Grow-up Bulb - Level 1 tuner which can bring back itself, splashable in many decks. I personally do not think that they should hit this card. I think dandylion is a greater threat though.
Spore - Another tuner which brings back itself. Junk Doppels got hit hard this time. Two key tuners taken out from the deck, access to Formula Synchron will be much harder. Use an Effect Veiler? Tech in an Unknown Synchron?
Trishula - One of the most iconic cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! now banned. What is this? Yep, no doubt this card can sometimes really mess up your opponent, many meta decks now can come back after getting 'Trishula-ed'. Seriously, why this and not BLS? I guess we will miss the fun we had with this guy.
Trap Dustshoot - Seen this coming. A card which should go. Approve.
Limited

The Agent of Mystery - Earth - Yep. Konami still did not hit any feature card of a Structure Deck yet. So to kill Agents? Take out more consistency from the deck by hitting their search power. They probably didn't want to hit Venus as people might just play Jupiter to make up for the loss. Do not really agree with this hit as Agents are already not doing as well as they used to; thanks to Inzecter and Lagia decks everywhere. Plus now with Trishula gone...
Tech Genus Striker - Level 2 tuner which can be special summoned easily. No problem with this hit.
Semi-limited
----------------
Marshmallon - Not really much to say here. Stall/burn decks will be happy. Although this thing will not survive a turn against Inzecters.
Lightlord Summoner Luminous - Yeah! Lightlords finally got abit more support. No more "My charge mill away my Lumina now nothing to search!". More speed for this archetype which have been dead for a long time. Approve.
Emergency Teleport - Another card which many predicted will come back. No problem with this.
Shien's Smoke Signal - Although Six Samurais are still powerful, this at 2 should have been how the September 2011 banlist should look like.
Level Limit Area B - Nothing much to talk about here either. With so many backrow removal, this card will not survive long anyway.
Torrential Tribute - Good! More reason to play Starlight Road. Lol!
Ultimate Offering - This should have been the case in the last banlist where offering gadgets are more dominant. Maybe Konami might be planning to release some imbal Rank 4 soon and this prevents offering gadgets from abusing it.
Reborn Tengu - At first everyone was like WTF? We don't even have Tengu. People are now speculating that the Starter Deck 2012 might give OCG Reborn Tengu. Thus the hit.

Call of the Haunted - Trololol. 4 'Monster Reborn's. Sangan and the likes, Knight of the End and Card Gunner are now happy. Or maybe Darklord Superbia can be abused to troll the shit out of people by summoning 2 big fairies in their face
