Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG - New Ban List
Unless Upper Deck manages a last-minute change, this'll end up as our ban list, not just Japan's.
The new format bans "Magician of Faith", "Breaker the Magical Warrior", and "Call of the Haunted". We get "Monster Reborn" back to 1, "Raiza the Storm Monarch", "Advanced Ritual Art", and "Ojama Trio" at 1, "Gadget" Effect Monsters, "Pot of Avarice", "Apprentice Magician", "Reckless Greed", "Creature Swap", and "Jinzo" to three, and "Book of Moon", "Necroface", "Cyber Dragon", "Foolish Burial", "Magical Stone Excavation", "Mage Power", and "Light and Darkness Dragon" at 2. And for those skeptics, here is my proof. |
Seriously!? But I thought that the option banlist on WC08 had been confirmed as the official March 2008 list...
Ah, never mind. I'll miss Breaker, but Monster Reborn? Yes, Pleaseandthankyou. Was LaDD being run in threes before anyway? I mean, it's pretty hard to scrounge tribute fodder for it anyway... |
Call of the Haunted gone while Monster Reborn being back is the surprising move. If they want recursion to be fair, why not 2 premature burial instead of 1 premature with 1 monster reborn? o_O; I'm am *guessing* that this is an attempt to discourage people from careless monster dump. Whatever you dump now may be whatever you face next round. I'm guessing that's the point of it.
I think Ojama Trio is a japanese thing, not something we'll understand. Gadgets back to 3 with creature swap 3 just stated how I was pretty darn good at prediction of last format how gadgets remain as the most consistent deck regardless of zombies and LaDD early last banlist. Although gadgets only won top 8 near the end, it was definitely joy for me XD; I welcome plenty of these changes except for the weird Monster Reborn one, but I won't condemn it yet as I did state my potential reason for it. |

As for "Call of the Haunted", revival on your opponent's turn as opposed to revival on your turn is probably why they banned that and brought "Monster Reborn" back. Quote:
Having played with "Gravekeeper's" Decks since PGD first came out, there's nothing out there that can surprise me. I'm a master of that archetype. |
I suppose I can live without Breaker, Magician of Faith is understandable, but seriously letting people have more then 1 set of gadgets seems a bit unfair. Raiza I'm happy about.

Oh god... This is my dream format. I only own 2 Cyber Dragon and 1 Raiza and I never bothered using them because I never had 3 copies of all of them. I can finally use them! Wooo. XD
Creature Swap back to three is nice too. Monster Reborn is a nice surprise though. |
I think the reasoning behind Monster Reborn is a combination of what NiGHTS and Frosty suggested. First off, Call of the Haunted was slightly slower because it's a trap card and theoretically it should be weaker then the big reborn. However, what's the monster most often brought back with call of the haunted? Jinzo. What does Jinzo do? Negate the destruction clause of Call of the Haunted. Badda-bring, badda-boom. Aside from that, there is also the "be careful... now your opponent can go rifling through your graveyard!" factor.
I smile and laugh as Raiza as cut down to one. The number of possible Spin cards in my opponent's deck just went from six to four. *smirketh* |
I started to play Yu-gi-oh again and what is this ban list for exactly? is it cards that you can't use in tournaments or in games???

I still am wondering how Dark Armed Dragon didn't get to be restricted... I mean, we restrict LaDD, but doesn't restrict the card that put LaDD out of business in Japan?
|
I think it's something to do with "Dark Armed Dragon" requiring exactly 3 DARK monsters in your Graveyard to be Summoned.
|
When did that ever get to be difficult >_>
|
It's the fact that we have "D.D. Crow", "Disappear", "Misrevive", "Soul Release", "Macro Cosmos", "Dimensional Fissure", "Dark Magician of Chaos", and even "Fiend Comedian", I think. Let's say you have exactly 3 DARK monsters in your Graveyard during your Standby Phase, and I activate "Disappear". Now you have two, and one's removed from play. "Dark Armed Dragon" is now a dead card in your hand.

thats so not fair. I had a cyber jar in my deck.

I think Cyber Jar is kind of gone for a few years now actually o_O;
|
Cyber Jar was banned for good reason. It's like if they never banned CED.

^^ nothing affecting my Counter-Fairy / Removal / Control deck. Well, except Jinzo being 3 but I don't care about Jinzo XD.
I run 2 Macro Cosmos , 3 Banishers of the Radiance, and 2 Banishers of light in my main Deck XD Oh right, the Agent of Creation is a kick ass card! Usually at least one Shine Ball gets to live as a "free" tribute or something. XD Works really well with Voltanis too. And I think it could work well with D.D. cards, but the only ones I use are D.D. survivors x 2 . The rest of my monsters are Fairies. |
CED = Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End.
I'd imagine Cyber Jar was banned because its effect is just horribly lame (though I'm pretty sure someone else can explain it better). Just use Morphing Jar 2, it has the underwhelming version of Cyber Jar's effect. |

2. CED is Chaos Emperor Dragon |

Anyway......Breaker & MoF banned again, eh? Not that surprising...but I am surprised that we didn't see the semi-traditional switch-over of Ring of Destruction. However, that isn't the biggest surprise: Why is Jinzo at three now? Just kidding. Of course, the biggest surprise here is Monster Reborn. This has been banned pretty much for as long as we've had a banlist, and now it comes out? I mean, in the days of Perfect Circle I could understand it, as a counter to the Disc Commander abuse...but now? And they take out Call of the Haunted for it? So...we get less abusability on the opponent's turn in return for potentially double the targets, especially with the keep of Mirror Force. Honestly, what does it matter if you're CotH-ing Jinzo or MRing it, since it'll be staying either way? The only difference is that a chained Tornado/MST won't stop it anymore... I'm also slightly stunned that they're actually going after Cyber Dragon (finally), and yes, Jinzo going to 3 is a stun as well. |
