Alrite noobs and pros. Whatever category you're in, its finally time for the new ban list to be activated. No more gadgets flying all over the place, our main mechanism for draw games has disappeared again, namely d ring, alot lesser getting killed by your own monsters (whoopee!), and what should also be lesser of first turn d draw, major loading of grave, etc etc stuff. (Noooo, my card gunners............)
Whats coming up? Well, here's a couple of my guessing on the latest metagames to come.
LADD varients!
This big dragon is still here to stay, though it should be built quite differently now. Some people will probably try and stick to the d hero edition, but with diabolic crippled, dash guy just doesnt cut it. Some decks have appeared using evil heroes instead, namely Malicious edge to just drill through, when their ladd dies, they just carry on drilling away. Not a bad tactic to punish all the frog users, and with Hell brat coming up (Dun know what this is? Go read dmcomet.net nub!), Evil hero may just fit into the LADD quite nicely?
Big babboon burn mixes!
Well, all the main combinations for this deck has been hardly touched at all so this deck will probably be here to stay. Its just not such a often seen deck just cause not much people have the green babboon but its still a strong deck that works, so what the heck.
The usual Monarch mix!
3 Raizas are here to stay for another few months, though there is no more imbal leet like theft your monster, bounce your face down monsters, and hit direct, blah, at least not that much, but hey, its still a too strong monster. I've heard of people mixing in the raizas with the above 2 other decks, but I should probably see the usual raiza + zaborg + other monarchs coming back again. Zaborg especially since there will be more face downs and less theft/brain control to play around with.
Noob beatdown!
Yes, I did forget about this one, for the guys reading the tag area. But it was so obvious that I didn't even think about it. Well, in an era with minimal earth smash/fissure/brain control, the obvious deck that will come to mind will be a variation of the old cy-cal-gorz. (Dun know what is this? You must have been sleeping a year ago) With rai-ou joining in and DD Assailant back at 3, a very plain boring idea comes to mind. 3 Cydras + 3 Rai-ous + 3 DCK + 3 DD Assailant, and add in a slight touch of 2 Jinzos + 2 Genocides. Thats about half the deck there already and from what you can see, it purely concentrates on 1900 goodness with a pure fighting force. However, another "rich man" deck, cause 3 rai ous, 3 DCK, and 3 assailants makes it abit of a high priced deck, so not much people will have all the resources for it. But those with it? Be prepared to see variatioins of this one coming up in the next few Japanese champion deck lists. Rich net deckers should be happy!
And finally, Machine remix!
2 versions will probably dominate the machine varients. 1 will be the deck which I just built, look below. Well, not the deck maybe but the combo of proto + dna is really abit imbal at the moment. The 2nd version will be standard beatdown with your dekoichis and your cyber phoenix, just to slowly gain advantage on field, and hand at the same time.
Other not so main decks!
Gladier beast is still a good deck, no matter what Darius says. Though of course, lesser brain controls and earth smashes makes alexander not that powerful anymore since most people will be using monsters and traps to kill monsters now anyway. And with 2 royal palaces, it will be that much harder to produce the lock, which is the same situation for the Horus decks at the moment. But still, the instant gaining of field presence and mad lp rush from a simple rescue cat + forced rotation combo cannot be looked down upon. For info, go to the archives to look on my GLAS review for the imbal dmg and field calculations.
Crystal Beast maybe? With the duelist pack coming in less then 2 months, and the current massive spamming you can possibly get from using counter gem, the possibilies are endless. Even without the new rainbow dragon, you could probably just open this trap card during your turn, then use gem abundunce/rainbow ruins, its a simple 2 card otk possibility from easy field spamming. Not sure how my above combo works? Go work out those flacid brain muscles of yours.
Anywayz, this are just my guesses, dun quote me for anything your friend asks you if I'm wrong, but do give me credit if I'm right! Dai-Ma-Cy-Ou deserves to be honoured and revered!

Cyber Evolution Deck!!!
Hello boys & girls, here is my new deck for this upcoming ban list, which I have thought of the name abit, and I think I will call it the Cyber Evolution deck. As usual, here is the deck list before I go on to describing the deck abit further.
[Monster] =16
[3] Cyber Dragon
[3] Proto Cyber Dragon
[3] Reflect Bounder
[2] Antique Gear Cannon
[1] Cyber Phoenix
[1] Card Gunner
[1] Light Fusion Hex Seal
[1] Snipe Hunter
[1] Critter
[Magic]=18
[1] Heavy Storm
[1] Hurricane
[1] Cyclone
[3] Power Bond
[1] Sealing Swords Of Light
[1] Double Summon
[1] Early Burial
[2] Genocide
[1] Instant Fusion
[1] Future Fusion
[1] Overload Fusion
[1] Megamorph
[1] Limit Break
[1] Meteor Bow
[Traps]=6
[1] Cry Of Living Dead
[1] Peace Treaty
[1] Tidal Wave
[3] DNA Surgery
Well, from what you guys can see here, this is more of a beatdown mixed with combo deck rather then a pure combo based deck. I'm sure some of you guys reading this saw me tinkering around with the deck yesterday, which had machine duplications, cyber scouters and all that, but in the end, this is the one I am most satisfied with.
Basic combo, will be to use DNA surgery to change all monsters on field to machine types, summon 1 proto cyber dragon, and basically get to do a free lightning vortex on the opponent, as well as up size my proto cyber dragon to a minimum of 2k attack at the same time. 2k can fall to cyber dragon easily as many people may point out, but heck, my deck is filled with machines. If they even summon out the cydra, it will just fall as easily the next turn, so why not? The main reason sealing swords and peace treaty in this deck is not for the hum, or for the burn, though they are nice bonuses. Its more to just get everything face up to feed my chimeratech fortress, hmmm. Food for thought. Anywayz, in this deck, there is only 1 nice combo to remember.
DNA Surgery + Proto Cyber Dragon = Lightning Vortex + Nice big monster!
Now I will just address a few small concerns people will have on my selections. Why reflect bounder as my main fighter? I put reflect bounder aside when there was previously too many earth smash and fissure going around along with gadget decks as it was no longer effective, but now its making a come back for me. People will be forced to either attack into it, or waste their single copies of earth smash and stuff to kill it, leaving my Chimeratech Fortress safe. Not to mention 1700 is good to kill all the breakers I'm gonna see soon, and people will waste traps on it, so, why not?
Antique gear cannons are there to provide protection against all the traps which you can see out there which are sure to rise, as I will not be able to play royal palace in this deck that much. Not to mention the bit of burn damage, so, its not bad? From testing it out yesterday, I got hit next to 0 mirror forces and the usual reactive traps yesterday. They work pretty well with tidal wave anyway, especially against all the XXX LADD.
And finally for the magic side, double summon serves basically to either double summon 2 proto cydra for powerbonds, or maybe 1 proto and 1 antique gear cannon/snipe hunter for obvious reasons. Be it powerbond or calling chimeratech fortress, the protection is there against traps. Meteor bow? I just like to use it for my cyber twin dragons which either through powerbond or a pre used megamorph/limit break, get to do 4600 * 2 for direct damage otk. Abit of personal preference, heh. Just like the instant fusion, so far, it has only 2 jobs, 1 for tidal wave, and 2 for a even bigger fortress for the kill. Its in the deck, just for that bit of suprise factor, haha.
In conclusion, this deck probably still needs some fine-tuning here and there. Even as typing it out here, I was playing around with it and making small changes here and there. But hey, the main bulk of the deck is there already, its turning out pretty fine, and I'm having fun playing it! All in all, after testing around, this is a pretty stable and fun to play deck with its fair share of combos, so why not try it out?

Gadgets: The end?
Well today I'm gonna just write out several things about gadgets in regards to the latest banlist. As usual these are just my thoughts and are not necessarily true.
Let's start out with their restriction to 2. I think it's quite a stupid thing to do considering two sets is still playable. And for myself, I only use two sets so it's really isn't a big deal.
Now come the real kicker. Fissure and Smashing Grounds are both restricted to 1. Yes there'll be people telling me that there is Hammer Shot and whatever you people can think of but it is not as good as the 2 restricted ones. This really hurts the gadgets as they are like really small and the natural (and some might say noobish) thing to do is:
1) Summon Gadget (and search)
2) Play Smashing/Fissure
3) Directo attack!
4) Cover a defensive card
It's a Vicious cycle =(
The next thing that actually adds salt to the wound is placing Shocker into R to 2 spot. With less monster removal spells, you thought it would be cool to add more traps. But with 2 Shockers, that doesn't look like a very bright choice. Vortex x3 anyone?
And to add additional salt to the already salt covered wound and rubbing it all over! The release of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon. This is like having a Black Hole just for Gadgets. It completely prevents the gadgets from summoning Cydra + a Gadget. It's like automatic card lost.
If he does summon the above combo, he can either:
1) summon his own Fortress after that (which is retarded btw, 2000 is not that hard to kill)
2) let me summon Fortress with HIS materials (cheers he lost 2 cards for nothing)
So, was the restriction of Gadgets even needed? Konami is damn poison. Wanna kill, kill all the way.
Well you don't have to take all the above things negatively. Restriction of gadgets? Good I wont have all gadget hand again! Shocker to 2? Good I can use 2 Shockers as well! Fortress? dont summon cydra and summon it at the end when you already have 4 gadgets! and so on...
Well good luck to the gadget players, don't give up! I used to like gadgets... till every single damn person is playing it..

Got my Chimeratech Fortress Dragon!
Just gonna post abit for fun. The kino in Orchard has the chimeratech fortress vjump only coming tomorrow on thursday, but somehow Liang Court has it today already. I was gonna go get it tomorrow, but I had to go out earlier for some business related stuff. That was when I realised that I could just get my driver to swing over to Liang Court. So I made a phone call, booked my copies first, then finished my meetings and went over to pick up my copies. So abuse rite?
Anywayz, here it is, a happy man, at his work place, with his Chimeratech Fortress Dragon! Here

Thoughts on banlist by Dai-Ma-Cy-Ou
Well, quite suprising that I just post my speculations less then 12 hours later the actual one comes out. I didnt expect them till sunday night at least. Not gonna say how right I am or what shit, you guys just go compare and figure. Here are just some thoughts lah.
Banned:
Confiscate - Weeee, no more for no reason first turn see hand, good reason to rejoice
Theft/D Ring - 2 cards I love, but hey, for Baha thats 2 reasons why they should go
Metamorphesis - Well, Balde is quite sad over this one. IMO, 1 would be enough, but heck, I ain't the one who controls these things
Restricted:
Saint Mag - 2 apprentice, 3 fortune teller and 1 saint mag decks? Hmmm, but 2 genocide so.......
Breaker - This is still a strong card IMO, but there is really near 0 m/t destruction left for normal decks so this comes in i guess.
Disc Guy - Restrict to 1. Does it matter? Hmmm, well, the whole d-hero series got it pretty bad
Card Gunner - NO!!!! Sob, ah well, not totally unexpected. My prediction to 2 more like hope?
Giant Growth - Why you guys associate this with me ah, I havent used 2 in quite awhile i think. Though now that its 1 I will spam in all my decks? LOL
Snipe Hunter - My prediction for dandelion ban was actually for this reason, but I didnt touch snipe as I thought it was 2/3, so.... But guess Konami decided to just heck and take out snipe.
Brain Control - I like this card, but hey, was due to go LONG AGO
Earth Smash/Fissure - I agree with baha. No more jokes on, "Aiyah, 1 Earth Smash also die", but maybe gadget fanatics will use hammer shoot instead? Hmmm
Dust Chute - Weee, even lesser hand d, more otk chances
Prophecy - Well, very few people used it here, now even fewer will use it
Wall of revealing light - Again, similar to prophecy. But I guess it affects Japan side?
Semi-Restricted
Jinzo - Wow! 1 of my wish list came true. Though not totally unexpected. Like I said, not that many traps now to begin with. This probably marks the end of burn decks though
Jar Of Avarice - How many decks using 2 will appear? Dun ask me, dun wanna know.
Genocide - Like I said in the saint mag area, it coming back together is a good move
Diabolic - And like said for disc guy, D hero...... Quite limited with options. I was thinking they would take out d draw, but taking this out, I suspect lesser people will play d draw from here on
Gadget set - Dun think it affects much, with 2 avarice now. Though, I suspect I will see very few gadget decks from here on anyway.
Royal Palace - Sad, my fav side deck card as well. But at least no more getting gayed easily by horus and gladial beast decks?
Unrestricted:
Assailant - Maybe I will see people who plays 3? Sign of beatdown deck era I guess.
Goblin Management - Good for anyone playing a combo deck, though I dun see it anymore
Protector - Yes, Colin, please play 3. I will love to see it.
DDVM - Well, never knew how it got here in the first place.
Things which they should have touched but never? Frog, Raiza, and LADD. Well, but as for frog, they unrestricted genocide, though not sure if it helps. Lesser theft/brain control for raiza and ladd, and even killed off diabolic for LADD. I will be suprised if anyone still plays diabolic from here on. GORZ! With lesser monster destruction, this thing will fly even higher? Stress.... Plus TES should be back. With 0 metamorph ............... Quite sucks? Though instant fusion will call it easily so they will have to come back/go together
1 thing is we will quite surely see beatdown decks all over. 3 cydra, 3 dck, 3 rai ou, 3 assailant, 2 genocide, breaker, and 2 jinzo? With low count on the monster removal this is probably the deck we will see everywhere. Gadgets are half dead unless anyone really wants to try hammer shoot but....... If fighting the above mentioned deck list gadgets are quite gonners.
OTK decks, hmmm. Well, like most guys know, my decks have been around card gunner and machine dup recently. Guess its time to think of some new ideas, though with the lack of hand control stuff, OTK has less things to worry about. Well, as Baha says, the main deck to think about will be chimera fortress decks. I will probably come up with something soon, look out for it. Dig out those cyber phoenix people. With all the non targetting stuff gone, its time for phoenix to shine. 2 Jinzo sounds fun too!
And finally to those playing MPT with 2 avarice? Good luck to you. The similarly mentioned beatdown deck list as above will give you a good time with the 3 rai ou and dck and 2 genocides giving you a fun time.

================================
Comments time!!!
Metamorphosis
>This is an unexpected move from Konami. I guess removing it entirely wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Snatch Steal
Confiscation
Destruction Ring
> Eh nothing special to comment about lol.
Saint Magician
> Another unexpected. But not that powerful I guess. There are no gay magic to take back cept Heavy Storm. And there are 2 Crossouts now.
Magical Warrior Breaker
> Favourite card is back!!! love konami!!!
D Hero Disk Guy
> As expected of Konami, too bad LADD didn't join him.
Card Gunner
> TCG players have abused it so much and of course DS.
Snipe Stalker
> Damn, I should've guessed this. Gay in multiples.
Megamorph
> More DS hate.
Smashing Grounds
> Cheers. Now my hard summoned monsters don't die in 1 hit! After all the joke of "oh one Smashing ground die already"
Fissure
> As above.
Brain Control
> More cheers.
Dust Chute
> I think people are getting bored of "Cheers" comments lol
Wall of Revealing Light
> Stalling is indeed proven gay.
Prophecy of Reincarnation
> Suikai, I feel sad for you. Maybe recycling itself was too gay. And probably coz Avarice is R to 2 they have to prevent the gayness of MPT (if it still is.. =/)
Green Gadget
Red Gadget
Yellow Gadget
> More cheers here and there. Like after 3 banlist untouched.
Android Psycho Shocker
> Konami is very cool this time. This is something totally unexpected as well. Never did I guess that this would ever leave the R to 1 list since 5 years ago lol.
D Hero Diabolic Guy
> Unexpected, putting it at 2 makes this totally crap now. I sense LADD/Emperor decks will have to rely on Gravekeeper Spy... which brings us to the next card!
Nobleman of Crossout
> Here is your answer to those who puts 3 spy =)
Pot of Avarice
> This wasn't worth to be in the R to 1 in the first place.
Royal Palace
> The god side deck card finally hits the list too. But I usually put 2 anyway so it's ok =)
D.D Assailant
> Damn it all, now I have to buy again.
Protector of Sanctuary
> C'mon Colin! Play 3!!!
Goblin Housekeeping
> Crap ass card.
Demonic Deck Destruction Virus
> No one uses it anyway.
Lastly, I love this list alot. Aside from the not banning of LADD/Gran Mole. It is a very good list I think. Shocker won't die like free. Summoning Emperors would not be so easy too. Crossouts will be everywhere.
The deck to beat now...
Raida/Emperor Variants
> It will still be irritating, but at least you remove Disk/frog it will still be an even match. And with less snatching of opponent monster for tribute, at least they will be using their own resources to summon.
Gadgets
> Eh, I think other beatdown stuff will be added inside. No more Smashing/Fissure means put more traps. More traps kena own by 2 Shocker. Your choice lol.
OTK Decks
> Barely exists now that Metamoprhose got axed. The only one still barely playable would be chimera decks.
MPT
> With 2 avarice available now, it might be more playable. But still, the last time I played was really long ago. Maybe can loop more more since Saint Magician is out too. Nothing is better then keep recycling Avarice and herself.
There are of course many other decks out there that I didn't mention. Good luck adjusting to the new banlist.

Comments time!!!
Metamorphosis
>This is an unexpected move from Konami. I guess removing it entirely wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Snatch Steal
Confiscation
Destruction Ring
> Eh nothing special to comment about lol.
Saint Magician
> Another unexpected. But not that powerful I guess. There are no gay magic to take back cept Heavy Storm. And there are 2 Crossouts now.
Magical Warrior Breaker
> Favourite card is back!!! love konami!!!
D Hero Disk Guy
> As expected of Konami, too bad LADD didn't join him.
Card Gunner
> TCG players have abused it so much and of course DS.
Snipe Stalker
> Damn, I should've guessed this. Gay in multiples.
Megamorph
> More DS hate.
Smashing Grounds
> Cheers. Now my hard summoned monsters don't die in 1 hit! After all the joke of "oh one Smashing ground die already"
Fissure
> As above.
Brain Control
> More cheers.
Dust Chute
> I think people are getting bored of "Cheers" comments lol
Wall of Revealing Light
> Stalling is indeed proven gay.
Prophecy of Reincarnation
> Suikai, I feel sad for you. Maybe recycling itself was too gay. And probably coz Avarice is R to 2 they have to prevent the gayness of MPT (if it still is.. =/)
Green Gadget
Red Gadget
Yellow Gadget
> More cheers here and there. Like after 3 banlist untouched.
Android Psycho Shocker
> Konami is very cool this time. This is something totally unexpected as well. Never did I guess that this would ever leave the R to 1 list since 5 years ago lol.
D Hero Diabolic Guy
> Unexpected, putting it at 2 makes this totally crap now. I sense LADD/Emperor decks will have to rely on Gravekeeper Spy... which brings us to the next card!
Nobleman of Crossout
> Here is your answer to those who puts 3 spy =)
Pot of Avarice
> This wasn't worth to be in the R to 1 in the first place.
Royal Palace
> The god side deck card finally hits the list too. But I usually put 2 anyway so it's ok =)
D.D Assailant
> Damn it all, now I have to buy again.
Protector of Sanctuary
> C'mon Colin! Play 3!!!
Goblin Housekeeping
> Crap ass card.
Demonic Deck Destruction Virus
> No one uses it anyway.
Lastly, I love this list alot. Aside from the not banning of LADD/Gran Mole. It is a very good list I think. Shocker won't die like free. Summoning Emperors would not be so easy too. Crossouts will be everywhere.
The deck to beat now...
Raida/Emperor Variants
> It will still be irritating, but at least you remove Disk/frog it will still be an even match. And with less snatching of opponent monster for tribute, at least they will be using their own resources to summon.
Gadgets
> Eh, I think other beatdown stuff will be added inside. No more Smashing/Fissure means put more traps. More traps kena own by 2 Shocker. Your choice lol.
OTK Decks
> Barely exists now that Metamoprhose got axed. The only one still barely playable would be chimera decks.
MPT
> With 2 avarice available now, it might be more playable. But still, the last time I played was really long ago. Maybe can loop more more since Saint Magician is out too. Nothing is better then keep recycling Avarice and herself.
There are of course many other decks out there that I didn't mention. Good luck adjusting to the new banlist.
DS shot at banlist
Alright, finally time for me to give a shot at the ban list. Again, note this is a speculation so don't get any ideas. But, I figure mine is a pretty good guess anyway, so, why not?
Banned:
Yomi Frog - When metagame has 14 tribute monster deck that makes top 8, duh???
Theft - The usual in and out
D Ring - The same for my favourite wedding ring
Gorz - Well, most things that go banned always are restrict to 1 first then ban. This thing just promotes sitting there and doing nothing and just wait for opponent to touch you. Totally?!?!?
Dandelion - Well, only 50% of it going. Snipe hunter summon, drop dande destroy trap, summon 2 tokens, bloo-d. Hmmm, not a super strong combo, but it works? Or just for monarchs anyway
Restrict:
Last will - Nothing left for it, really? What can you get out? Plus with frog gone, no abuse?
Trap Dustshoot - See hand for free is gay, enough said.
Brain Control - Too many monarchs flying around should finally wake konami up hopefully.
Metamorphesis - Demise bomb, diabolic remove, blah blah, duh
Reinforcement - Abit too many Airman easy flying around, plus really too many warrior decks?
Raiza - You can anyhow target any card depending on situation. Therefore, must die.
Smashing Ground - In 1 month we will see 5000 gadget decks, so........
LADD - Imbalance effect * 2, enough said
Gravekeeper spy - 2k wall * 2 for no investment. Enough said.
Instant Fusion - Read Below
TES - About time this guy's turn to come back, and with no frog to morph, and only 1 instant fusion, I would say its pretty alright?
Semi-Restrict:
Twin Headed Behemoth - Its really no longer strong, and helps promote playing cyber dark deck which is still not popular. Maybe?
Hurricane - LOL, I would like this to come back, but seriously, why not? It was just removed as a free gift along with franken to begin with, but as long as franken remains gone........
Card Gunner - I will say 2, just so that there is no longer a 2 for 3, and at 2, UDE noobs will prob stop playing machine dup anyway. Which without, card gunner is not very strong seriously?
Destiny Draw - Reinforce, summon airman, search diabolic, d draw = Reduce deck size by 4???Zombie Master - I have to agree with baha on this one. Spam field for 0 investment, again, LOL
Unrestricted:
Wall Of Revealing Light - No more last battle, no reason even for 1?
Golden Chest of Sealing - 3 for what? So that when you're losing, you draw your last card and see gold???
Edit: Forgot about kawaii mei mei so.... If golden chest really is 3, I would say prob kawaii mei mei necroface will go to 1 bah. No imbalance gaining 10k lp on first turn pls, even 5k is god alr.
And finally, stuff on my wish/not so possible list of course
Future Fusion to 2! - More roid deck fun, overload remain 1 is fine
Franken 1 - Duh, but lower then 1% chance bah
Scientist 1 - Support banana family! May restrict turtle to 1, and last will remain ban?
Jinzo 2 - Well, I dun think even I will play 2, and not much trap in the market save for slow and sianz gadget. Why not have some fun? LOL
Grandmole 0 - Too irritating, I'm sure everyone has gotten it quite a few times before alr
Airman 0 - 1800, reinforcement searchable, 2 extremely strong effects, and baha loves it, therefore, it must ban! LOL
DDV 0 - Super airman searches disk guy, use for ddv, next turn early burial blah blah, too game leading lor. The ddv is practically a he mu + see hand + discard hand at same time. All for 2 cards?
And finally.... LIMIT BREAK TO 3!!!!!!!!!
==================
Well, my extra wish on ban list aside, this ban list has been pretty ladd and monarch and d hero consisting of the entire game. As to what will come out of the ban list, something strange always appears and goes in, so nothing new, like back when black hole came out and all that. So don't ask us even what ban card will come out besides what we mention. Just slap yourself, really.
Gadgets as we all agree, will remain untouched. No purpose to restrict to 2 set, too crap to restrict to 1, plus exodios will be there to refill deck anyway. So the only thing is for pple to play 3 rai-ou (Hi I got 3 for sale who wanna buy?), and pray konami really does something to earth smash. Though it wun really matter. Gadget can just play hammer shoot and stuff, since all their monsters are dirt small anyway.
As for monarchs, raiza is the only main irritating thing. Esp when you just need your monster to die like critter to search, and monsters for avarice, the list just goes on. This raiza, not only removes it as a 1 for 1, but it spoils every single darn plan. With it down sized, it should be abit more fun.
And finally LADD to 1, and hopefully gorz to 0. No more imbalance waiting for gorz to appear, then just sac 2. Hopefully alot lesser of diabolic remove, early burial disk guy, sac 2 for ladd, blah blah, ladd die, disk guy draw 2 again. Very boring leh!!! More variation lah?
And just final advertisement....
My machine guild is currently hiring for people to enter the guild and join the cyber-ryu! You will get a free 1 to 1 training session with the dai-ma-cyber-ou so what are you waiting for! Places are limited so sign up fast!

Speculation of banlist (01/09/2007)
it's Monday!!! Time for new post.
Note the word Speculation. Don't go all excited please. The official one would be released next week with the release of V Jump on the 21/9 (and Fortress Dragon!!111)
Banned:
Yomi frog
Too much abuse...
N Gran Mole
Eh this disgusting thing has a Yata feel to it.
Snatch Steal
Anything from old banlist don't need to be explained. I like this card alot though =(
Destruction Ring
Nothing much to comment... Same and Snatch Steal
Restrict to 1:
Tsukuyomi
No more Saint Magician, no more TES, dunno wtf is it doing inside..
Light and Darkness Dragon
Everyone's Beloved.
Wind Emperor Rizer
Probably the only Emperor to be restricted. Super strong effect.
Card Gunner
Looking at how everyone is using Machine Duplication and abuse.
Gravekeeper Spy
Blame Emperors again!
Ultimate Sealed God Exodios
Yesh I know it's still new but still pretty strong. Not referring to the win condition btw.
Metamorphose
Easy summon of fusion. Too easy...
Smashing Ground/Shrink/Reactive Armor
Unlikely, but when every beatdown deck packs 3...
Brain Control
I can't blame the Emperors, I blame how easy it is to summon them.
Advanced Ritual Technique
Demise, and using demise repeatedly is....
Dust Chute
Eh seeing opponent hand is gay.
Wall of Revealing Light
Stalling is gay.
Restrict to 2
Zombie master
I don't really see alot of Japanese or locals playing this, but self revive x3 is pretty gay.
Unrestricted
Protector of the Sanctuary
My comments will be simple, who the hell uses 3.
D.D Assailant
EE4 is coming lalala... I'm sure Konami would like more sales =P
Apprentice Magician
2 or 3 doesn't really matter does it...
Removed Wall of Revealing Light and added it to R to 1. What was I thinking, Stalling is bad!
=========================================
I'm abit biased, anything that's OTK components should be restricted =P Of course there are exceptions like when everyone is playing the same deck, obviously that card is not balanced. Think I put too many cards under the Restrict to 1 list lol.
It's really hard to tell what will be rotated out from the banlist. After all, they are inside for a reason. There really is nothing much to change. This banlist is boring. Always Emperor, LADD, random OTK decks. They should unban somethings to make it exciting. See how they unrestricted Lily and Nepthys, but I don't see anyone using 3 in the end lol.
Cards like Gadgets will probably be forever unrestricted. After LADD is restricted, everyone would probably revert back to gadgets. I dont't know how much effect Raiou is gonna have on Gadgets but I suspect it will be minimal. Smashing Ground/ Fissure put in the deck like free, you think Raiou will be around? lol.
Now what should I do with my Darkness Absorbing Magic Mirrors after LADD is gone... Next set please.
Update: Added more stuff that I'm unhappy about lol.

Today's Outing + Clarification of Raiou effect.
And today went out and collect my Raiou. Even though I have previously stated that Raiou is not that good lol.
Side track mode: Dueling Days Quiz 01b.
================================
Question: How tall is DSummon in terms of GX comics!!
================================
Answer: Here
This is photoshopped btw
=============================
Part 2 of post, don't wanna create a new post.
I shall clarify a few things, I will divide the effect for easier understanding.
http://home.att.ne.jp/moon/puppiy/rule/rule5/YG02-JP001.htm
---------------------------------------------
When this card is face up on your side of the field, both player can only add cards to the hand by drawing from the deck.
This is a continuous effect.
Simply put, any effect that causes cards to go to your hand from your deck and is not by drawing is negated. Simple term would be "to search" but there are other cards that go to your hand that is not by drawing or "searching".
Examples.
- Thunder Dragon
- Gadget series
- Airman
- Volcanic Bullet
- Goblin Zombie
- Sangan
- Senjyu/Manjyu God
- Crystal Fortune Teller *
- Magical Merchant *
- Cyber Jar *
- Painful Choice *
- Reinforcement of the Army
- Summoner's Skill
- Flute of Kuriboh
- Terra Forming
- Toon Index
* examples of cards added to hand by non searching/non drawing.
The list is getting pretty long, you more or less get the idea lah ok.
As long a card from your deck fly from you hand and it's not by drawing = throw away thanks. (By this I meant negated, not everything I say is to be taken literally)
---------------------------------------------
Also, you may send this card face up on the field to the grave to negate a special summon of one of your opponent's monster and destroy it.
Please note that this is worded differently from Royal Oppresion. Royal Oppresion has "negate a special summon or a card that special summons" So, this obviously cannot negate a card that special summons a monster, it can only negate the special summon itself.
This is a trigger effect. It can only negate special summon that doesn't use the chain block. Please don't start by asking me what a Chain Block is.
Example of monster special summon that doesn't use the chain block.
- Cyber Dragon, Fiend Gigacyber
- D Hero Bloo-D
- "Remove xxx to special summon this card" kind of monsters
- Exodios
To put it as simple as possible, I give you this very easy-to-remember guideline.
"Any special summon effect that I cannot negate using Divine Wrath, I can use Raiou!"
Now let's test how true is this.
- Cyber Dragon (√)
- Bloo-D (√)
- Chaos Sorcerer! (√)
√ = Can't be Divine wrath, can be Raiou.
Yay my theory is correct. I feel like a maths professor now =/
Yes I know I'm repeating myself, but there's only this much example... Which lowers the rating of this card even more lol...
Examples of what you cannot negate with Raiou.
- Phoenix of Nepthys revive effect.
- Vampire Lord revive effect.
- Hihi surprise! I cannot Raiou a Gorz!
- Suprise part 2!! LADD special summon effect belongs here too!
- The list is gonna be long again...
Btw these examples are those that you can use Divine Wrath to negate. =D
---------------------------------------------
I know it's a super long post and some confusion somewhere but I hope this article had helped. I already simplify to the max liao.
In the end, this is just the opposite of Death Calibur Knight. Death Calibur can negate LADD,Gorz and so on but not Cyber Dragon and friends. Which is better? You decide.
Btw my reference is the Japanese Expert Rules Site. You may follow the link provided on the left. What I have here is basically a summarised version and remixed with my crap.
Please note: Please tell me if there is any mistake. Don't be shy.

Dueling Days Quiz!?
Hello again everyone. We are bored, so we came up with ways to liven up the blog. Why a quiz? Well usually during this time of the year, there are tons of promos released. And I'm guilty of hogging all of them (Note: this is untrue, Bought 10 LADD shamelessly)
So being a nice person I decided to give away cards. Not exactly free, I demand entertainment. After some discussion with DS, he also loves to be entertained. No offense, but people do give stupid answers.
Here are some general guidelines.
1) We will come up with some fun Yugioh related questions
2) Answer and send to this email by deadline. DuelingDays@gmail.com
3) We pick a winner and you get a prize.
4) Prizez are coming out of our own pocket so please dont be a cb.
5) If you wish to donate money to sponsor prizes, welcome.
=========================================================
And so for our first quiz...
Everyone should check back on
Sunday 5th of August 2007 at 1800 hour (6 PM GMT +8!)
Look out for the question post. Why do this? Coz it's kinda like a speed contest, so this way everyone gets to see the question at the same time. For those who missed it, no worries, question will be left up lol. If you see it after the deadline... what can I say...
Ask more friends to join in and try yah. (Another shameless plot to raise visit counters)
Details for the specific quiz will be on the question post itself. Pray hard I don't forget to post on the above mentioned time LOL.
Comments on Tagboard please thanks.

DS: Point to note though, this contest will last only 6 hours, so dont come logging in only at 11pm and cry to us that you have not enough time to do the quiz ah. You have been forewarned!
As you guys know, we are pretty much of sadists here the 2 of us, so please feel free to entertain us. Even though this is not in the forum like my old quiz a year back, be ensured that we will mention anything strange answers we have gotten. Cruel? I don't care! At least we got some laughs out of it.
But seriously, provided that we can come up with good questions of course, we will carry on doing this kinda quiz thing in the future, so it will depend on your turn-out as well. We get a big crowd reacting, we will do it more. We see 3-4 emails..... Lets just say this will not happen very often in the future. So lets see some emails coming in yah?

UDE does it again!
Well, UDE has just made some new crazy cards which apparently some of the participants in the World Championship 2007 got. Not sure exactly who, but hey, not my place to say anything anyway. They are all none official duel playable, so don't get any big ideas of using them in the tournament, but hey. Slight note before you see them, these are all complimentary of Shriek's website, http://shriektcg.twoday.net/ This link even gives you the pictures to them, so why not take a look see? Meanwhile, here are the effects.
WCPS-EN700
Get Your Game on!
Continuous Spell Card
You can only play this card if you were present at the 2007 Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME World Championship. The ATK of all your "Elemental Hero" and "Neo-Spacian" monsters on the field is doubled.
Hmmmm, 3800 Atk Blume?? Even a 1800 Ground mole sounds too imbalance. Then of course you have 3600 atk imbalance airman, 5k attack Neos that you can just oversoul and sp summon, 6k atk Chaos Neos, simply crazy. Its not even base attack, just think of Shining Flame Wingman? Phew, like, 6k+ at least of crazy attacking power? I know a certain dog will be happy if this thing ever hit real playing status.
WCPS-EN701
Chimaera, The Master of Beasts
LIGHT/Beast - Effect/9/3000/3000
This card cannot be special Summoned. This card must be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 Beast-Type monsters on your side of the field. If this card attacks your opponent's Life Points directly and makes them 0, the controller of this card wins the Match.
Ultra Rare
WCPS-EN702
Emperor of Lightning
LIGHT/Thunder - Effect/8/2600/2600
This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card must be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 Thunder-Type monsters on your side of the field. If this card attacks your opponent's Life Points directly and makes them 0, the controller of this card wins the Match.
Ultra Rare
WCPS-AE703
Testament of the Arcane Lords
LIGHT/Spellcaster - Effect/10/3000/3000
This card cannot be special Summoned. This card must be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 Spellcaster-Type monsters on your side of the field. If this card attacks your opponent's Life Points directly and makes them 0, the controller of this card wins the Match.
Super Rare
Yupz, Just like you guys see it, 3 victory dragon wannabees. They have an even bigger attack, 3k, making it easier for the win. Not only that, the first one is of course the most crazy one, as its a beast type. Just think Flying squirrel, Rescue cat, simply too many easy ways to get 3 beasts on the field. Quite crazy IMO, but hey. Non official duel playable, so who am I to complain? Except.....
WHY NO MACHINE TYPE!?!?!?!
