Now then, let's break it down one by one.

The banned selection was a 50/50 for me. I did suspect things like Substitoad (Frog FTK) and Rescue Cat, but I didn't think it would happen. As for the rest, the banning of Heavy Storm and Brain Control is going to make the game a little more interesting now.

The limiting of Infernity Launcher was expected, and it's good to see Infernities slowing down a bit. Their main card got back to 1, but it could have been a lot worse for them.

Royal Oppression at 1 really hurt me, since most of my decks run them. However, this list will force me to revive Vanity Gadgets once again.

Black Whirlwind @1 slowed down my deck a bit as well, but it's nothing too serious.

The revival of Dark Hole and Monster Reborn just made this game a whole lot more interesting. Haven't seen Dark Hole be legal since I was in my senior year in high school during the chaos era. Going to have fun with those. This will be an interesting format.

Mystical to 2 is curious, but will make players think twice about using more equip/continuous cards.

Magic Cylinder to 2 seems fun, might try it out just for kicks. Might not make an impact on the meta, but burn decks must be happy.

As for the rest, pretty interesting results. Overall, this new list will bring us quite the interesting format. Playing without Heavy Storm will be a challenge to many, but it's not that big of a deal (getting flamed for this?) anyways.
