Hello again to Pojo and Yugioh
fans one and all! Before I start with today's results, I
must admit I made a mistake in my article about the upcoming
Ban List. I wanted Cyber Dragon to be semi-restricted, not
restricted. My reasoning: Cyber Dragon at 2 limits his
power, but doesn't kill the deck for those who actually play
it. Also, short of Cyber Stien, with only 1 Cyber Dragon,
you couldn't play Cyber End Dragon.
Now, here are the 10 finalists of Round 1. Keep full well in
mind these are in NO particular order.

Well, those are the ten finalists. Now, before we continue,
I must give a HUGE thank you to The Dungeon Master for his

on these cards. Now, the rules for this round.
1) Anyone may vote for any card. Yes, this means that even
YOU can vote for YOUR OWN CARD.
2) Each person is only allowed ONE VOTE. Please, please,

will have your original vote being withdrawn.
3) If one of your cards was selected as a top 10 round 1
finalists, you MUST submit a picute. You must also make the

don't care, but a picture is now required. IF YOU ALL READY
SENT A PICTURE IN, YOU DO NOT NEED ANOTHER.

12:00 am midnite on Wednesday March 1st (Eastern Standard
