Touché. But as Symbols does nothing wrong then why ban it? It's too drastic. Semi-limiting something is less of a big deal than banning it.
[/quote]

It was mainly because the only use people every find for Symbols is infinite summon loops. Sorta like Mass Driver.

But OK. *undoes every change related to Symbols*

Sure, it's been needing a ban since it first came out.

Why are these limited? You only need one to do their respective OTK's anyway. It doesn't make their OTK any less difficult to pull off.

[quote]Lonefire Blossom[/quote]
What are you intending to stop here? Furthermore, if it's just one target then isn't it possible to just ban the single target that gives you a problem?

[quote]Unlimited:

Chaos Sorcerer[/quote]
It's a free +1, once per turn, every turn as long as it's face up on the field. It's also a level 6, in the age of Synchros. It's also in a meta where getting light monsters and dark monsters into the grave is amazingly easy (Lightsworn and Armageddon Knight + Dark Grepher + Destiny Draw) You want to unlimit that? Terrible, TERRIBLE idea. The biggest problem on your fake list.

[quote]Advanced Ritual Art[/quote]
And yet Demise is at 3....

stop using this

ekikin's list was good until he introduced semi-limits


@Pika: (Regarding Lonefire @1)
[quote]What are you intending to stop here? Furthermore, if it's just one target then isn't it possible to just ban the single target that gives you a problem?[/quote]

As long as there is a Lonefire in your deck, you can use another one and any revival card to start a combo that will give you almost any big anime synchro, colossal arm otk, or a [s]hundred billion[/s] lot of cards.

Lonefire to 1 is the only thing that Konami can do to Debris decks without getting retarded.

@Flame Dragon:
[quote]Cold Wave I'm not sure
Royal Tribute Why?
Pot of Duality It's Pot of Greed only you trade a second card for you choice of 3 and you can't special summon for a turn. Should be at 0.[/quote]

Go away.

@burnpsy:
stall much?

Guys.

I admitted that it sucked as I posted it. I was merely asking how badly I screwed up. Yeah, I agree with pretty much every point that was raised in response.

Also, the Lonefire to 1 thing was merely because people always go Lonefire -> Lonefire -> Monster. I'd think that removing that slight bit of skill-less and cost-less deck-thinning would be a good thing...

Good Countdown doesn't run any of that stall that Burnspy unlimited (although it still shouldn't be unlimited)
[/quote]

This is precisely why my failure of a list didn't ban Countdown (I'd thought of that too...).

Meh, I'll redo it later.

Juust because I feel like it, I'll respond to various ideas I saw among the last two pages and maybe add more at the end.

[quote name=':: -OmeGa DeviL- ::' timestamp='1295711003' post='4951358']
Ban Cold wave, Reborn and Gateway
Limit Darksoul/Troll and Debris
Unlimit Skill Drain and bottomless
[/quote]
Personally, I think you should limit Troll and Darksoul rather than one or the other.
This suggestion actually looks good.


[quote name='Mikhail Tal' timestamp='1295735510' post='4952607']
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon should be banned. It is terrible for the game, kills an entire type and makes you feel cheated if you lose to it.
[/quote]
Pretty much.


[quote name='TheTurtleOnceCalledGod' timestamp='1295738209' post='4952704']
TBH, if Chimeratech Fortress Dragon was banned, Machina Gadgets and the like would gain more popularity due to their key weakness being killed. Though, people would just side System Down if they really were hit by it.
[/quote]
They made System Down for a reason, but nobody uses it because of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon. Ban Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and people will probably start using System Down again (if Machinas are really so much a threat as you claim).

Overload Fusion should be at 3. Its only good target is Overdragon and that should be banned anyway.
[/quote]
Word.

Banned:

Mass Driver
Mind Master
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon
Cold Wave
Royal Tribute
Black Whirlwind

Limited:

Chimeratech Overdragon [b]Only need one for Future Fusion. Waiting two turns for Overload Fusion and 800 more ATK points isn't that great of a play. Ban this.[/b]
Destiny Hero - Malicious
Five-Headed Dragon [b]The only point is to say no to Future Fusioning it and Dragon's Mirroring it if done in inverse order or if two are needed in two turs. Either way, I don't see the point.[/b]
Magician of Faith [b]If the banworthy spells are banned, this goes to 3.[/b]
Gateway of the Six [b]Ban this.[/b]
Worm Zero [b]No point: the only card that people use to summon it is Future Fusion, which only requires one and ditches all the worms for Worm Victory OTK. Sounds like we should just ban Future Fusion instead.[/b]
Honest
Lonefire Blossom

Semi-Limited:

Card Trooper
Ceasefire [b]I'm not too convinced. This still can be a lot of burn on one card. On average, with a field of two monsters each, 2000 points. If either or both players have three, that's 2500 or 3000. It's a chainable -1, so don't use the Magic Cylinder "You Suck At Yugioh!" argument for this card.
I guess we can try it out.[/b]

Unlimited:

Metamorphosis
Chaos Sorcerer [b]Hell no! In most cases an easy to special summon level 6 monster with a +1 monster effect. I still can't believe it even got off the banlist.[/b]
Advanced Ritual Art
Gold Sarcophagus
Bottomless Trap Hole
Skill Drain
Magical Stone Excavation
Mystical Space Typhoon
Ojama Trio [b]Maybe....[/b]
Snipe Hunter
Ultimate Offering
Royal Oppression [b]Now you're just making me feel a little queasy. As much as I am for reducing Special Summoning in the game (which hopeful this would do), it almost cancels out Special Summoning completely at 3. Even Blackwings ran Oppressions to maintain control of the game.[/b]
Scapegoat [b]I'm not sure on that. An instant +3?[/b]
Solemn Judgment [b]Half your Life Points is always payable, and this stops everything Solemn Warning doesn't and some that it does. As much as I don't like how easy to use and powerful this card is, I guess maybe I could see a format with this at 3. It would certainly prevent slippery slope games.[/b]
Gravity Bind [b]This and the next four are too much stall. A deck shouldn't have to load itself with tons of destruction cards just to deal with the stall cards in a format.[/b]
Level Limit - Area B
Marshmallon
Spirit Reaper
Swords of Revealing Light
Solemn Judgment [b]Didn't I see this earlier on the list?[/b]

I agree with the rest.


Rather spend too much time thinking about more cards for the list, I'll just post this one more idea burnpsy thought about, since I agree:
Banned
[b]Final Countdown[/b] - heck, the deck can even be built without Continuous stall cards

Go away.

Um....no. Give me reason for wanting Royal banned and Pot of Duality at 3. I never heard any talk about Royal being bad so I can only assume that is coming from the new meta, something I have no knowledge of. As for Duality give me a reason what good it brings to the game. All I see is it makes deck sizes 37.

[quote name='Placido.' timestamp='1295778037' post='4953976']
I lol'd when flame dragon said maybe to banning Cold Wave
[/quote]
As I've said I've stopped following the meta and while I remember Cold Wave did have some hate before I stopped really following the game I didn't remember it being this bad. I can understand it being banned since it promotes OTKs but in a good list where that isn't as large an issue as it is now. In the end it doesn't big much good to the game and since it's main use is for pushing for game, yea it can be banned.

Why post in a banlist topic and post fixes when you have no idea what the current meta is?
[/quote]
I never really followed the meta game, but I've always been relatively active in ban list threads. This is because the current meta means nothing since when you make a proper ban list since the whole meta game changes and the rules you've been playing by are thrown out the window. Plus a lot of card are just clearly bad for the game and you don't need meta knowledge to know that things like DAD, JD, BWW, DH, and so forth need to go.

Just because I feel like shairing, this is an old list of cards I have down as needing to be banned.
