You have a few balance issues, mostly in the form of Blackwings. Shura, Bora, Gale, Blizzard, and Vayu make this cards condition ridiculously easy to execute. If you use it's second effect, it's a more than encouraging +1, whereas the original was only a +0, and if you use it's second effect, the -1 is almost completely mitigated by the practicallity of banishing cards.

That being said, it was a great move on your part not to put "up to" in the cards effect. Banishing isn't as debilitating as it used to be, but the destruction effect is still too useful as it hits Spells, Traps, and Monsters.
