Subject: thoughts on ban list - Vlad
hi im back,
hey evry1 im back and i hope you all enjoyed my last
tip. im back with more overlooked cards that im
expecting to see some play after the ban list and
what it will look like in my opinion. ok so first
the ban list. here are some cards that i seriously
think will go to one per deck automaticaly:
Mobius the Frost Monarch, DDA, Cyber Dragon, Change
of Heart, Pot of Greed, Don Zaloog, RotA, Imperial
Order.
ok so here's my thoughts on why i said these cards
will all be brought down to one. Mobius, DDA, RotA,
and Cyber are all broken beyond reproach. With all
the new options players have discovered since the
ban of pot and change i dont think they will see as
much play or be as broken as before. Don is again
just pure abuse, along with a good 1400 making him
superior to all the othr hand discards (reaper,
phantom thief, white magical hat...) im not so sure
that itl go down to one, i just gave that as a
guess. Most likely it will b down 2 two. Awright i
know by the Imperial Order evry1's probably thinkin
"Wat the @#&% is this dumb$#% thinkin?". Well here
it is. Spells during this meta are tearing the game
apart(dark hole, smashing, snatch steal, swords &
LLAB in stall/burn. I think spell negation should b
beyond just Horus cards during this meta. Onto the
semi limits:
Spirit Reaper, Sacred Pheonix of Nepthis, Sakuretsu
Armor, Widespread Ruin, Smashing Ground, Chaos
Sorceror.
Reaper, saku, widespread, smashing all = BROKEN, but
i dont want to be unfair to the meta so i think 2
would balance it out. Pheonix was never given a fair
shot at its own deck so i think that it should get a
chance to change deck types up a bit. Chaos Sorceror
again OWNS. Especially if MPT starts gettin run over
here like in Japan. I got nothin personal with the
card(I run one myself) its just that its 2 powerful.
Period.
Side Notes: I didnt iclude the forbidden list
because im really not sure about what goes onto that
one. Also i would take Thousand Eyes Restrict of the
list beacause with no scientist and 1 morph, theres
no point to restricting. Also, ceasfire is plain
rediculous to 1 limited. No1 realy runs it and I
realy c no point to it outside of a burn deck. Skill
drain works better for negation and the burn aint
that much. I will also send a second tip this week
featuring overlooked cards that I promised at the
beginning of this article. Again i remind evry1 that
im not sure about this list and its only a vague
outline of wat will probably b showcased in the ban
list.
If you have any comments on anything i've written on
the banlist, you kan reach me at vladghica2@yahoo.com
Untill the next tip,
Peace Out
