Because Gadgets are a pain in the butt when ran in threes? They offer extremely good advantage and guarantee you a monster for next turn. The way they were ran with 3 Smashing Ground, 3 Fissure etc. meant you just attacked your opponent's LP constantly without really worrying about losing them. I shall miss my old Gadget deck :( limiting them to 2 each and 1 Smashing and Fissure makes them a bit harder to abuse. I like this list though, it's very good and gives a lot more decks a chance ^^

I'm happy about this new list for the following cards:

 

Banned: Snatch Steal

Limited: Snipe Hunter, Breaker (Out of Banned!!!!!)

Semi-Limited: Who cares about Semi-Limited?

Off the List: D.D. Assailant

 

I'm mad about the following cards:

 

Banned: Ring of Destruction, Metamorphosis

Limited: Card Trooper

Semi-Limited: Eh, kinda the Gadgets.

Off the List: Nothing much to be mad about.

 

So, all in all, a pretty good list change. But, every time abused cards are Limited/Banned, people find other cards to abuse. But Breaker's back!!!!!!!!! He was one of my favorites until he was Banned. Now he's off the list!!!!!!!!!

 

That was my new Ban List Rant. Thank you for reading.

yeah' date=' my neo spacian deck will stand a chance now. DON'T SAY IT WON'T. with alot of the cards gone, neo spacians are now free to used. :)

plus when the next set comes out, more neo spacian cards will come out. along with the dark e-hero fusions. yh.

A Gemini deck is Bad and will be bad until better support is released. A couple of the Gemini monsters might be used a bit, but it's unlikely atm.

 

Neospacians = Bad (Except Mole which is okay)

 

Treeborn Frog has no grounds to be banned. It's a great card, but takes a good player to play it well.

 

Ring being banned is good. YGO is being made more skill-based now with Snatch and Ring gone.

Yep, definitely. The three big game-winners (RoD, Snatch, and Trooplication, though indirectly) are crippled. The only thing that could truly shut down mainstream OTK after this list is Limiter Removal, and outside Trooplication Limiter's got no reason to get banned. It's fine. OTK's involving Brain Control are also severely hampered, and it's actually a more tactical and strategic list: do you play Brain Control and tribute off for Thestalos, pause until the situation on the board clarifies, until you draw a Raiza, or leave it 'til you can OTK with it? With Confiscation banned Dustshoot limited and Dustshoot/Mind Crush all but curbed, hand control's been hampered too. I really want to play with this new list, it looks a lot more exciting than just topdecking a Snatch.

 

I still wish BoM was at 2. :-)
