This document is Copyright 2005 Kevin Wang. This time, I've decided to let only
GameFAQs and myself use this list. My apologies to anyone who hosted my World
Championship Tournament 2004 FAQ, but you may still host it. An asterisk (*)
instead of a period before a limited card's name means that it is new to its
list. Interestingly enough, every list except the Forbidden list has nine cards
new to it. This document is best viewed in Courier New font, 10 Point, with the
window maximized. ^_^

that I got off of
http://www.upperdeckentertainment.com/yugioh/forb_advanced_new.aspx. All credit

Upper Deck Entertainment - well, I'm not sure what they did…
PikabIu - for telling me about the Yu-Gi-Oh! GBA tournament AGAIN
darknesswaters - for paying me $35 USD when he could have paid me well over $200

FINAL WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR
---------------------------
First off, get Gmail and Firefox if you haven't already!
http://isnoop.net/gmail
http://getfirefox.com
Now that THAT'S out of the way, I plan on going to my local GameStop on or
before Wednesday, March 2, 2005 to buy a copy of Yu-Gi-Oh! 7 Trials to Glory:
World Championship Tournament 2005. Yes, I vowed to quit Yu-Gi-Oh! just several
months ago, but that was before I knew that there would be another tournament,
and tournaments mean prize money! As of Friday, February 25, 2005, I'm not quite
sure how it will work, but these sites will likely update soon with information:
http://www.konami.com/gs/worldchampionship2005/
http://www.dslgem.com/2005tournament/
I'm still not sure if the World Championship 2005 tournament will be for the
real-life TCG or 7 Trials to Glory, but these two pictures taken directly from
the above sites show that it will probably be the latter instead of the former
(which is what I'm hoping for; I don't have a real-life deck… otherwise I will
have wasted $30!):

PikabIu, I hope to see you at the tournament. Good luck. If they hold a
tournament for Nightmare Troubadour, I hope to see you there, too.
