The problem with Fifth Omni is that their gimmick (Take Damage, do X) is that X has basically become take care of anything.

Destroy a Monster/Spell/Item, Draw a card, Gain a Gauge, Gain a Crit etc.... When you only need 1 damage to do trigger everything that it takes another deck ALOT more to do, it gonna be stupid.

Then there's the new Life Gain Weapon..... So slowly dying from you own Strategy is something we can't have now? There's no longer an inherent risk to their Strategy anymore.

As for Jackknife and Omni Drum and even Kaiser Drum,

Jack and Kaiser's effects require that you deal with them or else anything you call to the field is pointless (Jack can Counter Pop, so you need to attack it twice or link attack at least, and Kaiser will deal with it come its turn)

Drum is basically a psuedo Taunt that "Trades" no matter what. You attack directly? Your Monster's gone. You attack it? Dragoenergy or Shield. Oh and they choose to Counter with self-Damage? That's basicallty a free Destroy on top of what they play.
