User:Interstate-5/Extra Formats
So, a lot of people like to use some of the cards that are in the Forbidden list, but don't want to have to deal with some of the ridiculous cards that you can see in the Traditional Format. The solution? Create "formats" (just for fun) that lie between Advanced and Traditional.
Obviously not everyone is going to agree with my lists. And I don't claim to be the greatest expert on Yu-gi-oh! So in order for this stuff to might actually be used, I'm looking for your input. If you're going to give me input, either use my Talk Page, this page's Talk Page, or create a section below my lists for discussion: do not alter the lists as I have them. I will make changes I deem fit.
Please remember that these lists are NOT official and NOT approved by anyone other than me. So if any league decides to adopt a format, know that it won't be supported. And if anyone is playtesting these formats, please do write and give input on how they can be improved. Also, check back regularly to see if improvements have been made. In parenthesis for each card is either the changes made on September 1, or another comment.
So, without further ado, we go from two formats to five.
