My Thoughts on the December 2025 Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Banlist Update

In today's video, I discuss my thoughts on the impact of the most recent banlist announced for both the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG and East Asian English Editions. I have a lot to say about how this list approaches format construction, deck power, and the impact of individual cards. I also have some predictions about how it will change the metagame of the OCG and East Asian English Editions of the game! There's no doubt that the TCG will be getting its own banlist sometime soon, so let me know in the comments which of these hits (if any) you'd like to see carried over here for our version of the game! Thank you so much for watching!!
