Woodland Sprite allows for FTK with no interaction (Discount Lifeforce Harmonizer or Typhoon) It’s basically fills the role of what restructer revolution filled before. Though I may be wrong, since you do have to draw into it first before using. Unlike original Tea Burn that can function without drawing Restructor Revolution.

the could just semi limit 2 different bamboo so youre force to run one of each.
bamboos will be busted later on might aswell just fix the problem now
problem with hitting woodland sprite is that it would just be a temporary fix to a long term problem. the bamboo engine with into the void will increase the draw power of a deck, and that draw power is the problem it will allow future ftk and otk decks to come. sooner or later a deck that makes this current burn deck look like trash will come along. the only fix to this problem is to semi limit or limit parts of the bamboo engine. my personal suggestion is to simply semi-limit both golden and cursed, that way the bamboo engine will remain strong, but not nearly as good as it currently is.
inb4 Destiny draw variant, low-level, draw sense: earth, and other skills that can help to search this card.
And the consistency falls down by a lot. You'd start with 4 cards and not 5, with lower odds of drawing a leaf straight away at the beginning, with the risk of being otked by any swarm deck and the possibility for your opponent to set counter cards like ECon.
They aren’t gonna ban anything I bet
People would just replace it with that plant searcher you can get from the card trader. I think unfortunately bamboo might get the hit. Maybe semi limit broken and cursed? Or maybe even just semi/limit golden tbh
Or just ban Woodland Sprite. Done.
Then it just gets changed into an exodia deck or people find a non-sprite variant. 3x Golden Bamboo is too much draw power for a 20 card format. Needs to be limited.
Yeah I agree. Would probably semi limit both Golden and Cursed so you're forced to run 1 of each or 2 of one. Cursed can be busted for searching capabilities
No, stop limiting everything. It shouldn't be limited.
If he's limited,people is going to use searchers anyway(card like botanical girl) to get him fast
Maybe just ban him completely
Thing is that requires a turn. And this deck isnt impossible to deal with after its first turn
The bamboo engine would still stay very strong and that's something to keep in mind... It could open the door to many other ways to ftk the opponent which is not healthy for the game.
I'm a bit skeptical about leaving this engine as it is...
For istance, cards like {{Man-Thro' Tro'}} plus venus could be much stronger into a boosted draw power deck (I've just threw the first card crossing my mind)
Man-thro' Tro':
| Pack | Neo-Impact |
| Level-up reward | -- |
| Victory against | -- |
| Card trader | -- |
| Other | -- |

Fire Princess is one copy. Yet rarely played and inconsistent.
I doubt the Bamboo engine will be getting hit. Woodland Sprite is what gives the effect damage and triggers Cursed Bamboo Sword's effect.
Botanical Girl is a lot slower than just drawing into Woodland Sprite itself. It has to be sent from the field to the Graveyard, and THEN you can activate the effect.
Enemy Controller's 2nd effect and FTH cuck this deck. Eco, Mystical Spirit of the Forest and Lifeforce Harmonizer counter it, but most of the time, running this will hurt your deck in return.
I'd also prefer them not to touch the Bamboo engine at all, as it has potential in farming (PvE).
The Bamboo engine is really not the one at fault is the Woodland Sprite, going first means that you might be able to counter the whole deck with econ or traphole or other random combo, but going second gives that deck the oportunity to FTK, the best practice right now is if you are running somehow an skilless deck just use lp boost.
If the problem gets so bad that people actually start running these guys, that will show how bad it is right there.
Also the problem isn't the counters are hard to run or based off whether you draw them going first. The problem is it's an FTK. Meaning really out of all of those cards, the ones that act as hand-traps are the ONLY cards that can stop it if you're going second. FTH and E-Con Take only happen to work if you draw them and are going first. If you're going second you just die.
Limiting/semi-limiting Golden Bamboo Sword might be the way to go, considering how many +1s they generate.
Without Woodland Sprite, however, that's all you get. Just deck thinning. Swords take up half the Deck: three of which require it to be sent to the Graveyard to be useful, three that do nothing, and three that requires at least 1 of those 6 to be active. If you're gonna run the Bamboo engine, the other half of the deck better do something with it. In this case, Woodland Sprite.
Econ doesnt slow it down. I've died a few times to it despite an econ take.
How does that work out?
They waste 1 sword and then come back.
Wait, you couldn't kill a WLS?
