Well, there goes another card I bought that got banned. Firewall Dragon was mere days before the last list. Grinder Golem was over a month ago, and it was only one copy. So not too upset. Thank god I waited before getting a Gumblar Dragon, because I felt it was the closest out of the bunch to be on this list. Gold Sarcophagus sits back at 1 once more, but thankfully I didn't buy more than 3 copies. As for Scapegoat, I recall having four or five copies, but I guess I can just distribute the extra copies into other Decks I'm trying to build.

 

Really don't care for most of the cards that have been unlimited except for The Monarchs Stormforth.

 

I'd call this list bitter-sweet, but there's next to no sweetness. There's almost nothing that was lifted that I wanted.

Just got Gumblar, so kind of miffed that it's banned, but for the best. Weird that I both love Dark Warrior, and yet I'm happy to see Rhongo gone and Grepher at 1.

That's how I felt after I had ordered Firewall Dragon, only to find out that it was banned.

 

And related and somewhat unrelated to this list: Should I get Divine Sword - Phoenix Blade or is it best I hold off on that? I know it was banned in OCG, but I don't know what place it has in TCG.

Was just about to say, I'm glad Phoenix Blade survived this banlist. I think it largely has the same place in TCG as OCG thanks to the Dark Warrior engine, and considering the other cards they hit here, I'd say you should get it, so it might be less egregious here.

 

I've also been considering getting Cyberse Clock Dragon, that might be a fun niche.

Slash Draw FTK being nerfed is understandable but disappointing IMO. Is not as degenerate as Danger Dark World Firewall FTK (that literally filled the entire bracket) only made to 1 slot of top 30ish But oh well its an FTK...

 

I also neverlike card ban that make the card usable but completely pointless like Slash Draw to 1. Again i get the context but if i were konami i rather either Ban all 3 copies or make it 2 but nerf some of its enablers

 

TrueD and Monarch get a nice share. Librarian full copy return is nice. Kaijus getting their main consistancy is also nice

 

Preemptive hit on orcust?

A pretty good list overall. My only complain on what has been done should be soul charge, I didnt want it to go but it had it comming.

On what has been omitted, Skull dread should ve been limited before it gets out of control again, reincarnation should be hit just for Konami to push other decks and kill droll lock (even if it is inconsistent has funk and has done little to nothing), Collosus should be limited too, but I can understand why it dodged the list (for now).

 

With gumblar gone Summon Sorc lost it s steping stone role unless you want to go for Gryphon. Might like to see how it operates now without gumblar.

 

So now that the warrior engine is almost dead can I have mali back to 3 (probably not before Isolde goes (which will happen sooner or later).

So they banned the 2 most toxic cards from the format (Gumblar and Rhongo) ... is this list a fake ?

 

Shurit 0 -> 1

Brionac 1 -> 3

Yes, Nekroz are getting better.

 

Also Construct (about time), Cyber Stein (meh) and Chaos Emperor (nerfed) are back.

 

I did not expect them to fix this many issues, this list along with the previous one finally destroyed the 3 most toxic cards from Link Vrains (Firewall, Rhongo, Gumblar).

How I feel about CED to @1 personally:

Better have a print out of its errata on hand till the errata'd version gets a reprint for EU.

 

Reincarnation should be hit just for Konami to push other decks and kill droll lock (even if it is inconsistent has funk and has done little to nothing)

Whilst Reincarnation/Droll was annoying to deal with, on the other hand Trickstar hasn't done much lately and aren't going to get any support any time soon.
