So much new Archetypes coming out, and support for older ones. Could we be seeing a major meta shift?
I doubt we see meta changing as newer ones come

Lavalval Chain
I'm just wondering why Chain was hit when Djinn was the problem. Maybe they're anticipating Clownblade to be absurd.
YGOrganization said:To look more into the Lavalval Chain reason, you have to evaluate, what does Lavalval Chain do that other cards do not? Surely, if Foolish Burial doesn't need to be banned and Mathematician can be at 3, this card doesn't need to be out-right banned? Infernity doesn't do much, and the Oni-FTK is still completely possible with the card Forbidden let alone at one (as stated in the question, the correct hit is Daigusto Emeral to 1) so what's going on here? Even Djinn is banned!
Well, the answer to this is simple: Lavalval Chain dumps Spell and Trap Cards.
It has started off rather slow with Breakthrough Skill and I'm sure we all see Clownblade on the horizon (still a Deck, by the way), but Blaze Accelerator Reload and Galaxy Cyclone have really buffed this particular part of Lavalval Chain, completely ignoring its topdecking ability. As we move forward, we can see things like the upcoming Red Cocoon as well. Lavalval Chain is a Rank 4 Effect Veiler, MST, or even Raigeki in a Volcanic engine Deck. This is what separates it from the pack of Mathematician and friends. It's a unique and ever increasingly powerful buff that while seldom abused, was just asking for it.

Yeh I might have to give up on infernity now. Sad since I had half finished the irl deck of it :(
