 Trading Card Game Tips from fans

 

Konami again refuses to give us our own list... and the game suffers-- Chaosmech

Hey everyone, it's Chaosmech again.
I know that you're thinking "OMG, I wish this guy would quit b**ching about the banlist and move on." But this time, they've really outdone themselves.
Remember last list, when they banned Time Seal b/c of the Victory Dragon lock decks?
guess what Konami? We don't have Victory Dragon. Everyone in America has no clue why Time seal is banned and Mask of Darkness is restricted. And they didn't even get rid of the problem. They got rid of the combo. Sure, Time
Seal+Tsukuyomi+Mask of Darkness is a wicked combo. But except for
Seal+Tsukuyomi+Tsukuyomi,

none of them is good enough on its own to warrant banning. Victory Dragon is

the reason... get rid of it.
You have a choice, Konami. Either give us our own list to fix our own metagame... or you give us all the cards you have. Now. You can't insist that the world be united under one banlist when the world isn't united under

one cardlist!!! That automatically gives Japanese players an advantage. Say the World Championship comes, and it's America's best player against Japan's

best player. So the Japanese player breaks out a Victory Dragon, and the American player's like, WTF??? So the Japanese player wins the match in the first duel, thereby eliminating America's chance for dominance. Victory Dragon was the problem, not Time Seal.
And this list? I agree, Sorcerer was powerful. But it's nowhere near banning! So they want a diversified game? Guess what? They just eliminated a

whole decktype, and many offspins thereof. Doesn't sound diversified to me.
And as for breaking up the Cookie Cutter... ban Cyber Dragon! I know, Cyber Dragon is even less powerful than Sorcerer, but it's not so much the individual power as the combo power. And even before the new Chaos Revolution, Warrior Toolbox ran Cyber Dragon in 3's!! in 3's!! In a Warrior Deck! Talk about the most splashed card ever! And this Chimeratech OTK...
don't get me started. That's going to kill the game. It'll be a race to see who can draw Trunade, Future Fusion, and Overload Fusion first. Then it's Game Over.
Either ban/limit Chimeratech, or ban Cyber Dragon. If you ban it, the Chimeratech and the Cyber Dragon fan decks aren't dead... they have Proto.
But it solves the problem of Future Fusion/Overload Fusion/good game. It'll force the OTK players to have a little more skill and a little less luck.
As for Ring coming back... mixed feelings there. I like Ring, don't get me wrong, but with Des Wombat and Barrel Behind the Door, there is no way this should be coming off the banlist. Especially with Book of Moon at only one.
Give us two Deck Devastation Virus... we'll need it for the Gadget Storm up ahead.
In fact, if Konami/UDE gives us that, we may be able to stop the Gadgets from becoming CC. And I'm not sure what they were thinking in un-limiting Lightning Vortex. That's going to be a Gadget Staple, mark my words.
If my banlist were put into effect (I'll be submitting it later), I predict that Gravekeepers with DDV tech would become a top-tier deck. Think about it.
Anyway, I'm done ranting for now, so just watch out for that new article on an improved banlist.
In the meantime, keep it cool,
Chaosmech
