Forum:March 2012 Banlist Predictions

Only a prediction, just comment:

Banned

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Limited

Rescue Rabbit XX-Saber Darksoul Infernity Barrier Magician of Faith

Semi-Limited

Gold Sarcophagus Mystical Space Typhoon

Unlimited Zero


 * Brionic: possibly
 * Infernity barrier : unlikey, if hit it would probably be semi'd
 * Rescue rabbit: semi, or limited if it gets hit,(I think it will get banned in 1 of the future banlists)
 * Gold sarcophogous: no chance of going back to the banlist with pot of duality around, its too slow for searching, the only good combo it has at the moment is banish rabbit then use tour guide into leviar to get it back.
 * Mystical space typhoon should remain at unlimited
 * Darksoul: it's not very powerfull, the most likely x saber to get hit is "XX-Saber Boggart Knight"(I'm sure x sabers are 1 of the only meta decks not have any cards on the banlist yet)

Wow. We're at this time of year again. How time flies. Anyhow:

I can see Brionac being Banned, as there are just so many Synchro Monsters out there that they've become too powerful. However, that would make Fishborg Launcher next to useless, so I doubt it. Infernity Barrier should be Semi-Limited, but the archetype hasn't been topping enough for it to be Limited. I doubt it will be hit. Rescue Rabbit might be but a Semi-Limit is all I can see coming. X-Sabers topped once and haven't topped again, so I doubt Darksoul will be hit. Magician of Faith should be Limited at the very least, but it could be dangerous. Gold Sarcophagus is never used. Most people only use two MST, so there's no reason to Semi-Limit it. Also, Boggart Knight is way worse than Darksoul - the most powerful one is probably Fulhelmknight. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 15:56, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

There is absolutely no reason to hit Darksoul. If X-Sabers really need hitting, Limit Faultroll and semi Boggart Knight. Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 19:47, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Boggart Knight isn't that good. Even in triple Pashuul builds he isn't that good. Gottoms' Emergency Call, Fulhelmknight, Faultroll, Emmersblade, and Darksoul are all far better. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:49, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

I'm almost certain that Rescue Rabbit will be Semi-Limited and nothing more. I've been hearing rumours that Future Fusion could be made Forbidden but quite frankly rumours are all they are so far. Brioniac will stay limited, there are far worse cards out there that will get hit first. BLS could well find himself back on the banned list but if he stays at limited I don't think it's very likely that he'll ever go back on the banned list in future lists. With Agent Angels still topping most OCG and TCG tournaments they'll likely suffer some kind of hit like the Samurai's did though I can't think exactly what. Being as broken as they currently are I know Inzektors should take a hit but being a new archetype they'll probably walk away from the March banlist untouched. --The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 21:19, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

I think Witch of the Black Forest should go to limited. Its searching isn't the fastest kind around anymore, I'm sure people could survive it being limited instead of banned. 99.164.86.13 (talk) 22:32, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Witch can still search for Dark Armed Dragon, so no. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 22:37, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Some people think DAD should be banned though, so if it gets banned then the Witch might come back in my opinion. 99.164.86.13 (talk) 22:55, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

You think Chaos Emperor Dragon will come back and replace Black luster Soldier for future Chaos theme decks? --69.181.60.66 (talk) 23:12, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Konami would have to be nuts to do that. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 23:13, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Will anyone feel odd if Slifer the Sky Dragon get semi-limited, Limited,or forbidden in the next Banlist ? --Sinfull Paradox 23:19, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. It's not even out yet. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 23:20, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you think Magician of Faith will ever come back? A lot of meta decks seem to consider flip-effects "too slow," except for maybe Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, so it might be back some day. 99.164.86.13 (talk) 23:23, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Want Crush Card virus to back .... love that card than let it collect dust in folder. --Sinfull Paradox 23:29, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * I want my Giant Trunade back... sniffle... 99.164.86.13 (talk) 23:37, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Tsukoyomi should come back, most people generally agree it's not broken anymore Neon Rider (talk • contribs) 23:28, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Royal oppression should be limited again, its not banworthy. With reborn tengu, tour guide and rescue rabbit being so frequently used, this card should be limited again to provide a counter against them, I would rather this and solemn warning were limited than this card being bannned, the banning of this card is very pointless. With a meta where most top tier decks can specail summon 3 or 4+ times a turn this card is needed to slow them down.

matthew.lightbody@talktalk.net (talk • contribs) 00:40, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Royal Oppression is an unfair card in so many ways. It's super beneficial to some decks and totally devastating to others.

I think BLS should be Banned too. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 00:41, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I think royal oppression, is still vital for stopping mass swarming ,and to improve the speed and consistency of slower decks. Most of the decks that are at an unfair disadvantage to this card have an unfair adavantage over the slower decks, like inzectors who easily 3 monsters in a single turn and destroy cards.

matthew.lightbody@talktalk.net (talk • contribs) 00:48, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It makes the game slower. Inzektors would just kill Oppression. Oppression is just an unfair card giving lots of advantage to one deck. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 00:53, January 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Could Crush Card Virus get limited someday? It's extremely powerful, but it's probably not as horrible anymore, and I don't see too many meta decks that would extensively try to search out their single copy to use. 99.165.194.184 (talk) 02:16, January 6, 2012 (UTC) My ideal banlist would be Dark Armed Dragon and Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier banned, Tsukuyomi, Witch of the Black Forest, Magician of Faith, Giant Trunade, and Fishborg Blaster limited, Rescue Rabbit semi-limited, and maybe Call of the Haunted unlimited. 99.165.194.184 (talk) 02:25, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

You can usually tell if a card is gone forever if they release a new card with very similar effects to it. In this case Rescue Cat, Crush Card Virus and Fishborg Blaster are never coming back as they all have alternates released now, them being Rescue Rabbit(which itself is certainly going to be hit), Deck Destruction Virus and Fishborg Launcher. Call of the Haunted is perfect being semi-limited, for Giant Trunade it's a case of it or Heavy Storm and I've gotta say I much prefer Heavy Storm over Giant Trunade any day. Also Tsukuyomi is NEVER coming back as there is far to many broken combos that can be done with her.

I am of the mind that Last Turn should come off the ban list for the first week that Number C39: Utopia Ray is released just for the hilarity that could be pulled off with it and then immediately banned again afterwards.

And on a more serious side to add to my last list Judgment Dragon needs to go back to being either semi-limited or just plain limited. Light Sworns were actually cool with him being semi-limited no need for the overkill that comes with him being unlimited. Same goes for Icarus Attack and Ultimate Offering, though with Ultimate Offering it needs to go to limited to stop Gadgets abusing it when Verz Ouroboros comes out.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 08:54, January 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Last Turn will never come back. Everyone would build their deck around it and Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo. 99.165.194.184 (talk) 11:14, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Fishborg Blaster never deserved a ban anyway. It's good, but what broke the deck were multiples of Formula (solved, since Formula has been Limited), multiples of Avarice (solved, since Avarice has been Limited), and T.G. Hyper Librarian. Ban Librarian, and Fishborg can come back completely. Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 17:36, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fishborg does deserve the ban due to the large number of overpowered things you could do. Even without three Avarice, Formula, and Librarian, there are still far too many reasons why it is too good. Any Tuner you can get back infinite times in a turn is too good. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 17:41, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed there, it is too much (especialy in a Fish deck that abuses it to get "Shooting Quasar Dragon" out, and tons of other Synchros). Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 17:45, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I think that they'll almost certainly hit one of the main components of the Plant Engine - Dandylion or Glow-Up Bulb. I really hope that they don't as I love the plays that these cards make possible...alternatively they might hit One for One. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 18:54, January 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * They might go for "Dandylion", since it can be somewhat abused by cards such as "Drill Warrior" to get more Tokens. Then there's "Quickdraw Synchron" taking advantage of them on your very first turn. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 19:11, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Synchron Decks are not topping, Quickdraw Synchron and Drill Warrior aren't issues. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:15, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with that (not to mention Synchron Decks are powerless against just about any Banish Deck). "Glow-Up Bulb" isn't so bad, because the effect can only be used once per Duel (if it were "Once every turn", then it would be banned for sure). Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 19:30, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I know it's unlikely, but personally I hope Cyber Jar becomes limited. It doesn't seem any more overpowered than Morphing Jar 2, which isn't banned, as it sends the cards to the graveyard instead of back into the deck which usually hinders the opponent more, and has less deck destruction than Morphing Jar 2 as you both only draw 5 cards. Its a fun card to use when playing traditional format, and I'd like to see how it would affect advanced --2.100.10.105 (talk) 22:59, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Why everyone hates on Dark Armed Dragon ? It has a semi-hard summoning condition to summon it on the field. Alot ways to remove/destroy/return/ counter it. I hope they remove it from limited to semi-limited. --69.181.60.66 (talk) 23:10, January 6, 2012 (UTC)--69.181.60.66 (talk) 23:12, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I predict Evolzar Laggia being limited. Rescue rabbits are topping easy, and this card is the main reason, other than rescue rabbit it's self.

BLS should go..too much decks today use light and dark

many decks now rely on grave so monster reborn should be banned it tackes opponent's monster with no cost

if that happens my chaos deck is gonna be harmed LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 02:46, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Cyber Jar is insanely good in decks built around it, generating tons of advantage. The effect of Glow-Up Bulb, while only usable once per duel, is extremely good. Dark Armed Dragon is very powerful. Monster Reborn is fine at one, it's a great card that makes this game interesting. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 14:13, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

=Banlist Prediction=

FORBIDDEN


 * Monster Reborn - just a feeling. But I think not.
 * Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier - same comment as Monster Reborn

LIMITED


 * Royal Oppression - 3 MST, 1 Heavy Storm, and some other guys will just kill this card, before it can negate.
 * Goyo Guardian - If Brionac goes, I think Goyo goes back. But it depends.

SEMI-LIMITED


 * Rescue Rabbit - limit it to 2 for now, just like what they did to Rescue Cat. But if this card still affects the meta after limiting it to 2, maybe the next banlist it will be limited to 1.
 * Master Hyperion - to much for a boss card.
 * Inzektor Dragonfly - I mean if this deck would be hit this banlist, but I guess maybe in September.
 * Gladiator Beast Bestiari - Well, GB are not really kicking anymore.

UNLIMITED


 * Magical Stone Excavation - no one uses this card anyways.
 * Solemn Warning - Well, not really.
 * Call of the Haunted - Uhm. Same comment as Solemn Warning.

Jampong (talk • contribs) 05:29, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

As many people have stated earlier a lot of decks use the graveyard now and most of them have ways to summon their monsters from the graveyard without the need of Monster Reborn. Thus I'm of the mind it should stay at one so that decks which don't rely on the graveyard have a bit more of a fighting chance.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 08:31, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Bestiari is too good to Semi-Limit, and they have topped recently so I doubt it will be Semi'd. Agents haven't topped recently, so the same would apply here. Everyone uses Solemn Warning, and three would be too much. Especially if Royal Oppression were Limited, which I really don't think it will be. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 14:37, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

By the way, Fishborg has 3 more targets besides Brionac. :3 And in all WATER deck where it's run, they should be able to easily pull Dewloren just as easily. Brionac COULD be banned because of loops (silly Infernity Trish loop :P), but I don't see it myself. When is Konami gonna learn that they can't safely make a card that can be used an infinite amount of times in 1 turn? Also, I think BLS will stay for at least 1 more format, as it's just more easily handled than in the past. Still tough, don't get me wrong, but not AS tough. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 15:04, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Fishborg Launcher? BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 15:01, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, wasn't signed in. :3 And yes, Launcher. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 15:04, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've tried a Launcher Deck, it really sucks. If they do hit Brionac, Launcher is going to be dead. Dewloren really isn't that good without loops and Gishilnodon sucks, leaving just Gungnir and Trishula. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 15:06, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's just the point. :3 You're not playing it correctly. I'll have to show you my 2 decks I use it in. Actually, Dewloren becomes viable if you add just a few cards to recycle with him. Also, you can't summon Gishilnodon with Launcher, as Gishilnodon requires a Lv 3 non-Tuner, and 1 + 3 = 4, so, yeah. xD Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 00:07, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

=my predictions=

banned


 * monster reborn-with all these grave control decks its becoming broken
 * BLS-many decks modify themself to play it deadly effects
 * brionac-obvious...VERY obvious.lethal bounce effect.no specific monsters required WATER and sea serpant are becoming very supported
 * DAD-easy summon lethal effect high atk very supported attribute and type

limited

rescue rabbit-free rank 2-4 xyz
 * magician of faith-too slow VERY low stats gets only 1 spell back and takes your normal summon
 * witch of black forest-not very broken anymore

semi limited


 * master hyperion-lethal.easy summon good effect high atk
 * judgment dragon-lethal.mass destruction with low cost very high atk
 * level limit-area b-with xyz out its not that broken

thats the list i thought of LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 16:04, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

"Monster Reborn" and "Brionac" need to go for sure ("Brionac's" effect is a little overkill, even though there are many ways to get rid of it). "Rescue Rabbit" should definitly be limited. Shardsilver (talk • contribs) 16:12, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * There's a few flaws with a few of those. DAD is no longer as useful, since there isn't an easy way to search it, and that makes it inconsistent. This is one reason WotBF is Forbidden. There are many powerful cards that can be searched with her, including DAD. Monster Reborn is fine where it is. If you're gonna ban Reborn, you might as well ban Dark Hole. The 2 are about equally broken, since they can turn the game in your favor. Since when are Sea Serpents becoming well supported? Sure, because of Generation Fish, they are getting some support, but it's pretty bad. Brionac starts loops, but it's basically the only Lv 6 Staple Synchro now. Honestly, I think they'd bring Goyo Guardian back before they ban Brio. Magician of Faith is very searchable and can loop with The Shallow Grave. It's just that he can recover devastating spells you don't wanna see twice in one duel, such as Dark Hole and Heavy Storm. Dino Rabbits should be much weaker after you put Rabbit at 2 and limit Laggia, maybe. This makes their plays a lot more difficult to pull off. Hyperion is ok at 3, Agents haven't been topping. They just brought JD off the list last format, and I agree with that choice. Lightsworns are no longer as solid as they've been in the past, and now require too much luck to top. BLS, I still haven't figured him out, but I think it's Konami's call on that one, while Level Limit I agree with. Synchro Maniac10 (talk • contribs) 00:30, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Banned: Monster Reborn Solemn Judgement Maxx "C" Limited: Chaos Sorcerer Premature Burial Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End Thousand-Eyes Restrict Metamorphosis Change of Heart Baby Tiragon Witch of the Black Forest

Semi-limited: Mystical Space Typhoon Pot of Duality Dust Tornado Spirit Reaper

Unlimited:

DAD won't be hit, but you can search it with Eclipse Wyvern. I don't see why they'd Semi-Limit MST, most players don't use more than 2. Nobody uses Dust Tornado outside of Side Decks. Metamorphosis is amazing. Chaos Sorcerer isn't worthy of a Limit. Solemn Judgment is fine at one. Maxx "C" isn't broken. CED is insanely good. Premature Burial combos with Wanghu and other cards. Restrict is far too good. Change of Hart is so broken. Baby Tiragon is bad. Witch is too good. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 00:45, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Everyone should remember that the ban list is always based on what's happened in the OCG and not the TCG and over there Agent Angels are still topping more often then not, if anything though I admit that the T.Gs will most likely suffer some sort of hit. As Agent decks are a lot less powerful without the T.G backup. I'm hoping that when ORC comes out in two weeks time that we see an emergency ban for the Inzektors in some way. As they're topping way to much to not be hit but then again being a new deck it may take until September until they get hit.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 01:38, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yugioh Spring of 2012 banned list predictions
I am currently Predicting that:

Banned:

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

T.G. Hyper Librarian

Limited:

Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End - Broken though powerful. Several cards that are played can still negate it.

Thousand-eyes Restrict - Broke can be negated easily now and just got to tyhoon the monster to give this monster a atk0/def0

Pot of Duality - Over used.

Magician of Faith - needs to come back.

Chaos Sorcerer - Over used/ asked for.

Pot of Greed - Might as well come back.. not that powerful any more

Dark Magician of Chaos - not that powerful any more... takes 2 sacs to bring out.. with Synchros you can easily beat it.

Dust Tornado - More powerful then Mystical Space Typhoon

Metamorphosis - Only one good card to bring out with it... Restrict.

Graceful Charity - umm.. hello... you have to discard 2 cards so basically you aren't adding jack to your hand.

Semi - Limited:

Spirit Reaper

Unlimited:

None

Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 03:44, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

SEMI MONSTER REBORN? Limit Ced and pot of greed? Ban solemn judgmend? One of the main cards that can stop CED is solemn judgment. Konami isn't crazy you know LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 04:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Solemn Judgment and Pot of Greed will stay where they are. Judgment is the only card in Yugioh which can stop everything and the price to use it is high. Banning it would only serve to widen the divide between the meta decks and all other decks. Pot of Greed is never coming back as we now have Shard of Greed, which to be honest won't get touched until people realize just how good it is.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 04:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Just saw that Oz suggested unbanning Graceful Charity with the excuse 'umm.. hello... you have to discard 2 cards so basically you aren't adding jack to your hand. ' and yes while that is true if you're running either a Fabled or Dark World deck it gives you MAJOR pluses thus why it was banned in the first place. Honestly people before asking for a card to be unbanned at least think why it was banned in the first place!--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 06:15, January 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Back when it was banned Fableds and Dark Worlds weren't out. It was banned because it's a broken version of Pot of Duality, it's a 1 for 1 but you chose which out of your entire hand to discard. So it sets up your hand and grave with no downside at all.101.162.51.126 (talk) 06:38, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

My comments on everything seen here so far, and more:

Brionac probably won't get banned, for the reason BF2 said: Konami wants money and banning it would make Fishborg Launcher basically useless. Furthermore, it isn't that overpowered. There are much better things worth getting banned. And no, if it gets banned, Goyo Guardian will not come back. If Goyo was a higher Level, such as 8, it would be fair. As a Level 6, it's broken.

I can see why Monster Reborn would be banned. If it is banned, as long as it and Premature Burial are both banned, I wouldn't mind DMoC coming back.

Premature Burial will never come back, not as long as Dewloren/Brionac are around. Use it on one, return it to hand by their effect, use it again. Hidden Armory can recycle it, too.

Giant Trunade will stay gone, especially with 2 Swords and 2 CotH. Speaking of CotH, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that it will go to 3. It is a great card, and it is too good to be Unlimited.

Rescue Rabbit will not go below 2 this next format. If it remains a problem at 2, it will go down further next format. Evolzar Laggia is fine where it is. I doubt they'll hit it, since most duels only 1 or 2 of it hit the field.

Darksoul? What? X-Sabers haven't even been topping. Same for Infernity Barrier. Once the decks start topping again, then you can think about it. I think both are fine even with the decks topping really. The problem with X-Sabers is Faultroll. The problem with Infernities is the Mirage + Street Patrol combo into the Trishula loop.

Magician of Faith should stay banned in my opinion. If they get rid of Reborn I wouldn't mind it going to 1 though. It's not that overpowered anymore.

Gold Sarcophagus is fine. Only Rabbit decks use it because it's so slow.

MST is probably fine, it's not that good of a card really. It's just a 1 for 1 card. Heavy Storm is fine, too, since it's at 1. If they ban Heavy Storm, MST MUST stay at 3, because Trunade is not gonna come back.

Future Fusion might be banned simply because of the HERO Quasar deck.

BLS-EotB could quite easily be banned again. It's also just as likely that BLS-EotB will stay at 1. Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End will most likely never come back. It's too overpowered, especially with plays involving Sangan/Dandylion/Glow-Up Bulb/Spore/etc.

As for Agents, Hyperion is the most likely card to suffer a hit. I can see it going to 2, although it would be funny if they hit Mystical Shine Ball instead.

As for Inzektors, they can get hit in March anyways, but it's unlikely. They're already out in OCG though so who knows. They'll be out in TCG for around a month before the list. Dragonfly and/or Hornet to 2, maybe 1.

Witch of the Black Forest and DAD are inversely proportional in the amount of copies of each we get. If we have DAD, we don't have Witch. If we have Witch, we don't have DAD. End of story. Then again, they could both be banned. But they will never be out together. Sangan would probably get banned if Witch came back, too. As it is, I'm of the mind that DAD is less of a problem than Witch, so it should stay as is. Sangan could easily get banned regardless of a change to Witch's ban status, however.

Slifer the Sky Dragon is fine as it is. It's not that good. Only Frogs and Gadgets would use it anyways.

CCV comes back when--never. ESPECIALLY not with Sangan around. So many combos... Just what we needed, Tour Guide into a search and the death of all 1500 and higher ATK monsters.

Tsukuyomi should stay banned. As the | List of Reasons for why cards are Currently Banned states, "Reusable Book of Moon effect. Hamster, Ryko, Hamster, Ryko ... OMG NOO!!!!!" Speaking of BoM, it would be fine at 2 in my opinion. Especially with the possibility of Priority going away, it would be great at 2.

Royal Oppression is a bit biased and broken. Really the only massive-swarm deck that can beat it easily is Inzektors, and only because they pop it before they swarm. However, with 3 MST and 1 Heavy Storm, it could possibly be alright to bring it back.

Last Turn will NEVER come back. EVER. Archlord Kristya, Jowgen the Spiritualist, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, and Vanity's Fiend all make Last Turn an OTK with a 0% chance of your opponent winning. There are also a variety of ways to almost always ensure a win with cards that will always have a higher ATK than the opponent's monsters: The Wicked Avatar, Kazejin, Sanga of the Thunder, and Suijin. Alternatively, pick any monster with more than 3800 ATK, since the highest ATK a monster Summonable by Last Turn can have is 3800 (Beast Machine King Barbaros Ür). Furthermore, you can almost always guarantee a draw with cards such as Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, D.D. Warrior Lady, etc. I'll just leave | THIS here.

Judgment Dragon, Icarus Attack, and Ultimate Offering? No, no, and no. They're all fine. Lightsworns don't top as it is, so 3 JD would be fine. Blackwings and Dragunities don't top as it is, so 3 Icarus Attack should be fine. Ultimate Offering is fine, too. While Gadgets do have a nasty swarm engine with it, until HA07 they won't have Daigusto Emeral, allowing them to recycle their Gadgets over and over and over, as well as granting great draw power. Tribute 2 Emeral and a Lavalval Chain for Slifer, Ra, or Obelisk. I've seen this combo used to get out Horakhty easily, on turn 2 or 3.

Banning T.G. Hyper Librarian will NOT allow for Fishborg Blaster to come back. The problem with Librarian is that its effect isn't just once per turn. Alternatively, that it doesn't require a T.G. monster. Alternatively, that it is Level 5. Make it Level 8 and people won't be complaining. Actually, they still would. One for One + Dandylion + Glow-Up Bulb in the Deck + Spore in Graveyard/Foolish Burial + any Level 4 non-Tuner = Quasar if Librarian was Level 8. Then again, it does anyways. Never mind. :S (1for1, dis dandy, ss bulb, 2 tokens, foolish spore, normal the l4, spore eff, ban dandy, ss spore as l4, sync lib (if it's l5, spore + token; if it's l8, spore + the l4), sync formula using bulb and a token, draw 2, mill 1 for bulb eff, ss bulb, sync for final stars needed (if lib is l8, bulb + token for recipro; if it's l5, bulb + the l4 for catastor), draw 1, sync quasar using the 3 synchros.) At least it would mean that Fishborg Blaster wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is with Librarian as a Level 5.

If any part of the Plant Engine is hit, it would be Dandylion, not Glow-Up Bulb. Bulb is once per Duel, while Dandylion can be used over and over. Also, Debris Dragon + Dandylion = win.

The reason Cyber Jar is better than Morphing Jar 2 is that Cyber Jar has a set number of cards. That made it much easier to abuse, allowing the controller to gain advantage with ease. Morphing Jar 2 was at 2 for a time, but then destruction of monsters by effects became favored to destruction of monsters by battle in '05, and it came back up to 3. Nevertheless, Cyber Jar is one of the banned cards most likely to return. (Information courtesy of the | List of Reasons for why cards are Currently Banned.)

Gladiator Beast Bestiari is Limited for a reason. If it was at 2, I would fear for our lives as GBs took over the meta. Its effect isn't the biggest problem, really. The main problem is the part where Gyzarus annihilates the opponent's field.

MSE would probably be fine at 3, but who knows. It's at 2 for a reason: Empty Jar decks, etc.

Solemn Warning is fine where it is. I can see it going either up or down though. The cost makes it not so useful above 2, but it could also be cut to 1 just as easily as it could be raised to 3. Solemn Judgment is fine where it is. It costs half of your Life Points. It's fair.

Level Limit - Area B should stay at 1, although I can see it going to 2. With Gravity Bind at 3, I don't see a need for more Area B. And anyways, Area B is better than Gravity Bind in that most monsters have higher ATK than DEF.

I saw this: "Banned: Monster Reborn Solemn Judgement Maxx "C" Limited: Chaos Sorcerer Premature Burial Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End Thousand-Eyes Restrict Metamorphosis Change of Heart Baby Tiragon Witch of the Black Forest Semi-limited: Mystical Space Typhoon Pot of Duality Dust Tornado Spirit Reaper

Unlimited:" ^Worst ideas ever. I covered Monster Reborn, Solemn Judgment, Premature Burial, Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End, Witch of the Black Forest, and MST earlier. Maxx "C" is fine, although a drop to 2 would be okay. Chaos Sorcerer is fine. Nobody ever runs 3 anyways. Thousand-Eyes Restrict is staying banned, end of story. Too broken, and with Instant Fusion... Metamorphosis is staying banned simply because of Beast King Barbaros, Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast, and Metal Reflect Slime. Check its Card Tips page. Furthermore, it and Thousand-Eyes Restrict can never be at 1 in the same banlist. Change of Heart is staying banned forever. It's a free +1, and its worse counterpart Brain Control is also banned, and Brain Control's worse counterpart Mind Control is at 1. Change of Heart will never return. Baby Tiragon isn't nearly as good as Number 83: Galaxy Queen, and that's at 3, too. Pot of Duality is fine at 3. Few people even bother running 3. Dust Tornado isn't used anyways. It's fine as it is. Spirit Reaper is fine, nobody runs more than 2 really, usually no more than 1.

Pot of Greed will never come back, get that over your thick skulls everybody, EVERY banlist prediction, somebody says that. It won't happen. End of story. It's a free +1, and it speeds the deck up a lot. Allure + Pot of Greed + 2 Destiny Draw + 3 Trade-In would make Exodia decks very happy.

Graceful Charity will never come back. It's WAY too fast.

Please, people, read the | List of Reasons for why cards are Currently Banned. It's a guide for what is likely to happen. Use it to make REASONABLE guesses.

This massive list was written over the course of 2 or 3 hours by Menace13 (talk • contribs) at 07:44, January 9, 2012 (UTC).

Well said Menace and I agree with a lot of what you've put. Also I want to state now that my earlier comment about bringing back Last Turn was a JOKE! Seriously, I would have thought people would have known it was a joke by the fact I said only bring it back for the first week that Utopia Ray was out then ban it again! Of course it's never coming back! Although now that I think about it, this list is devoid of one card which is being abused quite often nowadays. Leviair the Sea Dragon. If this took a hit then it would help to neuter the decks which run Rabbit.--82.44.42.171--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 08:27, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

where there any infernity cards that were baned or limited they should take outt infernity launcher or was it wavine motion inferno off the list cause there hasnt been any good support cards for the infernity archetype in a while. --69.181.60.66 (talk) 08:14, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

they should make elemental hero stratos semi-limited as it can only search for HERO cards and its 2nd effect is too hard to get it to destroy several spell/traps KingDuque777 (talk • contribs) 12:55, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Leviair is an amazing card but you would have to Ban it to make much of an impact as Decks don't run more than one copy. Instead, Infernity Launcher should be Banned and Archfiend Semi-Limited. However, this will not happen until the Deck starts topping again. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 13:46, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Bann Infernity Launcher and semi-limit Infernity Archfiend and you will have killed what remains of the good points of the Infernities handless combos...I saw lot of people here only look for their own improvement. I disagree with Leviair or the Infernitys hiting the bannlist. Instead, I think Tour Guide, Rabbit and Black Luster will hit because they are topping too much. Maybe we will see again Judgment Dragon at 2, because 3 is overkilling indeed.

Koonami updated a thing about Dark World cards a while ago saying the they can not use their discard effects if the discard to the graveyard was a cost... therefore Graceful Charity is in no use to the Dark World cards AT ALL.

Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 14:49, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

No, Graceful Charity works in Dark World, because it's not a cost. It is one of the effects of the card. It's always been that way.129.1.192.124 (talk) 14:52, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Even Koonami states that the discarding of 2 cards in Graceful Charity is a cost.. If any card that states to do something without giving the option to do something else in its place its is a cost.. thus I draw 3 then my cost is discarding 2.. this has been a known face since Graceful Charity came out. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 14:56, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Wrong on two accounts. First, Graceful Charity is an effect. It says "then discard two cards", so it can't possibly be a cost. Second, Launcher and Archfiend are extremely overpowered. If you want to hurt them, hit those cards. The Deck can still do things without them. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 16:00, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Guys costs come BEFORE the effect not after it! So graceful charity is still broken it benifits fabled/DW/any deck that needs cards in graveyard LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 16:07, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I just messaged Koonami on what they say it is. When I get a response I will post it on here. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 17:12, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Must you continue this? You're wrong and your explanation is wrong. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 17:51, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

If discarding 2 cards for graceful charity was the cost, then it would have to be at the start of the effect before the 3 cars are drawn.

matthew.lightbody@talktalk.net (talk • contribs) 17:54, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I will continue this.. I don't believe you.. cost can come afterwards..
 * No it can't, actually. The cost has to come first, otherwise you're not paying for it beforehand. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 17:58, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

well I don't believe any of you because I don't know you.. thus I will find out from Koonami.. the creator of the cards... they'll know better. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 18:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Ok this might be the first time me and BF2 agree about something but yeah if graceful charity's discard was a cost it would say:"discard 2 cards to draw 3 cards" So its an effect lol LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 18:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

like I said if I know know you I don't trust you unless you are the creator of the game... so STFU.. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 18:13, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

implying that only the game creators have knowledge and understanding of the game....

matthew.lightbody@talktalk.net (talk • contribs) 18:29, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

K you can just belive anything graceful charity isnt coming back LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 18:38, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

true knowledge and understanding of the game yes.. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 18:38, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Actually, while Kazuki Takahashi created the game, I'm pretty certain that his main focus is on the manga (and to a lesser extent, the anime) than the actual game, and I've heard that he doesn't play (although that may not be true). BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 18:53, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Give it up Oz, you're arguing with people who most likely are judges for Konami anyway and yes they are right Graceful Charity is NOT a cost. A cost is the price to activate the card, therefore you cannot have the effect before you've paid the cost. Thus Graceful Charity is NOT a cost as you draw before you discard.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 18:57, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well they have people on staff that actually have played the game to help with the card rulings.And have a true understanding of the game... I've been playing since 2001/2002. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 18:59, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * So have I. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:01, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I have ODD don't tell me to give it up or I'll continue.. dummy... so STFU and go with my statements. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 19:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Obnoxious Dumbness Disorder? BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:04, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Yes they do have people on staff and they're called JUDGES! But in this instance we don't need one because it can be solved with a piece of light reading on your part. Read Cost please, this is the page which explains the rules of what a cost is and quite honestly you need to read it. Also please stop falling back on to the 'I've been playing since 2001' because you know what SO HAVE I! And if you don't honestly know the difference between a card's cost and effect by now then really where the hell have you been playing this game?--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 19:05, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

ODD = Oppositional Defiance Disorder - aka you oppose(disagree) me I can get really pissed. I have read the card and I disagree with you.I have judged it for myself.. and have decided it is a cost not an effect. Costs can come after words if explained in the text of the card that you have to do something after you do its effect. And I disagree with that article for the most part. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 19:16, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

You can't just "decide" that it's a cost. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:17, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

yes I can.. I ran tournaments.. so I know what I am talking about. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 19:22, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

I really doubt it. And you don't know what you're talking about. This article is right. Konami Banned Graceful Charity because of Dark World monsters. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 19:25, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Don't argue much Oz..im not saying that im the best here but i,firefall and bf2 know what we're talking about and GC is an effect you know what helped it going to the banlist? It has no costs LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 19:32, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

So you are saying because it helps out one specific monster type/meta it should stay banned that is illogical.. if that is the case then there are many many more cards that are like that that should be banned as well and are not.. there for it being banned is totally illogical. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 19:35, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Right enough is enough. Oz even though I can't tell if you're just plain trolling or you really do believe that Graceful Charity is a cost. Everyone here has told you that Graceful Charity isn't a cost but you keep believing it's a cost until the Konami people get back to you. They'll tell you exactly the same as we've told you but if that's the only thing that will convince you then so be it. So let's all now drop this Graceful Charity bs and get back to our ban list predictions!--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 19:35, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Right, i heared that the banlists are decided by weakening the decks that win in tournaments so can anybody give me a page that allows me to see the top decks in tournaments? LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 19:40, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

RABBIT WON'T GET LIMITED!
I just want to say a lot of people are saying Rabbit is gonna get limited but if they do we still have Guiba, Hydrogeddeon, and that new Evol coming out in Order of Chaos so if the limit anything they are gonna limit the Laggia and Dolka. Why would they limit the fuel when the machine using the fuel is the big problem.

The Evols aren't that great as a whole, and while Hydrogeddon is good, most decks are using Dimensional Fissure because of the edge it gives them. Guaiba does not deserve to be hit. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 21:22, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

There is even a ruling on the Wiki stating that it is an effect. ""Goblin of Greed" prevents discarding as a cost, but not as part of an effect. So "Goblin of Greed" will stop "Kuriboh", but not ... "Graceful Charity"."

As for Leviair, it doesn't deserve to be banned, and limiting it wouldn't fix anything. It's not the problem.

They would have to drop Laggia to 1 for it to help much. It's rare for two to be Summoned by the same player in the same duel. They usually go 1 Laggia and 1 Dolkka. Then the duel ends because they won. Limiting it to one would hurt the deck a bit, but not enough to kill it as badly as it needs to be killed. Menace13 (talk • contribs) at 22:51, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Rescue Rabbit should be banned just like Rescue Cat, konami has not learned anything fom rescue cat, it dosn't matter how many restrictions they give it. If it is a level 4 or lower monster who has no summoning restrictions, and MOST importantly the fact that he summons 2 monsters from the deck using only 1 card. Any level 4 or lower monsters who can specail summon 2 monsters from the deck during the main phase for no cost, can and will be abused. Especailly seen as it only ever used to get out the 2 evolzars. It was designed to be an xyz support card, but not specifically for juat these 2 xyz monsters. The 2 evolzars are both very overpowered themselves, laggia is a solemn judgemnt with 2400 attack, and dolkka is 2 Doomcaliber Knights in 1 card, they both deserve to be limited. Rescue rabbit would be so much fairer it's effect stopped you from xyz summoning on the very first turn of the duel. Finally I think it is unfair how you can call prioity with rabbit against Trap Hole, and how rabbit dodges the effect of Effect Veiler.

matthew.lightbody@talktalk.net (talk • contribs) 23:40, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Koonami stated that it was an effect of Graceful Charity... sorry... I wanted to be told by Koonami. Please accept my apologies everyone.. Master of OZ (talk • contribs) 23:44, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Will we see reborn tengu up on the forbidden list?Ja1lbreakr0cks (talk • contribs) 00:49, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

MY NEW PREDICTION of the Ban list 2012(March)
Banned:

Rescue Rabbit

Shard of Greed

Honest

Sangan

Morphing Jar

Dandylion

Marshmallon Reborn Tengu

Pot of Avarice << this card is more powerful then Pot of Greed.. hello adding 5 monsters to your deck then drawing 2.. over play much.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict - can be easily negated now.

Metamorphosis - hello there are more negate spells cards out there to negate it.

Limited:

Change of Heart

Pot of Greed

Call of the Haunted

Giant Trunade

Premature Burial

Chaos Sorcerer

Semi- Limited:

Spirit Reaper

Mystical Space Typhoon

Mirror Force

Unlimited:

Magical Stone Excavation

Laggia and Dolkka are fine as they are. Rabbit isn't anywhere near as broken as Rescue Cat (Rescue Cat could be gotten by Summoner Monk etc. while Rescue Rabbit can't be). The only thing necessary and appropriate to do to the Deck is to Semi-Limit Rescue Rabbit until it has been proven that it requires further hindrances.

No, Reborn Tengu will not be getting Semi-Limited or Limited this format. It's still TCG only.

As for you, Huguenot.Pirate, please use 4 tildes after your post so we know who you are.

As for your ideas, they all suck. All offense intended.

As I've said dozens of times before in this thread, Rescue Rabbit is fine. LOLWAT Shard of Greed? It's not even used much, and it's hardly good. And you want them to ban it while they unban Pot of Greed? Please, for goodness sake, read the thread before you decrease the intelligence of the entire thread in a single post. Honest is fine as it is. At one, it isn't easy to abuse, and almost no meta decks use it at the moment (Agents and Lightsworns have been going down in popularity and topping less and less frequently). Just search through the thread for my earlier opinion on Sangan. Morphing Jar? Why? It's not even used in any deck other than Dark Worlds and Fableds, and of course Empty Jar. Of those, only Dark Worlds have been topping. Dandylion is one of the few good ideas you had on that list; if anything in the Plant Synchro engine gets hit, it will be Dandylion. Marshmallon? LOL! Nobody uses it. NOBODY. Spirit Reaper is dozens of times better. Reborn Tengu, as I stated above, will not be banned. It's still TCG only, and it would never get fully banned. If anything they would only Semi-Limit it. That would be enough to kill it. Pot of Avarice is fine at one. It's not better than Pot of Greed in that Pot of Avarice isn't an instant +1. You have to have 5 monsters in the Graveyard first.

Assuming you mean Thousand-Eyes Restrict and Metamorphosis should be Limited, I will again refer you to my massive list further up in this thread. Same for Change of Heart and Pot of Greed and Call of the Haunted and Giant Trunade and Premature Burial and Chaos Sorcerer and MST and Spirit Reaper. Mirror Force will never go to Semi-Limited. It's an incredibly good card, and it should stay right where it is. I also covered Magical Stone Excavation above, although it wouldn't be that bad for it to be Unlimited.

Finally, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this list: [| List of Reasons for why cards are Currently Banned]. If you never look at anything on the Wiki again, at least read that. It tells you what cards are likely to come back. If it is a Very Low chance of coming back, or Never coming back, don't even THINK about putting it on your Banlist Prediction. End of story.
