The main change the September 2006 list did bring was CHAOS SORCERER being banned, which meant the effective death of chaos decks and their domination over the game. Other hits were the bans of THOUSAND-EYES RESTRICT, TSUKUYOMI and TIME SEAL.

Soon enough new contenders would rise, such as Monarchs and a very powerful card would shape the format: CYBER-STEIN.

CYBER-STEIN was a high risk, high reward card. You had to have more than 5000 LPs to use it and the guarantee that its use won’t backfire on you. But the sheer power and OTKs it provided were just too good that the card would soon become a staple played in pretty much every deck, including its own OTK-based deck and Monarchs which would tech in a copy or a few of it for the game ending possibilities it gave the deck.

TREEBORN FROG, released a few months ago in SHADOW OF INFINITY, was the go-to card if you wanted reliable and re-usable tribute fodder. It made Monarchs a true force to be reckoned with. Other tribute engines included CYBER DRAGON and the spellcaster engine (APPRENTICE MAGICIAN getting OLD VINDICATIVE MAGICIAN or MAGICIAN OF FAITH from the deck, to not only use their effects but as tribute fodder, too).

One of the most lethal combos the deck had was using any monster to summon ZABORG THE THUNDER MONARCH or MOBIUS THE FROST MONARCH to clear the field, the using LAST WILL and summon CYBER-STEIN to get CYBER TWIN DRAGON for game.

Other relevant decks included WARRIOR TOOLBOX or you could just play a deck based around using CYBER-STEIN for its OTK power. For reference, here’s DAVID RODRIGUEZ’s SJC winning deck for SAN JOSE:

The “format” would end on December 21st following the emergency ban on CYBER STEIN.
