the effect is only active while Dimension Shifter is in the GY” fix anything? It’d nerf it by allowing you to interact with it; shuffling the card back into the player’s deck, or banishing it. IMO, the fact that it’s a lingering effect is more than a bit broken.

100% agree, most of the time this is *less* oppressive than something like a well placed rivalry or gozen match, and I think those are still fine. The fact that it's a handtrap obviously makes it a bit stronger than that, but it's partially balancing itself by being an absolutely godawful draw in grind games. Also worth pointing out that while this does turn off a lot of combo lines, many decks still have lines that let them do at least _some_ amount of setup through shifter.

its not okay at all simply because you basically cant answer it after it resolved unless you summon smth like chaos hunter, lingering floodgates are the worst type of floodgates same way dbarrier and scythe are.

@@TheColdestplay you deal with it exactly the same way you deal with any other floodgate, by either keeping it from resolving, or outing it, which in the case of shifter you can do by simply setting up as best you can and waiting for it to be over. If you don't want to or can't do that, called by, gamma, lancea, chaos hunter etc all stop it early.

Shifter is a problem not because of how "its not fair" or "its too broken", a meta in any game has some broken and unfair things. Problem with shifter is the fact its a card that fundamentally goes agaisnt card dedign konami has been pushing for the last decade with nearly every deck being graveyard reliant in some way. Just because it doesnt "impact the meta" so much it doesnt mean its not a broken card that goes against the game design making it able to shut down 80% of the decks konami has made over the last decade.

Better question why is ever new deck that comes out 1 of these 3 things? A so op it dominates meta until it gets nuked 2 the ground, b so bad they have to release support almost instantly to make it even playable, or c a solid side package to splash in decks that are rogue two metas ago?

Honestly, Tearlaments were strong but fine without the Ishizu stuff. The Ishizu cards put them over the edge, but even then I could see them hitting a few things for consistency. Limiting everything and BANNING Kit, which essentially banned Rul as well, is really fucking stupid and feels bad having even bought product for the game. Single-handedly just made me stop playing because Konami has no sense of how to balance anything and I’m not being punished by burning my wallet for it. If I play the game it’s going to be with already printed cards going forward.

i feel like this card because of what is essentially a turn one first play restriction is honestly balanced cause its not something you run a play set for you run maybe one or two of them in the deck and hope its your starting hand dependind on the opponent and their deck its only strong because of the state of the game really if konami made more banish based archtypes this would get more balanced over time to the point it becomes useless because by banishing you could be helping your opponent

Some pros say Dimension shifter might be the strongest hand trap of all time. The problem is most decks simply can not play it because its that strong and hits you too. Its a floodgate and therefore its a problem. Eventually it will cause more and more problems. Its restrictive to game design simply by existing.

I think this card existing puts a weird design philosophy on Konami. Its a floodgate that is so oppressively strong, that any future banish focused decks are garenteed to run it. This means either these decks, should they be good, be slated to hate every other deck out of the format, or will need to be designed in a worse way to prevent the deck from being too oppressive since they get to run better macro. I dont think its in the best spot rn, but for the health of the game and to open design space for the future, shifter should be banned

Dimension Shifter is good indeed, possibly better than Crow for example. Banishing cards, not just monsters is pretty good, but isnt Dimension Fissure (I know it only banishes monsters, but its a spell) or even Micro Cosmos better? Cosmos may be slower but it will not leave the field as soon as 2 turns, I guess, even in modern yugioh, some games will take 3 or 4 turns, not just 2. In some cases, even Soul Release has potencial.

Shifter is a handtrap, that's why it's better. That means you can use it to prevent your opponent setting up while going second. Fissure cannot do this. Also, fissure can be removed by stuff like harpies feather duster, shifter can't.
