The COTD reviews that I regret by Baneful

 

To be honest, I think the "I regret nothing" mantra is a cliche.  Especially when it comes to some of my Card of the Day reviews.

 

There are assessments I've made in the past that I now disagree with.  It's often the case where I underrate/overrate a card and then some other reviewers go in the opposite direction.  And overall the averaged score represents an accurate middle ground.

 

I overrated Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley.  Now I'd give it a 4 (rather than a 5).  Still a great card, but a bit situational. 

 

I was a little (just a little) bit harsh on Mobius the Mega Monarch.  I may have also been a bit harsh on Leo Keeper's traditional ratings.

 

I over-estimated Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force.  None of the rank-ups out there are great.

 

Christian Moss and I have had a little discussion about Jinzo a few weeks ago.  And while I don't think it's a below-average card, I'd say that his assessment of it was more practical than my own.

 

I didn't rate Abyssgunde but would agree with the other reviewers assessments.  Morphing Jar (1) and 2  I did rate a bit low.  I was reviewing them in context of existing outside of "empty jar".

 

And in hindsight, I wouldn't give Cyber Dragon Nova a perfect 5.  It's weak ATK makes it easy to kill in battle (and therefore not get it's effect).

 

So, yeah, I make mistakes.  Oftentimes, when I recieve a card, it is the very first time I had ever seen it and I have to extrapolate.  The majority of my reviews I stand by though.  I've given lots of 1's and 1.5's.  That's just the nature of the game.  Konami doesn't have good quality control.
