Wuz crackalackin' Duelists, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. I be here ta brang you tha straight-up first ARG Banlist fo' tha freshly smoked up ARG Format. Before we git tha fuck into tha list I wanna explain tha process up in how tha fuck we made tha list n' we will give some explanationz of why we banned or restricted some cards. Us thugs will also be rockin dis list fo' tha next four ARG Circuit Series events, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. They is ARG Circuit Series Charlotte, ARG Circuit Series Providence, Da Player’s Championship, n' tha ARG Circuit Championship. So fo' dis format we is ghon be givin away over $40,000 durin tha next month. Us dudes do not plan rockin dis list fo' every last muthafuckin future ARG Circuit Event. We may gotz a Circuit here or there dat will use dis list but dat aint tha intention of tha list. Most of tha events we will use tha list at is tha 1K events dat is ran on Sundayz of a Circuit Series, ARG Metro Series events, or at a ARG Circuit Series all up in tha end of a straight-up legit banlist or when playas is bugged out or priced outta gettin tha cardz ta play a cold-ass lil certain deck. But given tha fact dat tha freshly smoked up list still has not been busted out by tha manufacturer n' tha stalenizz of tha current list we feel dat dis list is tha right decision fo' tha events hustlin all up in tha ARG Circuit Championship. We also do not want tha straight-up legit list ta come up a random time n' git tha fuck into a thang where duelists aint gots enough time ta prepare fo' one of our events.

Let me go tha fuck into tha process of how tha fuck we made tha list. Our thugged-out asses gotz a cold-ass lil committee of bigged up playas n' judges dat submitted they lists ta ARG. We then compiled tha lists n' saw what tha fuck chizzlez tha majoritizzle of dem wanted done. We also put a cold-ass lil card on a Facebizzle poll dat was borderline if it could come back n' tha committee was slightly up in favor of dis tha card comin back. In order ta brang dat card back though our crazy asses had ta restrict / ban other cards. Once we compiled tha list we took it ta other bigged up thugz of tha hood dat was not on tha committee ta peep they thoughts n' we made tha final two chizzlez ta tha list. Our asses aint disclosin namez of whoz ass is on tha committee or tha others whoz ass finalized tha list up in order ta protect future lists, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Da list was finalized by tha ARG staff n' tha non-committee playas. Our asses aint goin ta hold tha list ta a cold-ass lil certain date up in termz of needin ta emergency ban something. If a cold-ass lil card be a problem we aint gonna wait until tha next list we will emergency ban it or restrict dat shit. Us thugs wanna keep tha flexibilitizzle of tha list so it will keep changin if necessary. Also, tha goal of tha list is tryin ta make tha format have multiple decks, upwardz of five or six as well as brang some decks back dat was dead as fuckin fried chicken. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Single deck formats is straight-up skill intensive but they is borin n' playas git sick of playin dem rather doggystyle. Without further ado here is tha chizzlez we made ta tha current list: thus I present you tha ARG July 7th 2015 Format.

Banned: Djinn Releaser of Rituals Fusion Gate Lavalval Chain Nekroz of Trishula Royal Magical Library Vanityz Emptiness Restricted ta 1: Cir, Malbrizzle of tha Burnin Abyss El Shaddoll Construct El-Shaddoll Fusion Elemenstrual Pimp Bubbleman Elemenstrual Pimp Stratos Instant Fusion Mistake Nekroz of Unicore Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity Restricted ta 2: Dante, Travela of tha Burnin Abyss Dragon Ravine Inzektor Hornet Rescue Rabbit Summonerz Art Torrential Tribute Wind-Up Magician No Longer Restricted: Chaos Sorcerer Dark Hole Glow-up Bulb Sacred Sword of Seven Stars

At tha end of tha article I'ma post tha entire list wit these cardz up in it as well as a link ta a google spreadshizzle wit tha list. As tha playas n' judges busted up in they lists they explained a shitload of they chizzlez n' I'ma go tha fuck into dem wit you, biatch. I'ma also explain what tha fuck tha ARG staff thought of tha chizzlez as well.

Djinn Releaser of Rituals & Vanity’s Emptinizz (Banned) - There was three cardz dat was on almost if not all of tha committee memberz lists n' these was two of dem wild-ass muthafuckas. These cardz do not allow you ta play tha game n' it make tha game less fun.

Fusion Gate (Banned) & Elemenstrual Pimp Bubbleman (Restricted ta 1) - With brangin back Stratos our crazy asses had ta hit a cold-ass lil couple cardz or we felt Heroes would be too bangin naaahhmean, biatch? One committee member wanted Bubbleman banned as well n' ta put Stratos at 3. Overall we feel dat Stratos aint tha problem card of tha deck since Reinforcement of tha Army n' E - Emergency Call is unrestricted anyways. If Bubbleman becomes a problem then we will peep it further n' shit. We also banned Fusion Gate ta stay tha fuck away from tha OTK wit Blaze Fenix n' its combos wit Heroes.

Lavalval Chain (Banned) - Almost every last muthafuckin member wanted dis card banned n' tha ones dat did not wanted it restricted ta one. In one member’s explanations da perved-out muthafucka holla'd it is consistently tha centerpiece of degenerate FTKs (Blue-Blooded Oni), overpower combo decks (Infernity), n' lock strategies (Djinn).

Nekroz of Trishula (Banned) - One committee member freestyled dat Trishula is so much mo' bangin than every last muthafuckin other card dat is currently legal n' it is tha only part of Nekroz dat make it so dominate. If we outright ban tha card Nekroz is still a playable deck but it aint tha dominizzle deck.

Royal Magical Library (Banned) - This be a pre-emptizzle ban. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Dat shiznit was also tha third card dat every last muthafuckin committee member wanted banned. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! With tha cardz dat is comin up fo' dis deck our phat asses do not wanna have OTKs.

Cir, Malbrizzle of tha Burnin Abyss (Restricted ta One) & Dante, Travela of tha Burnin Abyss (Restricted ta Two) - With hittin Nekroz Burnin Abyss becomes tha main contender n' leavin it untouched would leave it too strong. Cir loopin Dantes is what tha fuck gives Burnin Abyss all of they advantage. Burnin Abyss’ game probably endz when they run outta Cir’s ta loop. This be also tha reason we restricted Dante ta two. When Burnin Abyss runs outta Dantes it is hard as fuck fo' dem ta make plays.

El Shaddoll Fusion (Restricted ta One) & El Shaddoll Construct (Restricted ta One) - With hittin Burnin Abyss n' Nekroz we also did not want Shaddolls ta become too bangin dis is why they was touched.

Instant Fusion (Restricted ta One) - This be a preemptizzle hit. With Noden comin up it would be too powerful.

Mistake (Restricted ta One) - Mistake be a gangbangin' floodgate card n' havin three of a gangbangin' floodgate card has not been a phat thang. It straight-up shuts down decks from playin tha game.

Nekroz of Unicore (Restricted ta One) - Almost every last muthafuckin single committee member wanted dis card restricted ta one cuz of its negation effect.

Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaitizzle (Restricted ta One) & Wind-Up Magician (Restricted ta Two) - Almost every last muthafuckin committee member wanted Wind-Ups ta come back. If tha deck goes first it loses consistency cuz of only startin wit five cardz up in hand n' you cannot loop dem fo' they entire hand like minutes past. Some thugz wanted Magician ta git all up in three as well but mo' of dem wanted it ta git all up in two.

Dragon Ravine (Restricted ta Two) - With Dragon Rulaz gone dis card aint problematic. This gives Dragunitys a cold-ass lil chizzle ta come back. Some thugz even broke off some disrespec dat is should git all up in three. We felt less thuggy puttin it at two put it has tha potential of takin it ta three.

Inzektor Hornet (Restricted ta Two) - Every committee member wanted Inzektors ta cook up some fuckin sort of comeback but dat shiznit was just a matta of how. Some playas wanted Hornet banned n' take Dragonfly ta three. Some wanted ta Dragonfly n' Hornet ta both git all up in two but most thugz thought tha deck could become too bangin up in dat case. Da majoritizzle of tha committee wanted tha only chizzle of tha deck is ta take Hornet ta two n' dat was tha path dat was taken.

Rescue Rabbit (Restricted ta Two) - A majoritizzle of tha committee wanted tha card ta come back dat shiznit was just a matta of how tha fuck nuff copies. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! With Tour Guide bein restricted ta one we felt dat tha card can come back but our phat asses did not wanna take it ta three yet.

Yo, summoner’s Art (Restricted ta Two) - A majoritizzle of tha committee wanted ta hit dis card dat shiznit was just a matta is ta put it at one or two. Mo' of dem wanted it at two fo' now, nahmeean, biatch? With tha release of Waverin Eyes it may put Qliphort over tha top so we may gotta take a peep tha deck.

Torrential Tribute (Restricted ta Two) - Most committee thugz want dis card ta git all up in at least two if not three. We felt dat takin it ta two was safe. There is currently a shitload of mass removal up in tha format as it is so it should be aiiight ta come back ta two.

No Longer on list cardz (Chaos Sorcerer / Dark Hole / Glow-Up Bulb / Sacred Sword of Seven Stars) - Dark Hole aint even gettin play at its maximum capacitizzle now so takin it ta three should not matter n' shit. Chaos Sorcerer gets ta come back ta try ta brang back some light/darknizz variants, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Da Dragon rulaz is banned so Sacred Sword of Seven Stars is no longer as impressive as it once was. Glow-Up Bulb’s effect can only be used once up in a game so we thought brangin it ta three would not chizzle thangs dat much.
