1/9 B** Wishlist

I don't usually do this, mind...

Forbidden:
Card Destruction
Ultimate Offering

Limited:
Atlantean Dragoons
Evilswarm Ophion
Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack
Number 11: Big Eye
Spellbook of Judgment
Spellbook of Secrets
Super Rejuvenation

Semi-Limited:
Mermail Abysslinde
Spellbook Magician of Prophecy
Book of Moon
Fire Formation - Tenki
Gold Sarcophagus

Unlimited:
Thunder King Rai-Oh
Tsukuyomi

Some opinion:
Both cards that I choose to ban is a non-specific win condition (for more than one deck)

As for Judgment and Rejuvenation, they are archetype specific wincon. As long as Gateway of the Six stays Limited, it is hard to see Konami banning them yet.

(Side note: it is intriguing to see Prophecy with Judgment untouched while Secrets is banned...)

Ophion is roughly in similar mould to Shi En, and is unhealthy for the game but at 1, should be fair enough

It sure is good to be able to answer Dracossack and Ophion without a looming fear of another copies hitting the board.

Dragoons to 1 is long overdue, but I would also like to see Linde getting hit, either semi'd or to 1. We have come a long way since Genex Mermail hit the scene, and Mermail has evolved as Teus and later, Tidal made their way into the deck. Honestly Mermail is ridiculously consistent and the only deck in Yugioh able to challenge the basic notion of deckbuilding. Tidal Mermail would be in top contention next format surely so a precautionary step is more or less a necessity to avoid the biggest problem with current format: the unbelievably huge gap between top deck and the rest of the tier.

As for Fire Fist, I would only put Tenki to 2. If the format slows down, people would maindeck more copies of MST again, and indirectly would hit Fire Fist. Rai-Oh being released out of the list would also indirectly hit the archetype.

Basically all of the cards in Semi list (bar Book of Moon) is there for reason related to consistency; each hitting top 4 decks

Lastly, if Solemn Waning doesn't go to 2, at the very least I want to see Book of Moon getting semi'd instead.
