Reverse the two-per-deck restriction implementing in Japan on January 1, 2013.

The introduced restrictions are dangerous for the health of the game. Although the three clans affected by the policy have dominated the Japanese format, which may call for necessary change, we do not agree this to be the proper way of doing so.

While this action has currently only been taken for the Japanese version of the game, we should expect this same action to affect the English version when BT09 is released. This is the same situation that occurred when Bushiroad stated that Barcgal would not be restricted for the English version, and then decided to restrict it upon the release of BT03, just as they did in Japan. This kind of restriction sets the standard for future restrictions, and diminishes the health of the game.

Bushiroad continues to release crossrides and other mechanics that allow the player to gain advantage. The dominance of Gold Paladin in the English meta is a good example of this, as well as the crossride printed for Blond Ezel in BT09. This is the proper method of sufficiently balancing the game, and it will allow for the game to continue to grow. The solution is to continue to print new cards that implement strategies that can overcome decks like Majesty Lord Blaster and Dragonic Overlord The End, rather than to limit these decks to the point that they are no longer playable. Additionally, if the goal of the company is to expand the competitive scene, restricting the current competition-defining cards will only result in a few new decks taking their positions. Instead of expanding the competitive scene, cards are simply replaced. In the future the variety does not grow, rather it favors just a few strategies - strategies that will be evaluated using this exact same method.

As players, it's up to us to make our voices heard. Bushiroad seems to try to do what's right for the players. Let's let them know that this is not the path that we want to see our game follow.
