New Ban List Aftermath: Searchers

[Machinefreak]

Seeing as how the new ban list has brought back MoF and other such cards (such as Crystal Seer) are out now, what search engines should be used right now?

Gravekeeper's Spy
Sure, GS has high DEF stats and can bring out another spy (or Spear Soldier/Assailant for those who play Gravekeepers). But, with NoC being semi'd, is it such a good idea to run him?

Appretnice Magician/MoF/Crystal Seer/OVM
Well, this new list just did Apprentice a lot of favors, didn't it?

Nimble Momonga/Giant Germ
I think they're still OK.

Any other way searchers the ban list hurt/helped?

Also, is Apprentice Magician the better choice for a searcher than GS?

I would say App Magician for now. I mean, remember, App and OVM are DARK monsters with less then 1000ATK. (i.e. Crush Card Virus for those who can afford it)

I would probably put like 2x GK Spy instead of 3x now. Since Card Trooper is 1x and NoC being 2x, I won't flood the deck with flippers (and definately 2x Deko instead of 3x also)

The safe way to stop NoC is to either don't set monsters at all, or put a variety of Flippers.
