I love how scrubs always make sure to mention that it's hilarious that Crush Card got banned because they couldn't afford one on their allowance.

I look at it like a set rotation, like Magic. The same thing happens, spend money on cards that eventually become worthless.

And now I can stop trying to throw the damn thing in every deck.

If you're looking for a reason as to exactly why Solemn was limited, it's because of Solemn's use.

It used to be played as a defensive card that said NO to your opponent's big pushes. Back when Zaborg first came out and when Sorcerer was also legal, these "field-clearing" monsters started to become popular. You'd generally Solemn the summoning of a monarch to lose half your life and gain your opponent's monster and Normal Summon.

Now, the game trends has shifted to such an aggressive style of play that Solemn is now used as a hugely aggressive card that says NO to your opponent stopping your big pushes. You see, Solemn is indeed the most balanced card in the history of the game, as it simply promotes any current game trends. The problem is not Solemn Judgment, but the broken cards that Solemn helps you force through.

The game is the problem, not Solemn.

Card of Safe Return (from limited) : It was obvious with Mezuki's semi-limitation, and as there aren't other reasons behind its ban, there's nothing else to say.

Lumina
Zombie Master
Gigaplant
Wulf
Black Salvo
Debris Dragon

And so on. So apart from listing cards. CoSR means that any card that would SS from the graveyard is hindered/exploited because CoSR would be around to overpower it. As well as turn that card into a target for a restriction if too heavily used.

CoSR gone? You no longer can turn that Good SS-ing card into a +1-ing advantage beast.

Mezuki is semi-limited because on it's own. It's great themed revival. CoSR is what got it put from 3 to 1.
