The TCG

While this is the official OCG Ban list, it isn't necessarily the official TCG one.

But looking at history as a guide, we can see that past ban lists either EXACTLY reflected the OCG one or had minor differences that didn't change the actual list very much.

So we can reliably say that the above list is your ban list or in essence the list.

If there will be any changes they will be minor and nothing to fuss over.

UniMetagame's analysis of the above list will occur in the next article. Stay tuned til then and enjoy the new list; I know I will! :D

August 31st

UPDATE: The two lists have been confirmed to be exactly the same. So don't hesitate to use the above list for either the TCG or the OCG because they are both the same; like last time.
