Baneful's Column

Konami decided not to make a definitive end date for the
April 1st 2015 ban list. This has resulted in no July
ban list being in sight. Konami has stated that it
would be easier to release ban lists as needed (when all of
the right information has been gathered) instead of just
predicting what the game would need for the next six.
That would have been understandable had Konami not cashed in
on the Nekroz archetype and create a huge imbalance in the
metagame. ARG, a large Yugioh tournament organization,
has taken it upon themselves to release their own ban list.
This is not an official ban list, obviously, but this is one
that is backed by a sizable organization that is organizing
tournaments which pay out big prize money (one thing that
Konami - unlike Wizards with MTG - has long avoided).
That alone is enough to both motivate and gain the respect
of competitive players.
One reason they made their own list was so that players
would have adequate time to prepare for their event, rather
than possibly being ambushed by an official Konami list a
day or two before the event. Whatever Konami decides
to do now, they're in a dilemma. They will have to compete
against a near-perfect list most people can on-the-whole
agree with which practically balances the entire game.
Part of me sees this as a very practical way a third party
group can help solve disputes. Part of me is also
happy when I see irresponsible people in positions of
authority embarrassed when someone else proposes a better
solution. But on the bright side, this might start a
precedent for numerous tournaments to craft their own
formats to add depth and variety to the game.
If ARG's paying, the people are playing. Ball's in
your court Konami.
