New Yu-Gi-Oh OCG Banlist: Toadally Awesome & Halqifibrax Banned + Hits to Floowandereeze & Despia and More

In an attempt to shake up some of the monotony the strong archetypes introduced in pasts sets, this newly announced Forbidden & Limited List mostly deals with unlimiting cards and diversifying the meta. It will go into effect starting next month, July 1st 2022. 

It doesn't seem too long ago that we've covered the Tier 0 Splight metagame the OCG had established. Since then, lots of revelations came to be, and it's pretty much been dethroned by Tearalaments.
