The heck? They banned Neptune, and this soon; Independent Nightingale isn't even in TCG yet.

No more Emptiness, I find it funny; TCG so scared of floodgates? xD Although to be fair, they did give green light to Imperial Order.

I like the limit on Maxx C; never was a fan of that card, personally.

 

They didn't go as hard with the hits on Zoodiac and Slumber; guess Zoodiacs will stay around for a while in TCG. Makes sense since they got to sell the upcoming Zoodiacs.

 

Still no Construct unban, bummer.

 

EDIT:

Also, no Toadally hit yet, yesh!

All the list need is to unban Stratos to push HEROes further :v

Thinking about it, Maxx "C" to 1 actually makes sense. You play round it til your opponent drops it, then you're free, which means it's gonna take a lot more thinking and skill to actually decide when the best time is to drop it. It reminds me a lot of when Heavy Storm was @1 in that regard.

 

Overall though this list seems very lightweight given how long it's been. Zoo didn't get hit quite hard enough, would like to have seen Drident to 1 as well as Rat to 2. Emptiness ban is years too late and they decide to hit it when it's not even the format's biggest problem any more? Why not ban D-Barrier instead?

Banned:

Majespecter Unicorn - Kilin (from Limited) Bai.

The Tyrant Neptune (from Unlimited) WHAT? Are you funking serious? The problem with Neptune is not Neptune itself, it's what you Tribute FOR Neptune. BAN THE funking LOLIBIRD FUSION, NOT THIS!!

Vanity's Emptiness (from Limited) Okay.

 

Limited:

Maxx "C" (from Semi-Limited) Are you serious? Of all of the cards to bring down to 1, they bring down funking Maxx C? Is Konami of Amerca on funking crack?

Rescue Cat (from Banned) Errata.

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (from Banned) Errata.

Brain Control (from Banned) Errata.

Future Fusion (from Banned) Errata.

Imperial Order (from Banned) Errata.

 

Semi-Limited: 

Wisdom-Eye Magician (from Limited) It's not like Magicians will ever be relevant again. This could go to 3 for all I care.

Zoodiac Ratpier (from Unlimited) From what I heard, Zoodiac's "You can't YGO" combo requires 3 Rat, so I guess this is a decent hit. I'd rather ban this piece of sheet, and why is Drident untouched?

Interrupted Kaiju Slumber (from Unlimited) Because it seems like the "either you go first or you lose" policy is what's going to reign for the next few years in YGO. This should have gone to 1.

 

Unlimited:

Sangan (from Banned) Errata.

 

Wow. This is the shittiest ban list I've seen since 2012. Great job, Konami of America, you have outdone yourselves once again.

They hit...Maxx C...........again.

 

Vanity's had to go, Kirin deserved to go, and we got some new errataed banned toys to play with.

 

Other than that, I'm disappointed. 1 Maxx C isn't going to cut it, and 2 Ratpiers is still plenty for the deck to make Drancia and whatever.

 

Better buy those Barrages before they go back up.

 

Also, guess who has a secret rare imperial order. Errata or not the card is still kind of funking busted

Why did Slumber get semi-limited?

It's a dark hole, that gives you the biggest monster on board, and then next turn searches god removal

Pay 700 every turn, and you can't turn off

 

Zoos can with Drancia tho

Actually, the Ratpier semi-Limit is a deceptively good hit, IMO. Even with x3 Tenki and Barrage in TCG, a single Ratpier can no longer produce a Rank4+Drancia on its own; it will need the assistance of other cards to get that extra Level4 on board. At least until the next Zoodiac batch comes out, enabling Lyca + Ram pops. Which makes me think that Master Peace Zoodiac variant may get the upper hand in TCG, due to their ability of popping that Ram with the True Draco field and True King techs; not to mention that the engine that kept the variant on check, Kaiju, got slightly hit with the semi-Limit on Slumber.

Wait so the list takes effect on March 31st...

 

 

...could this be forshadowing for the TCG banlist to return to its list per 6 months as if TCG were having troubles with getting used to the OCG 3 month change when it happened this could make sense (also means the next list would be September 31st.)

 

At least rat at 2 doesn't seem that bad for TCG (at test it doesn't mean your facing 3 Drident) also as funny as vanity's being banned we still have 3 Dimension Barrier and the now unbanned Imperial Order to stop our spells.

Can't they do the Fusion Sub- Norden play off Bull?

 

At that point Lyca can make the second XYZ you need

 

I think?

Just realized that Grass didn't get hit either. Grass decks were like the second best thing after Zoo and now they're pretty much the best deck. 60 > 40?

zoo is still the best deck

 

Rat semi doesn't kill the deck at all

Grass most likely will be put on check once Ghost Ash is released on TCG, anyway.

Yeah, looks like that's an option OCG didn't have due to the ban on Norden, but I guess it would require extra resources while Bull could search for something else instead. IDK if it would be worth it, or enough to surpass the Master Peace variant.

Not funny, it makes sense. Someone else put it best; with Emptiness at 3 it's a card you can build and play around expecting to see often, but at 1 it becomes that random sack that you would be stupid to try and play around yet there's nothing you can do once it hits. Either have it at 3 or ban it, though much better to keep a complete shut-out card banned than anything.

 

 

Yeah, safe to say that's the case, but damn, personally I really wanted them to emergency errata Nightingale instead. Oh, well.

 

You do realize how stupid that would be, right?

 

 

 

Overall, this is a good list to see. Zoodiacs will get hit more once MACR has done its circulation, and hopefully there are more Kaiju hits to come. Or, at the least, hitting Slumber is enough to convince most decks to not run them anyways, since that was more or less the tipping point.
