Why was SPYRAL Quik Fix limited instead of banned?
Why has this card been limited rather than banned?


Konami rarely bans a card directly after it being unrestricted. Usually they gradually restrict cards: first semi-limit, then limit, and if it is still Overpowered then they ban it.

For that to happen the card has to be really broken or well be some key resource that Top Championship Decks abuse of (as to balance the format).

Another reason is that Konami usually lets their new archetypes "live" longer before nerfing them. SPYRAL archetype is rather recent to date, so they probably don't want to kill it when many competitive players are still investing heavily on those decks (an economic move if you ask me).

Banning that card would heavily affect all SPYRAL decks, therefore strongly affecting many players throughout the world as well as notably changing the balance of the current format. 

Surely there must be other reasons they did this, but those are probably internal to the company and not something they openly share.
