Moreover; There are actually Tuner Synchro monsters in the game now, contrary to the time when Halq was legal where there were a handful of bad ones. There are multiple archetypes that put a focus on summoning Tuner Synchro monsters these days that would make Halq's second effect to properly cheat the sons of bitches out busted. A couple of those decks are already stupidly strong, and picrel just came out in the OCG but it's also consisted of a bunch of strong effects that are moderately difficult to interact with.

Halq was not future-proofed in the slightest. It is far too generic and requires too many railguards to keep it in-check that simply were not present. Ace=Zero is perfectly fine because it stays in Sky Striker's lane and doesn't really do much to interrupt that. You can keep the setup in your pocket to crap out Bagooska, I guess, or 2 Link 1 monsters for Yummy after Hornet Drone gets banned in the near future.
