WHAT IF... HERO, Salamangreat and Hydra got banned?
tl;dr GrandHarrier organized and streamed a tourney with the current banlist + specific bans on Dragonic Contact, Soulburning Link and Predaplant Drosophyllum Hydra, and the results are pretty interesting.
Here's the total breakdown of the 92 total entrants:
And here's what Top 32 looked like:
The tourney was won by peris2 on Predaplants, using Predaplanet as their Limit-1 of choice. The runner-up was on Ghostricks. Top 4 also had Crystal Beasts and Lyrilusc, and Top 8 had another Predaplant, another Lyrilusc, and 2 Battlin' Boxer players.
I highly encourage watching the VOD on GrandHarrier's Twitch channel as it was incredibly entertaining, and I also hope it'll help some people realize that Predaplants is greater than the sum of monsters tributed by Hydra.
