I think most of us can agree that Judgement is most likely going to get hit on the upcoming September ban list do you think this is going to destroy Prophecy or do you think they are going to be a tier 2 deck. I would like to hear all your opinions on this.

why do tehy even put decks on ban?

 They put certain cards in decks that are broken on the ban list.

Prophecy was good before judgement, however without judgement if e-drags dont get hit (which i sincerely doubt) then they will drop to tier 2 however if e-drags are hit, they will stay tier 1 as the entire game would have slowed down

 That is a very good point you bring up I think that there is a good chance of that happening actually I think it will be Bujin and prophecy for tier 1.

Bujin is getting a lot of support, and i like the deck as it reminds me of plants. The deck has great potential but is not as linear as other decks, it takes quite a lot of skill to use properly meaning it can top if the player is good.

 That is why I love them so much they are very good at OTK's as well.

The 3 decks that we need to watch from September i think are Dark World, XX and Evilswams.

Dark World and Swarms is because they can overpower with EEV. Dark World even more because of Skill Drain. Also XX because they have monsters that can't be destroyed by battle and there easy to synchro. I have already seen XX knocking about again so that should be spice things up.

I think some outside chances that might be able to top are Infernitys, Watts, possibly a return of crystal beasts, lightswarms becoming more main stream again, final countdown decks, return of mermails and possibly if watt decks rise then maybe a toon/watt/mecha phantom hybrid.

Overall after E-Drags and Spellbooks get hit i think we could be seeing one of the most competitive ban-lists yet.

 I think you have a good idea I saw you playing Darkworlds and I can see them becoming tier 1 if nothing of theirs get's hurt.

Agreed ^^

Well to be honest Konami are not going to hit the top tiers too much in my opinion cause they just came out and konami can get more money of them, dark worlds have always been competitive so wei are going to see quite a few dark world player, if evilswarms dont get hit which i doubt sabers and lightsworns wont come back, but i do think ophion is gonna get hit so there is a chance of LS coming back more the sabers. Mermails will start topping again. But i doubt watts will do good, tbh if they had a loop it would have been thought of by someone by now as it hasnt been hit yet, nor has it recieved more support.

@Seto Kaiba

The most likely decks to be tier 1 are Water/Mermails and Fire fists (After Judgement Of The Light). Crystal Beasts are far too slow, and cannot keep up with any deck really. Dark worlds are all right, but they are too easy to side against. 1-2 macro cosmos wins duels against them. And X-sabers are a deck of the past, they can't swarm as much as they used to without rescue cat an the rulings change on darksoul. We also may be looking at wind-ups first tier again, because of there swarming power, and there are many rumors of Zenmaighty being limited next format.

@gghhjj19

Konami is going to have to hit the top tier decks because of the negative response. They will mostly be focusiong on Dragon Rulers and Spellbooks, but may limit Ophion.
