YCS Toulouse report

Hi everyone,
I was the Assistant Head Judge for YCS Toulouse, and I liked it. I was probably chosen because I am french, and the Head Judge was not.
There were only 435 players, so it wasn't really challenging (as a judge) so I wasn't busy all the time as I expected.

The Emptiness of Vanity's Fiend

Card text : Neither player can Special Summon monsters. Destroy this card when a card is sent from the Deck or the field to your Graveyard.

The Best Booster Set Ever!

When Yu-Gi-Oh! first came out, they was a limited card list in the rulebook, where cards like Change of Heart, Monster Reborn, Dark Hole and the five pieces of Exodia was on it. Then the forbidden list came out, bannishing cards judged too powerful to be played. In April 2004, for the first time ever, cards was forbidden :
- Cyber Jar
- Fiber Jar
- Injection Fairy Lily
- Yata-Garasu
- Change of Heart
- Delinquent Duo
- Harpie's Feather Duster
- Painful Choice
- Raigeki
- Imperial Order

And today, 9 of the 10 are still forbidden.

And now I will tell you the top 5 of booster sets containing the most forbidden cards. (excluing the reedition packs)

N°5 : We have two sets at N°5, each one containing only 2 forbidden cards :

Dark Crisis : 
- Butterfly Dagger - Elma
- Tsukuyomi

The Duelist Genesis :
- Mind Master
- Goyo Guardian

Poll result

On this blog there was a poll, a yes-or-no question about the future of Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning in the Limited cards list. So the question was "BLS re-banned?" and 47 people answered. 61% responded "Yes" (BLS rebanned), and 38% responded "No". And now that we know the ban list, we can confirm that BLS stays Limited, so 61% of the people who voted were wrong.

The next pole on this blog is "Which deck is the Best ?" and they are 4 possible answer "Inzektor", "Rabbit", "Wind-Up" and "Other". The poll is on the right top corner of the blog.

So, Who's the best?

Fake Banlists

Here are some of them :

All you should know about Inzektors.

On the newly released set Order of Chaos, the Ninja and the Wind-Up archetypes are now powered-up with new interesting cards, but the most played cards of the set are probaly the Inzektors. Why? Because it's cheaper thant Wind-up, and stronger than Ninjas.

The deck Inzektor is a dark-based deck with only 4 different new cards, Inzektor Hornet, Inzektor Dragonfly, Inzektor Centipede, and Inzektor Giga-Mantis (there are more Inzektor cards but only those 4 are played)
