March banlist (wall of text warning)


As March begins to close in, so does the march format. This one is gonna be an interesting one. Alot of decks in play that are susceptible to be whacked by the banhammer of Konami. I'll go ahead and post mine as well:

Banned:

Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning
Mind Control
Dandylion
Heavy Storm

Limited:

Goyo Guardian
Tour Guide From the Underworld
Wind-Up Zemaighty
Royal Oppression
Agent Of Creation: Venus
Rescue Rabbit
Giant Trunade
Daigusto Emerald

Semi-Limited

Master Hyperion
Book of Moon
Mystical Space Typhoon
Solemn Judgment
Inzektor Dragonfly

Unlimited
No Change

Black Luster Solder EotB:
No explanation need for this monster of a card. Its an 1 card otk with either armory arm or honest. Its capable of changing the outcome of a game easily. It can be reborned after being correctly summoned. Genex Ally Triforce can summon this card for free. Its too easy to summon and barely has limits on it.

Mind Control:
It wins games. Its almost as bad as brain control but you just cant attack with it. With the exceed engine in play, This has been getting abuse like crazy.

Dandylion:
Does this really need explaining?? Tour guide tengu plant decks love this card. Its not gonna kill the deck but definitely slow down the synchro stuff its capable of enabling.

Heavy Storm:
Every format konami switches trunade and storm. No different this time either.

Goyo Guardian:
Something probably not gonna happen. Big generic level 6 synchro that specials a defeated monster in defense on your field. With the game the way it is, it wouldn't be as overpowered as it used to be. We have warning now and easily avail. We shall see konami

Tour Guide From the Underworld:
This card has alone defined the TCG format. This card has been every deck that was won a YCS since Providence back in June. Im sure its been in every top 8 deck since release. Its time to hit every YCS winning decklist.

Wind-Up Zenmaighty:
Its the heart of the wind-up hand loop deck following hunter. Why not touch hunter?? Hunter is on good for the hand loop and exceeding. . For the most part, it stops the hand loop dead in its tracks.

Royal Oppression:
Something that should have never been banned in the 1st place. The main reason it was banned was because Konami has never liked the  "one card that stops everything" type of card. This is a perfect example of that concept. Special summoning at an all-time high. We could use some control again.

Agent of Creation Venus:
This card is a big part of the deck for agents and TG agents. It special summons shine balls and the deck begins to start the combos. Its also a level 3 monster so it becomes a leviair material after running out of shine balls. Plain and simple, its a searchable enabler.

Rescue Rabbit:
In its release, it single-handed created a control deck that abuses vanillas. Something that had not seen alot play in a very long time. This deck brought them back to light and began to win too! The reason for its limited status on my list is because theres always leviair to recycle it.

Giant Trunade:
See Heavy Storm.

Daigusto Emerald:
Pot of avarice is one, why shouldnt this be. This card is capable of put back up to 6 cards and drawing 2. Now compared to avarice, its slower because of the once per turn limit but its also a monster. I think this could be one of those cases where the TCG won't even get to experience it completely. 

Master Hyperion:
Its a dark armed dragon for the agent theme. While alot of people believe structure deck only cards will not get it. I think this one could break the mold in this case. Top decking this card has won games. Not to mention, agents won this past world championship. Im sure this card had a hand in it.

Book of  Moon:
Something we could all use. A card to control the field. Seeing that inzektors are running things like crazy. This provides some defense against it.It can also be used as an offensive card too. The supposed reason it was limited was because Kevin Tewart felt that the players weren't using it "correctly". Completely disagree with that but.... oh well.

Mystical Space Typhoon:
This card at 3 was excessive. 2 was fine at the time. Most decks don't even main the 3rd. Its usually sitting in the side deck.


Solemn Judgment:
Now I know I'm gonna looked at differently for this one. With warning at 2, why put this at 2 as well. It gives players options. Of course, I don't see this happening but its Konami. Anything is possible with them.

Inzektor Dragonfly:
This card starts the loop that pluses so much in the deck. I'm sure we all know the loop or have seen it. Not much explanation needed.

With that wall o' text completed, let me know what you guys think well be in store for in with the banlist nearing release.

Thanks for reading.
