>>55820825>Is there any other franchise where the mascot is totally fucking useless in the game it's from?Yes, Dark Magician and Blue Eyes White Dragon are both baby tier decks in YGO. Also why the fuck does the mascot need to be competitively viable, Gamefreak does not know shit about balance and makes shillmons fucking broken, see both forms of Megazard, you're retarded for wanting them to lean more into that.
