Forum:Thoughts on the Banlist

So what are your thoughts on this current Banlist? For me, I think Ravine should have been Limited, but whatever. At least my C-Dragon Deck gets a push... NovaTsukimori (talk • contribs) 23:30, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Dragon Rulers have been hit properly :D , other things I found kinda strange, but one of my favourite ban-lists so far :) Bye-bye DR, kinda sad that a few other things got.. but eh; HALLELUJAH :3 --slave(command•works) 23:43, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

I'm just glad to see DR, Dragunity, and Sixth Sense gone. You don't know much my friend pissed me off with Dragunity. Now they're dead... NovaTsukimori (talk • contribs) 00:50, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

While I'm also happy to see the Dragon Rulers and all the things they abused to hell being nailed (as well as Sixth Sense), I'm also extremely worried about the things whose restrictions were lessened: specifically, Chaos Sorcerer, Lonefire Blossom, Archlord Kristya, and the Zombies. Chaos Sorcerer, able to banish things on a dime, is very annoying to me. Lonefire also could get really troublesome, being able to drop Plant Princesses or Sylvan monsters immediately. Kristya, being a Special Summon crusher, does nothing good to my Synchro/Xyz-centric strategies. And the Zombies...well, my brother uses Zombie World in real life, to say the least. Aaaaaarrrrggghhh. A Shining Star appeared!! (Make a Wish) 01:48, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

I get how you feel; used to feel the same way; Chaos Sorcerer at multiple has always bugged me, but after DRs came out I honestly don't mind it at 2, a bit of pressure but a nice challenge ... as for the otehrs I've never run in to too much of an issue with them ... Dragon Rulers shouldn't have been released *grumble grumble grumble*

If you could handle DRs surely you can handle the others there ;) --slave(command•works) 01:55, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Dragon Rulers must be banned, not limited. Just being able to revive a strong beater each turn with no drawback, no conditions, no restrictions at all is still not okay. It's just bad design. BAN THEM! Otherwise, the banlist is okay. Finally hitting Fate (I hate Spellbooks 100 times more than rulers, so this is good news). Bringing back Mezuki is cool. TGU wasn't doing anything lately, so it's also okay. I'm not too happy about Kristya, but it's not such a big deal. And Storm remains banned. I expect a really slow format. Geargias, Bujins, Evilswarms etc. Nephthy (talk • contribs) 17:41, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

But at one each, they aren't that bad, and they can still serve for some useful attribute support, kidna. --Dark Ace SP (Talk) 23:22, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

I think this is perhaps one of the more interesting banlists. No one could be surprised about sixth sense getting banned. And even with the dragons limited, return from the different dimension is still ridiculously powerful. I always believed that if BLS is at one, Chaos sorcerer should be at two, since who's going to use chaos sorcerer over BLS? And the unbanning of magician of faith is going to be very interesting... Just a little sad monster reborn didn't get unbanned though... Silverspark is Was and forever will be ^{Awesomer than thou!} 09:21, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Don't Count Out the Dragon Rulers

Guys, I wouldn't count out the Dragon Rulers just yet. I just read on Facebook about a little tournament held on Dueling Network earlier today (just a casual tourney, though), and using the new January list. And Dragon Rulers made it to 4th place. Apparently the user went with a Turbo version of Dragon Rulers, maxing out on stuff like Dragon Shrine, Upstart Goblin, Trade-In, Dragoncarnation, Cards of Consonance, D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation and Sacred Sword of Seven Stars. And I believe he also included the Blue-Eyes engine (BEWD, Maiden and White Stone), plus the Mythic Dragons. There are also some new Youtube videos showing new Dragon Ruler builds for the Jan format, mostly including the BEWD engine and the Mythic Dragons, plus one using a Hieratic build. So yeah, Rulers are not dead yet. We'll see how well they play in the new format. Moja619 (talk • contribs) 19:27, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

i'm with nephthy on this one those F**KING d.rulers should've been banned since the new list hit on devpro i lost 7 times to those thingsDennis.vanderwiele (talk • contribs) 22:10, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

I used them, and I only lost once even with the new list. NovaTsukimori (talk • contribs) 22:12, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Gah they should have been killed months ago, never the less I'm happy with them to survive and still be effective in the manner Moja619 articulated, they are still very cheap but at least something like that requires slightly more thought than just DR spam... Yay for recycling -.- --slave(command•works) 22:14, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
