A Rough Banned List for September 2011

I originally typed out my official banned list wants and explanations. Unfortunately my computer froze and it got deleted. So for right now I will write out a rough banned list of my initial thoughts for the September 2011 Format. After YCS Indy and the World Championships I will post a final banned list and explanations for my choices. Anyway here is what my rough thoughts and wants are:

Banned

Tech Genus Hyper Librarian - in an extensive synchro deck lots of advantage is gained
Monster Reborn - this card wins games
Giant Trunade -  this card also wins games
Royal Tribute - this card can win games if played first turn and you deplete a significant amount of monsters

Limited

Formula Synchron - the draw from this card is too good and synchro summoning a Black Rose on your opponent's turn can be fatal
Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier - It is at 1 in the OCG so it is going to 1 in the TCG because it is a boss
Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En - this card is a Six Samurai boss that negates spells and traps and more than one on the field is a nightmare
Superancient Deepsea King Coelecanth - this is a boss that spams the field with lots of synchro summons
Fishborg Blaster - this card makes a Formula every turn with Treeborn Frog and it comes back for frequent synchro summons
Pot of Avarice - this card recycles your best cards and some cards should not be recycled...
Double-Edged Sword Technique - this card allows for an instant synchro summon or beatdown for Six Samurais
Shien's Smoke Signal - limiting this card will limit the instances Shi En will appear first turn
Six Samurai United - this card is a Pot of Greed and like Pot of Greed should be at 1
Master Hyperion - multiple Hyperions on the field can win a game (even one Hyperion wins games)
Gravekeeper's Spy - this is the main engine of Gravekeepers and should be hit since Recruiter cannot be hit
Heavy Storm - this card requires more skill and brain processing to properly utilize, compared to Giant Trunade, and this will also invoke fear into every player resulting in players not setting their entire hand turn 1
Ultimate Offering - this card spams so many synchro and exceed monsters, especially in Gadgets in the OCG (soon the TCG if this card isn't hit)
Super Polymerization - I will actually go into detail about this choice. First of all this card can't be negated so activating it is deadly. Secondly, by the beginning of October we will have in our TCG Elemental Heroes Gaia, Absolute Zero, The Shining, Nova Master and Great Tornado. Hero decks can abuse this card by stealing almost any significant monster the opponent plays and using it as fusion material for one of the above 5 fusion monsters. Additionally this card can enable a successful Dragon-Knight Draco-Equeste and possibly Supreme Arcanite Magician.

Semi-Limited

Royal Oppression - special summons win numerous games and something other than Solemn Warning should exist to defend against multiple special summons
Pot of Duality - this card sets up deadly combos and should be brought to 2 (unfortunately I don't think Konami will do this because they want to gain profit from the Collector Tins)
Reborn Tengu - the most broken floater of all time (this card probably won't be hit either because it is a TCG Exclusive)

These are my initial thoughts. When all the big tournaments remaining are finished I will present a final draft of my thoughts.

  2. T.G. librarian goes from 3-0? That hasn't happened since substitoad and that's 100x more broken than librarian.People only run 1 Librarian anyway so banning would make no sense. Royal tribute is what keeps GKs alive i don't see why they would hit a non-tier one deck anyway.I don't know why heavy storm would ever come back it's just broken. Now monster reborn would most likely be banned its been on and off the ban list for like 2 years. There is no reason why formula should get limited not everyone can use it and why hit formula when you can hit a lonfire and break the shooting quazar dragon combo? The fact that the deepsea king would be limited would cripple fish OTK beyond repair. Why would they hit shi-en when they could just hit a kageki/Kagemusha? Those are the things that bring out a shi-en, if you hit those then your problems with shi-en are solved. Tengu won't be semi-limited it's currently a TCG exclusive and as you already know TCG follows the OCG ban list, with no tengu released in OCG there is no possibility that tengu would get hit until next year's march ban list unless they make an emergency ban.
