Hey it's that time of the year again [Real Banlist Discussion]


Recommended Posts

What's the source for the apparent list? I know it was apparently on Pojo' date=' I mean where did THEY get it from?

[/quote']

 

Well, apparently it was leaked by the same guy who leaked the last list (some Japanese top player), but there is no proof. It was also posted on some other forums before pojoers found it.

 

Anyway, this thread is based on speculations and the "leaked" banlist has a very good chance of actually being accurate.

 

In that case, I'm satisfied enough on its accuracy to give my opinion on the list (not that anyone cares):

 

Forbidden:

Elemental Hero Stratos (Pre-emptive weakening of Absolute Zero? I don't get why this is getting banned without them moving RotA as well... Knowing Konami, they would likely Semi it first, but still.)

Necroface (I understand why they did this.)

Brain Control (Perfectly justified.)

 

Limited:

Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier (Not worth noting.)

Judgment Dragon (Leave it to Konami to not ban this... Well, at least with Beckoning at 1, it's harder to reuse this thing.)

Magician Of Faith (About time. This thing is perfectly balanced and didn't diserve a ban.)

Tragoedia (Since many see this as better than Gorz, and Gorz was Limited, I expected something like this.)

Burial From A Different Dimension (...I know a few things that can be abused with this, of course, but why?)

Beckoning Light (...Why not just get rid of the broken LIGHT monsters instead of doing this?)

 

Semi - Limited:

Cyber Dragon (Konami: "We realize that we were too harsh on Cyber Dragon decks, so here's Zwei and we'll even toss in another Cyber Dragon. We at Konami hope that this makes up for this minor/negligible issue.")

Gladiator Beast Bestiari (...Snapping back to their senses? Well, Konami seems to want to do only half of the smart changes. Ban Stratos but leave RotA at 1. Semi Bestiari, leave Gyzarus alone.)

Solemn Judgment (Quick, everyone, get your 6x Solemn before the price goes back up!)

 

Newly Unlimited:

Chaos Sorcerer (...They could've just skipped the part where this was Semi'd.)

Allure Of Darkness (:x)

Gold Sarcophagus (See MoF, replace the word "Ban" with "Semi".)

Bottomless Trap Hole (...I think someone with more logic than usual made the list this time.)

That apparent list seems to be fairly decent, I have a problem with RotA not being semi'ed and JD/DAD not being banned, but besides that it's pretty fair. If that ends up being or is close to the actual list, I'll be thoroughly surprised. Not only will the list slow down the meta (but not so much as to destroy it) it also helps speed up slower decks; seems fair, mostly.

Stupid Konami Worker: Oi' date=' boss. Can't we put Besti back a' 2 by unlimiting bottumless?

 

Konami Boss: BRRRRilliant! *curls moustache*

 

Stupid Konami Worker: Hyuck hyuck hyuck derrrrp...

[/quote']

 

How is that bad? Seems pretty good.

 

The only stupid thing I see in there is the implication that there's something wrong with Bestiari at 3.

Bestiari is no problem at 3, the problem is the constant Gyzarus summons with it at 3. The logical thing would be to ban Gyzarus (as it does nothing to limit since you only need one to spam it) but of course it isn't really that broken comparable to CED-EotE so it isn't :S [/Konami Logic]

Beckoning Light will get limited? I use only one Beckoning Light anyway.

 

LS uses more than 1 Beck to recycle milled JDs.

 

Konami's logic.

 

JD is broken and Beckoning Light supports him. LIMIT BECK AND LEAVE JD AT 1. DERP! DERP!

 

Q4E.

 

Also' date=' if you're only running 1 Beckoning in LS, you're doing it wrong.

[/quote']

 

This, I run only 1 JD (because I only own one) but 2-3 beckonings, almost no problem.

 

when you cut down to 1 beckoning, chances of milling your only hope for JD is up there, and Monster Reincarnation is good, but can only when your in advantage.

unlimiting rota.. god' date=' here comes the dhero parade again.

[/quote']

 

With 0 Stratos?

 

When was RotA added to the unlimited?


I can tell we're gonna be missing stratos come march if this list is for real. I don't know why they would ban him anyway' date=' with konami logic, banning an archetype-specific search card doesn't make since.

 

I smell a preemptive lolycm coming on.

[/quote']

 

And archetype specific searcher who spans 3 Archetypes and helps speed up most any deck when used with a D-Hero draw engine. Yeah, that makes 0 sense.

I want stratos back at 3. I don't care how "broken" he is. IMO he's like stardust' date=' a good card that some people dislike just because they can't get over it.

 

(And before anyone says "Yes the hell l can", then answer this. What is your f***ing problem then!?)

 

No offense.

[/quote']

 

Stratos at 3 leaves his 2nd effect in the picture, which is obnoxious as mess. And the D-Draw engine would speed up way too much.
