The ban list

Ok guys it's blog time again and this time I'm going to talk about the new ban list. This years ban list is quite... odd and I will explain why.

Let's start off with the cards in order.

BANNED

DARK STRIKE FIGHTER
Understandable, it's blackwing build and been getting to high in the meta, i kinda saw this coming.

CARD OF SAFE RETURN
Once again understandable because of all the zombie deck that can abuse this card but I felt leaving it at one was safe.

MONSTER REBORN
Revival power over both graveyards, why did they bring it back anyways?

CRUSH CARD VIRUS
Once again abused to easily these days.

LIMITED

BLACKWING - GALE THE WHIRLWIND
It's messing with me meta, simple.

MIND MASTER
I don't understand this one as all, psychic's are already useless, now they are completely useless.

RESCUE CAT
I saw this one coming for a long time now, not surprised.

SUMMONER MONK
Same as above.

BLACK ROSE DRAGON
This one toke me by surprise, why? I don't understand at all, plant deck's ain't that high in the meta and most people don't like clearing fields with nothing to defend them with.

DEMISE, KING OF ARMAGEDDON
Stranger and stranger... why again? it's not like this guy has seen the meta for a long time and now he never will.

COLD WAVE
Oh god I hate this card, thank god it's at one, it's to annoying to be at three or even two. I see lightsworn failing a bit more.

MIND CONTROL
Syncros, easy to abuse, nothing to see here.

ONE FOR ONE
Now this is random... who made this ban list? I have nothing for it...

CALL OF THE HAUNTED
Every format needs a revival card and we have this one, It's an attempt at slowing the game down but this can be used in you opponents turn, I guess we will have to see.

SOLEMN JUDGMENT
Yes, I'm am so happy that this card is at one. People always say "It's not broken, It's not broken" well for a card that seem to fit in almost EVERY DECK I'd say that comes pretty close...

SEMI-LIMITED

CHAOS SORCERER
I can't see this card being used in any meta deck any time soon but we will have to see.

LONEFIRE BLOSSOM
I remember when plants were nothing and people said that type will never see that meta... this proves that plants are head for the meta.

MEZUKI
With card of safe return gone it seem only fair that he comes back.

BOTTOMLESS TRAP HOLE
An awesome card in an awesome format.... Kinda saw it coming...

Unlisted

BREAKER THE MAGICAL WARRIOR
At three... what the hell, he normally get's banned... I'm interested to see how this plays out in the future

D. D. WARRIOR LADY
RAIZA THE STORM MONARCH
DESTINY DRAW
the rest

Same as above

This years ban list has proved quite... different from what I'm use to but I am interested to see what decks take the meta in the format which seems like a very slow one.
