Forum:Thoughts on the next TCG banlist?

The next TCG banlist may come in October like last year, or they might pull it up in September just before YCS season starts again in two weeks (like the April list, there's no specific end date to this list). Whether it's coming soon or not until another month, does anyone have thoughts on what the next list should be like as of now? Mine are here:

Banned:


 * Nothing honestly needs a ban this upcoming format.

Limited:


 * Nekroz of Unicore and/or Nekroz of Valkyrus - Even with all of the limitations on the deck in the worlds banlist, it still got 2nd place and made many other appearances, both at worlds and beforehand in YCS's and the WCQ's. So, it's going down now.
 * BA Graff or Dante - The deck is still fast and fairly consistent even with 1 Tour Guide, if they want to prevent another format with these guys they need a direct hit.
 * Stellarknight Triverr and/or Satellarknight Altair - While Satellarknights aren't the most powerful deck out there, if the fate of Infernities last year is anything to judge by, a big hit to these guys is inevitable since they won worlds this year, so one or both of these two will probably get hit. Triverr to 1 prevents them from looping it with another copy of itself, while Altair to 1 makes it harder to make and they have to be more protective and cautious of when to use that one copy.
 * Shaddolls? They haven't been nearly as prominent lately; maybe El Shaddoll Fusion to 1, not much else.
 * Lavalval Chain - This was a really bad ban this format, it's not the problem with whatever loops are using it and banning it didn't really solve any problems, just delayed them. If not this, I'm always going to advocate TER or TIV being unbanned, but even that may not happen.

Semi-Limited:


 * Debris Dragon - Most people don't use it anymore, and it's even less useful with the Dragon Rulers now banned.
 * Gold Sarcophagus - Yeah, there could be an issue with Necroface, but if that happens, hit that, not Sarc.

Unlimited:


 * Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En - Six Sams don't really do much anymore. This to 3 probably won't change that.
 * Advanced Ritual Art - No one really uses this anymore.
 * Charge of the Light Brigade - Lightsworns don't do much anymore. If they somehow do...you can always hit JD again.
 * Card Trooper - Not used as much as it once was. Troop Dupe Scoop is overrated, and it's not good or consistent with the current meta.
 * Chaos Sorcerer - Not as good as it once was, it's fine at 3.

Well, that's what I have to say. The next list will probably be a bit longer than the July list we had. Comments? Ninety-eight (talk • contribs) 15:18, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
