    The REAL reason Gladiator Beast are not on the ban list.

    The RnD staff worked on the ban list for sept. 1st for weeks.

    The thought it would be funny to "Tag Out" the Gladiators from the ban list.

    So, now you know how the ban list was made!!!

    GG.

    The fact that the Gladiator Beasts weren't touched is a purely financial decision.

    It will continue to drive sales of the following sets:
    Gladiator's Assault - Most GBs, Defensive Tactics
    Phantom Darkness - Darius
    Light of Destruction - Gyzarus
    The Duelist Genesis Special Edition - Herkalinos
    Crossroads of Chaos - New TCG Exclusive Gladiator Beast

    You forget Slave Tiger in the Extra Pack, for OCG Players.

    I purposefully didn't mention him because of the fact that this is the TCG Forums, not the OCG forums.

    yet there are many threads that discuss OCG cards and mechanics

    OCG cards become TCG cards upon release by UpperDeck Entertainment or Shonen Jump (magazine/manga/championship).  New game mechanics introduced in Japan will be introduced here when the cards are released for them.  This is why those OCG cards and mechanics are discussed.

    Don't forget about Equeste and Chariot in TDGS.

    I agree, though, purely financial. They are probably going to see how Japan will be affected when Test Tiger is released for them, then do some emergency banning shenanigans once we have put millions into the afrementioned sets. I swear, emergency banning has become too commonplace (darn you Cyber-Stein!!!), we should have 3 month increments between lists.

    So ultimately it's an indifferent attitude towards the players in favor of a short term surge in profit.


    That's not a sound business decision.

    Yeah, Terrible companies that just want to make money, even if they need to change rarities and make short print secrets.

    Re: The REAL reason Gladiator Beast are not on the ban list.

    i don't remember if i read -what i'm about to say- in these forums or somewhere else, but this game is not tournament oriented, we are not the primary target.

    i know tournaments move a lot of people and money, but the real primary target is the kids that follow the anime on TV and want to buy the cards they watch in TV. at least here in Costa Rica, there are tons of kids that have their parents buy them booster packs, but those kids never attend to tournaments or similar.

    also, why would they bann the deck that will generate a lot of money with the upcoming releases (as previously stated).

    ps. @ johnist: that's a real nice sig.
