There is still about a month to go before the banlist is revealed, but there has been a lot of rumours and speculations of to what could happen.
Cards to get banned:----------------------------------------------------
Rescue Cat is a favourite to get banned obviously due to how it speeds up a lot of decks, mainly X-Sabers. Rescue Cat is also being re-released, just like Crush Card Virus did when it got banned...
Cold Wave is another favourite to get banned, though there are many people who can't see why it is so good. Others say that if anything, Cold Wave will get banned before Rescue Cat.
Another card that people target to get banned is Brain Control, obviously because of it's ability to take an opponent's monster and do what they like with it, often ending up in winning a game. I personally don't think that Brain Control will get banned, but it could join Change of Heart and Snatch Steal...
Top Tier decks:------------------------------------------------------------
The best decks at the moment are X-Sabers, Infernities, and Frogs (FTK and Monarch). A lot of the combos these decks can pull off are ridiculous, all of these decks will be hit by the banlist without a question.
Infernities - Launcher will go to 1 without a doubt, and Archfiend will be hit too. Mirage and Necromancer could also be hit in some way.
X-Sabers - Unfortunately, Darksoul won't be hit because it's a TCG Exclusive. Faultroll will go to 1, and Gottoms' Emergency Call could go to 2, or maybe even 1.
Frogs - The FTK is annoying as hell to go against, I still can't believe they released Ronintoadin. I reckon that Substitoad and Ronintoadin will both go to 1, and Mass Driver might even get banned.
Monarchs - It's not just Frog Monarch decks that are good, but all Monarch decks in general are pretty annoying. You might be thinking "How can it get worse?". Well, there is a new monarch coming out called Dirg the Dark Monarch, and it is a good one.
To slow Monarchs down, I think Caius should follow the footsteps of Raiza who got hit about a year ago. Dandylion and Treeborn Frog also need to go back to 1, after Konami's mistake in March when they let them loose back at 2.
Other stuff to be hit:-----------------------------------------------------
Icarus Attack -> Semi-Limited
Machina Gearframe -> Limited
Machina Fortress -> Semi-Limited (I doubt it will though)
Starlight Road -> Limited
Battle Fader -> Limited (Crazy card, especially for Monarchs)
Cards to be brought back:--------------------------------------------
During this format, Zombies and Lightsworns have been dead. Konami will do something to help them out a bit to make them playable, but not too broken.
When Mezuki was at 2, people thought it was way too broken. However, Zombies were completely destroyed when this went to 1. Mezuki should definitely come back to 2 in September.
Emergency Teleport could also come back to 2, as it won't be abused like it did when it was at 3. People forget the normal Psychic decks, which were obliterated when this got Limited. Tele-DAD is gone and it won't come back.
Reinforcement of the Army could also come back to 2, since the only Warrior that top decks search out these days is Dark Grepher.
Tragoedia is another card which wouldn't be abused if it were just to come back to 2.
Destiny Draw needs to come back to 2, since it is pretty useless at 1.
To help out Lightsworns, Necro Gardna needs to come back to 2 for a start. I also think that either Lumina or Charge will come back to 2, I personally think it will be Lumina.
Cards to come back from banned:---------------------------------
There have been some people say cards such as Pot of Greed, Dark Hole, and Magician of Faith will come back. I know for a fact that none of these cards will come back for a looooong time, or maybe will stay banned forever.
Tsukuyomi, Imperial Order, and Tribe-Infecting Virus are cards that seem to come up often. I wouldn't be surprised if any of these cards came back.
And last of all, I am going to say something that a lot of people will hate me for. I think that Dark Strike Fighter should come back to 1. A lot of people will say "If DSF comes back. I'm just gonna quit Yu-Gi-Oh!"
Here is my case, LV7 Synchros suck really badly. The only decent ones are Black Rose (which is Limited and blows itself up) and Armor Master (where you need a Blackwing).
Dark Strike Fighter went straight from 3 to 0, without any test to see if it wouldn't be as broken at 1. I reckon that this card will come back to 1, and if you don't like it then just don't go blabbering to everyone. Sell your cards to people who actually care about Yu-Gi-Oh and aren't sore about every little thing that happens.
And those are predictions for the September banlist. If you have anything to add to it, then please post your idea
