** While Tachyon Dragon Domination itself would not be immediately nerfed (largely because the deck as a whole would be unplayable), Konami would spare no mercy on it in the March 2024 banlist: Tachyon Transmigration, Shien's Spy, Vengeful Servant, ''and'' [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Coach_King_Giantrainer Coach King Giantrainer]] (which the deck can easily make to draw 3 when going first) were '''all''' placed on Limited 1[[note]]keep in mind that the deck already ran the Limited 1 [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Divine_Dragon_Knight_Felgrand Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand]][[/note]], thus killing the FTK with extreme prejudice, and [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Galactic_Spiral_Dragon Galactic Spiral Dragon]], one of their main extenders, was placed on Limited 3 to restrict their access to staple Traps. A later update gutted the Skill with a massive slew of nerfs: the Skill now prevents you from Normal or Special Summoning monsters except Mizar's Dragons (locking the deck out of Ice Dragon's Prison completely), the first effect no longer gives a free Set you get off of its first effect and became once per Duel, you now have to control Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon to activate the second effect which also now specifically requires you to return a Dragon-type monster to the hand, and the card searched by the second effect is now Set instead of added to the hand (allowing the opponent to target Tachyon Transmigration with backrow removal). Tellingly, not long after the skill got hit, ''all'' of the restricted Tachyon cards were immediately taken off the Limited list thereafter due to the deck instantly dying off overnight post-nerf.

** [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Royal_Rebel%27s_Heavy_Metal Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal]], Roa's ace monster, is a Level 8 2500 ATK beatstick that allows the player who summoned it by tributing any Level 5 or higher monster to destroy one monster on the opponent's field and have its ATK be transferred to Heavy Metal for the remainder of the turn. As a 2500 ATK powerhouse it's certainly no slouch on its own, but in Rush format destruction abilities are incredibly powerful and have potential to completely secure victory for the user, so in order to prevent overpowered synergy with other powerful bosses like Dragias, it ended up Limited to 3 upon release.

Additionally, most of Roa's stronger skills for the Royal Rebel archetype come with restrictions that specifically prevent Heavy Metal from attacking your opponent directly with a gargantuan ATK value after proving how busted it could be with its effect made easier to use.



** Dragonic Resonance enables EARTH Dragons like [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Piercing_Dragon_Bunker_Strike Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike]], [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Gravity_Press_Dragon Gravity Press Dragon]], and [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Dragonic_Slayer Dragonic Slayer]], with its effect allowing the player to buff up to two Dragons' ATK by 500 and Level by 4 once per turn if you control an EARTH Effect Monster, those monsters have 2300 ATK or less, and your deck has only Dragon monsters. In addition to the ATK buff being a "kill the opponent's biggest monster" button since it brings Bunker Strike and Slayer to 2800 ATK in a format where nothing has more than 2500 ATK on the opponent's turn, the Level increase also interacts with a bunch of card effects: Dragonic Slayer's backrow destruction becomes basically guaranteed for sweeping away the opponent's defensive Traps, the drawbacks of [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sportsdragon_Slugger Sportsdragon Slugger]] and [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Sportsdragon_Pitcher Sportsdragon Pitcher]] become an afterthought, and things like [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Music_Princess%27s_Recital Music Princess's Recital]] become useless. Bunker Strike's ability to dig through the player's deck made it very consistent, the Skill made it very powerful, and the December 2023 banlist took a huge shot at Dragonic Resonance by putting both Bunker Strike and Sportsdragon Pitcher on Limited 3, severely restricting the number of good monsters the deck has access to. Pitcher would later be burfed to Limited 2 in March 2024 after more powerful cards came along, allowing Resonance decks to run it again but still making it exclusive with Seahorse Carrier for anything else.

* Hell-Tuning Invasion was a Skill for Roa that let you sends a card from your hand to the Graveyard once per turn to flip all Defense Position monsters on the field into face-up Attack Position, make all your Level 4 or lower Fiends become Level 5, and reduce the Levels of all Level 5 or higher monsters your opponent controls by 4 while preventing your Level 6 or lower monsters from attacking that turn, as long as all monsters with 1400 or more ATK in your deck were LIGHT Fiends. This was the dream Skill for the Royal Rebel archetype: the level manipulation made it trivial to activate the Royal Rebels' effects, which required you to Tribute Summon them using Level 5 or higher monsters, and the level drop and battle position change forced every monster into kill range of [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Royal_Rebel%27s_Heavy_Metal Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal]] (as an added bonus, since it only reduced the Levels of High-level monsters, it meant Heavy Metal could destroy the opponent's bigger monsters instead of their smaller ones) and made every non-Maximum vulnerable to the field nuke of [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Royal_Rebel%27s_Invasion Royal Rebel's Invasion]]. This resulted in Royal Rebels dominating the meta with their ability to indiscriminately destroy the opponent's board, shut down any attempt to hide behind Set monsters, and punch the opponent for monstrous amounts of damage every turn. Because of how overloaded it was compared to other Rush Duel skills, Hell-Tuning Invasion was nerfed in April 2024: it now only chooses up to two opposing monsters and either sets their level to 4 if they were face-up or flips them into Attack Position if they were face down, and only allows you to attack with monsters with ATK between 2300 and 4000, limiting the damage you can deal with Heavy Metal (it now also only boosts the Level of 2 of your monsters, which isn't a huge change).

While not as dominant as Dragonic Resonance, the deck was still prominent enough to receive a nerf in the December 2023 lists, putting Clear Ice Dragon on Limited 3.

* [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/King%27s_Majesty King's Majesty]], obtained by leveling up Roa Kassidy, is a Trap that shuffles a Level 1 Fiend Normal Monster from your Graveyard into your deck in order to negate an attack. This made it a natural fit for Roa's Fiend-type Royal Rebels, which not only got a lot of decent cards in early 2024 but also some very powerful Skills to make them much easier to use. King's Majesty makes the deck resilient to counterattacks by being the most versatile battle Trap in the format at the time, being able to negate any attack with no strings attached for a trivial cost and stopping even Maximum Monsters to give you a chance to destroy them in return; after Royal Rebels made #2 in the GR Tournament, King's Majesty was put on Limited 3, meaning players wanting to run it need to cut a copy of Heavy Metal.

** This "nerf", however, was not enough to deal a blow to Onomats. In fact, it had the opposite effect - it made Onomats ''more'' consistent and dominant than ever before, even pushing them up to Tier 0 for a time. Because of their extremely dominant presence in both competitive and ranked play, Onomatoplay was nerfed ''again'' in the October 2021 banlist, and Konami did not hold back. Not only does the skill only work once per duel, but it can now only be activated if your deck contains 12 or more Onomat monsters while your extra deck has at least 2 Utopia monsters[[note]]Both available Utopia Xyz monsters at the time of the change were Box URs[[/note]], no non-Number or non-ZW Rank 5 or higher monsters[[note]]Preventing use of popular staple Xyz monsters like Photon Strike Bounzer and Constellar Ptolemy M7, both Rank 6[[/note]], and it can now only be activated on Turn 3 and later.
