Hey Guys HuntikYugiohFan back again

Ok so this is my third post today, i really am enjoying this blogging and hope you all are too but enough about myself and the Anime lets get into the juicy stuff. My current thoughts about the game.

Ok so for post i want to talk about the ban list and things i feel should happen. This is not what is going to happen or what i predict will happen. This is that given the choice to make the ban list, what would i do.

Ok so first lets luck back at this past format. So to begin with we saw the death of synchro cat and otk's. We all thought this would be the end of the fast paced format. Little did we know we would be going into a format where to win all you needed was money and a small child to operate your deck. Yes i am talking about the infamous lightsworn deck. This deck has won multiple shonen jumps now and countless locals and regionals since the format change. In the U.S it hadn't won any major championships since the change but here in the U.K it had won national championships aswell as UKAYpro championships. So further down the line we finally get hidden arsenal and a few new synchros that were really gonna change the game. First we got catastor and mist wurm giving us a new level 5 monster who was better than android and a level 9 other than gottoms, but we also got the already OCG limited Brionac. Crazily enough they felt it was good to leave the card at unlimited here in TCG. So we saw the uprise in zombies now with a way to dump mezuki and easily make synchros it was fast becoming the new tele dad deck. It finally makes a name for itslef but once again falls short of the championship title. Since SJC L.A many players have been experimenting with Elemental Hero Absolute Zero beleiving it to be techable (if thats even a word) in zombies and any deck that plays 1 or 2 waters. This led to the crazy jump in price for silver rare miracle fusion from it bieng £2 to £10 - £15. How crazy !!!


Ok so first lets solve the lightsworn problem

Judgment Dragon becomes limited. With this card limited there is less threat of a OTK. So often bottomless, wing blast and various other removal cards are used on other monsters such as lyla and celestia meaning your own decks runs out of steam as they get the Judgment Dragon. By putting it to 1 as soon as the Dragon is removed its gone, meaning lightsworn have to find a new way to win before decking out.

Charge Of The Light Brigade becomes limited. This card is a rota on steroids so why is it that charge remains at 3 while rota at 1. Charge is too good and sets up the whole deck pretty much, and the argument of they dont open with charge all the time is a floored argument. All we need to do is watch videos on youtube of the deck and count how many times charge has made the hand playable.

Next the problem of Zombies

Mezuki becomes limited. This card should never have come back to 2. With 2 you open the deck up to crazy combo's and the use of burial from the different dimension. At 1 we shut of the crazy combo's and slow down the deck to a reasonable pace.

Golbin Zombie becomes limited. Goblin makes the deck too consistent and easily abused. Like mezuki this card at 1 forces the true zombie players to think outside the box.

Brionac becomes limited. Brionac is good and makes a lot of decks better and has a fair effect and by limiting it, it simply stops people abusing it.

Next Blackwings

Black Whirlwind becomes limited. After much thought i consider this a good card and by limiting it you force the player to think more about the plays. Limiting whirlwind doesnt hurt them as much as you would think as the deck still works by itself similiar to how lightsworn still work without 3 charge. By limiting it players will be less likely to open with the card aswell as make the player think twice before playing it on the field.

Burial From The Different Dimension becomes limited. This basically shuts off the vayu turbo strategy that players would try to abuse especially with my change in the restricted list.

Lastly my altercations to the restricted list

Dark Magician Of Chaos becomes limited. DMOC has no real deck it can go in nor does it have a spell to be abused such as monster reborn anymore it is also a out to synchros and gives spellcasters a monster that could push them to the top of tier 2.

Crush Card Virus becomes limited. Since its mass release in turbo pack i feel this card should be limited. It gives both players the comeback and with so very little targets in the top decks now it wouldnt be as great as it once was and the fact it is readily available means all players can use it not just the rich ones.


So thats my thoughts. Again may i point out this isnt my prediction it is what i would do if i had control of the ban list. Either way hope you enjoyed reading this and it gives you some insight into what other players want to happen.
