Forum:2014 Ban List Predictions! (January)

So, here are a few predictions I feel that Konami will go with in this upcoming January:

Sixth Sense: Nothing more to say than it's effect. It's win-win for E Dragons, Dark Worlds, SOMETIMES Lightsworns, and I've even seen Battlin' Boxers use them. Too many up sides and it's effect is insane by itself (BANNED)

Mind Control: This card is a one turn Brain Control/Change of Heart. Because of Synchros/XYZ, it's so easy to get around that "return it to the control of the respective original player" effect. (BANNED)

Infestation Pandemic/Evilswarm Ophion: Now, I can't say limit/ban both since that would kill a large amount of an archetype for a reason smaller than what it should be. I would say either limit Pandemic or limit Ophion. Between both, I'd say limit Pandemic over Ophion since Pandemic is just... it's too good that it's insane.

Constellar Omega: Cool, another Infestation Pandemic BUT for Constellars. It pretty much IS Iinfestation Pandemic, but at least it's a tiny bit more prone to being negated (only because it's a monster and people run Bottomless, Solemn, Black Horn, etc). But, it's just too good. Limit it

Battlin' Boxer Yoke: Now, this guy right here is the child of Zenmaine and Comics Hero King Arthur. You just can't stop him unless you bounce him or banish him. Sure, you can spend precious dark holes and lightning vortexes on him, BUT HE'S JUST GONNA POWER UP JUST BY BEING A SURVIVOR. It would be okay if it were only 0-500 gained... but 800? That's enough to suicide Blue Eyes, JD, Red Dragon Archfiend, Red JEWELED Dragon, BLS, etc etc, and survive. Limit it

E Dragons: The one you've been waiting for. Like I said, I don't want to list cards on here that can kill an archetype. Just limit these guys or at least semi-limit Big Eye and Draco (which I doubt Konami would do so E Dragons are the only choice). They're too easy to bring out, too strong, too many effects, and they support insane cards like Big Eye, Number 74, etc. Limit them all

Return from a Different Dimension: So, this goes back to E Dragons. If they won't limit E Dragons, Konami needs to ban this card. Why? If you ever played E Dragons, you'll understand why.

Dragged Down To The Grave: So, they leave this to 3 but they have Forceful Sentry banned. Okay, they're similar in some ways (both played reveal their hand). But, the user of this card would probably have set most of their hand by the time they use it, leaving them with the advantage of knowing what you have in your hand. At least limit this since so many players are still using Dark World. If it gets banned, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets limited.

Call of the Mummy: I'd say keep an eye on this card. Vampires are slowly growing and if they hit a certain level that's as insane as Dark Worlds or E Dragons, I say ban this. It's just too good considering you can SS high powered Zombies just for being defenseless/exposed. Too good. I'd say either semi-limit or limit this, depending on how much people use Zombies when the ban list comes by.
