Yu-Gi-Oh! Lista de Cartas Prohibidas Abril 2014

Mucho se rumorea respecto al nuevo Ban List que Konami revelará en los próximos días. En este post haremos un pequeño análisis de algunos criterios que nuestros amigos de Konami toman antes de publicar una nueva lista de cartas prohibidas, en base a los últimos acontecimientos y torneos que se han desarrollado a la fecha.
Abuso de Cartas/Decks
Cuando uno ingresa al mundo de los duelos, espera encontrar variedad de oponentes y estrategias y es en ese momento donde el juego resulta entretenido e interesante. Pero que sucede cuando la gran mayoría decide construir el mismo deck, ¿no sería algo como que todos vistieran igual?. Verdad que si! Imagínate enfrentarte al mismo deck una y otra vez... seria completamente aburrido y monótono. El abuso de cartas/decks ocurre cuando existe una combinación muy sobresaliente, la cual todos los jugadores desean imitar. Para evitar esto, Konami propone un Ban List que restrinja el uso de esas cartas y que diversifique el juego, por lo cual estos días seremos testigos del recorte a algunos decks TOP como Fire Fist, Mermaid, Bujin y Giargia.
El Negocio
No podemos culpar a una empresa por buscar la rentabilidad, sería absurdo! Por ello debemos tener en cuenta que la lista en parte también esta supeditada a que los nuevos arquetipos sean vistosos para el público y que esto se refleje en las ventas para Konami. Entonces nos queda reflexionar ¿Cuáles son los nuevos productos de Konami? Ahí podemos ver que algunas cartas que son soporte para las nuevas expansiones no serán tocadas en este nuevo Ban List, se me ocurren algunos nombres como Lonefire Blossom para el Deck Sylvan, Mystical Space Typhoon para el Deck Artifact entre otros.
Loops y OTKs
Los loops son estrategias que jugadores ingeniosos idean para repetir una y otra vez un efecto que lo lleve a ganar rapidamente el duelo. Estos vacios inesperados son corregidos mediante el Ban List. También ocurre que algunas cartas sean prohibidas o restringidas en prevencion a que cartas de expansiones venideras en combinancion con antiguas creen un deck que gane en un turno conocido popularmente como OTK (One Turn Kill). Aquí solo se me ocurre el Deck Jackspot 7.
