Forum:Thoughts on July 2015 List?

So, I'm pretty sure that the next F&L List for July will drop in a few days (week?), so I wanted to know what people here on the wiki thought about what Konami should hit on the list or what they should drop?

Banned:
 * Maybe Djinn Releaser of Rituals
 * Vanity's Emptiness - I feel like this is Royal Oppression all over again

Limited:
 * Qliphort Scout
 * Lose 1 Turn - Feels like Skill Drain
 * Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End - Heard this card and DMoC got an errata in the OCG, so its possible they both come back down to 1.
 * Dark Magician of Chaos
 * Nekroz of Brionac
 * Nekroz of Unicore
 * Thousand-Eyes Restrict - Really think this could come back without any real issues now.

Semi-Limited:
 * Gold Sarcophagus - Maybe, unless Necroface is too much of a concern.

Unlimited:
 * Ojama Trio
 * Glow-Up Bulb - It has a once-per-duel restriction on it, and no one is using more than 1.
 * Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En - It's possible, while I don't like 3 Shi-En, I don't think Sams can really make 3 of these.
 * Tragoedia - Gorz is at 3, I think Trag can come down too. It's other Level effect is good, but it's not suddenly going to start seeing use at 3.
 * Advanced Ritual Art - While there is an OTK with Demise and Doom Dozer, this thing won't do much at 3.
 * Sinister Serpent - I think this could work out just fine.

Any other thoughts? Also, I know BA isn't on the list at all, I don't play that enough to know what should be hit. -- Dark Ace SP  ( Talk Page ) 15:49, June 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * The list will probably be posted around the 6th of July, when the last WCQ of America (South America) is done. Now, here's my thoughts on the July list:

Banned:
 * None. Djinn isn't what makes Nekroz good, Nekroz is good because it can plus and combo so much. Hit it directly.

Limited:
 * Nekroz of Unicore - A key card to the Nekroz engine, allows you to reuse any Nekroz card from your grave and negate all monster effects summoned from the extra.
 * Nekroz Kaleidoscope - A lot of people are saying to hit Brionac, but as the OCG showed, Nekroz are still capable of topping consistently even with Brionac, Cycle, and Unicore all at 1. If you want to stop the deck's free advantage, Kaleidoscope to 1 is the step in the right direction, so they can't use their extra deck as ritual material and have to actually pay a tribute cost to use their cards, or use up resources in their graveyard with Mirror. Brionac could also go to 1 like the OCG did, though.
 * Graff and/or Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss - Burning Abyss is still a very consistent and powerful deck even with Tour Guide limited; it's obviously got a terrible Nekroz matchup, but once Nekroz goes down, this will definitely be a top contender if it goes unchecked. Dante to 1 is like Qliphort Scout to 1; it kills the deck and isn't the right card to hit.
 * Something banned like Thousand-Eyes Restrict or Tribe-Infecting Virus - We're not getting the OCG's errata'd versions of Chaos Emperor Dragon and DMoC until later this year, so if anything should get unbanned this format, it should be one of these two. If Raigeki and Dark Hole can exist in the game, there's no reason Tribe can't come back, and Instant Fusion with TER is a subpar form of monster removal that's outclassed by what most rank 4 xyz's can do today (Castel, 101, ect).

Semi-Limited:
 * Satellarknight Altair - If tellarknights become a top contender post-Nekroz, like Burning Abyss probably will be, this might go to 2 to give them a slight check, but it also might go untouched.

Unlimited:
 * Irrelevant cards that don't do much anymore (Charge of the Light Brigade, Shi-En, Tragoedia, Advanced Ritual Art, Gold Sarc, Debris Dragon, Sacred Sword of 7 Stars, ect).

That's what I have to say. Ninety-eight (talk • contribs) 21:23, June 27, 2015 (UTC)
