Well, as always, my article only comes whenever a restriction/ban list comes out...

Here comes my analysis on the new ban, follow by an extremely short analysis on EoJ...

New Ban:
Victory Dragon - Well...Victory Dragon Lock deck ARE everywhere...and sometimes, being able to win the match by just winning one game is stupid...
Cyber Pod - Not too surprising, it IS a insane card afterall...
Tribe Infecting Virus - Not really THAT surprising...it IS a broken card...
Pot of Greed - Not surprising either, at least from the way they release Structure Deck one can EASILY deduct that they'll ban this card
Black Hole - I've NO IDEA why Konami even think this card is unbanable in the first place...
Reversed World - Finally got axed...even though it's not very common to see Reversed World OTK, it's also unfun if you play against one
Last Battle - Like Reversed World...Konami really does want to put a stop to stupid winning condition...
Time Seal - Looks like Time Seal look piss Konami off...

New Restriction:
Dandelion - Expected...it IS a good card afterall...
Yomigaeru - Expected...Look at the amount of Yomi-Lion-Emperor...
D.D. Assailant - Nothing too surprising either, I mean, people CRY for restriction for a LONG time...
Mask of Darkness - WHY WHY WHY?? It's not even THAT good...
Jar of Avarice - Guess Konami have enough with 3x Avarice...
Angel's Gift - Expected swap with Pot...I mean, Angel's Gift IS MUCH more balanced, at least when compare to Pot...
Pharoah's Shrine - No idea why it take that long to axed it...and no idea why they axed it when they destruct all the OTK...
Magical Shard Excavation - Exodia?? I don't really know...with the way they kill ALL the OTK...
Will - This card is an insane tutor if use right...
Limit Area Level B - Overkill...period. What so powerful about this card that it deserve restriction...not when Lock Deck are axed without V-Dragon...
Weapon Drop - NO IDEA why it get axed either...people use maximum 2 as a alternate toolbox...I mean...it's not like people can still use Ng Yu Leung's deck...
Holy Barrier -- Mirror Force - Expected swap with Black Hole...I mean...it IS not as broken as Black Hole...

New Semi-Restriction
Magician of Faith - Doesn't really matter THAT much to me...I use a maximum of 2 anyway...
Apprentice Magician - Kind of "Finally...they limited the power of this stupid searcher..."
Magical Reflector - Reflect Bounder - About time that they at least loosen this card...
Deck Destruction Virus of Magic - Still semi-restrict?? It can kill nothing but MPT deck....

Off List
Abyss Soldier - No Snake...No nothing...and a VERY balanced card...about freaking time...

Cards that I think escape this kind-of-crazy list:
Gadgets - I know doing anything won't affect their performance...but it's better than doing NOTHING...
Brain Control - YES...Again...until when Konami is willing to restrict this card...
Cyber Dragon - I'm VERY VERY surprised that Konami did nothing to it...

That's pretty much it, though...as 4 out of 6 cards on my last list is axed in some way (Pot of Greed, Cyber Pod, and Virus get ban, Saint Mage is now semi...)

Things that I'm not happy with this list:
Book of Moon - WHAT?? They do all those thing to destruct Goat-Meta AND Tsuku-lock and still left this card intact?? WTF is Konami thinking...
Tsukuyomi - Read Book of Moon...I mean...they kill OTK, they kill Tsuku-lock, what else is required for this non-broken card to get off the list...
Protector - Tell me 1 reason that it's even on the list...
Rich Goblin / Goblin Housekeeping - Only Exodia is left...and with Shrine restrict...they barely have any power...

Done with the list...now for a very short EoJ analysis...

First impression on the set - Not as bad as I would thought
Look more carefully - Too many cards got kill b/c of bad stats
Look EVEN more carefully - There's barely any card that's really THAT good...only about 5-6 decent/fun one...
Look MUCH more carefully - Hero kills the set...

Yes...That's all I'll say...the set is OK itself, but a LOT of card are going nowhere due to either stats or bad effect...
