So what exactly makes a card or combo broken in a trading card game?
This video explains it quite well
I think it's best if you just don't post a brokencard.jpg and leave it like that, explain briefly what makes a card or combo broken and why you're salty about it
As a YuGiOh/Pokemon Player I could tell you about a lot of broken shit but this one REALLY pisses me off. Here's Firewall Dragon
This dick is one of the new Link Monsters, who get their effects activated based on wether or not there's cards in the spaces their red arrows point at.
For Firewall Dragon it gets a Once while face up effect that allows you to send cards on the field back to the hand up to the number of link monsters in the Zones Firewall is pointing at that are ALSO directly pointing at it.
In practice it sounds a bit difficult to pull off, but creating a set up where you got 3 firewalls pointing at each other was extremely easy, and pretty much allowed you to clean your opponent's board.
Since then the card became a 1 per deck limited card, but it still gives problems given how easy link monsters are summoned (basically tribute 1 monster for each arrow they have). Which creates a loop where you just tribute Firewall for more links, then revive it in a sweet spot and bounce 3/4 cards. Repeat.
Despite the numerous problems this card is giving, Konami won't ban it because it's the main card of their specially shitty 6th anime spin off. Instead they're pretty much banning every card that dares combo with it...which is just plain stupid.
Anyways, share your stories about broken children trading cards.
