Forum:Hoax cards

According to this post on Pojo by Kevin Tewart "Yasushi the Skull Knight" is fake. Assuming that that is true, "Masahiro the Dark Clown" and "Tomohiro the Mountain Warrior" must also be fake. I'm not entirely sure that he's right or not.

Narchibald84 created the articles. He made this post on Pojo after finding them. He mentions a few sites there, but I'm not sure if any of them are his original source. On the same thread Horoko says that since the cards are listed on JERP (Japanese Expert Rulings Page) in their Forbidden/Limited/Illegal lists, the cards are real. That's not an official site, but I think he's saying that they're very reliable.

Here in Japanese and here in English and Japanese are the Forbidden and Limited Lists for this year's World Championship, which was posted Konami's official OCG site. All three of the cards are listed there. That looks like proof that they are genuine or is there a possibility that Konami made a mistake or want to be sure people who have mistaken them for real don't play them.

In the event that they are actually fake, I think we should still keep their articles since they have received wide recognition in the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom, but of course mention on the articles that they are fake.

Also on the subject of hoaxes, we have an article on an April Fools' hoax, Gold Series 2008 April Fools. The set numbers there are fake and the cards "Emphasis of Light", "Eruption of Fire", "Neutralization Spell", "Neverfading Mist" and "Unlimited Blade Rain" are fake. Even though the articles acknowledge that they are hoaxes, I think we should still delete them. They don't seem that notable to me. I've almost never heard anyone talk about them after that April Fools'.

So does anybody have anything to add or agree/disagree with anything I've said. Please leave a message if you do. Thanks.
