July 2014 Banlist

Limited:

Goyo Guardian OH s***

Geargiagear Expected

 

Semi-Limited:

Magician of Faith Can safely go to 3 now the big 3 are irrelevant because they're either gone and Dark Hole hasn't really been that great

Formula Synchron  Obviously to push the 5Ds legendary collection

Reinforcement of the Army This scares me to be honest

 

Unlimited:

Dimensional Prison That's actually pretty cool that they give us more counters to the Hands

Mirror Force Not surprising

 

Very underwhelming list too be honest. My friend is going to make money of this list so much because he has been hoarding Goyo Guardians for ages now.

My free goyo campaign paid off!
 
Also, so much for this "big list" Jeff said.


It was meant to be interpreted as sarcasm.

Good list though, it was a fairly balanced format and there's no point in really hitting anything outside of Gears due to the format drastically shifting soon.

This list is smaller than expected.

 

Goyo's coming back? Well... Not too sure about that tbh

Geargiagear going to 1 doesn't surprise me.

 

MoF going to 2, again doesn't surprise me, it didn't really do much @1

Formula to 2, obvious LC push is obvious

RotA to 2 is an iffy choice imo

 

Mirror Force to 3 doesn't surprise me whatsoever, and D Prison to 3, well I'm fine with that, more outs to Hands n' junk.

Goyo coming back, and RotA/Formula coming back at 2....sounds like TCG really thinks Yusei.dek needs more love. And I guess it isn't so bad. Level 6 Synchros now have back one of their generic kings, and frankly in a format where battling isn't very prevalent before spam setups, I guess Goyo is alright to release for the time being.

 

And Geargiagear to 1, totally not surprising. In all this was an okay banlist. Isn't too shocking or that capricious in change but there can be some feel of satisfaction for Synchro and a wide range of Warrior Decks. especially Noble Knights, cause frankly double RotA makes me think they'll never make a special RotA for them even in the new structure pack..

Least amount of changes we've had for ages. The only thing that's moved down is Geargiagear, interestingly. Glad I hung on to 3 Goyo, one of which is Ulti iirc. Mirror and Prison to 3 is interesting. Only questionable things is lack of Soul Charge/Hands and RotA to 2. Not quite enough, but can't complain, since the format wasn't that bad outside Geargia anyway.

Methinks top decks now will be HAT, Lightsworn, Geargia, Madolche, Infernity and Rulers now, also Bujins kind of. So basically no different from before except Geargia will move down a bit and Lightsworns will move because of new support. Geargia are still really strong. Lightsworns benefit from Goyo's return a lot.

The deck that benefits most from Goyo's return though is probably Blackwings, though they are still too inconsistent to make it up to the higher tiers.

Also Lightsworns can easily make it with lumina-minerva combo

Oh boy, here we go again...

 

Goyo Guardian: It's true that we haven't good a good 6 Synch in a good while, but there's no reason to bring this back..., well, at least it isn't Brionac.

Geargiagear: Good hit, very needed

 

Magician of Faith: Wasn't doing anything at 1, a few Johny decks I have will rejoice

Formula Synchron: It never deserved to be on the list anyways, good

Reinforcement of the Army: Interesting, I'd say it's not that awful of a move but then I remember that Stellarknights are coming this way...

 

Dimensional Prison: It's good that they're bringing good backrow up but...

Mirror Force: ...I'd rather have them bump stuff like Compulse or BTH

 

I was expecting a short list, but not this short. While the moves weren't exactly awful (Goyo and RotA are debatable), they only hit Geargiagear of the things they actually needed to hit. Some of the other changes were random and not really meta-relevant. A dissapointing list, pretty much everything will be the same until DUEA arrives.

Hmm...

 

I don't really have an issue with anything on the list.

 

Goyo to 1 is interesting, and a better idea than Brio to 1, at least. Goyo is still stupid, but the reason Goyo was a huge issue in the past was because Synchros was the "way to play". Goyo's high ATK and stealing effect would enable it to steal opposing Synchros or Materials for more Synchro Summons. Stealing an Xyz isn't as useful because it won't have its effects. Now, people have to actually be RUNNING Synchros to make Goyo a threat.

 

Geargiagear deserved the limit.

 

Magician of Faith to 2 is fine. It didn't do much at 1 because it's slow.

Formula Synchron to 2 is a little more iffy, but I don't mind.

Reinforcement of the Army to 2 is a stupid idea. We don't need such a generic search card at a higher number.

 

D-Prison and Mirror Force to 3 is...a bit weird, but whatever.

Shaddolls and Yang Zing benefit from it a lot more.

 

Just saying.

Thought they were releasing it tomorrow?  Oh well.  It's probably Friday somewhere.

 

Anyway...

 

Limited:

Goyo Guardian Umm...Kinda iffy on this.  More stupid and easier to make than #11.

Geargiagear  Good.  Card was ridiculous.  

 

Semi-Limited:

Magician of Faith Okay.  Wasn't doing anything at 1.

Formula Synchron  Not sure on this, as I'm not sure what decks run this.

Reinforcement of the Army Promoting Heros, most likely.  Although Sams have ANOTHER searcher.

 

Unlimited:

Dimensional Prison This is cool.

Mirror Force People weren't really running this anyway.

 

Smaller list than I thought.  Kinda expected more things hit but rather okay with it.

 

Still, which they had touched a few more things to avoid a HAT format.  I'd give this list  a 6/10.

As I imagined, they're reducing the average number of changes for list. I actually prefer this way since now we're getting 4 instead of only 2 lists per year; this way, duelists will have more time to adapt to the changes in the metagame "programmed" by Konami, and won't have to alter/scrap entirely their Decks every trimester, biding more time for the players to enjoy playing them.

Infernities are still a thing right? They like this list, right?

Another ROTA to HEROs/Satellaknights

This list is like half and half.

Good: Formula, Magician of Faith, and Geargiagear
Middling: Personally, I like having the generic S/T be limited or semi'd, so not all that ecstatic about D Prison.
Bad: Goyo, ROTA, Mirror Force
