Welcome to Gaia! ::

when it comes to the ban list i personally dont like many cards being on there at all!

like raigeki and stuff. like i understand cards like that are indeed overpowered. but the fact is it happens. there are cards to negate them. i faced alot of people that use it and yea it sucks....ALOT but the way i see it you can use them. only thing i think that should be on the ban list are cards that can make instant wins like butterfly dagger elma and other things like that

dark hole has always confused me as to why its banned.

well if its played at the right time yes dark whole is a raigeki but you cant really attack until you summon something. im sorry i still dont see why there banned. magic jammer FTW. and besides some cards are just crazy that arent banned (from what i know)

like beast king barboros, grand mole (i know is limited to one) eitherway i dont think any cards should be banned. looking back on my last post i know i said butterfly should be but it all depends on what cards you have to stop it. technically thats what all duels come down to. if you have the right cards at the right time

all games have an aspect of luck. i cant tell you how lucky ive been occasionally when my friend pulled out raigeki and u had magic jammer. its all just luck sometimes. maybe its jsut me but i see no problem with letting the banned cards come off the list.

Snake, I just have to ask you this. How would you feel if in almost every game, someone wiped out your entire hand and field, did almost 3000 damage at the same time, then attacked you repeatedly with a bird every turn for the rest of the game that only deals 200 damage each attack and says that every time it deals this damage that you can't draw next turn?

that is what almost every big tournament game was like before the "big bad" ban list came in.

There's no such thing as luck in games, it all boils down to consistency, and it comes in different shapes and sizes with each respectable game...The End..

Game would be 100% luck if you had the things already listed unbanned.

Bakuram, there is DEFINITELY luck in this game. Probability is chance, chance working out for you is luck. You topdeck a Rescue Cat with 32 cards left in deck, meaning it's a 1/32 chance. That's luck. You top the one card out of all your cards that you need to turn it around/win. That's luck.

You still have a massive probability against you drawing that card.

Prime example, given by a random person who came to visit me in my room. He doesn't play but has seen the cartoon.

"If someone shuffles your deck and you draw all five pieces of Exodia, that's luck."

Regardless what the chances are in favor of you, if you have them stacked against you in ridiculous proportions, and you still manage to pull it off? That's luck.

That's still probability/chance, extremely low in terms of drawing the set, but still possible. Also, chances aren't necessarily in favor of anyone, regardless if 'odds'(once again, probability/chance) are stacked in your favor or against you, it'll still happen at varying times.
