Ban List Possible Additions

Sorry for the delay guys, but I had to go to the Dominican Republic for a few days to visit my girlfriend. However, I'm back, and it seems that some serious news has been revealed about the September 2012 Ban List. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Shriek posted a picture of a Japanese magazine detailing the contents of the new Ban List. Some notable decks were hit HARD this format, and now people are looking towards Return of the Duelist and Abyss Rising to find a new deck that will dominate. Here's what will supposedly get listed;


Banned:
Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (Saw it coming, same thing with Trishula)
Future Fusion (Goodbye Dragons)

Limited:
Inzektor Dragonfly
Inzektor Hornet (Inzektors you will be dearly missed)
Chaos Sorcerer (Interesting...)
Spore (Plant comeback??)
Tsukuyomi (Unbanned, what will happen now?)
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (Dragons you had a good run, but now your screwed)
Evigishki Gustkraken (Gishkis weren't even used, so the point in this is beyond me)
Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaighty (No more Wind-Up hand drops! Thank you Konami)
Ultimate Offering (I guess to slow down Gadgets?)

Semi-Limited:
Rescue Rabbit (Slows the deck down a little bit, but will still be a problem)
The Agent of Mystery - Earth (Agents will be making a comeback, just a little slower now)
Debris Dragon (no comment)
Blackwing, Kalut the Moon Shadow (Blackwings also coming back?)
Tour Guide from the Underworld (Wind-Ups are now slower them ever :-))
E-Emergency Call (Hero's are still going to dominate, even with one less searcher)
Pot of Duality (Everyone plays two anyway unless they play play Chain Burn)
Hieratic Seal of Convocation (Slows down the Hieratic OTK a little bit)
A Hero Lives (I don't use it personally, but it may hurt some HERO players)
Reasoning (no comment)

No Longer Listed:
Necro Gardna (Lightsworn comeback)
Marshmallon (They see me stalling, they hatin')
Emergency Teleport (Psychics are gonna go fast)
Destiny Draw (May help those Exodia decks)
Level Limit Area-B (Ugh this card makes me scoop)
Swords of Revealing  Light (Stall much?)
Magic Cylinder (Burn with a vengeance)


It looks the method behind this format was to bring back decks that previously dominated, and take away or slow down the current decks of today. I can say with certainty that Inzektors and Wind-Ups will be taken off the market with this list, as key cards have been hit, so is to make the deck very hard to play. A shocker was Dragons, as there is an entire Structure Deck dedicated to them, but I guess the deck was too broken. Surprisingly Dark-Worlds didn't get hit, but they are easily stopped. Dino-Rabbit will be significantly slower, with the Main Card at two. HEROS will manage with only two E-Calls, and two Hero Lives. Hieratics will not go off as easily but they are easily stopped. My real concern is directed towards the comeback of Agents, as they were a formidable deck, and with the main engine coming back soon, we can all but wonder the results. But all in all it may be what this community needs to pick up different decks and bring back excitement to your game. See you next time. :-)
