Subject: banned/ restricted list rant - sung kim I am here to post the new restriction list. I am a friend of aznpsyduck and lemme say one thing¡¦¡¦ upper deck DOES NOT make the restriction list. Its true people! The game was ALSO NOT MADE BY UPPERDECK! Konami made the game, konami had the restriction list up even before this game CAME TO AMERICA and they will not change it just because some people don¡¯t want to except the fact that now you need more strategy!!!! And another things, rants on beatdowns. Why do people rant on beatdowns? Its not bad!!!! People say beatdowns suck and they use exodia decks? O YEA IMMA PUT DOWN WITCHES AND SANGANS AND STALL TILL I DRAW ALL 5 PIECES LOOK AT MY AWESOME STRATEGY!!! And some people post up that the whole restriction list is to tweak up exodia decks and slow down beatdowns. Jesus christ that is not true!! The restriction list was made because these certain cards are either too powerful, or piss people off enough to make then restricted!! And greater the deck, the bigger the counter. Exodia is easier to get out right now, but later there will be countless numerous cards out to counter it, the next set is labrinth of nightmares, and sure there may be cards to tweak exodia decks. But there will also be EVEN MORE TO COUNTER THEM! And the ouiji board coming out for labrinth is just bad . 5 pieces that spell DEATH. Its just another lame exodia which has counter writtin all over it. The D of the ouiji is a trap and the other 4 are magics, its not gonna be that friggin easy to get 5 MAGIC/ TRAPS ON THE FIELD WIHTOUT GETTING THEM KILL RIGHT THEN AND THEIR!!!!! And about the new structure decks (which arent really new). I have 2 copies of all 4 of the new decks (pegauss, jounochi, yugi, and kaiba) and my advice is DO NOT BUY EM, the Japanese versions are only 20-30 bucks, but the new american version will be around 40-50. Why? BECAUSE UPPERDECK ARE IS GREEDY. they do have great cards, but none of which u really need. Yes Pegasus structure will raise the power of toons by ten fold. But as I said earlier, for every great deck there is a greater counter, I wont spoil those for you right now. The yugi structure is the best, but if u already have a mirror force, and magic jammers, its pointless. The current rituals right now are crab turtle, relinquished, black luster soldier (dark 3000/2500) shinato (light/angel 3300,2800 I think) hell raiser (3200, not sure of defense) zera(dark 2800/2300) war lion (2300,2100) devils mirror (2100,1800) javalin beetle (2450,2550) chakura (2450, 2000) magician of chaos (2800, I 4got defense) fortress whale (2350,2150) and law guaridan (2050, 2500) im pretty sure there are more but Im too lazy to type em. Anyways rituals are strong, but they are really rare and you must also have the magic card in your hand. Rituals arent that great people Any questions, send it to eugenekim88@hotmail.com Note by wartortle32: I had to edit some of this for language. My AIM screen name is eugene1357
