2 Goyo: Why
3 Reasoning for obvious Infernoids is obvious
SNATCH STEAL FOR WHAT REASON
Morall is kinda meh, it kills all the artyfact variants though
2 Honest oh god

Time to build Tengu Scraps

Super Polymerization Understandable, but it would be better if Shaddols weren't so f***ing broken to begin with

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach Finally
Dark Strike Fighter Expected with the nerf
Snatch Steal Let's keep Brain Control on the list, but lets unban a searchable permanent Brain Control instead. WTF

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest ???
Goyo Guardian Might be interesting when the new Synchro stuff coming out
Dark Hole We have Raigeki at 1 already, so meh

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind Won't do anything
Mermail Abyssgunde I forgot this was on the list actually
Reborn Tengu They really want us to play Quasar
Reasoning Why was this card still on the list when everything else is also on the list?
The Transmigration Prophecy Why was this card still on the list on the first place?

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach HAT player won't like this much, but I'm fine with this.

Goyo Guardian Why....?

Oh wow.  Kinda early for the Ban List, but I'm fine with it.

 

Forbidden:

Super Polymerization  Have no feelings on this, but likely a good move.

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach So long HAT decks.
Dark Strike Fighter Finally.  With the new errata, this isn't as borked.
Snatch Steal What? Eh, coulda been worse.  Coulda been Harpies Feather Duster or something.  

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest No. Just no.  
Goyo Guardian Wasn't that big of a deal so fine.
Dark Hole I can see Yang Zings using 2 of this.  Don't like it too much, though.

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind Ummm.  Was fine at 2.
Mermail Abyssgunde Oh hai, Mermails.
Reborn Tengu Eh, fine.
Reasoning Okay.
The Transmigration Prophecy Alright, I suppose.

 

 

 

Not entirely sure about my feelings on this list.  No Burning Abyss hit.  No Qliphort hit.  A couple of borked cards going up to 2-3.  Kind of a weird list, all in all.

Forbidden:

Super Polymerization - I would have expected this years ago, but not now. Are Shadolls really wrecking Heroes' fun that badly?

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach - RIP in pieces, HAT. I won't miss you.
Dark Strike Fighter - This is once per turn now, right? Solid
Snatch Steal - WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest - So, do I kill myself now, or later?
Goyo Guardian - Who needs more than one?
Dark Hole - We already had this with Raigeki, 3 Dark Holes is probably not needed in any deck.

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind - Blackwing meta when?
Mermail Abyssgunde - I don't even remember what this card does...
Reborn Tengu - 3 Tengu 3 Malicious Bulb is back and Plague is at 3? Engage Synchro Shenanigans!!
Reasoning - Infernoids will enjoy this, if they ever get here, Anyone still using DDT will have fun.
The Transmigration Prophecy - Shenangians trap.

Forbidden:

Super Polymerization

 

I'd like to note that this is a perfect example of the beloved by TCG section "design vs impact" discussion, and an ultimate proof of how it should work. Super Poly was always pretty degenerate, but only deck that could favorably use it was HEROes, which weren't really that good, so it was fine, it gave a boost to a weak deck. Now that Shaddolls exist, and HEROes will get stronger, it was giving an unfair advantage to already strong decks, so it got banned. Perfectly sound logic, and shows how it should work.

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach
Dark Strike Fighter
Snatch Steal

 

Huh, didn't expect a Moralltach hit. Artifacts weren't really popular on the TCG side, but I guess it's to slightly nerf the Artifact Shaddoll variants? DSF makes sense with the nerf, but...Snatch Steal, why? Another pointless experiment on TCG side. Oh well, time to run Hidden Armory in Noble Knights.

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest
Goyo Guardian
Dark Hole

 

Jesus fucking christ Honest is @2. I like how Goyo went from banned for ages to 2 in two banlists. Dark Hole...people keep going "not needed we have Raigeki", but you know, now we can have 3 drawbackless board wipes in our decks. Pretty good insurance policy. Also, a tiny boost to Yang Zing I guess?

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind
Mermail Abyssgunde
Reborn Tengu
Reasoning
The Transmigration Prophecy

 

Mostly irrelevant...Tengu aside. Fucking hell Plant Synchro times once a-motherfucking-gain. Oh and Reasoning for Infernoids, great.

Forbidden:

Super Polymerization Good

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach Is there a good reason for this? I thought artifacts were pretty much dead anyway, and this is what made the engine work. RIP, the days of sanctum->moralltach to take out tool
Dark Strike Fighter K
Snatch Steal Umm... Ok..?

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest Fluffals? 
Goyo Guardian Sure, why not.
Dark Hole Is this one of those cards that suddenly becomes good once we have more than one of it? Only time will tell.

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind Yes.
Mermail Abyssgunde Hm... Kinda sketched out by this.
Reborn Tengu YES. YES YES YES YES YES.
Reasoning Infernoidslol. Spell Counters gets a bit better.
The Transmigration Prophecy Sweet.

Super Polymerization Why Konami... Just why? It's fine at 1.

 

Limited:

Artifact Moralltach Required move. Sanctum + This had became an engine by now.
Dark Strike Fighter Uh, we have the new effect, don't we? If yes, I'm totally OK with bringing him back.
Snatch Steal I'm happy with this being back but I know a certain someone won't be...

 

Semi-Limited:

Honest Oooooh, this'll sound interesting. Nice boost to my Herald Agents.
Goyo Guardian Oh MAN! Thank goodness Goyo ain't as powerful as he was in 2011.
Dark Hole Most people are replacing this for Raigeki in their Decks since SANDAA BORUTO got unbanned, so I don't see why not bump this buddy up a spot.

 

No Longer Limited:

Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind WOOHOOOOO!!! *Launches fireworks*
Mermail Abyssgunde Mermails are no longer a danger.
Reborn Tengu This card no longer exists to the meta.
Reasoning See above.
The Transmigration Prophecy See above.

All righty, let's see what we've got on this list...

 

 

Super Polymerization - banned (Okay, it's a little sad, because I love the card, but I kind of feel like it deserves it because of Omni-HEROs, Shaddolls, etc being able to abuse it so badly)

 

Artifact Moralltachlimited (I think I've been under the impression this was already limited. Probably OCG side. Eh, don't care).

 

Dark Strike Fighter - limited (Again, thought it already was post-errata. But then again, we got the errata version between lists).

 

Snatch Steal - limited (NO! WHY?!)

 

Honest - semi-limited (I have no idea why they did this. I don't care all that much, to be honest - no pun intended)

 

Goyo Guardian - semi-limited (*shrug* Okay. Don't think it needed to be bumped to 2, but whatever)

 

Dark Hole - semi-limited (What.)

 

Gale the Whirlwind - unlimited (YAY!)

 

Mermail - Abyssgunde - unlimited (Don't care)

 

Reborn Tengu - unlimited (Ehhh...kind of wish I had picked up 3 now, but I don't think it matters that much)

 

Reasoning - unlimited (Don't care)

 

Transmigration Prophecy - unlimited (Don't care)

 

I don't think this list is anything too special. Unbanning Snatch Steal is iffy, though.

Still waiting for the comment from I hate Snatch Steal. Will he live up to his name? Time will tell.

 

I don't really like the banlist, they might aswell have done absolutely nothing. The format's gonna be the same, BA and Qlis being all over the place (spectating a lot on DN, not rly playing tho), Shadolls got slightly hit for whatever reason being, no Fire Lake or Qliphort Scout hit made me really disappointed. 2 Dork Hole is completely fine by me, not like anyone will be playing 2, I might test it as I don't own any Raigekis. I was wondering when DSF would come back with the errata, no surprise there. Pulled one in LC5Ds yay. (Just like a Goyo <3) 

Snatch Steal, yeah whatever, I was expecting Sinister Serpent but it's k. Moral Limit comes like 20 Formats late, I don't understand at all why they would hit that now. Yay for Gunde and Tengu, will play Mermail a lot again. And finally Transmigration Prophecy is at 3 again, guess It'll be a side deck staple.
