Sanctuary in the Sky STILL has its moments. Most people don't think to use it in their burn deck, but the Agents are extremely deadly burn monsters.

The Agent of Judgement - Saturn is most of the time capable of ending the game, and its "no battle phase" drawback is barely an issue with a Burn deck.

The Agent of Force - Mars is pretty much an attacker made for burn decks. Its level three status and zero attack let it attack under Messenger of Peace, Gravity Bind, and Level Limit Area B! Like Saturn, Mars' attack will almost always be around 4000.

um, that why vilepawn exists, bud. hes much better than a friggin marmot.

You might want to try PM'ing Gailsad for trades. I think we drove him insane back around post 500, when he wrote, "Stop it, stop it, stop it!!!" Somehow I doubt that he remains subscribed to this thread.

On the other hand, lets review how this all started:

Well everyone, this new format that will be here in October may have some changes in store for fiend duelists. If Spikes and Baron and the list floating around here on the realms is correct, there will be no more Soldier on one hand, but no more Night Assailant Abuse either (at least not in the sense of retrieving himself)! Also fiends will be well equipped to handle Vampire Lord abuse, with both Giant Orc and Goblin Elite Attack Force to take him down. Mefist will also have to find some new targets to trample with less goats running around. I know this is still not totally confirmed, but I couldn't resist getting some opinions on how this will affect the more fiendishly inclined duelists!

Also, I just read that apparently Kevin has said that our list may be different than the OCG list. *Shrugs*

All in all though, Fiends haven't been hit too badly. NA wasn't as powerful as it once was since it was reduced to two and the reduction to one, while maybe stopping a few comboes, is hardly devestating. Otherwise we've been left pretty much alone, although I know I'll be side-decking (at the very least) an End of Anubis to deal with these Vampire Lords that'll be everywhere.

I'm not even sure how useful Night Assailant is now that's it's limited to one. I could still justify using it when it was semi-limited but as a limited? I'll probably drop it myslef.

Well the NEW generation of fiends, the War Gods were badly hurt from this since they lost their Graceful Charity.
But all in all i think the list is pretty good, and didnt hurt the fiend community alot. Now though Goblin Elite Attack Force can take revenge on 3 Maruading Captains. That would also be a problem as our good counterparts get more power, but also loses it since the Luster King is gone.

I myself have just decided to drop Night Assailant. With only one of them there doesn't seem much point to it, and with Duo gone it doesn't even justify as Hand protection.

So what exactly is our new list going to look like?

I hope it's something drastic, because I've been dying to test some stuff out and can't seem to find the room.

Although from the sound of it they're messing with Night Assailant and Scapegoat? That's a shame, considering I wanted to abuse my Cybernetic Magicians with them... UDE never lets me have any fun! <insert tantrum here>

I find it funny that Graceful Charity flip flops so much, yet they haven't looked at Pot of Greed. Especially now with the impending banning of BLS. Which brings me to my next point...

GIVE ME BACK PAINFUL CHOICE! Chaos had their fun with it, but now they're both banned and Painful should come off. UDE angered Necrofear when they did this, and as we all know an angry Necrofear is not a good one.

That's it for now.

P.S. dragon-reborn, your magician burn rules! Can't wait for the structures!

you can still use it for its first effect, you can also bring back cyber, slate or any other useful flips in the graveyard.

thats true. And with a reduction to one, players wont feel as reluctant to set Night Assailant for that first effect. But Night Assailant stopped being useful to most of my decks a little while ago, so Im not going to miss it.

Saturnine: according to the rumor thread by HalfDemonInuyas in our Rumor forum the new additions look like this.<---that is a link

the last page puts up this latest info:
Still trying to slow down the OTKs I see, by not releasing Painful while banning Graceful. Se la vie. Scapegoat, BoM, Tsukoyomi, Limiter Removal all restricted to one......not surprising. they comprised most of the meta and OTK (Cyber) that we would expect to cripple the game. Though loss of 3 Scapegoats mangles several of my own designs, including my main deck: Gren Maju de Eiza

There is one card I was expecting to come off, after I thought about the power of the Dark Realm monsters: Confiscation. If you think about it, that card will be quite a bane to the Dark Realm.

With unrestricted Maurauding Captains, Vampire Lords, Rescue Cats, and Dark Realm monsters, you can predict how swarm is being encouraged. At the same time, this list has Dark Hole. Necrofear will be more viable than she has been since her effect rulings were updated.

I hope you notice that Ring of Destruction and Mirror Force are listed on the Ban and the Restricted lists (??) This hasn't been confirmed in stone, as far as Ive seen, so if someone does have a more concrete affirmation, please tell.

My Goblin Kings are not happy about restricting TER and Metamorphasis, though. Cant say its any more unexpected than when DDWL was restricted to 1 during the last Ban.



Anything I missed? Sinister Serpent, Delinquent Duo, BLS? Eh..

LOL squid, where did you copy that from? The list on DMComet has Mirror Force and Ring listed as banned, not limited as well.

Sixth Sense is a Japan-only card, and would probably be banned the minute it touched these shores, I don't think it's considered a 'priority' card right now as far as releasing stuff goes...

Marshmellon... hang on...

PP6-001
MARSHMALLON
Light/Angel/4/300/500
The controller of a Monster that attacks this card while face-down
receives 1000 points of damage after Damage Calculation. This
card can't be destroyed as a result of Battle. (Damage is
calculated normally)
ULTRA RARE

Straight from Edo's. Although, I fixed his spelling xD

That's about it really. There's been nothing to dispute the authenticity of this list so far - such as Kevin dropping by, calling us all morons for believing it, and disappearing again :cheeky:

@Saturnine: Hey thanks. I'm probably gonna ditch Morph though, one hardly seems worth it...

I copied it from page 5 of that rumor thread I mentioned, by HalfDemonInuyas. Sorry, I forget the poster, but if I remember correctly, they said they got it from DMComet.

*blink* it sounds like.."I heard it from the friend of a friend of a friend", doesnt it? :D

Marshmellon=PP6? No wonder I cant remember it, lol. I suck at remembering promo cards, exclusive sets, hobby cards, and tins. If it didn't come in the expansion set, forget it, my mind is a sieve. (explains why I never remember Gilfer and Inferno Hammer either)

Yeah, I'm a little shocked they've whiddled Night Assailant down to 1 now, but utlimately it makes sense with all the free discards that were becoming available. I must admit I was abusing Night Assailant quite a bit with a dual Raigeki Break, dual Divine Wrath trap set going. We'll just devise some more means of fiendishness 8^D

Ring of Destruction has got to hurt a little though, Dillie-O. Giant Kokazy OTK? I know some of my ideas were always short because of the RoD restrictin. But now, outright banning really puts out some of those fires.
