Deck Analysis Announcement:
Wating for the Banned List.

By ~ShineSoldier~

Hey people.
I’ve got a lot of positive feedback on my last three articles and I’m really happy about that. It gives me some sort of boost to keep writing these articles.
However, I have a little announcement to make.
In about 2 weeks from now, the new Banned List will come out. That means there will be new cards on the Forbidden List and new ones on the Restriction List.
Because of this, all decks that I’m creating now, can only be played for about 1.5 week.
And in my opinion, that’s not really worth it.

For example, I’m creating all kinds of decks and most of them contain Dark Hole and about 1-3 Spirit Reapers. These cards are most likely to be Banned (or in Spirit Reaper’s case restricted). You’ll have to take out 3 cards then and replace them with 3 new ones. Then comes the second problem: There are coming cards back. Most likely Pot of Greed OR Graceful Charity. This will mean that you will have to take out some cards to make these fit in.

What I’m trying to say is, that when I would continue creating articles now, they might be useless in 2 weeks and that would be a big waste of time.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be back in 2 weeks for sure, but until then, I think it’s best to not write any articles that involve deck constructions.

Because the only thing the Banned List affects is the deck construction and the Metagame, we can still write other articles that don’t involve this deck building stuff.

That’s why I would like to create a Poll. Here it is:

What kind of articles would you like to read in the meantime?

1. Set Reviews
2. Card Creations
3. In-depth Card Reviews
4. In-depth Decktype looks

My own preference goes to either ‘Card Creations’ or ‘In-depth Card Reviews. However, the choice is up to you.
Please E-Mail me about this, so that I can start creating this new serie of articles. The Poll will close after Wednesday, so please mail quickly.

As a bonus of this article, I will present you the Banned List that MIGHT be used after 1 April 2006. I found it at http://www.upperdeckentertainment.com/yugioh/en/forb_advanced_new.aspx

So you can also take a look at it there.
Here it is:

The Advanced Format will be used at premier events and the World Championship.

That does it for this article.
I know that some of you might think: ‘Why won’t you create decks that use this Banned List?’
Well, that’s because I want to be really sure about this list. I don’t know if this will be the official Banned List, so I’ll just wait til’ April 1st and then I’m going to continue the Deck Analysis Articles.

To give you an idea what to expect after April 1st:

- Amazoness Deck
- Dark Magician Deck
- Elemental Hero Deck
- Armed Dragon Deck
- Horus the Black Flame Dragon Deck
- Harpie Deck
- Light Deck

This’ll be enough for now I think.
I hope you will all ‘vote’ in this poll and I’m looking forward to your mails.
To mail me your votes, opinions or anything else, mail to slam25@hetnet.nl

‘Til next time,
~ShineSoldier~
