We all know that Snatch Steal was unbanned a while ago, only to then get rebanned. I'm not exactly sure why, but I hated seeing the thing. However, what about Brain Control? This is a card I've been wanting to see come back for a while. Unlike Snatch Steal, it is not searchable and has a cost. Granted, it has a small cost, but one bigger than Snatch Steal.

 

Discuss.

Its the versatility of [Change of Heart] that makes it so utterly powerful; You're not just getting rid of a monster of your choice, you're adding it to your own field. You can use it to attack, you could tribute it for a monster, you could use it as a cost for one of your spells or traps (Enemy controller to essentially kill a monster disregarding any effects on it and steal one more? I dunno what was really around back then). It's essentially a +1 that has no cost at all, and gives you a huge advantage for 1 turn, or the rest of the game if you use it for something or are going to straight up win that turn because of it. Even with Pot of Greed there's still some luck involved; you could get 2 crappy cards and get nowhere. With this, you'll always be able to get exactly what you want.

...Pretty much all of what I said about Change of Heart Applies to this thing too. Way, way too powerful, even as a scrub in 6/7th grade I was glad to see this thing hit the banned list. Nobody liked getting games stolen from them with it. Life points are not an adequate cost most of the time, especially at such low numbers.

That would explain why you think this card can come back without and errata

Not saying that it can/should come bsck, but the argument of a card being broken in a past format, especially one so long ago, doesn't have too much bearing on how broken if is now. For example, Yata Garasu was broken as hell back in the day, but now it would be totally fine at 3.

 

Tl;dr Brain Control being broken has nothing to do with Tele-DAD
