March 2012 Format: What should be hit?

I can't believe we're only now half-way through the format, and for the second half, it's more of the same. All we're getting is a Six Samurai Xyz and Gem-Knight Pearl between now, and September. I personally don't count sets that come out right before the next list. With that said, I can safely predict the September 2012 banlist!

So what should be hit? I really think that the format is really bad. We have a deck that has EVERYTHING to support it, and it destroys your opponent's stuff one card at a time just to get into your life points. Once one card goes off, the whole thing goes off, and it's very annoying! Next, we have a swarming high ATK beater powerhouse! The player that uses Future Fusion in that deck and has it resolve has a 90% chance of winning the duel. And finally, we have a deck that somehow finds a way to win with it's Evolzar Xyz's. As for the under looked deck, we have a deck that's theoretically unbeatable!

I will now go over what cards should be banned, limited, etc. and why. Please note that this is just my opinion (with a few facts) and I'm sure that I will be wrong on most of this stuff.

Banned

Future Fusion: Did I just mention that whoever plays it essentially wins? If you did and you lost, you must be a total scrub. Not to mention that this card is very universal, meaning that the card can be used in multiple decks and can still be very effective. Go ahead! Kill my Jinzo/Machina combo! I just want the Chaos Dragon crap to end!

Wind-Up Zenmaines: This card is the ONLY reason why Tour guide is so broken and expensive these days. I'm very aware of the fact that it has some holes that make this card not as broken, but it doesn't matter. The fact that you get a turn 1 card that has 3 lives and it destroys a card each time it loses a life(s). Japan, you've had this card long enough to know how broken it is! It's time for this Zenmotherfucker to get it's ass banned!

Limited

Inzektor Hornet: This card right here is the only reason that it's too broken for words. I can't say ban it because it's used in pretty much one deck. If they limit this card, then they probably won't hit the rest of the deck. I'd be very surprised if this card and Dragonfly got hit in a way. Either way. How many games have you won/lost because of this card? Exactly! Hornet shouldn't be at 3.

Rescue Rabbit: I will say this. I want luck to be a major factor in making this card really broken. I want people to abuse Gold Sarcophagus to have this card in possession. If this card doesn't get hit along with the rest of the decks, then this deck will dominate once again. Not much else to say about hitting this card. If at anytime one card leads to a free Solemn Judgment effect, it needs to get touched.

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon: It's really annoying that this card can call up a huge Dragon from your hand or Graveyard. Sometimes, if you negate it with Effect Veiler or Fiendish Chain, another one will just get Special Summoned by Banishing the negated one. Not to mention that this card is the reason that Lightpulsar Dragon is so broken right now, because we have access to up to 3 of this card. I'd want this card banned, but as you may know, Konami will promote another FTK before they try to ban it.


Royal Oppression: This card can come out of the closet. I want this at 2, but it won't happen. Although I think this card will come back at 1, it won't solve too much as we're already maining at least 2 MST's, which kills this card upon paying the life points for it's effect's activation. With all of the Special Summoning going on right now, we need something to put that in check, and a couple of Solemn Warnings won't do everything.

One Day of Peace: At most YCS events, at least one deck that stalls opponents and wins by another method rather than taking the opponent's life points down to 0 has been doing well in the event. If you've seen the top 16 Philly deck, you'll know why I put this card on the list. The deck is theoretically unbeatable! It's a cheap ticket to an invite if played right. For this card's concept, both players draw a card, and you take no damage until your next turn. That's what makes these kind of decks stupid!

Super Polymerization: With Elemental HERO Escuridao on it's way here in August, it's time that HERO decks got hit a little. This means that this card can fuse with ANYTHING and an Elemental HERO monster! With that, we need some balance for the future meta. For mirror matches, it will take much more skill to get the most use out of what I think will be a single Super Polymerization. It's not that Escuridao is a good card or anything. It's just that Super Poly will make it and any HERO deck really broken.

Semi-Limited

Tour Guide From the Underworld: This will shut the absolute necessity of this card up! You get the effect once, then it's done! This should make the Turn 1 Tour Guide get Tour Guide play be much smarter due to the lack of Tour Guide #3. This means your Sangan should be able to search peacefully instead of being imprisoned by an Xyz monster. If Zenmaines also gets banned with this card's semi-limit, then I will be happy that this card is not a necessity anymore!

Miracle Fusion: It's a really good card, but the free Fusion monsters should chill out just a little bit. I think HERO players should be happy that I'm even predicting this. This is because you'll get one extra space for your deck, and you'll still have enough Miracle Fusions to live on.

Lonefire Blossom: No Spore or Glow-Up Bulb? Why is this card limited? Lets make some creative Plant decks that don't Synchro a lot! If this card goes up to 2, I'll bring back Gigavise!

Mirror Force: This is my call for Konami's non-sober move to adjust the semi-limited list in some way possible. I'll laugh so hard if I call this right

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier: Why not? Synchro's aren't as good anymore, and no more priority. I wouldn't be surprised if this hit 3 because of the reprint.

Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow: This one's pretty random, but damnit! Give Blackwings at least one more good card!

No Longer Limited

Marshmallon: Just another card that climbs out of the list. I don't think it's that good anymore.

Level Limit - Area B: No good anymore. Xyz's made this card worse.

And that's that! I hope you enjoyed reading this piece of shit I call my September 1st banlist prediction! Lets hope I get at least a B grade on when the answer key arrives then. For now, enjoy the shitty ass meta, and hope it doesn't get shittier in a few months!
