Forum:January 2015 Banlist Predictions

98's Predictions
Yeah, yeah, that time of year again...Well, here's my take on what they should do a month from now:

Banned:


 * Nothing is really worthy of being banned right now. I can only hope that the Dragon Rulers will get banned and Raigeki will get re-banned but with the way Konami has pushed this game recently, by having all these indestructible monsters and even more broken cards than Rulers, that will probably never happen.

Limited:


 * Shaddoll Fusion or El Shaddoll Winda - One of these two needs a hit come January, I expect it to be Shaddoll Fusion so they have to use El Shaddoll Fusion instead and not be able to fusion summon from the deck, but a limit to Winda won't be bad either.
 * Tour Guide from the Underworld - The Burning Abyss cards themselves are still rather new and got further promoted in NECH, this is a key card in BA, since it can tutor any one of them from your deck, make Dante after that, and plus off of searching/summoning in the EP. Probably the most realistic hit.
 * Tribe-Infecting Virus - Ok, call me salty here, but Raigeki, let alone Dark Hole: one, destroy all monsters, face-up or face-down, two, have no cost, 3, don't use up your normal summon, and four, are both at 1. TIV: one, uses up your normal summon, two, requires a discard, three, can only destroy face-up monsters of one type, and four, is...still banned? Dafaq. Bring it back. Now.

Semi-Limited:


 * Gladiator Beast Bestiari - If Konami gave Blackwings double Gale, there's no reason they can't give Glads double Bestiari.
 * Neo-Spacian Grand Mole - No one really uses him anymore. He's a 1 for 1 removal card that uses your normal summon and needs an attack to work. Could even go to 3 at this point.
 * Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit - They put Wolfbark straight to 3 and 4-axis didn't do as much as it was initially hyped, 3-axis probably won't do too much harm at this point either.

Unlimited:


 * Glow-Up Bulb - It's either here or back to 0, but to tell the truth, as long as Brio and Trish, ect stay banned, this is just a neat tech in synchro decks and nothing more. That, and there are plenty of better cards that can do similar things, if not better things, than this card can do in the current game. Nothing game-breaking.
 * Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind - Blackwings, let alone this, did nothing at 2, and probably won't do much at 3 either.
 * Chaos Sorcerer - No one really uses him anymore.

Wild Cards:
 * Stellarnova Alpha - It could be hit to keep Satellarknights in check, but they haven't topped that much post-NECH and it wouldn't surprise me if they went untouched.
 * TER/DMOC/WU Zenmaity - One can hope...they probably will come off someday, though they really should unban TIV next.
 * Qliphorts - This stupid ass swarm deck won't go unpunished forever, but since it's still new, it won't be hit for the time being.

That's all I have to say for now. Ninety-eight (talk • contribs) 16:59, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
