New OCG banlist (which has more influence on Master Duel than the TCG banlist since MD's initial banlist was based on the OCG one)

Adventure Engine is dead with Gryphon Rider being banned (Enchantress got put back to 2 in return though since it was at 1 in the OCG before) and Buster Lock is dead with Union Carrier being banned. Those both sound like great news. Floowandereeze is probably dead with a limit to Map and semi-limit to Dimensional Shifter. Sprights and Tearlaments (two archetypes not in MD yet but that have been dominating the OCG) got multiple big hits and Sprights in particular are probably dead, plus Frogs got their grave pissed on as collateral damage with the Swap Frog hit. Lightning Storm to 2 is weird but the OCG likes their awkward consistency hit semi-limits for some weird reason.

They also brought back Yata-Garasu and Time Seal like the TCG did (no one will play them because the meta has passed them by) and they eased up a few restrictions to help old archetypes. Widow Anchor to 3 makes me happy as a Sky Striker player, all of the "normal summon Aleister" chads out there will be happy about Magical Meltdown to 3, Pendulum players get another Double Iris Magician, and @GallisOTK ya boy Genex Ally Birdman is finally free.
