>>6813850Well, Normal monsters were probably going to become abnormal in any case, Effect monsters are a straight upgrade in every way except for a few cards that give huge bonuses for running specific normal monsters. Link monsters were meant to deal with the powercreep somewhat, but it failed because even though it limits the summoning of extra deck monsters, it doesn't limit summoning monsters from the main deck, hand, or graveyard. Even worse, Links are a straight upgrade to synchros since they don't need tuners, so the result is that a bunch of link monsters just get spammed.
And just FUCK Firewall Dragon in general.
