Max Darkness Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Everyone, the fact "Call of the Haunted" is Forbidden in "Stardust Accelerator" and "Monster Reborn" is Limited is no mistake. The March 2009 Banlist banned "Call of the Haunted" and Limited "Monster Reborn". And as for the new ban-list, Konami have messed up...again To start with, "Rescue Cat", "Substitoad" and "Heavy Storm" have all been banned. A good start. However, what isn't so good is that "Brain Control" is now Forbidden. In the Limited lists, "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is the newest addition monster-wise. Spells include "Black Whirlwind" and "Infernity Launcher" while "Royal Oppression" is taken from Semi-Limited to Limited. If anyone wanted any more evidence Konami doesn't want anyone interferring with Synchro Summons, then "Royal Oppression's" Limiting is another case-book. What I'm not so sure about is the re-appearance of two cards from the beginning of YuGiOh. "Dark Hole" and "Monster Reborn" are both now legal again. Now, although this means "White Hole" and "Call of the Darkness" have a use again, it's worrying. "Heavy Storm" was seen as too powerful and "Brain Control" to cheap, yet a monster-nuke is allowed while Spell and Trap-destruction and monster control is not. And don't get me started on the vices of "Monster Reborn". One "Mirror Force" and you have your opponent's monster by your Main Phase 2. Or if one of yours was blown away during your Battle Phase, you can instantly get it back. Moving onto Semi-Limited, "Chaos Sorcerer" is freed from Limited, which I suppose is a good thing, despite it's inherent strength. "Snipe Hunter's" Semi-Limiting is not a good idea however. It is broken; a Level 4 DARK Fiend searchable by "Sangan" capable of destroying absolutely anything on the field with a 66% chance of success. And now you can have 2 of them in your Deck... Reading the list, you get the sneaking suspicion Konami wants to fuse the oldest and newest aspects of YuGiOh together; although in this case, it seems more like mashing them together with a hammer and swearing at it for a bit. I say this because alongside "Dark Hole" and "Monster Reborn", "Mystical Space Typhoon" is being Semi-Limited. Why? It's ability to be Set and instantly rid your opponent's monster of that needed Equip Spell or "Gravity Bind" Trap warrents Limiting. And alongside "M.S.T."; "Magic Cylinder", one of the first cards to be quickly Limited is being raised to two. That card needs to be Limited, simply because it can wipe out your opponent's Life Points even if you have only that card. Going to Unlimited, that desire to bring back what was is reinforced further by "Cyber Dragon's" new Unlimited status. Say hello once again to the "Cyber DAD" Decks. Even with a Limited "Dark Armed Dragon", a trio of "Cyber Dragons", along with "Proto-Cyber Dragon" and all the other monsters that can imitate the card means it's now even easier to summon all the "Cyber Dragon" fusions... "Royal Decree" is now three-a-piece and "Treeborn Frog" returns. "Treeborn Frog" is a problem in today's meta, since it's a self-reviving extra Level for a Synchro Summon, but you do have to have an empty field to use it, so perhaps it is balanced, if it were Limited. Now that's it's Unlimited, it's three Levels. Suddenly, "Junk Synchron" can make a "Stardust Dragon" rather more easily... "United We Stand" is Unlimited once again, which I am aware is an OCG experiment, but bodes badly for when the "Varion" Archetype crosses over to the TCG. An Archetype designed to search for and use Equip Spells, and there's a trio of 800 ATK and DEF-per-monster cards in your Deck... But the real insult to players is that "Black Rose Dragon" is now Unlimited. It was Limited, and now they've seen fit to give us a trio of them. When did its broken-ness decrease so much that it's allowed to be Unlimited? Of course, though, it's still as overpowered, but Konami want us to only ever use Synchros and forget Effect Monsters and Fusions ever existed. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel...sort of. If "Cyber Dragon" and other previously-Limited cards are making the jump to Unlimited status, "Gladiator Beast Bestari" might make the same leap, finally making "Gladiator Beast" Decks competitive again. Maybe. But Konami doesn't like non-anime-featured Archetypes, so it's a vain hope at best. So after all this, it's a step backwards to the early days of YuGiOh, with broken field-nukers and incredibly overpowered Spells, and almost nothing to combat them. But what do I know? I'm just a duelist after all, so it's not as if my opinion matters for anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Darkness Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 @ Whamo: What purpose does "Simorgh" fulfill in a Counter Fairy Deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSDelano Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 what tier is Quickdraw decks? because my scraps just beat a Quickdraw deck that even spammed the de synchro n draw guys thing. downloaded YVD and it confuses me. in order to get a duel i have to know another plays IP or username. However the only way to get a persons username is to use the chat. But to use the chat you have to resigter for the chat, but i can't resigter for chat as the it down for some reason making it impossible to register for the chat at this moment ugh I just realized how broken Scrap Dragon is XD especially with the scrap loop thing i have. Also scrap beast and goblin's effect can get the Scrap dragon in your grave back into your deck B) wow still have not lost a match today with scraps just beat a Stardust/AM deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 @Max: Even though reading it all, was quite a job. I now understand that Konami has traded its original Ban list makers with typing monkeys.So don't expect me dueling any time during the broken Ban List.

Max Darkness Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 @ Anyone: A small set of cards of mine that seem to have been received well. (To take your minds off the absymal ban-list) Click here. And how is everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Darkness Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Nice monsters Max, well tbh i'm quite bored. It's raining again, and YCM is very unactiva atm. It's very sunny where I am, and it's getting hotter. Doing pretty well liking the scrap archtype alot. YCM is inactivate lot of time :/ i can be sitting waiting for a day or so just for someone to post in the rp i am in Do you also get the feeling that the "Scrap" Archetype is what happened when Konami tried to redo the "Ancient Gear" and "Cyber Dragon" Archetypes, but changed their mind towards the end of the project? At the moment, I'm entertaining myself by buying 10p ($0.12) cards on Amazon, some of which I've never heard of. Like "Dimension Distortion"; which is an RFP "Monster Reborn". Now, instead of "Mirror Force" + "Monster Reborn"; it's "Macro Cosmos" + "Dimensional Prison" + "Dimension Distortion". Yes for RFP Decks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSDelano Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Not really. But i like scraps more than those 2. Also scraps work differently than cyber and AGs. Though the fact they are not machines is downer but i think thats konami's way of saying No MachineScraps for you XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexadin Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 @Max: Lol, you didn't already had one? I have like 3. All from boosters back in the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 @ Lex: I got rid of my old collection a long time ago and forgot about most of the cards in it. I'm currently rebuilding it. @ Delano: I said that because you've got the "Scrap Beast", "Scrap Soldier", "Scrap Dragon" and "Scrap Twin Dragon"; all of which seem to resemble "Ancient Gear" monsters (first two) with the same names and the last two have similarities to "Cyber End Dragon" (with the two other heads replaced by wings) and "Cyber Twin Dragon". They could be the bridging point between the two archetypes. As in, long ago, the "Ancient Gears" reigned supreme, before being forgotten and regressing to "Scrap" (and losing their ability to fuse together, replacing it with self-revival and Synchro-ing), then finally evolving up to the "Cyber" Archetypes and regaining their Fusion prowess. Seems fitting I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Darkness Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 who knows what konami was thinking besides money Not much. That's why we exist. To fill in the gaps left by Konami through the magic of fan-fiction. Ah, I could never get rid of mine. They are everything I have. I never had many, so they were no real loss. I know that there wasn't anything of any real value in it. But now I have a Secret Rare "Ice Master" worth £60 ($90), which I bought for £5 ($7.50).

Lexadin Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Nice, unfortunatly I never had a lot of Rare (with rare I don't mean "Rare" as a YGO rarity, but rather being well... Rare) Cards. I just had a lot. My brother on the other hand had like 1 Rare card every 3 packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 My luck seems to have improved over the years since when I recently opened a "Gladiator's Assault" booster, I found both "Gladiator Beast Gaiodiaz" (Rare) and "Test Tiger" (Ultra Rare).

Lexadin Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Never had a lot of luck myself. The only reason why I don't suck in dueling is becouse I'm better then the comp in Deck making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
