Banned:

pot of avarice- a plus 1 that recycles used cards into the deck opening up for big plays.

monster reborn- this card allows for too much shenanigans

BLS- only to be replaced by chaos emperor dragon(my personal thought not realistic)

Limited:

wind-up shark- no explanation needed

wind-up magician- same as above

wind-up factory- again same

MST- yes there is backrow to deal with but there are many choice other than this people just choose to ignore them

Miracle fusion- there is fusion gate and super-poly, they dont need 3 miracles too

pot of greed- +1 that every deck can use. extremely fair card

sinister serpent- another +1. doesnt eff the meta really so why not

Chaos emperor dragon- its time for a change of pace.(see BLS)

Semi-Limited:

mezuki- lets give zombies a break

Black whirlwind- if factory stays at 3 there is no reason this cant be at 2

blackwing- gale the whirlwind- its not like he wins games so why not

genex undine- the deck will still be pretty good but it doesn't need 3

DAD- i expect hate for this but with 2 warnings, 1 judgment, and 2 bottomless trap holes whats there really to worry about.

allure of darkness- you dont plus for the most part and i believe that it will be good for the game

lonefire blossom- plants arnt what they used to be with glow up bulb banned and tengu at 2 but they shouldent be useless

Unlimited:

spore- eff can only be used once anyway

tsukuyomi- not that good anyway

plaguespreader zombie- you lose a card when you use his eff so its a fair trade off

summoner monk- with the discard of a spell as the cost the trade off for this makes it fair to be at 3

i didnt hit mermail/atlantiens, fire fist, maldoches or spellbooks simply because they are relatively new and why would they hit cards that they can still make quite a bit of money on.

so tell me what you think. P.S. i have no problem if you disagree with what i have said. you are all entitled to your own opinion but being rude gets you nowhere.

i was looking online and saw a spoiler about the battle pack and the gold series 5

below are a few of the cards supposedly getting reprinted

epic dawn

Raigeki

Witch of the Black Forest

Makyura the Destructor

gold series5

dark magician of chaos

destiny hero disk commander

im not entirely sure if this is official but lets say these cards do get reprinted. we all remember when bls got reprinted it was unbanned in the next ban list. im not too worried about the disk commander but if the rest get unbanned then there will be some serious issues. the cards im worried about the most is witch of black forest and rageki. lets just put it this way, if rageki get limited dark hole and torrential tribute better get banned. i just want to know whats your take on this.

on another subject, personally i dont see why premature burial is still banned. they already got rid giant trunade to spamming it will be alot harder. they kept call of the haunted in fact they put it at 3 and we still have monster reborn. so again what do u think about this

I know pretty much everything about synchroing there is but there is one thing about them that I'm not to sure about. In the rules it generalizes synchros by saying you need one tuner and one non tuner but it also says that if there is difference between the rules and what the card says that you would go with the card and now heres my question. Let's say I want to summon junk warrior( this is just an example) it say junk synchron+ 1or more non tuner monsters. What it doesn't say is that you need a tuner it says you need junk synchron so if I use phantom of chaos to remove junk synchron in my grave and have him treated as junk synchron shouldent I technically be able to sync using the phantom of chaos treated as junk synchron and the non tuner to summon junk warrior.

Keep in mind that junk warrior doesn't say you need a tuner to summon him just junk synchron and the non tuner

if my opponet attacks me diirectly then i summon battled fader and he activates solemn warning to negate the summon. does the attack go through or does he have to attack again because the attack was interupted

so when galactic overlord comes out theres is going to be the most broken deck i have ever seen. heritic dragons is so broke its not even funny. i just went up against them on the dueling network and got ftk'ed by them. 8000 to 0 while i had a monster. unless you start and open with the wind-up hunter loop there is no way you can when if they just get 3 cards from the deck. which brings me to my question. when this pack comes out are you A. ganna run a heritic dragon deck or B. try to come out with a way to stop them. with what i saw this seems like a potential tournement topper to worry about.

now i know that everyone who sees people trolling in this catagory will agree when i say this. are you such d-bags that you have to go completly out of your way just to put down and complain about people playing yugioh? you wouldent be looking in this catagory if you didnt have a reason to so obviously you used to play yugioh or you have no life and cant find anything better to do than bag on people who just wanna have fun and if you did used to play you have no room to talk about yugioh being G*Y cause your just like us and saying otherwise makes you a hypocrite. another thing i wanna say is that most of the people who play yugioh have better lives than you cause all you want to do is put people down.

we all know that effect veiler got reprinted again in the ORCS special edition but it should have been something else like fabled raven(veiler and raven came out in the same pack) or even tour guide from the underworld. now that that didnt happen when should you expect these highly sought after cards be reprinted. the cards i think are getting reprinted soon will be: tour guide, fabled raven, brionac, scrap dragon, forbidden lance, and fiendish chain. now im expecting tour guide and scrap dragon to be released in the gold series 5 but what about the rest? there is always the special edition of what ever the next pack is and the next tin set. honestly, what do you think will get reprinted and when?

It might just be me but who else is glad they killed tengu plant

Who else agrees that yugioh is getting to predictable/unoriginal?

When you look a decks that win major tournaments you see that almost all of them are the same in some way. For example: blackwings six sam tengu-plant teledad are just a few decks that no matter where you are, the deck list for each of these is relatively close with the exceptions of a few different cards. Every deck that wins tournaments are decks that everyone knows about and don't take much skill to win with. I'm personally tired of not seeing anybody with there own"original" decks. The way I see it unless you can prove you can win with a deck thats your own and you use ur own skill not the skill of the deck then you are not a real duelist.

I'm still thinking about the extra deck

iv been wondering this for a while. if imperial iron wall is on the field and you use there effects to summon them back to the field, would they be removed anyway since there effects were activated or would i not even be able to do it.
