Subject: Universal Banlist-Anteaus

Hello, all you pojoers! It is I, Anteaus, with yet another rousing installment of Anteaus' (insert cool name here)!

Today, I'm here to talk you all about the struggle that the North American Metagame has had against its Asian couterpart. This conflict revolves mostly around the fact that the Asian metagame has a lot more cards than we do, and their banlist is different. Here in North America, we have the standard banlist; however, in Asia, they have a different banlist that we never really get a chance to see. Plus, with their serious advantage over us card-wise, it makes things very difficult for us (the North Americans) to counter that at the World Championships.



I have two proposals:



1) Release all the cards that are unreleased in some countries and not others to all countries around the world, and



2) Standardize the ban/restricted list in all countries to balance out the game and make for an even playing field.



Now, this is the only problem: different regions have different metagames. This is why Upper Deck/Konami should release all the cards that are unreleased in some countries to all the countries abroad, so we all have the same cards at the same time. If this happens, the metagame would be even for all.



"But Anteaus, the metagame in Japan will always be better than in America!"



Not true. See, the only reason that the metagame in Japan is better is because they're smarter than us. It's not that they're better than us...well, at Yu-Gi-Oh! they are. But that's OK, because we're not stupid. We just lack resources that the Japanese and the rest of Asia have, and to compensate, we need their cards. Then, once we have their cards and the banlist is standardized, we will have a fair chance of beating them.



Cheers,

Anteaus
