Dark Paladin's Yu-Gi-Oh! Dimension
The New Ban List is Out--Dark Paladin's Final Thought
9.26.05

Hello again to Pojo and Yugioh fans one and all! I come to you today with something that effects every Yugioh player in the United States.

That would be the circulation of the new Banned List. I'm going to go over the changes that have been made, and give some comments as to how I feel about this.

Newly Banned:

NEW! - Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Delinquent Duo, Graceful Charity, Mirror Force, Pot of Greed, Ring of Destruction, Sinister Serpent, Tribe-Infecting Virus

BLS--no comment needed
Delinquent Duo--again, no comment needed, Confiscation returned, enough said Graceful Charity/Pot of Greed--I don't really understand the reason of eliminating BOTH of our draw cards, even with Jar of Avarice coming.
We still have Reckless Greed and Jar of Greed though.
Mirror Force--Cycles with each list, whether on or off, so I'm impartial.
Ring of Destruction--While Ring can be a game ending card, it wasn't completely necessary, but I'll live.
Sinister Serpant/Tribe Infecting Virus--Like with Graceful and Pot, I don't think banning BOTH Tribe and Sinister was necessary. I'm glad Tribe is gone, but Sinisters playability would have decreased alone.

Newly Restricted:

NEW! - Book of Moon, Book of Taiyou, Confiscation, Dark Hole, Exchange of the Spirit, Limiter Removal, Magician of Faith, Metamorphosis, Nobleman of Crossout, Scapegoat, Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Tsukuyomi, Night Assailant

Book of Moon--like with BLS, no comment needed Book of Taiyou--this was unexpected, but we'll see if it was smart Confiscation--Delinquent Duo's replacement, I understand Dark Hole--WHY JUST WHY DID THEY BRING SUCH A BROKEN CARD BACK!?!?
Exchange of the Spirit--Like Phoenix, this is Restricted before it was released, and with good cause. Wait until you use it or it owns you, and you'll know why.
Limiter Removal--This really is too bad, as Machine decks really could shine, and with one Magician of Faith, ouch, just ouch.
Magician of Faith--Banning Graceful and Pot, and limiting Scapegoat would have left MoF at three fine.
Metamorphosis--REALLY hurts morph decks obviously, and with Thousand Eye Restrict at one, both weren't necessary Nobleman of Crossout--I understand, and I am happy!
Scapegoat--Excellent, I am SO happy.
Thousand Eye Restrict--See Metamorphosis Tsukuyomi--Two would have been fine since BLS finally met his end.
Tsuku will still be quite powerful though.
Night Assailant--I don't really get this one, aside from one can fetch the other as it was semi-restricted.

Well, those are my thoughts, I'd like your feedback. Feel free to e-mail me @ tsearcy@lssu.edu

You stay classy, Planet Earth :)
