Note : Blue Color = Different from Previous YU-GI-OH Ban/Restrict List
Comment : Again konami Restrict Future cards again, Lightsworn Deck is hard to play now not only you can use only 1 Judgment Dragon, Lumina and Solar Recharge got semi-limited (Also Light and Darkness Dragon got semi-limited before it release). But I really love them restrict Swing of Memory and Six Samurai Cards. In The Previous Season Six Samurai is very popular in Online Meta , Demise is also a popular cause a lot of event in this game using Single Duel Format you can’t counter them much, A lot of Demise style using Swing of Memory with Great Maju garzett or with The Calculator and Tricky for OTK Now it will weaker than before but still playable, Another thing I hate is Benkei and Gift Card. Now It’s back You can use 2 of it but with 3 Reckless Greed/2 Mage’s Power maybe we will face another benkei meta again. Gift Card also unrestrict look like We will face another Burn Meta (Simochi Burn). This Ban/Restrict List affect many meta deck but All of them still playable.

Arg, just Grandmaster limited to 2. Another season against f*** samourais :(
samurai Poy? lol this is ben kei season now -_-
and gift card season lol
You listed ‘Neo-Spacian Grand Mole’ on both the forbidden list and the limited list there swords
which is it ?
This new banned list broke my six samurai deck.;( And why they limited Soul Absorption ???I just dont get that …. 0_o
Well atleast breaker is back and that is cool ^^
I’m blur a little bit It’s still ban, I fix it already thanks, If you find some mistake let me know.
These Rules extremely Lamest i ever Seen
Konami Doesnt Know to Make a Good Restricted List This is the Lamest Stupid LIst i ever Seen
i think they limited soul absorption to prevent returned from play rushes that dark decks can launch
better get out my magic cylineder and dim. wall cuz ben kia gunna be rampant already faced 4 today
So gay!
ben kei’s back…wooot!!!! I hate u konamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
soul absorbtion can be used to pump 7500 lp in a single move, pump 3 souls on the field use soul release to drop 5 thats a boost of 7500 to your lp, use banashir of life and needle worm to shave there deck and thats another 7500, use that whole concept with cyberstien you can fusion summon to your hearts extent.
Damn. Swing of Memories got nerfed to one. That makes it harder for me get out onto the field and back off in a single turn…
Ah, well. Snipe Hunter and Raigeki Breaks will work nearly as well, combined with Mystic Tomatoes.
seriousely WTF comes up with this crap !!!!!!!!
Wow, for the first time ever I haven’t had to change my deck whatsoever. That’s a good sign.
I feel that this list sucks. If Konami wants to defend itself, it should kindly take the pains to explain why these cards are made forbidden. (seriously why create these card nyways?? hehe)
This ban only affected my cyber dragon deck so it’s ok to me
these cards were not banned when they were made they were banned after a while and finding how strong they are
so konami keeps them banned and make a new card like them but with a side effect like rigiki and lightning vortex
monster reborn and premuture or call of the hunted
meta game sucks thats all i have to say =P
This fking ruin my deck i have Dark world deck i need one snatch steal but noo!!! i hate this ruls why!!! :@@@@@
Why isn’t the Banned/Restricted list the same as in real life?
id play 3 gorz but no, they HAVE to restrict him
man, gorz is sum sikk card
Lol i hope this list is right xD
i concurr with pretty much most of your statements. this is overly retarded. konami makes cards that are so fucking good, and then runs out of ideas for good cards and later on, makes shitty cards, or less good cards and to make them seem good, ban the shitty cards from tournaments
its like whats the point of having a fucking mouth if you cant talk???
I hate this but now it is 2010
