Well I don't know if this is a rumored list or a suggested list, but I wouldn't hold my breath one way or another. personally i find it a little hard for all to go to 3 I'd almost expect it to go the other way tbh. Trishula could be banned, i seriously doubt Glow Up Bulb and Spore go from 3 to none, I could see them going to 1. Level Limit Area B isn't as strong now since Exceed can get around it on their lack of stars, instead having "ranks" so I can see this going to two. What I find shockingly absent from this list (be it preferred or rumored) is Rescue Rabbit who wouldn't shock me to go down to 1, even though i think two is a little too much i can see that happening as well. Nice bit of discussion but I'm more looking forward to the actual list when it comes out shortly.

Edit: if this really is the OCC changes I would appreciate a link to your sources

Thanks. Well interesting choices and lack of omissions to hit if this is indeed true, although I'm going to remain a little skeptical until i see it announced on the official site.

Despite seeing this on shriek.twoday.net, I was really hoping it wasn't completely true. My Agent deck is going to suffer greatly without a playset of Agent of Mystery - Earth.

Also, why the increase in Torrential Tributes? With two of those and Dark Hole, it feels like field-sweeping is far too easy...

[Goldstandard90]

I can agree with that, although personally I don't think Dark Hole should've ever been unbanned to begin with. We got plenty of ways to destroy monsters: Lightning Vortex (at 3), Torrential Tribute (now at 2), Black Rose Dragon (plus magics and traps), Mirror Force (when they attack wiping out all attack position monsters). I know some decks like to swarm but with the above mentioned I don't think Dark Hole is necessary, sure there's no cost like discarding a card or keeping it at trap speed so you can say it's "better" than the above mentioned but there's a reason why this card was banned for a very long time.
