+Logic 2007 Posted April 9, 2016 So I took some time yesterday to try to compile the list of cards OCG had during mid-2005 that we didn't. You can find that list below. [spoiler] *Elemental Energy came out August 2005 https://www.yugiohcardguide.com/spoilers/elemental-energy.htmlMonsterBerfomet Total Defense Shogun Cockroach Knight Dragon SeekerVIser Des*Legendary Fiend GerniaQueen’s Knight King’s Knight Jack’s Knight Hanibal Necromancer Victory DragonGoblin Zombie*Maximum SixThe TrickyAnicent LampRed Gadget*Green Gadget*Yellow Gadget* Marshmallon*Gemini Imps*Return ZombieBlood Suckervan'dalgyon the dark dragon lord*Skelangel (after CRV)*Summoner Monk (after CRV)*Tualatin*Silent Swordsman Lv5, LV7 (after CRV)Doomcaliber Knight (released after CRV, after EER before banned List)*Gandora the Dragon of Destruction (released after CRV, after EER before banned List)White Horned DragonMutant Mindmaster*Divine Knight Ishzark*Blast Sphere* Spell Temple of the Kings MultiplyFiend’s Sanctuary*Soul Taker* Silent Doom*Dangerous Machine Type 6Shield Crush*Sebek’s Blessing*Tricky Spell 4 Makiyu the Magical MistOverpowering EyeMagical Stone Excavation*Nightmare’s Steel Cage*Mystic Box* Magical Dimension*Magical Blast* Foolish Burial TrapTime Machine*Metal Reflect Slime* Magical Arm ShieldCloning*Sixth Sense*Hidden SoliderSoul Rope*Legacy of Yata Garatsu*Malevolent Catastrophy*Stronghold the Moving Fortress*Call of the EarthboundMystical Refpanel*Relieve Monster Crush Card Virus FusionChimera the Flying Mythical Beast Ehero steam healer Five headed dragon*Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon*Arcana Knight JesterAligator’s Sword Dragon* [/spoiler] Would anyone have any interest in exploring this to some caliber? Not sure where the right place would be to start with this, where pre CRV/Post CRV/Post EEN are all options, not to mention the option to do honor bans. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 The Sixth Sense should be an honor ban. Worst card design of all time. Also, the TCG already had the Silent Swordsmen. Worth mentioning that Marshmallon was limited to 1, for those who don't know. There were also various banlist differences like Magician of Faith being at 1 in the OCG. I would argue that gadgets were close to tier 0 in this format. So much silliness, especially considering that you could run 9 gadgets 3 ultimate offering 3 limiter removal if you really wanted to. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. The resilience of the gadget deck was just completely unparalleled at this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Logic 2007 Posted April 9, 2016 Actually, the march banned list looks identical to what TCG had with Sixth Sense banned and Marshmallon at 1. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/March_2005_Lists , maybe I missed a negligible difference though. Looks like Faith is at 3 here. Yeah I'm not sure how Gadgets weren't just everywhere both Pre and Post CRV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 That's weird, because on their historic chart, they have faith at 1: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Historic_Forbidden/Limited_Chart I recall some other sources mentioning some minor differences in our list, but of course it's quite difficult to find now. Maybe Atem can point us in the right direction. I was trying to find some decklists from this time, but didn't have too much luck. I didn't find these one set of top decklists from a Miso-G (the biggest OCG tournaments at the time). http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/1729765/ It's weird, because it's clearly from the March 2005 format (has they're all running Graceful Charity, which was banned in september 2005), and yet none of them are running Delinquent Duo, Ring of Destruction, or more than one Magician of Faith. Like maybe officially their list was the same as ours or something and they played with certain "honor bans." It's also worth noting that they have Foolish Burial, which was not mentioned on your list. I feel like one of primary issues with trying to play this format is figuring out what cards were actually printed and legal at the time. Going back 11 years to a different country isn't easy.

Francis J Underwood 2614 Posted April 9, 2016 I would actually be interested in this, but I think the issue is that with DN not having images, it will be hard to drum up interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 It's gets even more confusing when you look at this list: http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/2093730/ Here we've got a guy running Graceful Charity and Confiscation in the same deck... And those two were never legal at the same time post-2005. Another dude is running Delinquent Duo. We see the appearance of multiple Magician of Faiths. Still no Ring of Destructions. Like I literally can't even figure out what ban list they could possibly be playing with from these decklists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 Oh, and also the OCG definitely had Crush Card Virus, which was limited to 1 at this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Logic 2007 Posted April 9, 2016 Crazy stuff. Yeah, I had to go through each wikipedia page every-time a game/ set/promo pack came out; I'm confident there are cards I'm missing, FOolish is the first one that I didn't know about outside of vanillas and Rituals. I'm not sure who to ask that would be well-informed on the subject, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Logic 2007 Posted April 9, 2016 If anyone knows a better way to get a full list than going through some 70 links on a laggy laptop, please let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Logic 2007 Posted April 9, 2016 I see Dandylion on one of the links you posted, too. Cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 Another source says that Dandylion didn't come out until December 2005. This is all so complicated, too much conflicting information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
»ACP 33392 Posted April 9, 2016 Exchange of the Spirit was also legal and at 1 though. (And with Temple of the Kings at 3) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francis J Underwood 2614 Posted April 9, 2016 I feel like the best solution is to go through these and basically just adjust for what is degenerative and what isn't. Is it kind of create your own format-ish? Yes, but so long as the core principles are maintained, then it should not be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz 5020 Posted April 9, 2016 Cool idea. This website was incredibly useful to me for compiling the goat format TCG pool on format library: https://www.yugiohcardguide.com/ I would try to find something similar for the OCG boosters, structure decks, and promos released there. You might have to google translate a Japanese page, which should be doable. Finding it seems like the hard part. But I'm sure it exists somewhere. YGO Wikia sucks ass. They don't moderate it carefully at all. For years the TCG goat list had Magician of Faith @ 2. There are also other ban lists on YGO Wikia pre 2004 where stuff like Graceful Charity oscillates between 1 and 2 month-to-month, but I'm pretty sure that never actually happened.

Jazz 5020 Posted April 9, 2016 PS If you can get the entire card pool in a google spreadsheet, I can write some sort of script to pull out unique OCG cards by comparing it against the TCG pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Sinister Serpent* 2 Posted April 10, 2016 It's gets even more confusing when you look at this list: http://shriek.twoday.net/stories/2093730/ Here we've got a guy running Graceful Charity and Confiscation in the same deck...

Like I literally can't even figure out what ban list they could possibly be playing with from these decklists. Hey Allen, just thought I would let you know that's not actually correct, Confiscation and Graceful were legal at the same time post-05 I distinctively remember Jeff Jones playing both in his Triple Stratos advantage deck. So I checked and they were in fact both legal in September 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gemstone Mine 2589 Posted April 10, 2016 i feel like there was a point where they banned duo and brought back confi and still had charity legal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I checked and they were in fact both legal in September 2006. It's Sep 06 - Feb 07 Yeah I think that was the format when Stein was E-banned halfway through. It was a strange format. No sorcerer, no heros. So (apprentice?) monarchs were like the default deck I guess. After the Stein E-ban, Stratos was released as a promo and was initially at 3 for like a single random SJC. But generally yes, Confi and Graceful alternated spots on the list. I think that's the one exception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petqwe 286 Posted April 11, 2016 FYI if your OCG goats refer to the period of mar-aug 2005, you may want to notice that doomcaliber knight was out in august 05...Edit: was blind, dont know why i didnt see that card already in thr list This is something I find from some really old websites.

the4got10-1 12 Posted April 11, 2016 I'm probably being stupid here, but if all you guys wanted was to check the card pool / card legality and the ban list, why not just get a GBA emulator, the WCT 2004 / 2005 games and an "all cards" cheat and look at the in-game ban list? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the4got10-1 12 Posted May 3, 2016 Not sure whether you guys have taken this to PMs or something. Anyway, I guess this is the closest you can get to past format "official" lists: http://www.yugioh-card.com/sg/event/rules_guides/forbidden_cardlist.php?lang=en Note that there's actually no 2004/03 list on that site.

+Logic 2007 Posted May 4, 2016 @Jazz, I'm confident there are normal monsters, ocg vanilla fusions, and ritual monsters I'm missing. I'm 90% sure every semi-playable card is listed, but the more I look at the format, the more I just think "oh, 9 gadgets, 3 limiter, 3 Ultimate Offering, sounds fun bro" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all this is clearly a fun format and not super serious. I would give it a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
