Forum:March 2013 Banlist Predictions

My predictions
It's been a bit more than two months since the September 2012 list became official, but now that we've had some new archetypes and new cards, I wanted to make this page for anyone's predictions in the upcoming banlist for next March. This is what I think will happen as of now: Banned Limited Semi-Limited Unlimited
 * Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning - He's just too powerful; can get rid of any monster and can win duels by himself.
 * Monster Reborn - No matter how you justify it, being able to bring back one monster from either player's graveyard at no cost is just too unfair.
 * Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier - This card is more powerful now that Atlanteans are running rampant. Then again, unlike Brio, he has a once per turn restriction. But if Koonami doesn't hit this they probrably will hit marksman or infantry (see below)
 * Queen Madolche Tiramisu - This might not be a gurantee, but if you insist hitting Madolches...
 * Rescue Rabbit - He isn't as broken as Rescue Cat was, but being able to instantly summon any rank 2-4 xyz monster is too good IMO. Dino Rabbits can still run 3 gold sarcs and TGU Leviair anyways.
 * Tragoedia - He's pretty multifunctional, being able to summon himself whenever you take battle damage, he can steal an opponent's monster, and xyz/synchro just about anything you want. He'll be better at one, like his close cousin Gorz, than at 2.
 * Atlantean Marksman/Heavy Infantry - Atlanteans are starting to get on my nerves. They'll probrably hit Gungnir if they don't hit any of these two (see above).
 * Torrential Tribute/Bottomless Trap Hole - These cards are more powerful now that Ignition Priority is revoked. If Koonami doesn't hit one of these they should hit the other.
 * Miracle Fusion - If this isn't limited it should at least be semi'd. Summoning Absolute Zero or Shining from your extra by baishing monsters from your grave is hardly ever fair, not to mention it's free fodder for Shining's second effect, if it's destroyed and sent to your grave.
 * Advanced Ritual Art - This card isn't as broken as it once used to be, but setting up your grave with whatever you want in your deck is quite good. It isn't as crazy as it's cousins (like Future Fusion) though.
 * Primal Seed - Since I suggested banning BLS, this card can come back to 3.
 * Spore - No one runs more than one, since it only works once a duel. Limiting it was pointless.

Anyone has the right to criticize my predictions, but these are just my personal opinions. If they come out with more broken cards in the coming weeks/months i'll update this list. 98.206.70.2 (talk) 19:31, November 11, 2012 (UTC)
