New Deck Profiles

Just an update here, with the new banlist being confirmed you can expect some more deck profiles to be coming out from us here at The Heart of the Cards Yu-Gi-Oh! Blog.

Official March 2013 Banlist and thoughts

Here is the link to the banlist source.

For those of you who are too lazy to click on the link here is what it tells us.

Banned:

Wind-up Carrier Zenmaity
Sangan

Limited:

Wind-up Magician
One Day of Peace
Solemn Warning

Semi-Limited:

Thunder King Rai-oh
Tsukuyomi
Advanced Ritual Art

Unlimited:

Spore
Blackwing - Kalut the Moonshadow
Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner
Shien's Smoke Signal
Mind Crush

This banlist didn't hit a lot of the things I expected and is also pretty different than what a lot of people predicted. The only deck really hit by this is wind-ups, which most people did predict. Sangan was hit in my mind because tour guide was too powerful and sangan itself was too powerful so Konami was able to hit 2 birds with 1 stone in this case. Solemn warning is a good card to limit in my mind because it was able to shut down way to many decks. I like seeing Lumina and Kalut unlimited. Blackwings and Lightsworn are 2 super fun decks and I would love to see them back in the meta but we probably won't see that unless a couple more of their cards come back. The last card I want to talk about it One Day of Peace, I am so happy this card is limited, it was just way too annoying to play against in exodia decks. Overall I am happy with this banlist.

March 2013 Banlist Leak?

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

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
