This is just my predictions, this is NOT THE LEGIT MARCH 2011 BANNED LIST!!!
Reasonings aka my opinions on some of the cards I put on the list:
Banned:
Mind Control: If you look at it in a different angle its actually pretty broken. You can even take a face down card from your opponents side of the field and just flip it and synchro summon.
Cold Wave: This card sets up a lot of OTKs (One Turn Kills). This card should have been banned last format.
Limited:
Dark Strike Fighter: I personally think that this card will be fine at 1. This card can win games but at 1 it can easily get Bottomless Trap Holed and you won't see that card again until your next match. Or even Solemn Judgmented or Warninged. I think running 1 will be ok.
Rescue Cat: With Semi-Limiting Faultroll and Fulhelmknight this card would give them a little boost and/or other decks running with Rescue Cat. I saw this video on Youtube and he said that almost every deck as that broken combo. For example, Blackwings with their Vayu and their graveyard synchro summoning. Lightsworns and their milling and there Lumina. Sabers was with their Rescue Cat. ETC.
Debris Dragon: I was thinking about touching Dandylion, but decided to touch Debris. With its crazy combos and special summoning level 3s or whatever. Should be limited,
Heavy Storm: I think this card should comeback because now since this card is banned so many people are setting up their back row with traps without any care because they know we can't use Heavy Storm. Please comeback.
Brain Control: With the banning of Mind Control I thought aboud adding Brain Control back. I see this card a lot better then Mind Control and less broken. Personally I don't see this card as a broken card. You pay 800 life points, ok thats good. You can Book Of Moon the monster that your opponent brain controlled so he/she can't synchro summon/attack etc. I personally think its a pretty fair card.
Semi-Limited:
Gateway Of The Six: I can see this card semi-limited. With this card coming to two it doesn't kill the Six Samurai deck. With two you can still destroy but it makes it a little more fair. Konami obviously won't kill Six Sams because they want people to try out their new cards. Look at Blackwings when they first came out, they were so damn good. Then you see Black Whirlwind go from 3 to 2 to 1. But Blackwings are still really really good and a top tier deck with Black Whirlwind at 1.
Black Whirlwind: If they don't touch Gateway Of The Six then I want to see this card go back to at least 2. Black Whirlwind is like Gateway Of The Six but Gateway is 5x better. Enough Said. I think bringing Black Whirlwind back to 2 won't hurt anyone and gives Blackwings a little more support since all the new support Blackwings are getting are all trash. The most recent Blackwing support card that I think is "ok" is Breeze and thats it.
Necro Gardna: The reason why I put this card at semi-limited is because I haven't seen Lightsworns do a lot recently. Yes their a real good top tier deck but you know what I mean. There a very aggressive deck but not really much defense. Necro Gardna at 2 would help them a little.
Wulf, Lightsworn Beast:With putting Necro Gardna to semi-limited I had to put this card to semi-limited because people with Lightsworn decks most of the time are winning because they get that lucky mill with Wulf and putting it at 2 still gives the Lightsworn user a chance to mill Wulf but at the same time it takes away some of the consistency of milling a Wulf.
Mezuki:Yes I said it, Mezuki! Zombies are dead (No pun intended) They were a very competitive deck until Konami destroyed them. This gives them a little boost. I want to see some Zombie decks comeback.
Hope you enjoyed this, please give your thoughts on my predictions and tell me yours.
