The Draconian Banned List
by Jens Kreutzer
using material by Byron 'Neal' Massey
thanks to Kristian Priisholm for the suggestion
Based on a suggestion made by Byron 'Neal' Massey, a new experimental tournament format has become popular with
organizers and players alike. Posted to the Netrunner-L on January 17, 2002, Neal proposed a quite extensive list of
banned cards in order to shake up the Constructed environment. In tournaments that choose to implement this list, the
listed cards must not be included in the players' decks. Here is a quote by Neal that sums up his thoughts: "Under this
list, games will develop over time, instead of happening instantly. I believe it is impossible to ignore your opponent
under this list, although I would be delighted if a deck-building genius proved me wrong. And you'll see some really great
people, like Herman Revista and Jenny Jett, off the unemployment lines."
This list was initially intended to be valid only for a limited period of time, after which it would change. That period
was March 1, 2002 through July 1, 2002, and obviously has elapsed by now. However, since people seem to enjoy the format,
and nobody has bothered to tamper with the list up till now, it's still there in its original form. For the convenience of
players who plan on attending a Constructed tournament that features "Neal's Draconian Banned List", here is the complete
list of cards you should refrain from putting into your decks:
