March 2010 the Day of Reckoning

After some careful consideration on the ban list I came up with something I believe will be more accurate. Here it is.


Newly Banned

Adam Corn
Brain Control
Elemental Hero Stratos
Necroface

Limited

Beckoning Light
Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier
Burial From The Different Dimension
Judgment Dragon
Tragoedia

Semi-Limited

Cyber Dragon
Gladiator Beast Bestiari
Solemn Judgment

Unlimited

Allure of Darkness
Bottomless Traphole
Chaos Sorcerer
Gold Sarcophagus

All right for my explanations on the choices. First off the ban list. Brain Control has been around for years and has won countless games by simply taking a monster for a laughable 800 life points. Too good thus it deserves a ban. Stratos leads to the deadly plays of TeleDad, Chaos, or any deck that abuses the D-Hero engine. It's an 1800 atk floater who is essentially a free card and allows you to tutor the entire hero cast. Not to mention he is incredibly broken with revival cards. Necroface otk's. No more no less.

For the limited list. Beckoning slows down Lightsworn decks and makes them think twice about dropping JD with only one way to get it back. Brionac equals broken. Limited for otk reasons. Burial leads to the abuse of Mezuki, Vayu, and Necro Gardna. Limited it slows these decks down. Judgment Dragon. Enough said. Tragoedia is a broken mind control on legs who can be a real problem to deal with.

The semi limit list sees Bestiari at 2. It gives for Gladiator Beasts a chance to make a comeback. Cyber Dragon at 2 helps promote the new Machine cards coming out and helps machine decks join the tournament scene. Solemn Judgment gives support to control decks and helps stop problems.

Allure of Darkness is unlimited to help dark decks who relied on Stratos make a comeback. Bottomless at three helps counter Gladiators and Eatos decks. Chaos Sorcerer at 3 allows Twilight decks and Chaos decks a chance to recover from losing Tragoedia and Stratos. Gold Sarcophagus at three allows any deck to help search for their newly limited cards and with Necroface banned it no longer is a problem.
