Apparently, the list is not complete, as the translators are still reading the photo. It's not like Yuginewz hasn't been wrong before, but the list looks decent, and has pretty convincing photo evidence. Discuss the implications and your opinion of this list. 03:38, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Er... wow, I can already tell that this new list is gonna smack a lot of people in the face, big time... *Blinks* Raining Stars (talk • contribs) 05:03, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Dark Hole. Oh my God. DARRKKK HOLLEEE??? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I am NOT happy. If Dark Hole is un-banned...I'll go buy one..or something. This list makes me angry in a way. --Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 05:43, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'll say it again; a smack to the face for everyone... Watch people abuse Dark Hole now; I can already see it. Raining Stars (talk • contribs) 05:45, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well this list seems pretty good but with a few strange things, Avarice and Icarus? I don't know about you but I have never seen these cards really "abused" maybe icarus in blackwings (which explains black whirlwind) and dark hole + magician of faith = I see brokenness on an epic scale, because all of the sudden Dark hole, Heavy storm, and Infernity Launcher are even worse-ier--Berfomet (talk • contribs) 06:30, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, actually, the lists seem to derive more for what's been doing awesome in the OCG that the TCG-players aren't seeing at the moment. Perhaps we're just going for the most deadliest combos that are in front of us whereas the OCG-players probably know something we don't. Sounds like a conspiracy theory though, ha-ha! So, I guess it's more OCG-oriented in terms of what's been extremely effective to them rather than us in general. Raining Stars (talk • contribs) 06:44, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

This list looks deceptive, but kinda convincing. First: Are they really hurting GB decks that much by banning both Rescue Cat and Cold Wave (I don't care about War Chariot becasue I use 2 myself). Seriously, if we look at the top 16 deck list at the from Gen-Con Indy (link here: http://www.konami.com/yugioh/blog/?p=3564#more-3564) there is only one GB deck on that whole list. Sadly I see that GB decks will "die" by the end of this year, if not sooner. I say this not becasue of the Rescue Cat/ Cold Wave ban, but just becasue GB's are getting kinda old. It's also ironic that both GB's and X-Sabers with this deck list both have Rescue Cat and Cold Wave in most decks.

I personally see Dark Hole and Magician of Faith as LOL's for Konami. (Kinda like the limited Monster Reborn). Then again, Dark Hole is easily countered by Starlight Road, but I don't know about MoF. What is also up with Skill Drain and Ultimate Offering? First, they're semi-limited, then they aren't? Did format change that fast or are Skill Drain decks getting old too? --184.96.231.210 (talk) 08:07, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

IF this list is real. The things I didn't expect were Caius, Treeborn Frog, Dark Hole, Foolish Burial, Burial from a Different Dimension and Gladiator Beast War Chariot. The things that should be on there are Miracle Fusion, Trishula and Dimensional Prison. I don't mind Chariot semi'd; I was going to replace 1 with Effect Veiler anyway. Also, I don't really see how can the list can 'apparently' be incomplete. Any good duelist can look at the picture on the card and say what it is. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 12:28, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm... I am suspending something... that card has been listed twice... -- F  red  C  at  His litter • FR 14:03, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I seriously doubt substitoad will be banned, maybe limited but banned!?! I also don't expect magician of faith or dark hole to become limited, or icarus semi'd. And why would they limit Caius, he might be the best Monarch and splashable in a lot of decks, but why limit him and not semi.

Seems like they're plannig to hit a lot of decks: Infernities (Launcher and Archfiend), blackwings (Whirlwind and icarus), x-Sabers and Gladiator Beasts (Cold wave and Rescue cat). frog OTK (with Substitoad) and even Monarchs (Caius and treeborn). And what really suprises me, is United we Stand. In our swarming meta, I don't want to run in three UwS.

IThis here makes me really want to know the official banlist. Jens (talk • contribs) 16:33, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Dark Hole WOOOO. Now I can finally use one of the billions I have in my trunk (of course if it's true). I knew if Heavy was staying in the game then Dark Hole would have a chance.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 18:15, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Why are you so happy about the un-banning of Dark Hole? I also have a load of them, but I really hate it when I am hit with one. Jens (talk • contribs) 20:00, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well, like Lightning Vortex, smart people won't unleash every monster they have, and DESERVE to get Dark Hole'd if they do.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 21:03, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Too bad they'll just start swarming again  or won't lose any card advantage  or use this in place of Cold Wave. --Drew-Gi-Oh! (talk) 21:26, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Any deck can maintain hand advantage, it's just the question as to the person using the deck; is THAT PERSON maintaining hand advantage?--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 22:59, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

one whirlwind and one gale? i dont think this is real at all. If it is then i will be sooooo mad-- bwinggale ( talk •  contribs ) 00:11, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, me too. Just started with Blackwings about a month ago. And now they are going to be hit with the banlist. Well at least we can be dark hole free until September.... Jens (talk • contribs) 08:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I managed to read some of the Semi-Limited list, and spotted some names that weren't listed above. The non-pictured cards are as follows: Can't read the Limited list though. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 13:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Snipe Hunter
 * Destiny Draw
 * Machina Gearframe
 * Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow

this list really is fake if they are restricting kalut. why would they do that? if this list is real itll be like killing lightsworns all over again but with blackwings this time-- bwinggale ( talk •  contribs ) 17:59, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well, there ARE resons why these cards are going where they're unconfirmed to be.
 * Rescue Cat: Has about 2-3 decks involving it in the current meta
 * Substitoad: Now you can't mill your whole deck; saw this coming
 * Caius The Shadow Monarch: Too splashable. Removes any threats (preferably anything with over 2400 ATK or more)
 * Treeborn Frog: Easiest way to get out a Monarch. No doubt Frognarchs won't be in Tier 1 anymore
 * Infernity Launcher: Makes too many loops. No doubt Infernities won't be in Tier 1 anymore
 * Destiny Draw: Destiny Hero variants are pretty much out of the meta; saw this coming.
 * Machina Gearframe: Searches Fortress, although the Machina Gadget deck isn't hit much at all besides this, so it'll probably stay in Tier 1
 * Snipe Hunter: I honestly didn't see this coming, but at the same time, I did see this coming. It's the EXACT same feeling as to when D.D. Warrior Lady and Breaker slipped out
 * Dark Grepher: Works well with DAD, Infernities, and certain Destiny Heroes. No need to ban DAD if this happens
 * Ultimate Offering. Double Summon is faster, and without a cost, except you CANNOT Set with Double Summon. But still, usually a dead draw
 * United We Stand: Equip Spells are dieing slowly
 * Skill Drain: Vanilla Decks are definitely NOT in the meta, so it would be a loss for yourself too, which is fair.

-I did not see the others coming, but of course the prize of most slap to the face is Dark Hole, although now things will be more fun.--- Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 18:55, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Here are some changes that are showing on the site:
 * Gladiator Beast War Chariot (Semi)
 * Trisula, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier (Semi)
 * Burial From A Different Dimension (Semi) Yugioh DED ( talk  •  contribs ) 22:35, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

my thoughts
I can see a few tcg exclusives get limited like Darksoul yes I know Japan doesnt have it but think they can keep unlimited over there till it becomes abusive Like how we did with Brionic for a few months we had 3 to use 24.100.112.140 (talk) 23:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)







Check out these pics I found. All of the cards depicted are somewhere on the list. --Squidman 20 (talk • contribs) 00:23, August 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * The only card I know from them is Magician of Faith... rest of other, I have no clue to know what kind they are. The one below MoF is level 2, with some kind of explode on it right side of the border... Can anyone get clear list of those cards that appears on the list? -- F  red  C  at  T.P. • F.R. • J.R. 00:25, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

I saw those scans in yuginewz and they were Photoshoped, remember Photoshop can make dreams come true =D HYBRID XERO (talk • contribs)
