Cards that TRULY Deserve the Ban List~ KuroKarasu

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh!, these things would ALREADY be banned.

Warning: Chaos and Jinzo fans, stay FAR, FAR AWAY.

This is a list I made of all the cards that TRULY deserve the banlist. Some are already ON the banlist, but the majority need to be banned PRONTO.

10. Imperial Order- Why's this #10? You can get a free Magic Jammer with a Snake in hand, too, after all!  However, Magic Jammer won't stop you from playing Magics in excess. Therefore, this was a wise ban; Magic Counter (Spell Counter) decks, rejoice.

9. Change of Heart- Control an enemy Monster. Now, you do whatever you want with it. The most common use is Tributing; it's like Monster destruction, that way. Also, no cost! Enough said.

8. Tribe-Infecting Virus- Whoever says that this thing isn't broken probably has a cookie-cutter deck. They know not that themed decks were one of the reasons that Konami created the banlist.

7. Dark Magician of Chaos- Great stats, AND you reuse a Magic? Oh, and what's this, it ALSO removes stuff from the game? Broken. Stick with Magician of Faith once this thing is banned.

6. Yatagarasu- Now, why #6 instead of #1? It's mostly OTHER cards that make Yata feared. Unless your opponent has an entirely cleared field, the bird can't attack to use its effect. Without its effect, it only has 200/100 stats, and should not be seen in ATK unless it's going to attack. It's also very monotonous to be on EITHER end of a Yata Lock.

5. Android Psycho Shocker (Jinzo) - Good stats, and an effect that can be made only to your opponent via the Psychic Hemlet thing. SURELY it will be banned because of the Black Flame Dragon of Horus, which negates Magic cards.

4. Harpy's Feather Sweep- Sweep away Mirror Force and Cylinder, but Waboku still goes through. Besides this, as long as you have a Monster, you can block a direct attack. There's plenty of M/T removal to go around besides this, so you can just MST stuff to your heart's content once this is banned. I do, however, pity the Harpy Lady fans out there; perhaps it will be more Harpy-oriented should the folks at Konami decide to reprint this card.

3. Thunderbolt (Raigeki)- Nukes EVERY Monster on your opponent's side of the field. If they had limited it to face-up Monsters, this card may not have been banned. As it stands, Penguin Soldier will die without an effect should it be zapped by the Thunderbolt. TOO broken.

2. Chaos Soldier (Envoy version)- 3000/2500, without even wasting your once-per-turn summon. Why is this less worthy of a ban than CED, you ask? The answer is simple: It LIVES during the Battle Phase! This leaves it susceptible to Ring of Destruction, Mirror Force, and Moon Warrior Girl, a L6 Monster that gains 1000 ATK against Light Monsters (base ATK: 2100). Also, since you can't go with priority using this, Bottomless Trap Hole kills it for good.

1. Chaos Emperor Dragon- TOO broken. Bar the Yata combo, it has 3000/2500 stats to deal with, and that means that it'll be hard to destroy by battle. However, most people will just use it for the effect, dealing major DD, and not even go into the Battle Phase. Also, there's no easy counter for it like Chaos Soldier has.

Well, there are the cards that DESERVE the banlist. Not all cards on the Jap banlist, IMO, were worth putting there (like the Pods, for instance). E-mail me at ZenSuicune@aol.com if you have comments and such. PLEASE do not IM me without giving me your SN first, and no chatspeak! Is that too much to ask?
