Trading Card Game Tips from fans
February 2008 ThatGuy's Shot: Banlist Thoughts - That Guy
Welcome back
for round 5 of ThatGuy's Shot! Been awhile, I
know. But football season is over and I finally
caught myself up with school and what not. Now
down to business.
In the words of Charles Barkley, "It's turrible." Not that bad, but not the best since I came back in to this game. Why? Dumb moves, pointless moves, good moves, weird moves. Let's see. Restricted Breaker the Magical Warrior I do not understand this one at all. And the lone one I don't. They say he's a free +1 but with Book of Moon at 2, ECon still at 3, Torrential still here, and many other chainable spells/traps, Breaker's so called +1 is a rare +1 indeed. And say he does hit it. Well then you've got a very tough Spellcaster to face...NOT! Honestly, he is not ban worthy. Magician of Faith Just for bringing MSE to 2 and Reborn to 1, they will reban MoF. Sure enough that is what they did. Say bye to Apprentice Monarch...or whatever there was of it. MoF is likely a dangerous card now, in Konami's/UDE's eyes. Call of the Haunted With Reborn back, this card needed to go, and yes, over Premature Burial, why? Player A "I play Heavy Storm" Player B "I chain Call to bring back Jinzo (he will live), Disk Commander (free draw 2), Sangan (good fetch), etc. That is why it needs to go. Potentially more of a threat than Reborn itself. Limited Raiza the Storm Monarch All I have to say is, "Best move on the list." No more I bounce your Marshy. Player B sets it back. Player A Frogs for Raiza and bounces yet again for 4800. Tack that on to the 2400 and now Prema and Brain are out of question. Raiza's constant game-changing plays and luck sack maneuvers were getting out of hand and needed the ban. Anyone who says, "Use a counter," is a freakin idiot. I do not stack so I'm not gonna draw that 3/35 Rug when I need it. Go ahead, replace it with Zaborg and Thesty, I can assure you it will not be the same. Monster Reborn Not as bad a move as people think. Out of this, Prema, and Call, I would ban Call, too. Why? Becuase it is a trap, and in most cases, traps are better than normal spells due to their speed. Also, many people do not play DMoC and Disk, so the common monsters reborned will be just for beatstick and tribute fodder. Advanced Ritual Art Bad. My Shinato deck falls due to this, and it was pretty good. Why not just ban Demise and semi Zorc? That would be just as good. And Swing Demise is still alive and well. The Senju or Manju that retrieves it is 1 of the 2 level 4s needed. An Insect Knight or Neo Bug could be in your hand as well, not to mention Metal Armored Bugs and Doom Dozers that all compliment Trade-In. Nobleman of Crossout In my opinion, whatever. Many people didn't even use 2 anyway, and Shield Crush may be better this format because it doesn't remove. Ojama Trio Though a surprising move (to me), not a bad move. This stops the frequent locks of chain burn and other decks, along with the Just Desserts combo. Good enough move, but at 2 would be just as fine, 3 would be just as fine for me. Semi-Restricted Book of Moon Would have been better in Demise Era. Still a useful card that is underlooked. Maybe this caught some attention? I dunno, I'm gonna keep mine at 1. Cyber Dragon They wanted to stop its annoyingness but keep it to where you could still use Cyber Twin. That's why it is at 2. BUT, they should have just changed the text to normal summon instead of special summon. If they can't, then 2 is fine, 3 is the same. Foolish Burial This should be at 1, Armageddon Knight 2. Foolish at 2 doesn't solve much. It just says, "Since smart people play it at 2 anyways, we are going to make it illegal to be dumb." Light and Darkness Dragon See the quote segment above. Other then that...no, there isn't much more. Mage Power Like Book of Moon, get attention? And spinning equips aint bad, just have another monster in hand to use it with or equip it back if your monster wasn't destroyed. But as for Mage at 2, kind of useless. Normally in equip decks, it is 1 and 1 with Mage and United. Magical Stone Excavation Another pointless move. No one even uses this (rare). I might use one, but I run a deck built for it. At 1 and at 2, and even at 3 are no different. Let's discard 6 cards and 3 along with MSE for 3 spells! No, bad. Necroface Good move. Aside from Book of Moon, the only other good move in the semi portion. Unrestricted Apprentice Magician Like we were going to use 3? And with MoF gone, less diversity in targets. 2 Seers and a Old Vin, 2 Old and a Seer, or hardcore 2 each. But no matter what, only need 2 Apprentice. Creature Swap Zombies may benefit, but it really doesn't matter. 2 was sufficient, and many decks which use Swap will keep it at 2. Gadgets All they did was cycle. No other comment. Jinzo Stop Magical Explosion? I don't know, but that's the only thing I see good for this move. And trap control decks, as well as Spell Canceler and Jinzo are now even for an evil tandem. Pot of Avarice NO ONE WILL RUN THIS IN THREES. This format is too fast for there to be 5 monsters in your grave 3 different times. And knowing this will show up in the first 6 and will be dead for awhile. Pointless move, they want to sell it. Reckless Greed I can just see someone combining 3 of these with a couple of Legacies and Offerings to the Doomed for a nice kill. This may see play. And Exodia may be better. Cards that should have been tampered with or were placed wrongly Allure of Darkness - At least put it at 2, 1 wouldn't hurt either. Foolish Burial - 1 was the best choice Armageddon Knight - Should be at 2. The Beginning of the End - If they didn't touch the above, why keep this at 3? Advanced Ritual Art - Should be at 3 Demise, King of Armageddon - Should be at 1 Breaker, the Magical Warrior - It was fine at 1. That's all I can think of right now. No, I don't think DAD needs a ban. So thanks for stopping by. My contact info remains the same.
