As I'm no doubt sure you're aware, the TCG and the OCG recently stopped having the same ban list. As a result, the TCG and OCG have their own evolving formats.

Our first format after the shift would have been really good, except that the dragon rulers not being hit hard enough and sixth sense being released ruined it. However this format fixed both of those thing, and this format is arguably the best format we've had in a long time (Personally, it's my favorite format since I joined the game). But hey, maybe this could have happened anyway right? Having the OCG input can't be too bad right?....right?

Well, as it turns out, losing the OCG's influence on our list was one of the luckiest things that's happened to us. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you the official OCG banlist for February. I'd like to restate here that this is their real banlist, and not a fan banlist. So y'all may wanna brace yourselves.

So, what are your thoughts on this banlist? How do you think it compares to ours? Personally I much prefer our banlist over their's

erm isn't it the same as ours (mostly) before the january banlist?

Let's just say I'm glad we're TCG and not OCG.

nvm i only looked briefly

I am actually jealous that the OCG gets to keep E HERO Stratos, but their list is way odd.

I rather play TCG then OCG. Only thing I don't agree with is change in art. Because we are a "non-violent" Country... I want OCG / Japan art v.v,

that's ridiculous? xD they fucking turned helios into a trans

yes ik. but dmg's cleavage is still decent :/ Helios doesn't have tits anymore

Forget all that, why on earth is Bubbleman limited? o.0
