Format seems pretty good. I would say it's a shame E-Drags are finally gone, but considering how obnoxious they've been for far too long, even at 1, and given that it lets Dragon Ravine not be completely bonkers and lets the babies come off the list (because let's be honest, without the big'uns, they're the common fodder they were supposed to be), good riddance.

 

The other unlimits would be surprising if Fists/Glads had actually been doing much. Bestiari has been long overdue, and Fists don't have Rekindling >1, so it's not like it's going to be ridiculous at all. Just fairly budget decks, especially for everyone who preemptively spec'd on 'em while they were practically nothing. And Goyo isn't even busted anymore.

 

Might try coming back, I'm that optimistic about it.

Why are TCG not hitting Shaddolls? Don't need a hard hit like in the OCG but come on, they are in the game longer than the BAs and they got hit first. Yes, I know Super Poly was hitted first but still.

 

Because Konami don't hit decks that are irrelevant. I mean, Bounzers have been in the game a pretty long time but they were never hit.

Seriously? Not relevant? Well, I am playing the wrong format then.

 

All I saw at my friends' locals were Qlips and BAs last format, with some random rogues here and there in the form of Dark Law HEROs and Madolche. Dolls weren't very well positioned.

 

That might be different around your parts, but I don't think KoA is that concerned about 'em atm.

Rulers finally being Banned is sexy.
(RIP in pepperoni, Redox, you magnificent bastard)

Snatch being again is silly, but hey, that was just them being experimental; This is fine.
DRAIN AND VANITY WERE BOTH HIT!??!?!?! ALL OF THE YES!!!

>Ravine Limited
>Hieratic RotA Unlimited
[Concerned groan]

They should have hit shaddolls more.

 

Shaddolls weren't that great when they were overwhelmed by the presence of Qliphort and Nekroz in the meta. They really were irrelevant and their greatest arsenals, Winda and Construct, could really do nothing.

Though I'm not sure how Japan deals with Shaddolls, at least in TCG land we're not beating a dead horse.

Japan has Seraphs and thus Seraphdolls/shock master. That's probably why Construct got rekt.

Lovely, let's take a look at this. This is my first time seeing the list and I didn't read the thread itself. First reactions, yay.

 

Newly Forbidden:
Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos  YAY!
Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders YAY!
Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms YAY!
Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls YAY! D-Rulers were some of the worst designed cards ever. They deserved it ages ago.
Snatch Steal YAY! I never bothered updating my Decks when this got unbanned because I felt it was ridiculously broken and felt dirty even thinking of using it.

Newly Limited:
Sinister Serpent With the errata, no doubt.
Tour Guide From the Underworld Good.
Dragon Ravine This was banned before, right? Well, with D-Rulers dead, it's a good time to let this back, but tentatively.
Preparation of Rites Understandable. Nekroz are probably abusing it, but I still like the card on its own.
Saqlifice Good. I heard this was an evil, evil card.
Symbol of Heritage What? Where was this before? Why am I suddenly worried about what's below this?
Temple of Kings With the errata, of course.
Crush Card Virus With the errata, of course.
Exchange of the Spirit I'm not going to keep saying this.
Ring of Destruction See above.
Skill Drain GOOD.
Vanity's Emptiness GOOD!

Newly Semi Limited:
Qliphort Scout Okay.
Nekroz of Brionac Okay.
Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En ...o...kay?
Charge of the Light Brigade Wasn't this limited? Why is it at 2 now?
Sacred Sword of Seven Stars Okay. D-Rulers gone.

Newly Unlimited
Brotherhood of the Fire Fist -Spirit No comment.
Burner, Dragon Ruler of Sparks Teehee.
Gladiator Beast Bestiari Interesting. Explains the Gyzarus reprint.
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness Okay.
Lightning, Dragon Ruler of Drafts This is cute.
Lonefire Blossom Uh-oh.
Reactan, Dragon Ruler of Pebbles Chibi D-Rulers are free!
Stream, Dragon Ruler of Droplets So funny. No need to keep them banned with the adults gone, but it's still comical.
Goyo Guardian Okay, I guess.
Hieratic Seal of Convocation Which one is this again? The search card? Ehhh...

 

Overall, I like.

Little late on the replies but might as well.  My comments in BOLD.

 

Newly Forbidden:
Dragon Rulers Okay.  'Bout time, tbh.
Snatch Steal Was still pretty stupid.  Good.

Newly Limited:
Sinister Serpent New errata so okay.
Tour Guide From the Underworld Hurts BA a bit, but okay.
Dragon Ravine Rulers are gone so okay.
Preparation of Rites Wow.  With the reprint I expected Manju instead of this.
Saqlifice Good.  Card does way too much.
Symbol of Heritage New errata so okay.
Temple of Kings New errata so okay.
Crush Card Virus New errata so okay.
Exchange of the Spirit New errata so okay.
Ring of Destruction New errata so okay.
Skill Drain Good.  Card was a problem, but Qlips made it more so.
Vanity's Emptiness Very Cool.  

Newly Semi Limited:
Qliphort Scout This plus Saqlifice?  Okay.
Nekroz of Brionac Okay. 
Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En Iffy on this, but Sams are doing squat right now, so...
Charge of the Light Brigade RulerSworn is no longer a thing so this'll boost PureSworns
Sacred Sword of Seven Stars No Dragon Rulers means this card is okay.

Newly Unlimited

Baby Rulers Daddies are gone so babies are okay.

Brotherhood of the Fire Fist -Spirit Favorite move of the list.  My Fire Fists are back!
Gladiator Beast Bestiari Fine.  Glads suck anyway.
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness ...Um.  Fine, I guess?
Lonefire Blossom Plants are back I guess.
Goyo Guardian Okay.
Hieratic Seal of Convocation Hieratics aren't doing anything either.  Okay.

 

All in all a nice looking list.  Only two iffy moves (Shi En and Bestiari) but otherwise I'm happy with it.

Symbol of Heritage New Errata so okay

Err.... Symbol of Heritage didn't get an errata recently (In fact it hasn't been reprinted since 2007)

 

Someone want to remind me which of the stupid cards brought back are the ones that got reworked?

Sinister Serpent

Ring of Destruction

Temple of the Kings

Crush Card Virus

Exchange of the Spirit
