March 2013 Banlist Leak?

There is a supposed banlist leak. Here is the link to a video with info on it.

MARCH 2013

新禁止 (Ban)

六武の門 /Gateway of the Six
血の代償 /Ultimate Offering

新制限 (Limited)

レスキューラビット /Rescue Rabbit
深海のディーヴァ /Deep Sea Diva
魔界発現世行きデスガイド /Tour Guide From the Underworld
ゼンマイマニュファクチャ /Wind-Up Factory
墓穴の道連れ /Dragged Down into the Grave
神の警告 /Solemn Warning
ゴヨウ・ガーディアン /Goyo Guardian

ゼンマイマジシャン/Wind-Up Magician
ゾンビキャリア/Plaguespreader Zombie
ローンファイア・ブロッサム/Lonefire Blossom
サイクロン/Mystical Space Typhoon
炎舞－「天幾」/Fire Formation - Tenki
月の書/Book of Moon
真六武衆しんろくぶしゅう－シエン/Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En

制限解除 (No longer)

ＢＦ－月影のカルート/Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow
ライトロード・サモナー ルミナス/Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner
月読命ツクヨミ/Tsukuyomi
スケープ・ゴート/Scapegoat
紫炎の狼煙/Shien's Smoke Signal


If this banlist is correct then there is a couple things we can predict about the meta. First of all Six-Samurai's will either stay the same or improve. With Goyo Returning, 2 Shi En's, and 3 smoke signals; they become very powerful but they did lose there opening turn with Gateway of the Six. So Really they lost their OTK potential but gained a few cards to make up for that.

Return of Lightsworn and Blackwing? I really hope this is the beginning of the return of both of these decks. Blackwing would be especially great since it hasn't done anything in the meta for a while and it was one of the most fun decks to play. The next thing I would ask for is Blackwhirlwind to 2, they may not even need that though.

Dino Rabbit is hit pretty hard, but can it survive? Even though Rabbit and Tour Guide are at 1, I think this deck is still viable and will continue to be played but the deck won't be as overpowered.

Dragged Down into the Grave at 1? I hate this card and would be fine with banning it but in all honesty, bringing it to 1 was probably enough.

Overall I like this banlist and think it will be a healthy change for the game.

Response to Other's March 2013 Predictions

With the March 2013 banlist right around the corner I've been doing a lot of reading on what others are predicting.  Some of their thoughts are great but others are just out of the question so here are my thoughts on some cards that i think we will see changes to in the next banlist.

Cyber-Stein to Limited

With everything that is available to stop him now ex: Solemn, Veiler, Fiendish Chain.  You could pay the 5000 and get no gain.  

Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Beginning stays Limited

This card isn't that broken, like everyone says.  They also knocked Chaos Sorcerer down to one to combat its return.  I feel like it is pretty evened out.

Gateway of the Six stays Limited

Six Samurai is a powerful deck, but the deck got hit pretty hard when Shi En was moved to limited. Since you can only have one i don't feel like it is too powerful. Its also just a continuous spell which can be easily destroyed with MST or Lyla.

Premature Burial to Limited while Monster Reborn moves to Banned

Monster Reborn is a card that i love to use, but its so damn overpowered.  Special summon a monster from either players graveyard at no cost? That's just to much.  At least with Premature Burial the monster has to be from your graveyard and you have to pay 800 LP. You can also destroy Premature Burial and destroy the monster it special summons. 

Lightpulsar Dragon to Limited

Way too overpowered of a dragon. To be able to have 3 is just to many.  I've played against Chaos Dragons enough to know that this is one of their most powerful cards.  It is able to be summoned from the hand or graveyard and whenever it is sent from the field to the grave you can special summon a lv 5 or higher dark dragon. You could have a Red eyes Darkness summoned with this ability and Lighpulsar would come right back onto the field .  Just too strong to have it stay unlimited.

Decks that I feel will get hit hard

Wind-ups- Shark will most likely get limited

Rescue Rabbits- Rabbit will get limited

Dark World- Most of the decks main cards will get limited or semi limited

Deck to get tiered

Fire Kings- If you have ever dueled this deck you probably will hate it.

Vylon- as crazy as it sounds I've dueled this deck and it isn't half bad

Decks we could do without

   Today I would like to talk about the decks that Yu-Gi-Oh could do without. The decks that if all of the cards in the world that belong to these decks burned, we could celebrate. In my mind there are 3 of these decks that truly ruin the game. They are annoying, no fun to battle, and are simple enough that any unskilled player can manage to win over a skilled player with using. So here I am begging Konami, please please please hit these decks on this next banlist.

1. Dark Worlds - The single most annoying deck to ever exist. This deck can win a game in 1 turn just by using Card Destruction. I sometimes have to sit and wait 5 minutes for a dark world deck to pull out all of it's cards because there turns last forever. I want to flip the table every time someone plays Dragged Down. If Konami was only going to hit 1 deck this format, I would hope it would be Dark Worlds.

2. Exodia -  I know this deck isn't that overpowered, but it is still very annoying. Usually you only get a couple of turns to kill the person before they have all of the pieces, and most of those turns you can't do any damage anyways because the opponent used One Day of Peace or have a Waboku. I am not saying this deck should be banned, but some of the cards that prevent the other player from attacking should be hit. One Day of Peace is probably the one that should be hit the hardest.

3. Any deck that uses a ton of back-row cards that prevent the opponent from doing anything - I can not tell you how annoying it is when an opponent just continuously spams you with anti-summoning or anti-effect traps. These cards ruin the game. How am I supposed to do anything when I am not allowed to get any monsters on the field because the opponent has a bunch of trap cards that prevent me from doing any summoning. Konami should either hit a shit ton of trap cards or give me another heavy storm so I can do it myself.

What deck profile would you like to see?

March 2013 Banlist predictions

Here is my guess on a few of the cards that will change on the Banlist come this March. Feel free to comment with your thoughts!

Forbidden

Monster Reborn - This card is very over powered and is a staple in pretty much everything so I'm guessing Konami will do away with it in order to make some cards that require costs more common.

Card Destruction - Since Dark World's are so high in the OCG right now this card will more than likely be one of the cards hit since it can basically win the game for the deck.

Limited

Wind-Up Shark - This card is a XYZ beast, the deck can still be playable with only 1 and will more than likely still be a top tier so taking down to 1 is more than likely.

Dragged Down into the Grave - Again with the Dark Worlds here, this card is just too plain good to have at 3, it's also annoying as all hell to play against.

Card Trooper - This card can be used in so many decks and is a great way to get cards in the graveyard but the extra draw effect at the end makes it a little OP, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see this.

Update: Rescue Rabbit - I initially kept this off of my list because I hope it does not get hit. This deck is not that incredibly powerful and is a great deck for a budget player. However, a lot of people dislike this deck and feel that it is to powerful so I would not be surprised if this card was hit.

Semi-Limited

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind - I say this only because when Blackwings were hit by the ban list, it was one of the only decks that could swarm the field easily and make OTK's possible. Looking at what we have in the meta right now bringing back Gale to semi-limited wouldn't make this deck over-powered and it was a very popular deck so I'm sure Konami wouldn't mind bringing it back. Another reason I say this is because there is some speculation that a Blackwing or two will be coming out with the new Cosmo Blazer packs and this could mean a return of Blackwings! (Fingers crossed it's true)

Heavy Storm - Call me crazy, but I think this is a very plausible idea. With all the back-row cards being played right now (Solemn Warning, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute and a few others) I could see this card being brought to two in order to speed up the game. All these trap cards are simply getting annoying and are slowing down the game and in my opinion ruining it. But rather than limiting or banning some of these cards, why not just bring in another heavy storm to try to speed things back up.
