Post your opinions on the list.

Didnt have to lock my thread you could have been nice and just said there's already a thread for this, and I would have taken my post down.

Hmm, sorry about that. I'll see what I can do.

There, I moved the other thread. Feel free to post on either one.

Nah I just took down my other one. It's all good now.

Alright, taht's settled then. So you had a complaint about Monster Reborn being on the list, right?

*sigh* I did. I am happy they brought CoTH back because I have like so many copies of it and I am selling them like crazy, however I don't think Monster Reborn should have been banned.

I, on the other hand, feel that Monster Reborn should not have been taken off in the first place. It always seemed somewhat too overpowered. Getting back essentially any monster in any battle position for no cost was just a bit too cheap in many situations. I like Call of the Haunted because it works well with Jester Lord's effect. :p

Monster Reborn isn't that good in my opinion. There are worse cards if you ask me. Call of the Haunted is good and all but it's just going to be Assault Mode support.

Personally, I think I'm most upset about Black Rose Dragon going down to 1. I mean, really? So is Konami basically saying that the one-shot destruction effect of Black Rose Dragon is better than Judgment Dragon's multiple-time destruction effect? Seriously, this ban list was just made to rake in more cash. :/

well to be honest JD is a bit more difficult to summon than BRD mostly because of the restriction. So I don't blame Konami for throwing a shit storm everytime someone nuked the field more with BRD than JD. Plus JD is limited to LL and Phantom of Chaos. As for BRD all you need is a tuner and a non-tuner, simple? Yes, yes it is.

Yeah, I suppose so. But then what about randomly hitting Demise? Does anybody actually use him anymore? I'm telling ya, it's all about the money for them. :/

I think Phantom of Chaos should have been @ 1 if you ask me. Cards that are @ 1 are being constantly drained by it.

I just love the fact that whenever a new list comes along, I'm not affected by it at all.

Usually the same can be said for me, but now that Black Rose Dragon is being put at one and Dark Strike Fighter is banned, I'm going to have to really rely on Ancient Fairy Dragon for my Geartown deck. Essentially all of my other decks were unaffected. The age of my Rock-type deck now begins!

I'm seeing a lot of Monarch Decks (again =_=) and well I was greatly affected by this new list since I ran Synchro Cat but since that's dead I guess I'll just make a Random Deck.

If that's going to be a problem, you can use "Serpent from the Depths" and negate those abilities on DME.

Lol yeah that's true

For people that don't know Serpent From the Depths, here's the effect (Duel Monsters Expert):

Serpent From The Depths
******** Attribute: Water
[Sea-Serpent/Effect]
While this card is in your Graveyard, negate the effects of monsters that activate when they are Normal Summoned.
ATK/ 2700 DEF/ 2200

Oh then that wont work on Monarchs lol it'll work for card effects like Breaker the Magical Warrior. Monarchs have to be Tribute Summoned in order for their effects to kick off.

Not according to what people have said....

People there think Tribute Summon = Normal Summon.

Eh well I think it wont work mainly because there are cards that do stuff when a monster is Tribute Summoned.

I hate this discussion....whenever it gets to "ZOMG, THAT'S A NORMAL SUMMON." and we have people saying "ZOMG, NO, IT ISN'T. STOP LYING." and it goes on and on. =_=

Find some proof to the arguement.....because I don't want to go into it.

Monster Reborn, we'll missyour awesome appearances in the anime.

I heard that the OCG wanted to limit JD and Honest but the TCG said no to it. Also, Why did Fissure and DD Lady get bumped to 3.

Don't know....Maybe it's the way Konami thinks?
