Ban-List March 2013 - Chad's wild speculations.

Just thought I'd make a post on what changes I'd expect to see on the the Ban Listing Starting March 2013:

Please note that while it may 

Banned

    Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity - Konami needs to sink Wind-Up OTK. When they do, the praise will be sung to the Duel Spirits! Seriously, this is why I bring origami paper with me: If I'm to sit for 20 minutes, I want to be able to amuse myself, or create an origami knife and deliver a player 'death by 1000 paper cuts" after they are done...
 
Limited

    Wind-Up Magician - Too fast for konami's Desired Metagame. Also too fast for my desired Metagame as well. Konami has done what all non-Wind-Up deck-players have prayed for: Killed the Wind-Up (Solitaire) OTK. Said it already, this is why I bring origami paper with me.

    Rescue Rabbit - He isn't as broken as Rescue Cat was, but people using abusing this card to instantly special summon Laggia/Dolkka. Dino Rabbits can still run 3 "Gold Sarcophagus", 3 "Jurrac Guaiba", "3 Jurrac Velo", and 2x "Tour Guide of the Underworld" to spam Leviair anyways. Also abusable in Evilswarms, Dragons, Machines, and Warriors.

    Tragoedia - He's pretty splash-able, being able to Special Summon himself whenever you take battle damage, then borrow steal an opponent's monster, and xyz/synchro just about anything you want. He'll be better at one, like his close cousin Gorz, than at 2.

    Atlantean Marksman/Heavy Infantry/Dragoons - Atlantean-Mermails are starting to annoy me tbh. tbh, they will probably leave them be so we can have something to bitch about. DCM, I'm looking at you when I say this.

    Torrential Tribute - Like "Bottomless Trap Hole" (no immature bum joke here), Torrential Tribute is more powerful now that Ignition Priority is revoked. Konami seems to be trying to slow the Meta-game for Old-Tooth sods like myself. No Butts about it, Torrential Tribute is the most likely to be hit due to the mass clearing effect.

    Miracle Fusion - If this isn't limited it should at least be semi-limited. Summoning or Elemental Hero Shining Neos from your extra deck by banishing monsters from your grave makes no sense; what did the heroes do in life to deserve a post-humerus banishment/expulsion from the Elemental Heroes? Then there is  Shining's second effect, which allows you to take those monsters back to your hand, and then use polymerization to recreate Shining Neos if it's destroyed and sent to your grave.

    Semi-Limited

Tsukuyomi - With Wind-Up OTK rendered as impotent as the residents of a Retirement home, it should be safe to re-introduce this card back into the Metagame. Wind-up decks need something to fill the hole that the -2 x Wind-Up Magicians will leave.

Thunder King Rai-Oh - It will be cut down to 2. Konami will most likely want one last format dominated by Six-Samurai (and revive Harpies too) so they can sell more of the upcoming "Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy" Booster sets. Then they will hit them in the next banlist so everyone will buy more cards for a new deck. How do I buy shares in them? After Six-Sams are cut down in September, they will re-instate this anti-6-sam/effect monster to 3.

No Longer Restricted:

Shien's Smoke Signal - Konami will most likely want one last format dominated by Six-Samurai so they can sell more of the upcomming "Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy" Booster sets. These Sci-fantasy badasses are a major scam from Konami favoured archtype amongst the Weeabo sub-fanbase.

Summary:

Konami will ban to maximize profits March 2013: They kill Wind-Ups, and allow Six-Samurai, Atlantean Mermails and Harpies to rule the game. Konami profits, Kev profits, and the wind-up players rebuild or ragequit.

That's the Chad's picks, what are yours?
