Finally my ban list prediction

As you can see for my post frequency, my life has been harder and I really have nothing worth to be post it. In fact, I barely have time to play yugi a few hours each week. Anyway, back to the issue of this post. I'm going to post my banlist prediction:

Forbidden:

Card Destruction
Sangan
Monster Reborn
Wind-up Zenmaines
Trishula
Wind-up hunter

Limited:

Agent Venus
Rescue rabbit
Dragged down to the grave
Inzektor dragonfly
Laval volcano Handmaiden
Karakuri Ninishi
Dark magician of chaos

Semi-limited:

Book of moon
Emergency Teleport

No Limited:

Call of hunted
Tragoedia

Now I'm going to explain how this list will change the game:

Tengu-Syncro-plant: Without Sangan, Tour guide become less versatile. Also, is almost impossible to search for LooneFire Blossom and without Trishula there is no generic syncro monster that worth all the effort you need to play this deck. Book of moon will make things harder for this deck, as for the rest of syncro decks in the game (Laval, Karakuris, etc)

Dark World: I think the problem here is not the monsters themselves, instead the banlist should hit the easy discard system like Card destruction and Dragged down into the grave. That will let the deck only with the field spell card (that you can't always easily active) and dark world dealing and dark world lightning (both with hard drawbacks). Reborn was usually a +1 on this deck.

Agents: Hyperion is too good, so the agent monster shoudn't be so damn good. Venus has been a problem since the appeareance of xyz monsters on this game and that have go. Also, summon T.G. Striker or Earth usually means a possible easy trishula and Kristia in the same turn. This is another reason to ban Trishula.

Inzektors: Dragonfly is probably the most difficult inzektor monster on the game because you can't use bottomless on him, and his huge defense makes book of moon a little useless. The lack of zenmaines will make this strategy and tour guide itself weaker. However inzektor won't die, it will evolve into a rank 4+ strategy.

Wind-up: Without hunter and zenmaines, the deck is not so strong as before. It is however an excellent deck that we will fear still the next format.

Karakuri: In general, the problem of this deck is the huge combo that refuels his own hand all the time. However the only meta competitive version of the deck is based around a huge backrow field and Naturia beast. The only way to stop both things is hitting KK ninishi.

Laval: Probably the best option is limiting rekindling, but I think konami will hit an OCG card, so it won't appear on the TCG ban list and TCG player will have time to use deck at his full potential. Handmaiden is part of the easy engine that helps the deck to full his grave, that's why the card should be banned. Also, the usual laval strategy is focus on quasar, not in trishula. So the main purpose of the strategy will be intact.

Rescue Rabbit deck: Laggia and Gemknight have been abusing of this card a lot, I probably don't need to say anything else about it.

That's all for today, feel free to comment if you think I left something behind.

  1. La idea de una banlist es hacer a los decks tops menos competitivos, no matarlos definitivamente.
    Por ej.:
    Hunter: hace menos de 1 año que los wind-up existen y sin él, el mazo no tendría sentido. Además se debe considerar que se suele usar uno solo en deck, como mucho 2.
    Zenmaines: no es tan broken como para prohibirlo, teniendo en cuenta que, al igual que el hunter, solo se usan uno o 2. yo diría quelimitarlo estaría bien.
    Trishula: si bien da ventaja, en estos tiempos se suelen usar más cartas para negar eff, como veiler y fiendish.
    Card destruction: si la idea de prohibirla es para hacerle daño a los darkworld, creo que no sirviría de mucho, porque a ese mazo lo mata el side, generalmente. (macro y dimensional fisure)
    Rabbit a 1: supongo que con 2 estaría bien.
    Dragonfly a 1: Si bien es una carta muy broken, limitarlo mata al mazo. ya no habría casi nada que buscar con centipede. Creo que la solución a esto es semilimitar o limitar al hornet.
    Laval volcano: el mazo perdería casi toda su pontencia. lo pongría a 2.
    Ninishi: lo mismo que volcano.
    tragoedia: creo que con 2 está bien.

    En fin, eso es lo que me parece a mi xD
    Sigue haciendo videos de tus mazos en DN!

    PD: prohiban al luster denuevo -.-

  2. Admito que mi banlist es demasiado agresiva, pero son formas de verlo, yo creo que todo eso esta bastante mal. Supongo que konami encontrara la forma de dejar lo mayor posible y que el resto se haga injugable. XD
