One of my greatest joys was using Magician's Circle knowing that I could pretty much guaranty that my opponent had either a Breaker or, better a Magician of Faith that they would have to bring out F/U ATK mode to join my 1900/2000 Whomper. Bummer!!
 
Yeah, this DOES seems like the real OCG banlist.

My Comment.

Why 3x Exiled Force and 3x Injection Fairy Lily? I know Last Will is banned. (For GOOD REASON if those two are unrestricted) But still, it'll make Rat Control too evil... no running 3x Lily is a tad too much, but running 2x Lily is enough for OTK situations.

If you guys are wondering why Dimension Fusion is 1x per deck and no Return, is cause of Chimeratech. Chimeratech decks can only use Dimension Fusion and not RftDD cause of Chimera's effect. The 1x of Giant Trunade/Overload/Dimension Fusion was obviously to kill ChimeraOTK decks.

And yeah, 1x E-Hero Airman makes sense, a 1800ATK Warrior floater and a potential Breaker ability is too broken. Now the ONLY DECK that can actually use E-Hero Airman are E-Hero or D-Hero deck. (i.e. not CC) And Turbo Dasher deck is killed in Japan OCG as well.

And man, with Pot of Greed AND Graceful Charity banned... it'll be hard for draw power. And with Graceful Charity banned, it'll be hard for Dark World to shine as well. (They really need that) Screw that, any deck that have great graveyard effect dies as well. (i.e. my D-Hero DECK. My poor Dasher and Malicious got SEVERLY WEAKENED) And less discard power also weakens Pot of Avarice. (Ya know, MoF Graceful Charity twice, and throw away 4 monsters, and then few turns later Pot of Avarice... Admit it, I know you people did this, including me)

And man, Neo Grand Mole MUST have been doing havoc in Japan in order to get 1x per deck already. (Make sense, as long as it's face-up, it'll bounce ANYTHING and can be annoying meatshield along with hard to destroy since it keep bouncing to your hand)

IMO, no one will run 3x SPoN (i.e. might draw dead cards) But 2x SPoN will be annoying.

I'll be sad to see MoF and Breaker go. IMO, MoF, Breaker and Sangan are staple is all of my decks. But honestly, I can see the reason. Now we have to see the new Meta with Graceful/Breaker/MoF being gone.

And why is Ring of D still 1 per deck?

And Metamorphosis 2x per deck is a right decision. With Stein and TER being banned, this card is no where near broken enough to be 1x anymore.

And yeah, Don't like Snatch Steal being 1x per deck. With Breaker being banned AND Giant Trunade being 1x per deck, it means we'll have alot harder time getting rid of S/T from now on. So Snatch Steal becomes more powerful. This plus gadgets being popular already, Mobius will definately shine better for more solutions of S/T removal. (We lost Breaker, this is big)

BTW, can we still use Chain Strike Burn even if that's 1x per deck? (We still have 3x Accumulated Fortune... And it's usually Secret barrel/Just Desserts that'll do the final blow, although Chain Strike definately helps) We might as well go back to traditional stall/burn, especially since Breaker is banned.
 
...If this List is going to be like ours, my new regular deck will be "My Fifth Gadget Deck", the game needs speed ¬_¬...
 
BTW, people. When we get our banlist, not just these cards, we'll be also get 2 more cards in the list for TCG in March. (pretty much garenteed)

1x Per deck
Crush Card Virus
Magical Stone Excavation

It's 1x per deck in OCG, so it makes sense they'll get listed as well.

But man, now the ONLY "immediate" spell card reuse is just

DMoC
Magical Stone Excavation

Both inferior compared to MoF.

There are "other ways" like

Recycle
The Transmigration Prophecy (STON card)
But still, not as fast.
 
OH HECK YA !!! Skill Drain decks will be on the rise more than ever... 3 exiled force wooot wooot....... Snatch Steal... bow chika bow bow.... who needs Lily when you can beat her down with a 2800 monster.. hehehe
 
It's interesting what kind of deck types will rise/fall because of this new ban list. This list certainly isn't doing Destiny Hero - Dasher decks or Dark World decks any favors. Skill drain decks will certainly be played more, what with really restricted S/T destruction and with up to 3 Exileds in a deck. >.<

Any other predictions?
 
The problem I have with cards like Dimension Fusion being limited is that it hurts decks other than just the the ones they intended to. My DMoC OTK is all but impossible now, and it wasn't easy before. All because they want to take some steam out of the Chimeratech decks. But it's not just Dimension Fusion. Eliminating Last Will hurts a lot of decks too.
 
[jerks] restricted my chain strike. I hate them all so much. Thats it im going back to simochi burn. Especially with more draw thanks to an extra upstart.

yeah, My D-Hero deck have sidedeck of 3x Strike Ninja and 2x Dimension Fusion. (i.e. with Diamond Dude, I don't have to pay 2000LP if I potluck, so Dimension Fusion made more sense then RftDD)

Yeah, Last Will is pretty much "Sangan on crack" spell card. Any monster is turned into Sangan and also instantly summons it too not just in your hand for next turn.

But seriously, why are we having Snatch Steal AND Ring of D? And I'm so gunna fear the power of Rat Control now.

Man, I have to pull a few hairs to make all these adjustments on my 5 decks I'm playing. And well, all of my decks will have -Graceful/MoF/Breaker and +Snatch Steal, but after that, it gets hard.
 
Can someone tell me about a deck that abuses Magical Stone Excavation so much that is needs a restriction? I mean it has a double-discard. I'm probably missing something.
 
Basically, OTK card that needs a specific spell card for the win can totally abuse Magical Stone Excavation.

Spell Reproduction had a prob of discard 2 spell cards, not just any discard, so it was way too situational. (The only deck IMO that can use Spell Reproduction was Vincent Tundo's Life equalizer/Blasting of the Ruin deck, but that died once Giant Trunade ended up in the restricted list.)

What cards you say? stuff like

Heavy Storm/Giant Trunade. (if you need a clear backfield for the win)

Metamorphosis (Well, this is more back during TER days, but still, sometimes, Meta can mean game if you run say alot of LV8 monsters)

Limiter Removal (using 2x Limiter Removal in one shot with say a Cyber Dragon to pump it to 8400ATK is instant win is almost any situation as long as the foe's monster is in ATK position or direct attack. Seriously, in the right situation, it's worth the 2x discard.)

Monster Gate/Reasoning (This is more for those DMoC or similar OTK decks. but still, yeah)

Graceful Charity (Nothing is wrong with Graceful Charity)

Dimension Fusion (If your playing Dimensional Fissure deck, guess what, the 2 monster card you discarded with Magical Stone Excavation are gunna get summoned along with other stuff you discarded/RFP. Imagine this. Play Dimensional Fissure, Graceful Charity, discard 2 monsters, Magical Stone Excavation discard 2 more monsters, pick up Graceful Charity again with Magical Stone Excavation, then Graceful Charity for 2x more monsters, and then Heavy Storm+Dimension Fusion... EEK... Of course, with Dimension Fissure being 1x and Graceful banned, this isn't gunna happen now.)

Nobleman of Crossout (As always, multiple use of NoC will kill your foe of trying to defend by setting face-down monsters)

Anyway, there's ALOT of examples. But basically, anything that makes you re-use spell cards easily is a prob and deserve to be in restricted list. (Along with Golden Sealed Chest, being able to SEACH ANYTHING?!?!?!)
 
Thanks drzero7, however most OTKs are inconsistent enough without this card.

Most examples you posted wouldnt work in most situations.

For 2x Limiter you need 4 cards, and that wouldnt happen often. Plus until you have the cards you keep a dead card in your hand.

And Dimensional Fissure + Magical Stone Excavation + Graceful + Heavy + Dimension Fusion is a 5 card combo.

NOC: In the OCG they have Shield Crash in 3s against defpos monsters.

I really dont see the power of this card, I mean "double-discard"! Anyway, thanks for trying though.
 
Anyone else wondering why Victory Dragon was banned? Didn't seem like that much of a threat to me, especially since you're allowed to concede at any time (perhaps not in Japan, from what I've heard, but if you're facing Victory Dragon you just didn't play well enough to avoid it).
 
Actually the same goes for us in America, you can't concede when victory dragon attacks you or you will most likely get unsportsmanlike conduct. but I understand your point because victory dragon is hard to get out

You most certainly CAN concede while "Victory Dragon" is in play, and no, you most likely woudn't get an unsportsmanlike penalty, seeing as how UDE made it quite clear about following the Policy Documentation about game concessions in relation to "Victory Dragon", several times in fact.
