Emergency Banlist and Important Errata (February 8)

[Flint]

Doge is sick so I'll make a post in his absence. As the title says, Konami has released an emergency banlist. I'd like to thank Tormmy for linking this info. This list will be effective starting February 8.

Konami's Statement:

"Here’s some important news regarding the Forbidden & Limited Cards List used for high-level tournaments!

We constantly monitor the Decks and cards used at sanctioned events of all levels, from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series all the way down to local tournaments. Some cards and Decks are always doing better than others, and that’s okay. But we need to make sure that no Deck becomes so powerful that it drowns out the others, because you, the Duelists, have always told us that you like to have a wide variety of Decks show up at your tournaments.

There’s a lot of buzz these days about the Performapal/Performage Decks that have been growing in strength. And while we always expected this deck to be very strong (or even the strongest), it’s strangling some of the other competitive Decks right now, and we’re going to take steps to even things out a little bit.

At the same time, we don’t want to perform a knee-jerk reaction on the Forbidden & Limited Cards List, because that list isn’t just for high-end tournament play, but also for when Duelists play at their friend’s house, at school, or wherever their Dueling might take them.

So what we’re going to do is implement a new idea called the Adjusted List. The Adjusted List places additional restrictions on certain cards, but only for certain sanctioned events."

Emergency Banlist:

Performage Plushfire – Forbidden
Performage Damage Juggler – Forbidden
Tellarknight Ptolemaeus – Forbidden
Performapal Skullcrobat Joker – Limited
Performapal Monkeyboard – Limited
Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer – Limited

Errata: Performpal Pendulum Sorcerer

Old version:
"If this card is Special Summoned: You can target up to 2 cards you control; destroy them, and if you do, add “Performapal” monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand, except “Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer”, equal to the number of monsters destroyed. You can only use this effect of “Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer” once per turn."

Revised version:
"If this card is Special Summoned: You can target up to 2 cards you control; destroy them, and if you do, add “Performapal” monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand, except “Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer”, equal to the number of cards destroyed. You can only use this effect of “Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer” once per turn."

The Pendulum Effect is unchanged.

I think its important to keep this part in mind.

I was extremely concerned about this fineprint which apparently most people didn't notice. It should have been an adjustment on the actual banlist and not just for their special events. Meh.

[Zaio Volnutt]

who knows they are gonna be getting feedbacks from the events on how it will turn out even then it might be permanently implemented on the official banlist
