It's in the same boat with Reinforcement of the Army and yet, you've banned that. Free searching like that is considered bad card design, no?
[/quote]141, I don't consider as bad.

ROTA is searches an entire type. Convocation searches an archetype. That's the main difference between the two.

EDIT: Alright, so now I have to decide on what to do with Gishki Shadow, Gishki Abyss, Vision Gishki, Zeal Gigas, and Aquamirror.

I'm thinking 2, 0, 2, 1, 1-3

And you completely ignore the points made by myself and Blood...

Like most ban list topics...this was disappointing.

So what if ROTA searches a type? It serves the same damn purpose as ROTA does in its archetype..."broken" is "broken" regardless of being arch type specific.

One for One is just as bad...it gets a monster to the field and sets up your grave for future plays....come on man...at least be consistent when using your own logic.

[/quote]Even if we were talking about One for One, it doesn't matter because 141 is fine.

And ROTA's targets matter because of the general size of the pool of cards it can search.

So you don't think being able to search any monster in your deck is bad, because overall it's not as broad of a search?

Dark Soul is fine because it only searchers Sabers. E-Emergency call is fine because it only searches E-Heroes....that is just terrible. What makes it worst is these cards get you ANY monster from that archtype without a level restriction...at least Rota has some type of level limit.

Also what you're saying is only specific archtype decks get to have "add x card from your deck to your hard" while generic decks are assed out?

By your own words special summoning from the deck is stupid......then you say "hey guys One for One is fine"...do nothing to hit Karakuri cards such as Bureido and cards that work in a similar fashion.

Like I said...when using you own logic be consistent...or at least give intelligent reasoning for your decisions.

[b]You act as if all of those cards aren't on my list.[/b]

[b]I'm saying that searching out a smaller card pool is better.[/b]

[b]+1 From the Deck without P2P interactions is bad. One for One uses up card advantage. Not like it's not on the list either. And the Karakuri's are still generally balanced. Sure they're a +1, but all that does is balance out a general -1 Synchro Summon. Only one I'd seriously consider banning is the Steel Shogun, the other would still be @2. That being said, did it ever occur to you that maybe there were just cards on the list that I'd forgotten? Because it appears you have not.[/b]

[/quote]No, I only say that it's not AS bad because the pool is smaller, though I've still been trying to decide whether I want all of those types of cards at 1 or 2.

One for One does not generally use up card advantage due to the fact you are dumping a card you WANT in the grave.

Your logic on Rota vs. its archtype specific cousins is still flawed for the reasons I've already explained...if rota is banned all cards that work like rota should be banned even if they are archtype specific since they serve the same purpose...card pool size should not matter.

Putting Darksoul and Fultoll to 2 does not make a difference...a lot of sabers builds only play 2 trolls...and losing 1 Dark Soul does nothing since I have a s*** load of ways of searching it out anyway.

I am utterly baffled by the questionable, obtuse logic behind the banning of Reinforcement of the Army, but semi-limiting Fossil Dig, which performs the same task as Reinforcement but for Dinosaurs, and not even touching [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Flaming_Dance_-_%22Tenki%22"]Flaming Dance - Tenki[/url], which performs the same task as Reinforcement but for Beast-Warriors, and is searchable by other cards of it's potentially insane archetype.

Why? Why?

Seriously, why? That makes no sense.

[b]That's a bad thing? Unlike something like foolish, you actually need the card in your hand that you want to dump.[/b]

[b]Card pool matters. If an archetype's card pool gets too large to match that of a type, then I'll be fine with banning it. This is one of the only cases of potential that I don't agree upon.[/b]

[/quote]Darksoul @2 is consistent with what I've been doing, but you're right about Faultroll, it should be @0 on this list.

[/quote]I forgot fossil dig searches a type. It'll be to ban

And tenki wasn't hit because, as I stated, I'm not touching anything that isn't out in the TCG post-Abyss Rising.

Shifting every spell that +0 Searches @1

Hanzo to banned.
Faultroll to banned.
Fossil Dig to banned.
Steel Shogun to banned.
Burei to Semi

EDIT: Anyone want to remind me what other spell +0 searchers there are besides ECall, Dig, Seal, and that evol one? I can't remember all of them.

So Gear Gigant X Wind-Up Zenmaity Hieratic Dragon King of Atum and Bureido are @0 but Burei only gets Semid? lolinconsistency
[/quote]Fine, I'll ban it.

>large amount of limit/semi-limits that serve no purpose but to murder consistency
>restrict cards based on principle rather than actually being problematic (Vylon Element, Expressroid, Emergency Call)

Are you actually trying to create a salvageable, balanced format out of this? Or just showing which cards rustle your jimmies at the moment? Because if it's the former, you failed miserably (although more in the sense of hitting too much rather than hitting the wrong things)

Poor design=/=Problematic

And I -really- disagree with cards being banned just on the basis of poor design, especially if they don't create any problems on their own

I'm surprised (and personally annoyed) Starlight Road isn't on there. Based on [i]my [/i]principles, [i]anything that gets something out of the Extra Deck without any sort of cost is bad design. [/i]Cyber-Stein and Magical Scientist were banned for that reason, right? Yet Starlight Road is unlimited. As much as I hate to admit it, even Xyzs require a cost. Starlight is a Trap that gives you a fairly powerful (if outdated) Synchro for no real cost, and even grants a boon by negating/destroying a mass-destruction effect. The main weakness that I see is that Stardust can't re-summon itself via its effect without being Synchro Summoned first, but you can combine it with other lockdowns or use it for Assault Modes (specifics escape me at the moment).

I've got plenty of cards that I'm not fond of, some of which are on your banlist. But it's better to ban/limit based on use/abuse in the meta (which can be objectively researched by checking tourney results or observing duels) than due to "bad design" (which is subjective and can be based on personal biases) What do you think about that?
