Graceful Charity SDP-040

Graceful Charity
Normal Spell

Draw 3 cards from your Deck, then discard any 2 cards from your hand.

Many were surprised at why this card got banned while "Pot of Greed" wasn't. After all, it's essentially a 1 to 1 thing... you draw 3 cards at the cost of 3 cards (the 2 you discard and this one). Well, that effect was the main reason why. "Graceful Charity" is a huge deck thinner not to mention it gives you the chance to either dump unwanted cards or dump cards you want in the Graveyard for a quick reborn or for Chaos/Fiend food. If you had to discard 2 of the 3 you drew it wouldn't be quite so useful. But since you can discard any 2, it can combo well with "Thunder Dragon" (say you discarded 1 already to get 2 in your hand... draw 3 and drop these 2) and "Night Assailant" (draw 3, discard 2 "Night Assailant" and get them both back by their effect or 2 other FLIP monsters so you don't lost any card advantage).

Will it come off the banned list? Maybe. A lot will depend on what else comes and goes. While not as strong as some of the other banned cards, it still is a very good card that will likely show back up in everyone's deck since it is almost never a bad draw.

Coming soon... everyone's worst nightmare.

Well I personally have a feeling they'll bann Pot and unban this.
 
I can see why they put this card on the ban list. Its merits the slot even if not as much the other ban cards. Draw three cards and discard two. Many ways to abuse that. Chaos and fiend being first one to come to mind. Dump monsters into the graveyard for Chaos/ Necrofear/ gilfer effect. One of the reason why I like Night assailant. This perfect way to keep all three cards. In a way its like Painful choice, only its with just the next three cards that come from the deck and you're the one chosing who gets to go the graveyard.
 
also, they may have put graceful charity on the ban list just so that people could keep playing continuously, cuz if someone played graceful charity, and their opponent stopped it with null and void, AND they had to drop 2 more cards (I think that's how it goes), I would have to stop playing for a minute to laugh (sorry) at the poor sap who just lost 5 cards

actually, i heard that too. someone told me that they heard that they will unban this and ban pot, just as Xeno said. i was wondering if it was true, and Xeno is usually right about stuff, so yeah. it is a good card nevertheless, and, now, exodia decks will even want to discard their pieces because of cards like monster reincarnation, dark factory, and that one feather thing... from FET.

(do you realize most banned cards have something to do with exodia? sangan, witch, this, etc... (to an extent))
 
They won't ban Pot of Greed. Pot doesn't take up a space in people's decks. It can be slapped on top of any deck.

Pot of Greed in no way gives people the "same deck."

And Graceful Charity does? All the arguements you used, can be used for Graceful Charity as well. Only Graceful Charity has a cost.
 
They won't ban Pot of greed... at least not in this upcoming list anyway. They would be screwing themselves over because of the two new structure decks. Why Pot in both of them if they were planning on putting it on the forbidden list? It doesn't make sense. Let's give these guys some credit when it comes to marketing. I'm sure any card you see in Dragons Roar or Zombie Madness is NOT going to be on the forbidden list (or be moved from semi-limited to limited) any time soon and last time I checked that included Pot of Greed.
