[color=#000066][b]OT: Needs to go right back on the banlist. Too many spams, and wasn't needed anyway IMO. Monsters spam enough, and don't need a Level 8 generic boss.[/b][/color]

Sadly, those are fan words. In the real world...

...this shouldn't have been unbanned. Or, at the very least, they should've tried with this card limited only for 1 format.

And Dark Magician of Chaos should NEVER return.

It's funny because it genuinely [b]isn't [/b]one of the most powerful cards in the game. Of course, summoning it usually gives you game if you're set against other things, but a lot of other things can be argued to be more powerful. Yata, DMoC, CED - EotE, Exchange of the Spirit, Cyber Jar, Fiber Jar.

Precisely. Konami know very well the impact of those cards in the game.

Their decision of Limiting BLS is somewhat forgivable. In a meta full of 2700-3000 ATK beaters that do anything from Once per turn destruction, negating Special Summons, returning from the Grave endlessly, and nuking the field like a boss, it's understandable to think that BLS wouldn't do as much harm as it turned out.

[/quote]Ok, one of the most powerful on its own. Yata, Exchange, and CED arent really that good by themselves. CED needs Yata and vice versa. Exchange needs other cards. But yeah. I see your point.

Personally, I think Konami unbanned this card as a way to say sorry for killing so many decks at the same time.
[/quote]No, I think Konami unbanned it because they were high.

[/quote]Sure. A 3000 ATK beatstick with an effect to eliminate every card on the field and in each player's hand and inflict damage to your Opponent's Life Points to ultimately OTK couldn't possibly work without Yata-Garasu.

Okay, this discussion is dumb, it should obviously be banned. Anyone who plays competitively knows this deep down.

So here's a better discussion: What would elimination of ignition priority mean for BLS?

Logic? Konami has no logic AT ALL, that's a fact.

OT: Konami unbanned this to troll us. Now let's wait for an even bigger troll to be unbanned, then they unban CED and massive chaos happens.

*shot and burned over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again*

They unbanned this so they could sell more copies of Gold Series 2012 and didn't banned it on the March 2012 banlist because it just got a reprint in the OCG Gold Series. That's the reasoning I can come up with.

Cards like these made me quit the game, since I can't even have fun in casual play anymore if people just constantly win by top-decking cards like these.
