Man they funked up (as in destroyed) a lot. Those bans are crazy good though ngl

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

I would no t be he guy I am if I supported the Lavaval chain ban. Was dumb then, is dumb now. Wow the Dante limit is amazing

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Man they funked up (as in destroyed) a lot. Those bans are crazy good though ngl

They eradicated the top 4 decks.

 

 

Lol ravine still limited

 

>Norden banned, best IF target unbanned

 

Let the chaos start

 

From the top:

 

Life Equalizer-great ban

Monkey- knee jerk over-kill not at all needed

Chain-why though, Harbinger was run more than nat beast and infernity suck

 

 

Sangan-still too good

TER-will be interesting to see how instant fusion's usage rises thanks to this, potentially a little too good since it DOES stop the battle phase

Dante- Ritual BA is a deck, they have never needed more than 1 Dante, and now you don't need to make bad hits like cir and graff

TGU-looks like ritual BA and searching for Djinn is out too

Dracopals hits- good put them down for good.

 

Monarchs- personally think that Stomr4th was the right hit and not these, but I'll live

 

Tele- Monarch/PK hit that will hopefully come to TCG

 

Pendulum calls is like "why" Insight already got limited

 

Gate+Reasoning=final infernoid hits. Now they'll have to run sheet like card trooper

 

Rejuv-dunno if it will be enough for blue eyes

 

GUB: 1=3

Bandit: Solemn Notice made it sheet

MALI: FINALLY, ban chain make beatrice more live? I can get behind this

Teus is matching TCG

Control and Moon getting 3'd after being in basically every side deck shocks me, but guess they want more variation

Sarc is trash

Allure to 3 shocks me, but monarch ftk is gone I suppose. Tele DAD was so close to being a thing

 

Shrine is great for Blue Eyes

 

Games @3..knew Construct bae wasn't gonna come back

 

and finally CCV is irrelevant now that BA got all it's targets hammered in the knee

[Hexanort]

BEST....BANLIST....EVER

 

Monkeyboard....Check, Pantheism...Check, E-Tele...Check, Reasoning....Check

 

they hit everything i wanted to get hit ^^....well time to play with this list (after ygopro updated it)

It's a good banlist. Not sure if Chain or Monkey were good bans however

[Βyakuya]

Holy sheet they went balls off the wall on this banlist. It's the OCG's version of killing everything...though somethings might not seem too appreciable.

 

Decks I predict having an impact after the list:

-Super Quantums 

-Majespecter

-Neutered Dracopal

-Shaddoll

-Ritual BA

-Blue-Eyes/Felgrand

-Merlantean

-Phantom Knight/BA/Speedroid

-D/D

Added Nekroz, I can see Raid Raptors being good too. I somehow doubt Dracopals will be good anymore. Magicans, Pals, Mages, and Dracos all got gutted

[The Amazing Avian]

Ouch. I hope we don't get 1 Pantheism. That hurts.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Ouch. I hope we don't get 1 Pantheism. That hurts.

Pot of Greed was the last +1 draw card by itself to exist mate. The card was unhealthy af. They should have limited stormforth as well tbh

[vla1ne]

This list... If TCG follows suit, then my infernoids and monarchs are gonna have a bit of a harder time in matches. but really, i can't criticize it, It's the kind of list that people hope the TCG would one day adopt. i'm picking up a couple super rejuvenation's while they're still low, just in case. and i've already got 2 thousand eyes ready just in case he ever came off (that day might come son!)

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Just Realized...Sinister Shadow Games is STILL at 2

 

Geddon moving to 2 was a pipe dream

 

No excuse for MoF or Goyo yet again

[Dragulas]

Forbidden:
Performapal Monkeyboard: I really like how Pepe, Dracopals worked, but that doesnt change the fact that i despise pendulums, for all i care, buuurn!

Lavalval Chain: I did cry and complain its banning in TCG, time gave Komoney the reason with this card, still dont know how this was abused OCG.
Life Equalizer: f*** FTKs, though they could hit magical explosion too, and RML still free to find a new FTK eventually.

Newly Limited:
Sangan: Errated, could come back without it though
Thousand-Eyes Restrict: After all this years, finally
Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss: A Semi-limit was fine, this kills BA because of the other hits
Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss
Performapal Skullcrobat Joker: Don like to compare cards but stratos si limited/banned for a reason
Ignister Prominence, the Blasting Dracoslayer: And they dont even have kozmo, too good and fair hit
Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer: LOOOOL, Seriously the card was a potential +4, destroying pendulums is never neg. 
Draco Face-Off: They really want to slay the slayers
Wavering Eyes: About time
Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer: With ignister and face off limited i think this wasnt necesarry, still better safe than sorry
Mask Change Second: Dark law tech hate? (i dont follow the ocg that much, so i asume thats the reason)
Tour Guide from the Underworld: To match the TCG list, and fair hit to their main engine
Emergency Teleport: Again they dont even have kozmo so is Quantum morachs to good to make this limit worthy or im missing something?
Domain of the True Monarchs: Dont know if it was the right hit but still, f*** monarchs
Pantheism of the Monarchs: Again f*** monarchs and f*** one of the dumbest cards i ve ever seen
Pendulum Call: Wisdom eye is limited, but with all the previous hits i guess konami realized they boosted pendulums too much...or they will just release something worst
Reasoning /Monster Gate: I asume left arm offering have something to do

Newly Semi-Limited:
Super Rejuvenation: Rulers have been gone for almost (if not already) a year, great boost or tech for felgrand blue-eyes

Unlimited:
Glow-Up Bulb
Kuribandit
Destiny Hero – Malicious
Mermail Abyssteus
Mind Control/Book of Moon: As for the released cards only this 2 caught my attention, i dont think someone will waist side space on 3 of these though
Gold Sarcophagus
Allure of Darkness
Dragon Shrine
Crush Card Virus

[vla1ne]

mind control is the only card on the entire list that might be a miss imo. i know you can't swing with the monster you take, but there's a lot of other things that you can do with them, and it still makes room for your other monsters to swing. not sure if it'll mean anything in the long run, but it'll be interesting to keep an eye out for.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

MC2 is a staple in every BA deck and basically every Phantom Knight deck.

 

Law Beatrice is the OCG opening version of Double Dante set Firelake

[The Amazing Avian]

Pot of Greed was the last +1 draw card by itself to exist mate. The card was unhealthy af. They should have limited stormforth as well tbh

It's more like Destiny Draw with a potential search than a pot. The thing with hitting this is it makes bricks more consistent. Then again, OCG has always figured out the weird sheet so they can make it work.

People are just playing the 15 ED version. Also Hip Hippo dude for the engine. They got triple allure now. They need to adapt is all

[Lizardonx]

Pepe needed dragon ruler level hits to finally put down.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Pepe needed dragon ruler level hits to finally put down.

Dragon Rulers got spread out over 3-4 lists. The last time Konami went this agressive on a deck was after Star Seraph Shaddolls

 

Konami's Shaddoll hate is clear as funk here. No relaxations on it haha.

 

No dragonfly shocks me too, but maybe now Dino Rabbit can make a come back?

[Kaiji]

I think Pendulum is still most likely the best deck, the most significant hit is Draco Face-off but the deck still has access to Rescue Hamster/Unexpected Dai for Angel Trumpeter even at least compared to Monarch's lacking dominion lock and BA having their damage output severely reduced (and removal of Dark Law as a threat).

[VCR_CAT]

Banned Cards

Wow, murdering that Monkey Board where it stands. Life Equalizer probably had to go. RIP Chain.

 

Limited Cards

Sangan's probably going to come back at more than 1 eventually. TER long overdue. RIP Burning Abyss. Skullcrobat joins his TCG friends. Ignister REALLY needed that hit. Pendulum Sorcerer too. Draco Face-Off maybe not. Finally smartened up on Wavering Eyes. Luster as expected. Mask Change II as not expected. TGU as expected. E-Tele as not expected; and more-so because it's used more in the TCG right now than it is in the OCG, but I guess this was a Monarch hit more than anything. Speaking of Monarch hits; RIP. Pendulum Call feels maybe a little extreme; especially when Wisdom Eye wasn't brought back. Reasoning/Gate as expected.

 

Semi-Limited Cards

push dem Dragons!!

 

Unlimited Cards

Yup, Yup, Yup, Sure, Ummm, Wait, Hold On, What are you doing, WAIT, STOP!!

Maybe canibalize another deck? Like maybe Dinomist? The problem now is the pals (assuming that's what you mean th percent pendulums) don't have much to offer anyone. I see hamster being good, but I don't see pals being so, especially not with the finally punch of Monkey to 0

Lavaval chain is really sad. Now I can't even make an argument in TCG that OCG has it. Synchro heroes have my attention now though. 3 Mali, Triple allure. I also see a resurgence of DAEU decks, tellers, dolls, Kroz, and Qli won't be bad at all. This might be pushing it, but maybe even some of the 2012 quartet will return. CD/Hieratics got some power spells back. WU are at full force. Dino Rabbit got Sangan back. Inzektors :/

What's wrong with Gold Sarc and Shrine? Shiranui and Blue Eyes are manageable decks. BA lost both their major CCV targets. I'd be suprised if they still run the standard 2 pre list, let alone 3

Gold Sarc and Shrine were more or less just adding to the joke. Crush Card isn't a card that I'm terribly comfortable coming back in full-time. I'm not sure if the main deck I'm thinking of will truly hit meta (D/D) but I do know that they can make a tidy use of CCV, and CCV itself can win a duel. Book of Moon is fine; but it's Mind Control that we'll see about. With Synchros, Xyz's, and soon Metalphosis, it's not gonna be hard for a deck to steal a monster with Mind Control and use it as a mat for something for easy peasy removal. Allure of Darkness, though... that's some instant draw power for all decks DARK.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Infernoids can troop dupe

 

Speaking of duplication, mind control + cyber Vally dupe :)

 

Only deck that ran allure at 2 was Shaddolls, monarchs and BA might have to now, but we'll

see. OCG phantom Knights gonna be lit af

遊戯王OCGにおいては過去に発売された全てのカードが使用可能であり、今後も新しいカード・商品が追加さ れていく、というゲームの環境下において慎重に検討しております。

また、検討の際には、世界中のプレイヤーが遊んでいる事も十分に考慮に入れた上で行われます。

適用される「禁止・制限・準制限カード」は基本的に以下の観点から選定していますが、恒久的なものではあり ません。

 

ゲームバランスを維持し、遊戯王OCG全体の活性化を促すプレイ環境を作り出す事

デッキの選択肢やプレーの幅を広げる事

デュエルの駆け引きの要素が激減するようなカード・コンボへの一定の規制

プレイヤーが一方的に有利になる状況を作り出すカードへの一定の規制

現状の環境下ではプレイヤーが対処・対策がしづらいカードについての一定の規制

デュエルの進行に支障をきたすようなカードへの一定の規制

大会での使用を考慮した際に、規制をかけるべきと判断されるカードへの規制

 

if you don't mind my possible ****ty translation

Banlists are created with the following in mind

 

1. Game balance

2. Promote diversity

3. Reduce impact of combos that determine the direction of the duel

4. Cards that are too advantageous to a player during a specific situation (such as going first)

5. Cards that hinders the progression of duels too much (i guess Domain in this particular case)

6. Cards that affect the flow/rule of the game (Victory Dragon)

 

Essentially, scaling back both combo power, as well as things that hinders combos from going off. The goal is to develop the game in a long-term, sustainable method.

 

btw Konami actually said this on the same page

 

今後も新しいカード・商品が追加されていく、というゲームの環境下において慎重に検討しており ます

 

translation+ paragra phase "we'll be more careful about releasing new things in the future" (implying that they won't release broken things as much and possibly having slower power creep).

 

How much you want to believe them is up to you though, but at least that announcement was made.
