I was just discussing this with a few YGO players at a pre-release today, and was wondering what the general Pokemon community though:
Would you be in favor or Pokemon doing away with their yearly rotation, and instead implementing an annual/bi-annual ban/restricted list?
For those who aren't aware, a ban/restricted list basically means that OP would take a look at what cards are winning a lot, and either ban them completely, or restrict the number of copies you can use. So if something were to win every Cities in the U.S., you can bet it would be banned. However, if something won a good number and top cut almost all, you may see a few cards from that deck get restricted to 1 or 2 copies/deck.
What does everybody think? Personally, I'm not sure how I feel. On one hand, the ability to keep cards around forever is nice, but on the other hand a part of me would rather know what I'm going to lose than to have to be upset that cards I bought last month are being banned. Not quite sure.
