No.
30 years of CCG history has shown that even for control decks, a thinner, more consistent deck is better than a fatter one.

Because surprisingly, it’s almost always better to try to win the game as efficiently as possible than it is to try to stall out the game to fatigue with a larger deck.

Everyone gets to use him and got a free copy, so no one has an advantage over another.
Then yeah as others mentioned, the extra card bloat.
isnt yugioh running 60 card decks right now?
Aggro players who deal 30 damage by turn 5, but the opponent hasn’t exploded yet:

I’m not sure about it’s current rule book, but for a long, long time you could run a full play set of every card in the game in a single deck if you wanted to.
Unsurprisingly, the best decks always went for the minimum count.

yugioh is 40 card min with 60 card max
Ah, they eventually added that in. It didn’t start with a max size limit. You could have an unlimited sized deck (well, other than the limits of how many copies of each card were allowed)
In all the many years i played yugioh you always tried very hard to cut your deck down to the minimum of around 40 cards. The only exceptions were always decks that milled a big amount of your cards. For example there is a card that mills cards until your deck is as big as your opponents. So with 60cards its at least a 20 card burn.

Also i believe the limit to 60 was introduced to the game because someone trolled in a turnament with a deck of a few thousand cards with search engines. He played into time outs by searching cards for half an hour every single time.

The deck limit was introduced in 2007 or 2008 IIRC, though it already existed in games before that. The reason was most likely because someone entered a tournament with a 2222 cards deck and the tournament organizers had no choice but to allow it (in the end he was still disqualified because he couldn’t shuffle the deck properly).

He played a deck with more than 2K cards.
Only shuffling it did take more than a hour.
Good history.

The upside surpass the downside for sure but say “for nothing” is exagerating, 10 extra cards hurt the consistency but 10 more health helps so much against OP aggro decks the players decided pay the fair price.

A diluted deck is usually a bad thing in HS. The ability to tutor and thin your deck is what has made some decks very powerful. You may not see it, but having 10 extra cards can greatly reduce the chance of drawing a card you need for a specific situation, such as a board clear. Give it a week or two when the numbers are analyzed and you will see that Prince is not that powerful. As has been stated, fatigue is not a win con these days.
The extra health helps for sure but Druids ability to tutor what it wants basically is what makes the card so a good pairing. Ironically it’s not making the class oppressive it’s just making the class playable in the meta again. Same goes with Warlock, which is actually seeing play again and doing well.
IF every deck in the meta was 40/40 you might have a point but this is no Genn/Baku fiasco by any stretch.
