BA & Qli got raped by the Banlist  llooks like I'm going back to playing nekroz ( I was enjoying BA)

O M G !!!

Skill Drain and Vanity limited... saw that coming. Seems, Lose a turn (CROS) is the new shit!

Snatch Steal forbidden - Finally again.
Shi En semi-limited - ok, but 2 are more than enough!
BFF - Spirit - awesome. 3-Axis Fire Fist rises again!
GB Bestiari - Anybody playin' GB? Really?
Lonefire Blossom unlimited - Sure. Plants are too weak...  
Hieratic Seal of Convocation unlimited - Why? Konami has overlooked Hieratic/Dark Matter decks in OCG? lol.

All in all a bad list.
OCG got a better list (like every time).

Lose a turn requires you to controll NO special summoned monsters so its only going to work in Qli's

Snatch Steal lasted one ban list

All in all I dont think its to bad of a ban list, Ideally Nekroz would of been hit more but meh everybody knew they wouldnt get hit to hard because there making Konami mega ££££££'s lol The two main floodgates got hit which means you can run less MST's (YAY!) and it gives other lower tier decks more of a chance to compeat. Aswell as getting some old decent cards back like RoD & CCV.

Lose a turn is great in Yosenju!
CCV is bad if you play against BA or Shaddoll.

Yeah it could replace Vanitys Emp in the main now thats its limited and yeah you would have to be a idiot to activate CCV against Shads or BA.

Why is Symbol of Heritage limited?
Never saw anyone playing it.
Why should i play that card if i can play 3 copies of CotH and/or Oasis of Dragon Souls?

Yeah it's a crap monster reborn

Yeah, the limitation is nuts!
The only reason why to play this card are decks like Cyber Dragon and Harpie (treated as Cyber Dragon/Harpie while in Graveyard), but... meh. No tournament player would use this card.

I can't see anyone using this card full stop lmao

WTF?
I have just seen that Symbol of Heritage was limited at January 2015 in OCG.
Absolutely no idea why! Or why Konami did the same in TCG!

Maybe they have plans for new card/s which can abuse it.

In the DN forum i've read that Symbol of Heritage was limited because of Lonefire Blossom.
E.g. it's now easier to summon Shooting Star Dragon with triple LFB:

LFB → LFB → LFB → Dandylion → Symbol of Heritage → LFB → tribute Dandylion for Spore → Formula Synchron (Spore + Token; draw 1) → remove LFB for Spore → synchro Stardust Dragon (Spore, LFB + Token) → synchro Shooting Star Dragon (Formula + SDD)

Thats some wombo combo and yeah I can now see why its limited

And because of Noden FTK (though there's no Noden in TCG).

Yeah but the TCG banlist is the common choice for TCG+OCG play.
