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?

Hey guys, we just hit 400 views and I am wondering what deck profiles people are interested in. comment and let me know!

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.
