I think the list is bad, but the format will be good. (I know, kind of an oxymoron.)

GB's when Samnite comes out will be good.

soooo true!!!
i found last turn at osc for 2 dollars. i picked it up cuz if it ever comes back (not likely) i can be able to use it..

Chaos Sorcerer coming back is good its runnable in lightsworn and Twilight and theres a lot that can counter it so its not as broken as it was before...I thinik it was a good move to bring it back because its not as fast as it once was. I am building a new Twilight with this banned list, please wait for it in deck discussion and be ready to give comments!

you guys are forgetting how much play burn is going to see. baburn will see play, but most likely with the slower meta, chain burn can do lots of damage. I was thinking of making something and siding into burn.

A lightsworn format would be interesting.
Waboku and Threatening Roar would be huge, since they will eventually deck out your opponent, and LS lose after five turns through deck out anyways.

It'd basically be a test as to who can stall the longest, while letting the LS player swarm.

Actually they dont lost at 5 turns Tyler iver gone even longer than that. Typically theyll go about 7 to 10 and still win 65% of the time

In a Lightsworn format, you'll be pressed to swarm, and often deck out by turn 5.

That is not always true since it will depend on the players stategies and card options. I know thati have only decked out 2 times out of about 500 times that ive played with my Lightsworn Deck

But if all of your opponents run LS, which is an incredibly fast deck, won't you be rushed to swarm first, before they can?

thats the thing even you want to swarm it is rarely attained during the first 5 turns i know from my own experience with this deck and playing againts others with the same architype

At least from feature matches, I've seen Lightsworn get its huge swarms out by turn two at most...

A card that wins games as soon as its played, and just by topdecking it will completely turn around the duel should never be legal.

MANY ppl have play CCV on me and did VERY little damage to my deck...
you are right about the turn around though... it can change every thing..
but certain cards can get around that... you and i both know that...

Only because we have to drastically suit our decks to survive one card. No card should be so powerful that it forces people to drastically change their decks just to prepare for the chance it goes off.
