You basically have to play a deck with a pretty good resilience. Maliss basically has a much worse recovery game now, because they can't activate the 2nd Underworld in hand. Dormouse to 1 is probably not doing anything though. Personally I would've made it like 1 Dormouse 1 Red Hare, ban one of the Link-3s, probably the blue one.
Apo ban is no longer actually that significant to Maliss because Wizard @Ignister locks them to Cyberse so they were summoning like the Link-5 ignis and a triple co-linked Firewall over Apo a lot of times. Either way it should've happened but it hasn't. I'm guessing they're under the impression that like with Elf or Baronne, a lack of a deck that specifically wants to end at them at all cost is enough for them to exist. Apo is far more generic than they are cuz she literally needs a swarm and nothing else at all.
Tbf, they might've been right with Elf. Elf makes every lvl 2 potentially broken but the caveat is that their combo always needs a ton of setup. Elf will probably be banned right before Yummy tbf. This would be the only format where Elf and Yummy are simultaneously legal and nobody knows the implication of it.
