My Reaction:
Forbidden:

"I'm a survivor.I'm gonna make it!" - Morraltach"

-None:For some reason,Konami ought not to ban anything because maybe they believe that there is no card yet worth banning.(But I guess Number 16:Shock Master deserves a spot considering it will not let you play cards which is unhealthy.)

Limited:
-Artifact Morraltach: While the limiting of this card is very unexpected and players tend to consider it a hoax before,well here is a valid evidence for that.While being one of the most annoying shadoll and tellarknights being extremely a popular choice,I barely saw Artifacts topped like they did on February 2014 Format.Well all I can say is this is Konami's clear message to players to try their new products.(Marketing Strategy perhaps.)
disruption cards in the game,due to
-Armageddon Knight: Dark decks are slightly hit in a way. But with the existence of Mathematician,I doubt it will put a great change.
-Dragon Ravine:At last,OCG finally came to realize that this card is one of the main reason why Dragon Rulers are still dominating consecutive formats.Its a good way to tame them down a little bit.
-Dragon Shrine:Double foolish burial is unhealthy.It's like a toned down version of Future Fusion(Which is now banned.).Oh well.
-Needle Bug's Nest: A trap version of Future Fusion is not healthy either.It actually deserves to be banned in my opinion.

Semi-Limited:

"Two is better than one" -Taylor Swift-

-Evilswarm Ophion: Get your Champaigne! Evilswarms are back!Nah,at least they can hinder El-Shadolls a little bit harder now but Tellaknights will definitely laugh at them.But still,It's relatively a weird choice like what they did to Honest and Dark Armed Dragon.We'll see in the future though.
-Elemental HERO Bubbleman:Again,to promote Heroes with the advent of the new Masked Hero Structure deck which is also now beginning to top nowadays.
-Chronomaly Nebra Disk:Stratos on Crack.A very strong card.
-Legendary Six Samurai-Shien:The brother of Ophion.If you combined their names,you can create the word "Annoying".(Hate much? haha).Again,it can hinder opponent's Spell and traps as if you have two  face up Shock Master declaring Spell and traps.But still,Shien is easily removed by the infamous Rank 4 tool box so its not really a problem nowadays.(Unless your playing some spell/trap reliant decks like Spellbooks. You know what I mean)
-Wind-up Shark:Decent addition to the wrecking boat of Wind-ups.

"Let me spell the word Negate" -shien-

-T.g Striker:I don't even know why this card is even in the ban list.Tell me why?(With matching teary eye T.T)
-Mezuki:Who uses zombies nowadays? But I found some interesting combos using Dragon's mirror to summon Draconecro the Nethersoul Dragon! Pretty interesting right?
-Abyss-Sphere:Yes,giving them a pair of balls is good.But please be open-minded with this statement haha!

Unlimited:(up to 3 ofcourse not to infinity and beyond LOL)
-Chaos Sorcerer:Aside from Rogue decks,no one uses this card because BLS is alot better.
-Plaguespreader Zombie:Let's spread the Plague!
-Cyber Stein:Are you willing to pay 5000 life points and be veilered and warninged? Definitely,the answer is no.Soul charge drawback is lot better than this card.And I will not gonna use Effect Veiler and Solemn Warning as verbs ever again.My apology :)
-Rescue Rabbit:Duelists all time favorite Bunny! It's like Bugs Bunny in Looney Tunes but I doubt it's funny when you see this coming.
-Fire Formation -Tenki:Seems like Konami wanted to bring back old decks huh.
-Royal Tribute: Play this VS. Shadolls and I'll watch your reaction after it resolves.
-Black Whirlwind:What's next? Unlimited Gale?
-Sacred Sword of the Seven Stars: A miracle in disguise for the obvious Dragon Rulers.

"Where's that pesky rabbit?"

Overall,I can say that these hits are pretty solid and seemingly OCG wanted to bring back older decks to make the meta more diverse than ever.Although I'm not sure if people will felt these changes(Well aside from Artifacts crying on the corner of the room),I can say that the format is always varying and we have no choice but to adapt on these changes.Yes! It's confirmed! Change is Inevitable!
