Justice for Judgment Dragon!

Pretty much, this "nuker" dragon would be a nomination for limited list. Lightsworns are really overrated because of this overrated dragon. How many times I was nuked by TWO JD even though I'd tried my best to counter it. Peace to those Lightsworn users! ^^ --SilentHero26 12:38, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

haha true for Judgment Dragon, he'll be limited this March i guess. June23ly 13:27, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Dear God I hope JD gets hit. --DeaththeKid

Stardust Dragon

Stardust should be limited if not banned all together it's like a slightly toned down Solemn Judgment that just keeps coming back over and over again DaywalkerAA 15:57, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Stardust Dragon deserves no place on the Limited or Forbidden list whatsoever. First of all, it has an extremely low ATK score for a Level 8 monster. Secondly, its effect can be easily countered.

• Compulsory Evacuation Device
• Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
• Mist Wurm
• D.D. Crow
• Book of Life
• Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
• Phoenix Wing Wind Blast

To name a few. Most of these are splashable, as well.

Oh, and for my own suggestion. Ojama Trio needs to come back. At least back up to two, maybe even three. The reason? Nearly all opponents can easily use these little Tokens for Synchro Material, avoiding the damaging effect as well. It would help Burn decks come back a bit, slowing down the current Meta, even just a little bit.--Akiza Izayoi 20:05, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, Stardust isn't broken by itself, but Starlight Road being released puts us in a sticky situation. Summoner Monk with a Level 4 Tuner is bad enough, but a trap card Synchro Summon is just ridiculous.

Remember that if you use Starlight Road, and Tribute the Dragon for its effect, it won't come back during the End Phase.--Akiza Izayoi 21:39, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Why wouldn't it come back? Starlight Road says it negates the effect of the destruction card and destroys it, nothing about negating the effect of Stardust Dragon.

Starlight Road doesn't Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon. Synchro Monsters need to be Synchro Summoned properly in order to be Special Summoned from the graveyard. --Blue (Talk) 21:55, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Synchro Summons are Special Summons, though, also the anime card text reads in more detail:

"Activate only when an effect was activated that destroys 2 or more cards you control. Negate that effect and destroy that card, and then Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck, ignoring the summoning conditions. (This Special Summon is treated as a Synchro Summon.)"

And since when do we use the anime effects over the effects they've been given for their official release? --Blue (Talk) 22:18, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Because it's not stated on the card (the text in parens) doesn't make it any less true. Of course we don't have any official rulings on the card yet, but I don't see anything to convince me right now that Stardust wouldn't be able to use his effect. I accept the anime ruling in this case because other than the parens the card text is essentially the same. It's not like Copycat or Catapult Turtle or something crazy like that in the anime.

In the anime, the Special Summon was treated as a Synchro Summon. The OCG card only says Special Summon. There is no reason to assume that it somehow counts as Synchro Summoning. --Blue (Talk) 22:35, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

When Stardust Dragon uses its negating effect, it will not revive itself if Special Summoned by Starlight Road. Why? Synchro Summoning counts as Special summoning, HOWEVER Special summoning does NOT count as Synchro Summoning. A Synchro monster must properly be Synchro Summoned to be "revived" from the grave/RFP zone. Starlight Road SPECIAL SUMMONS Stardust Dragon, which is NOT Synchro Summoning, meaning Stardust CANNOT be revived, even with its own effect. Hope this cleared things up. ElectroBlade 23:04, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

I never thought that Stardust Dragon would be limited because in can be countered easily nowadays and has a pathetic low attack for a level 8 monster. Now, about Starlight Road ur talking about,

"Stardust Dragon" won't revive itself when you use its effect if SS'd by starlight road because, a ruling state that it must be properly synchro summoned first to special summon it from the Grave/RFG zone. It's like a semi-nomi rulings. Because it was not synchro summoned properly but was SS'd by a card effect, it can't revive itself. --SilentHero26 10:58, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Goyo I'd like to ban

I would really like to ban "Goyo Guardian"! The hell with that guy who steals my monsters. It's not very logical to be a lvl 6 monster who has a ridiculous 2800 atk, have an irritating effect and can be summoned that easily?! Even though its limited now but its still pack a punch. --SilentHero26 10:58, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

My Comments

1. Goyo can't be banned. He is just a counter for too much stalling like for instance the morphtronics. its just a single Battle Mania and Goyo and say bye bye to morphtronic stallers Also, he is just a beatstick with no powers that activate in any phases except when he destroys monsters in battle. i know 2800 atk is too much for a lvl 6 monster, please just deal with it.

2. Stardust is just good for negating card destroyers, but he got crap stats for a lvl 8 monster.

3. JD needs to be limited. PERIOD.( if you wont limit him just semi limit any limited cards that can do otks, except DAD^_^)

4.ban the very low level/stat old school vanillas. so they can be in the hall of fame ^_^

June23ly 14:03, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

How about Honest?

Say, will they place him to semi-limited or actually in the Limited list? It will definitely cripple LIGHT deck out there if he was semi-limited, or limited rather. I don't see why other people want to limit "Honest". There are many DARK support cards than LIGHT do so I think they might leave "Honest" alone. What's your thoughts about this??? --SilentHero26 05:04, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well, DARK is about to get a huge nerf with Holy Light. Maybe they'll limit Honest to compensate. Runer5h 17:13, January 24, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

Mezuki DX

I love Mezuki so much, but it is sooooo broken. But I sadly think it will be limited, and when they do, I will be very disappointed in konami. Goblinpunch787

There should only one Sun and Moon

I bet Sun Dragon Inti and Moonlight Dragon Quilla will be limited. Much like Stardust they keep coming back over and over and over, however they have average stats for their levels and summon the other reguardless if it's an effect or battle. Also let's not forget one thing Inti will destroy the monster that fights him and inflict half the destroyed monster's ATK. The only thing that can beat them is a deck with removal cards, like D.D. Crow, and even then if the user has one or two more it's practicly unfair. --Azure Knight-Zeo 23:11, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Eh. Try a deck with monster effect negation. The combo is inconsistent and difficult to maintain - not at all broken. Runer5h 23:24, January 26, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

Do you mind elaborating on how it's hard to maintain? True an "anti-meta" deck like the Koa'ki Meirus and Gravekeeper's. --Azure Knight-Zeo 00:04, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Brionac, RFG cards, etc. --Blue (Talk) 00:05, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

RFG? --Azure Knight-Zeo 00:43, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

RFG = Remove From Game

When Rex Godwin was using those cards, I was thinking that Jaden can easily beat him just by using Mole. Falzar FZ 00:16, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

• Limiting these cards will not make a difference, you only need one copy of each. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 15:06, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

You know what?

I miss Card of Safe Return. My psychic deck raged with that card. But as long as Plaguespreader Zombie + Imperial Iron Wall + Card of Safe Return = Ridiculous, I don't think it will come back..*hinthint* *winkwink* *coughBANPLAGUESPREADERcough*.--Helix-king 08:28, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

• Say no more, say no more. --Gadjiltron 11:36, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Gateway of the Six

What are the chances they will semi-limit or even limit this card? Everyone I duel when I use my Six Sam deck says it should be, but is it that broken?

208.35.40.67 15:24, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nah. Six Samurai don't win tournaments anymore, so Konami won't limit it. Runer5h 20:22, January 27, 2010 (UTC)Runer5h

No chances at all. Samurais aren't even that good. ~InfinitySlayer 23:17, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

BAN THE FOLLOWING:

BRIONAC, DRAGON OF THE ICE BOUNDARY

DARK ARMED DRAGON

SOLEMN JUDGMENT

LIMIT THE FOLLOWING:

BLACK LUSTER SOLDIER - ENVOY OF THE BEGINNING

GOLD SARCOPHAGUS

ULTIMATE OFFERING

Personally I think that if every single card was made unlimited for a year and then figure out what people use and then ban and limit accordingly so that the list is made more up to date...Cards like Black Luster Solider - Envoy Of The Beginning are so out of date that in the current meta they wouldnt even make a bit of difference. I'm more afraid of 2 JDs that are easy as hell to get out on the field in one turn. And what threat does Sinister Serpent make for anyone...i'm sure a zombie swarm strategy would win over a sinister serpent recycle strategy...any comments...So i say BAN JD and DAD and settle a lot of frikin arguments...if you take out both power plays and then you limit the crap out of zombies to kill all 3 main formats...then see where the game goes... (Also, I am not biased here...I own a DAD deck and a JD Twilight deck...and i win WAAAAY too much...so seriously they all need to get banned.)

I see Judgment Dragon and DaD get hacked by you, despite being weaker than the Envoys in every aspect. So that's impossible. Now then what are your thoughts on Twilight getting the Envoys if you're so adamant about getting them back? "Here, I'm gonna drop a Judgment Dragon, nuke, drop another, remove for Emperor Dragon, summon Dark Armed Dragon, and remove for Luster Solder - Envoy. Stop me now." Are you kidding? The Envoys would propel Twilight into the first ever Tier 0 deck. Get real. Your banlist is outrageous. Cards that aren't very powerful (Mist Wurm, Brionac) getting Forbidden? Letting Reborn and Premature off? Wow. God save us all from Twilight. DemonGodAsura 22:00, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Your list is pretty flawed. There is absolutely no way BLS, CED, Cyber Jar, DMoC, Sentry, Reborn, Premature, and Sinister Serpent will ever be unbanned. Do you even know how overpowered these cards are? Also, LOL @ unlimiting Malicious. ~InfinitySlayer 23:23, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yes right, we should unban two of the most broken cards ever, one of the most powerful destruction methods, among other broken cards and ban two cards that make a good but balanced deck meta, a universal negation card any deck can use, and a situational card that isn't easily summoned and is a 2500 ATK vanilla once summoned? I only have one thing to say: "Learn to play" --Reimu-H 23:28, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
