For all of these changes to the current list: http://www.demotivateus.com/posters/explanation-demotivational-poster.jpg

[blue_yami_91]

Breaker-almost dictates chainable traps by himself. He's an unthemed +1 that has a 1600 body.

Chimertech- purely an OTK card.

Crush Card Virus- ridiculous control card for no cost. Singlehandedly wins games.

Cyber Dragon-not a problem now but could be after other changes. Makes the synchro mechanic ridic.

DAD- Need I explain? Field Clearer with a joke cost.

Demise- Again only used in OTK's

Judgment Dragon- Even though he's themed, he creates random OTK's.

Machine Dup- Had to be banned so Trooper could be at 3

Monster Reborn- Generic revival is bad for the game.

Return- Again OTK only

Snagan- generic tutors are bad for the game.

Trap Dustshoot- Banned for 3 Mind Crush

Necroface- A future problem, mainly becuase it can still OTK at 2

LLAB, G-Bind, Goat, MST- All allow for more control of the game as well as put the "stall" deck at a competitve level without throwing over the aggro decks.

All unlimited cards- Didn't ever deserve a restriction or don't need 1 with the list changes.
