These are all I know for sure
 
Okay, added them in. Thanks. Anyone know how to spell Dark Scorpion - Chic the Yellow properly so as to enable the auto-linking. lol
 
I have my obvious doubts about this list. However, if it was released in Japan already then it's official. The only card I really hate being banned is Ring of Destruction. It wasn't that hard to get around and why bother banning a card that you can obviously bypass? Book of Mooning the target was a nice tactic against Ring of Destrustion.

Sinister Serpent, that's another surprise to me. I didn't think that the little guy would make it on the ban list. Duo I knew would get thrown back on but instead of my prediction of getting The Forceful Sentry back we got Confiscation instead. Which of course was a better choice in some ways. They banned Graceful Charity because of the obvious reasons of what's in Elemental Energy. They have monsters in that set that thrive off discard so I wasn't surprised when I saw that.

Now I kind of see why Book of Moon was limited but I kind of don't. Who cares of your Morphing Jar gets re-used. The only reason it was limited in the first place was because of Mexico at Worlds.

This might have killed Chaos decks to pretty harshly to the point where they'd have to use Chaos Sorcerer, but at least one of the main stream decks are gone. But what's this? In Elemental Energy you still have a new CC deck! This deck will soon come out as "Dark Realms" decks. (Or whatever the translation says.) They thrive off Discard effects. So cards like Rising Energy are going to get abused. I've already have plans to make one of these decks because I know the sheer annoyance that the Dark Realms monsters can dish out. I was hoping Morphing Jar was going to get banned because of it. I'm at least glad that they're self-aware of the fact Card Destruction would see a ton of play in Dark Realms decks. After all, they thrive off Discard costs.

Trust me when I say this, when people find out some of the more sickening combos with Dark Realms monsters, they'll scream for Chaos to come back. Dark Realms is far more suprerior than Chaos EVER will become. I feel kinda sorry for Traditional players. xD
 
actually...mite be interesting to see more deck types become powerful...ben kai...swordmaster decks...:p ..all that nice underplayed stuff...

Now here's the big question.

Reversal of Worlds (or whatever it is called here).

Will that be restricted upon release? After all it currently is restricted right now in Japan. But we won't get it until after the October 1 list.

Good question... My guess is either that UDE will limit it before its release or let it fly free until April, which would be bad-ish. Then again, Makyura's banned, and he was its power source. Personally, I don't think it needs to be limited, or Makyura to be banned, but that's just me making sense. Or not. However you want to see it.
 
It would seem that abused combos seem to garner extra lockdown when it would be unnecessary. Chick the Yellow being limited when Makyura was banned (now outside of the Makyura combo how many people were planning on running Chick?)

Now Graceful with both Envoys gone, as well as Serpent and only 1 Night Assailant.

So far, the restricted list for traditional and advanced have been exactly the same except for the banned cards.
Players in the non-asian market prefer traditional. (not sure by how much). North America sells almost three times as much as the asian market. Europe sell about 1.5 times as much as Japan.

Therefore expect changes to the restricted list to also account for traditional play; it's too large of a market to ignore.

Although that explains Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow better than Night Assailant's restriction.
 
I don't see it that way. Konami ultimately determines what the Banned/Restrict list is and that's what UDE will have to follow. As for why you would restrict Night Assailant? To get rid of the "free" discards. That's the main reason for banning Sinister Serpent. Now you can't keep looping Night Assailant either. So basically discard effects are going to hurt you some and you have to decide if it's worth it. That's why the only other option left for something you can Recycle (be it very slowly) would be Outstanding Dog Marron.
