I know, it sucks. I have this weird feeling that this new ban list was created several months in advance as you said before. I mean sure in a Plant Tengu deck, I see why Reborn Tengu had to be hit to 2. The problem is that it's still a competitive deck. Shien's Smoke Signal is semi-limited, so Six Samurai will be played more now. Any Agent based deck is now harder to play now that Earth is limited. I orginally planned to make a "unofficial structure deck" for Pyrrha Omega from Soul Calibur: V (yeah i make "unofficial structure decks" for anime/game characters when i'm bored lol). Since I have two copies of Lost Sancturary and some DARK monsters have would run great with the deck, I figured "why not". Now that Earth is limited i'm going to have to rebuild the deck a bit. I'm I the only one who think that Masked HEROES and Infernity decks will be played more often. In a Maked HERO you chain Mask Change to Zero, blow up opponents monsters, special summon Masked HERO Acid, pop opponents back field, and attack directly. OR change Zero into Masked HERO Vapor, to blow up opponents monsters and special summon a monster that can't be destroyed by card effects. as for Infernities: VOID OGRE DRAGON. Nuff said.
