Ban List is Out

What is your opinion on the New Ban List.
Not sure if I like this one.

i dont like how the only thing they did to limit monarchs is limiting brain but i still wish they would ban treeborn but 2 crossouts will help that... and having breaker back will be awsome

I'm very happy with this list. Almost every problem I saw with last format was corrected, though MoF's return and Crossout to two creates a couple new ones. I'm not especially happy to see Breaker either, but I would much rather deal with him than Ring or Snatch.

I think I like it. But any desire to play ygo for me was pretty much killed by what happened at indy.

Skilled format, sweet! 0-3 drop for the next 3 regionals.

Anyways, yeah. Gadgets will hopefully get me to top 8. Avarice at 2 and Transmigration at 1 gives infinite Solemns.

At this point I'm thinking I like the format. It gets back to what the game started out to be....monsters slugging it out. With Smashing, Fissure, and Snipe Hunter down to 1 copy as well as Brain Control and Creature Swap....plus Snatch Steal and Ring being gone, it looks like Konami wanted more monster to monster battles taking place rather than a destroy by card effect or take control & attach on an open field scenario. Indeed it's a face up monster friendly enviroment, I expect Sakuretsu Armor / BTH to make comebacks.

Trap Dustshoot had to be limited, it's over use was getting to the ridiculous point. Confiscation is out of the hand control loop as well. With these gone the hand control options are much deminished.

I was, as many, a little disappointed that Monarchs weren't limited in some way but you can't have it all <shrug>

I found one of the more interesting changes to be D.D. Assialant being taken off the list <sees Shawn reassembling his Warrior deck> The other thing that should be interesting is to see if people begin using Good Goblin Housekeeping.

What is it that happened at GenCon that you didn't approve of Mitch?

Last night I put some more detailed thought into my opinion on the list and posted it here. I encourage people to have a look and contribute, as there's potential for another very interesting discussion. I am also curious as to what happened by the way Mitch.....
