Mind Control. Chances of it being banned?

So today, we will discuss Yugioh's most  impoertant card. A common card that will be seen in many decks. Be it Junk Doppler, Six Sam, Gravekeepers, Herobeat, TGAA etc etc.

Mind Control!

Mind control is a card that will turn a table in any duel. Despite the fact that the controlled monster will return to its owner and it cannot attack or be used as a tribute, it serves many functions

Its functions varies, lets have a few classical examples:

1) Moves your opponent's monster out of the way, for a direct attack

2) Make use of the controlled monster for synchros and xyz. For worst case, Chaos XYZ with your opponent's Utopia.

3) Took control of BLS/Chaos Sorcerer and removed itself from play. (Now that is troll!)

4) If you are having a mirror match of TGAA, this card can be used to take control of your opponent's Master Hyperion. You can then use its eff to clear troublesome monster like Krystia that is prevent you from doing your TGAA stunts.

Some people claim that this card is too imba in this era! It gives your opponent a -1! while you are able to turn the tables.
While other's claim that this card is the one that balances tha game against meta decks.

In my opinion, There is not much of a chance that Mind Control will be banned:
it is due to these few reasons.

Even if this card is banned, what Control Card will be unbanned?

Brain Control?: No way, the monster controlled can attack, and that may changed the entire game. While Mind Control has its restriction, so even if you took control of the monster with Mind Control, it may not really give you the 100% win.

Goyo Guardian?: Well. hmm it is hard to decide for this one.
Goyo guardian was a card that had caused some trouble in the game due to these few reasons

1) It put hesitation in players that had hyperion in hand or were planning to summon something less than 2800 when they can see that their oponent can summon  Goyo Guardian on the next turn.

2)Previously Goyo Guardian was good due to the fact that people splashed synchros like Stardust Dragon, Brionac. Goyo Guardian can  took them, the controller was able to use their effects.

However, some people claim that Goyo Guardian may be unbanned due to the reasons below:

1) In this era, XYZ monsters are introduced and Goyo Guardian can only steal them and not allow the player to use their effects.

2) There are cards like BLS, veiler, DP..... etc etc to stop him.

This is my Fruit for thought. What do you think?
