Lightsworn with Chaos Sorcerer becomes the new meta? Anyone taking bets on this one?

I'm also seeing one dad teched in this.

My favorite card is back, but I wonder if a Chaos Deck with only 1 Sorcerer will work properly.

No, but it can be splashed into the Twilight deck.  

[Synaku_Blade]

Did I read that right...there are absolutely no Forbidden cards? Or does that mean that there are no changes to the actual Forbidden section of the list?

Well, I remain a bit untouched, if anything this has helped me. Twin-Headed Behemoth at 3 is nice, as well as Book of Moon. Ultimate Offering at 2 and Phantom of Chaos at 3 is VERY welcomed.

Curious as to why Manticore of Darkness got unrestricted though...

On another note, DaD and Plaguespreader will be going down in price I hope.  

[Jazz Turnabout]

No cards were banned in this format. Only limited.

That's what it's saying. Everything listed under the previous Banned is still banned.  

[Claus Iver]

crap! there go my e-teleports.  

[Vanilla Kago]

not bad list.

yay for 3rd book of moon...  

[Kuan Hsing]

Notes after I've had a bit of time to think:
Chaos Sorcerer: Well, considering that everyone gets free gigantic monsters, this return probably isn't too ridiculous of a tester. Just nobody be surprised if it goes back to banned when it's too meta-breaking.
Bestiari: Samnite, GB Training Ground, Equeste, potentially GB Pot of Avarice or Inner Strength... annoying, not breaking at all.
Goyo/Brionac: Whoo, minus maybe one. No point in restricting Synchros at all.
Zombie Carrier: Considering you play one in basically any deck and three if you can actually support it, this is healthy for the meta.
Mezuki/Urgent Teleport: Standard "Disrupt the Top Deck" restrict.
Dark Armed Dragon: Don't really want to discuss.
Card of Safe Return: Not necessary restrict. No good Lightsworn runs it any more and Zombies were hit hard enough without this.
Reinforcement: Yeah, no 4x Stratos... sorry Diabolic

Goblin Zombie: Determination to castrate ZombieDAD continues.
D.Hero Malicious: Is this the new Breaker? Instead of dance around 1/0 free m/t destruction, dance around 1/2 free SS of high-LV monster...
Raiza: Two Time Walks a game? You're just going to give this to me?
Green Baboon: Could probably go back to 3 without harm, but note that Rescue Synchro still lives...
D.Draw/Allure: Too 'turbo.' Six costless cycling cards too many, four probably healthy.
Gold Sarc: Same as Green Baboon, but Necroface gains a little power instead of Beast
Mind Crush: Basically my favorite skill test card, restriction a little lifted... just as soon as the best search gets restrict. Still sides against GB, at least, and anything if you get the patterns right.

Manticore: Combo not really threatening since 3x DD Crow.
Twin-Headed Behemoth: Wasn't this a rules restrict? No way to tell if this one is a new one or the old one if it gets recycled somehow. But, it's not really breaking anyway (and you still get just 3 SS out of them), so w/e... although expect people to cheat and say they have 3 main, recycle the one they have in the grave, and say it's a new one when they only have 1...
Phantom of Chaos: Nohre decks 1% better, doesn't matter when -2 Draw 2
Book/Nobleman: Not really broken, safe

Already on it. I'm glad I had both Tele-dad and lightsworns. I'm safe either way. And away from plaugespreader allowed me to put in chaos sorcerer. : D  

[The Mighty Q]

Iron Jar Mill just got a slight a boost xP  

[Exotahu]

I like this list.

Here is the list on the Japanese website. I am going to miss Mezuki.  

[Jevan R. H. Divinitive]

Konami have beaten UDE to it and posted the list. http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/limited/

It seems that Konami don't care about what the courts say and are acting in all the power they have.  

[Synaku_Blade]

Well, technically Konami has the power. Thing is, we will soon find out if they can actually handle distributing themselves.
