Baiting out September...

[IC3R]

Then its certainly not being able to understand the new text.

I suppose I'm simply confounded that another person does not understand the new text as easily as I do. Perhaps that is my fault...

And not to risk being off-topic:

Although unlikely, here is what I am predicting for September:

Banned:

Monster Reborn- This is completely acceptable;
Future Fusion- Yes, it does often contribute to OTK's due to its controlled mill;
Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning- It is certainly a powerful chaos monster, and I can see its re-banning to allow DMoC back into the game;
Wind-Up Hunter- On the fence with this one, really think limiting either Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity or Wind-Up Rat is enough to kill the loop;
Sangan- Eh... maybe;

Limited:

Dark Magician of Chaos- Though unlikely (as you stated), this card would be interesting to see come back simply because of the Spellcaster support coming up. However, the Spell-retrieval ability is actually VERY powerful, despite Monster Reborn being removed from the list;
Lightpulsar Dragon- Actually tested this myself, finding a limiting of Lightpulsar Dragon superfluous in slowing down Chaos Dragons after banning Future Fusion and limiting Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (which I feel should be done instead of semi-limiting it);
Wind-Up Rat- Banning Hunter would make this unnecessary, in my opinion. However, I would agree to a limit on Rat if Hunter were left untouched;
Royal Oppression- This really should come back? No;
Glow-Up Bulb- I'd rather have Spore back as the self-resurrecting plant tuner, far less abused;

Semi-Limited:

Inzektor Hornet- Dragonfly would be a more impacting hit;
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon- Nah, to one copy, as Hieratics are still a viable threat
Rescue Rabbit - Needs to be limited, as it summons two monsters from the deck at the same time, making it a one-card Solemn Judgment, Divine Wrath, a 2550 beatstick which can become immune to Spells and Traps for a turn and prevents Lv5+'s from being special summoned, or any generic Rank 4 or lower Xyz;
Tour Guide from the Underworld- Alright then, I could see this;
Legendary Six Samurai- Shi En- Too easy to break out two in a single turn... offers two negations on 2500 ATK bodies which can protect themselves from destruction;
Super Polymerization - I definitely find the card annoying, but not sure enough to touch it;

Unlimited:

Primal Seed - Bad card is bad, to zero plz
Bottomless Trap Hole- It's perfect at two, and has been
Marshmallon- Agreed, why not?
Chain Strike- inb4 Chain Burn decks everywhere

Again, it probably will not happen, but it seems, with the reprinting of DMoC, it might be possible...

Comments where yours used to be~

Thanks for your assessment, on both Zephyros and my list. I have a few friends now that believe that once Elemental HERO Escuridao is released, they have some infinite loop with Future Fusion and Zephyros that allows you to special summon a boatload in a turn. I was confused as to how that could be...

I believe that, with the new Spellbook cards and Spellcaster support, DMoC is a great choice to come back. Not only for Spellcasters, though, for just about any deck. As for REDMD, they won't limit it until Railcannon Gustav MAX has a format of fun. That would be why I thought they should semi-limit REDMD, anyway.

I don't play Rabbit Dino, but now that I think about it, Rescue Rabbit may go the way of Rescue Cat. Limited, and then gone.

I think we will se a HUGE push for Burn decks, as they need something as a counter for the top decks (not sure what those will be post-Sept), and fun to play decks like Final Countdown and Exodia, even they received all this new support, just aren't cutting it.

Finally, I agree with you about Wind-Ups. Either way would be fine with me. With Gishkis out now, Konami only really needs one Hand Destruction deck...

Personally I believe Hunter should be banned, and Rat/Zenmaity should be limited.

The new spell books do look interesting. But just bringing back DMoC for the new support I don't really see this happening. Plus DMoC isn't a true chaos monster.

I agree with Gustav around for a format, but Konami can always just ban Gustav in March. If dragons continue to be a problem they can go after REDMD.

I agree that DMoC is not a true Chaos Monster, but duelists will probably attempt to run it in every single deck if it comes back, much like BLS. I don't think that it would come back simply because of the Spellcasters, but it might be a very fortuitous time to bring it back, as it seems that Konami is shifting the format back to a time of tributing (Hieratics, Gishki), and discarding effects. It just feels to me that DMoC will make a comeback.

Also, I agree that they will not touch REDMD, with the exception of semi-limitation; Lightpulsar and FF seem much liklier as candidates for ban and limitation.

Something will be done about Wind-Ups; I would be very surprised if they are not touched.

And apparently we are going swimming this format, between the Gishki and Atlanteans.

Well at least Hieratics and Gishki can be stopped with Mask of Restrict.

[Baitdoll812]

That is very true. I'm not so sure that I like the Atlantean Structure... but I can see where you're coming from... the deck looks pretty solid, especially when you add Deep Sea Diva and Lost Blue Breaker. They also apparently have the ability to pop out higher level monsters at will, which makes higher level Xyz viable.

I haven't really gotten to a point where I have thought about side deck tech for the next format, but it does seem that Mask of Restrict will be seen in a LOT of sides. Another thing that stops Gishki (at least Hieratic Gishki), is the lack of Constellar Ptolemys Messier 7 in the TCG. But, if Konami does what it usually does and wrecks the top decks of the format, then we will see a rise in decks like Gishki and Hieratics, as well as a resurgence of HEROes, now that Escuridao is out, unless Konami hits Bubbleman, FF, or Super Poly.

IDK, it's hard to see what decks will benefit from the removal of the top decks, if that happens. Who knows, maybe they will bring Shi En back to 2 to support Six Sams and the new Xyz (Excalibur). Maybe they'll bring back Magician of Faith and Tsukuyomi (lol). Hard to say...

[Dark Zane]

DMoC is actually a better choice. Prophecies won't benefit that much from it. If you play Magical Dimension, DMoC will lose its timing but you do get a 2800 beat stick on the field but it can be easily removed. To really get its effect, you have to tribute two of your monsters, it seems like a waste.

[bystander79]

Yeah we don't need Tsukuyomi back with BoM and Maestroke.

For MoF to come back we would have to lose Monster Reborn, BoM, and Mind Control. Maestroke would have to be limited as well.

[masterwoo0]

There's no need to limit Maestroke. It's an Ignition Effect, so its likely never going to survive its initial use anyway, and the ability to summon more than one is remote when you compare the options on the table.

[Baitdoll812]

Exactly. With Veiler at three and summon-stoppers like BTH, Warning, and Judgment, it seems pointless to limit Maestroke.

As for DMoC, Spellcasters can summon it pretty easily, like Dark Zane said. But, in a deck like Evolsaurs or Hieratics, a tribute can be everything. I could see decks like that running DMoC as a one-of to bring back their themed power spells or a staple.
