Cosmo is a good layer base; it has solid defense, burst resistance, and stamina. I'm confident that, if implemented into Burst Limited format, it would cause the effectiveness of attackers to drop considerably. With this said, I am against unbanning Cosmo in Burst Limited. Cosmo is a better Spriggan Requiem in more ways than one, and seeing as I couldn't get it unbanned, I don't see this going anywhere.
I agree, but the part about causing effectiveness of attackers to drop wouldn’t be cosmos fault. Nightmare isn’t really good for attack, bloody is better for mixed, nemesis is better for mixed, and buster or z achilles are the only attackers holding on. With things like Geist Fafnir and right Artemis in limited it’s giving attack a huge downside. Things like hazard and bloody have specific weaknesses and aren’t too overpowered but I can’t say the same for Geist and right Artemis, though Artemis I don’t have. I’d like to see Geist and other OP layers banned so that we can see a nice balanced format with a couple Cho-z layers.
With Zn'+Z gone and Drift being close to unusable in same spin on currently legal parts, Geist nor Right Artemis are truly OP anymore. Bearing/Bearing' and Zone+Z are the only threats, and even then, I've had Ds' and Xceed'+Z draw with (And occasionally beat) them. Paired with the correct attack layer and disk-frame combination, they can definitely be taken out. I'm not saying they aren't good , but what I am saying is that I believe you're undermining the potential of attackers. There are also a number of solid attack options for Hasbro players, so those who only purchase from brick-and-mortar stores aren't left out either.
However, unlike Geist and Right Artemis, Cosmo + Gen has enough burst resistance and defense to withstand most, if not all currently legal attackers in Burst Limited with the potential exception of Buster Xcalibur on stationary setups. At that point, we would have a meta more toxic than anything ever before, no?
