Gale would be nuts @2, Kalut isnt as broken and will give BW just the bump they need.
And why Shi En.. Sams are barely played as it is

BLS won't be banned, or the gold reprint in OCGlands would be pointless

Rabbit [b]Yes[/b]
Grapha [b]DWs are crap[/b]
Zenmaighty [b]Yeah probably[/b]
Dragonfly[b] Either this[/b] [b]or hornet, not both[/b]
Hornet [b]See above[/b]
Dandylion (is totally srs) [b]WAT[/b]

A reasoning for Grapha not going to 2 is certainly not that DWs are crap.

Last I checked, DWs still have the ability to top, and do actually top in the OCG on occasion. Just they're an underused deck type now, especially since most people don't seem to know how to run them.

Well... I guess semi-ing it is reasonable. I'm still not completely sure it will happen, but there's certainly a chance.

Earth not going to one? So you think agents deserve their Stratos to stay at three? And stay top tier?
DW arn't crap, quite the opposite. And if they were crap I wouldn't of put him on there.
Both can ruin some consistency. Not as likely, but it'd be a smarter move.
Dandylion was a dumb idea.
how does anyone not see an unplayed card not going to 3?
And D-Draw is just what I think. Here I am thinking this is an oppinionated topic <_<

DWs are a combo deck, and thus are overall inconsistent. Also, they lack mutliple winning formulas given their only good ace monster is Grapha, and they can't Synchro except by Raven. Compared to other decks such as T.G. Agents, it's easy to say they're not the best.dek.

Grapha is fine at 3.

My list wins

I agree mostly except shine ball. Why kill the deck? Agents are good, and can still be decent with one Earth or something. I just don't see why the deck should die.

Not sure how serious... But most Agent builds only run 2 Venus anyway because after 1 gets used then all the other copies are 1600 vanillas.

q4e

It really wont solve anything, because your still not removing any consistency, or sacky boss monsters.

This topic must remain serious otherwise it will be locked. We must produce worthwhile discussion by talking with each other about the pros and cons of certain cards in the metagame.

Overall, I see many things that should be banned, and should have been banned long ago, as well as others that should be reduced in number, but simply stating lists of cards I want to be banned would be biased based on what one is _-hurt over losing to before.

Disagree? Feel free to post your thoughts on my choices. As well, please post your own Banlist predictions.

Those are my thoughts, honestly.

Stratos is Limited because it can search itself, not because it's an archetype searcher. Earth can't search itself, and Agents have very few targets in the first place: Mercury (sucks), Venus (very good), Jupiter (eh), Saturn (epic, but bad), and Mars (meh). Only if you run Sanctuary Agents do you get access to Hyperion.

If being an archetype searcher was all the criteria for limiting, Infernity Archfiend, Black Whirlwind (wait...), Gravekeeper's Recruiter (which CAN search itself), etc should all be limited. Earth on its own is just a +0 searcher that needs to be Normal Summoned.

And anyone who genuinely believes Royal Oppression is anything but bad for the game clearly doesn't understand what it's used for. It's not one of those cards you just flip over for the hell of it. You flip it when you either already SSed a ton, have cards that bypass it (Grandmaster, Vayu) or don't SS much at all (Gadgets/Anti-meta). If you're winning, you can shut down your opponent's strategies and gain advantage with ease, and if they dont get rid of it immediately, they will almost definitely lose.

Oppression is pretty much a guaranteed +0. It'll either kill whatever is being SSed/trying to SS, or the opponent will have to use something to destroy it, like Solemn or MST. If they don't, every SS from then on is a +1, plus it locks down almost all strategies. The game is very much dependant on playing numerous low ATK/Level monsters and using them to make bigger monsters.

Unlke other SS lockdown cards like Fossil Dyna and Kristya, which simply deny the ability to SS, Oppression negates the cards that SS and destroys them. Whereas Fossil or Kristya simply creates dead cards until they're removed, at which point the opponent will have tons of swarm options, Oppression plays for keeps, turning dead cards into advantage by destroying them. The main way to break Oppression is to drop your opponent's LP, and with battle being the primary form of LP damage, this is much easier said than done.

With wind-ups going berzerk? That would be terrible.

My entire reasoning for wanting it

It's no different than wanting cat so I can have Insta-Ragin, but Airbellum and such make that impossible, not to mention Xyz ,_,

*sets up Engineer nest*
*uses G-mod tools to drag you in front of it*
*grabs popcorn*

You want the format to get even worse?
