Now can I say..Woah. This is what I call Konami stepping in and hitting on everything that's even half dominating the format right now. I've personally never seen a list this long for changes to the list. My biggest surprise is me calling Mirror Force right at 2! I just threw that out there as a Konami wild card and there it is! Enough about my bragging though. We need to talk about how each deck got hit, what decks got help, and what decks will dominate the first half of the upcoming format!
Inzektors: Gotta start off with this deck. We lost 4 cards in this deck. The bad news is it will be much harder to see your Hornet, and to pop 2 cards on the first turn. This is rather unfortunately now because the deck is now about dead. I could see Inzektors become a potential engine in another deck though. However, the good news is that we still have the Zektkaliber combo in the deck for us to use! Hitting Dragonfly instead of Centipede might have just saved this deck by a thread! All we can do is hope someone has an imagination to save it.
Chaos Dragons: BAHAHAHA! This deck got hit hard! No more Future Fusion! That card created instant setup for a first turn win if the hand is right. Not to mention that REDMD will be at 1, so now the deck's Lightpulsar loop will be more unstable to keep up! If you can banish the lone REDMD, the loop will be over! I'm sure Darkflare Dragon won't be too harmful though should that come back instead. Another bad thing is that we lost TWO Chaos Sorcerers! I guess that's what happens when we have 3 Lightpulsar Dragons, 3 Darkflare Dragons, and BLS along with Sorcerer.
Wind-Up's: No more hand looping like 4 cards on turn 1! Tell you the truth though, this deck has more of an outside box that Inzektors do. There are many Wind-Up monsters that we don't use now that we'll "Wind-Up" turning to now! The biggest threat this deck serves now is Wind-Up Shark for a Rank 5. I'll leave it to everyone out there to think outside the box on how to break this deck once again.
Classic Chaos: 2 Sorcerers gone = R.I.P. Start making Chaos Dragons and get in with the trend. Not much else to say here.
Rabbit: This deck got a little scratch if anything. It's been proven that 2 Rabbit can still win tournaments. -1 Tour Guide = +1 Tour Bus. That is all. Rabbit Players; Have fun dominating the first half of the format.
Now we can mention the decks that got some help from this list!
Tele-DAD: Wow. 3 Destiny Draws, 3 Emergency Teleports, and what not. Will this deck come alive again and win big events like it was 2008? Maybe not like then, but it will be a deck option to use for the format. Now lets just pray that E-Teleport gets reprinted in a Special Edition or a Tin.
Plants: They're BAAAAAACK! Just without Bulb though. Perhaps Spore can make way into a Tele-DAD deck too I suppose. Oh and with Debris Dragon at 2 now, I'm making this deck the deck of choice! I challenge someone to make D-Hero Plants! Did I mention that I'm in before another Plant YCS win?
Lightsworn: 3rd Necro Gardna = DE-FENCE! :P I guess if we're gonna have aggro decks, why not, right?
Blackwings: 2nd Kalut might have boosted this deck up more than you think! I want Goyo back now!
Empty Jar: Tsukuyomi = another Book of Moon. Win!
Agents: One more Earth could really make a huge difference in this deck. I wonder who would like to try a tech Rabbit in this deck with Shining Friendships?
There are other decks that got small help from this list, but I'll let you think about that. Now to conclude to what Konami did with this list, and what I think the story is all about when making it.
They're reminding everyone that Synchro's are in the game still. We might have lost Brionac due to the future of the game being really dumb, but we have Laval's, Gusto's, and Plants and Tele-DAD have made returns thanks to this list. Last format was the format of the Xyz's. Konami wanted everyone to use the new black cards so they could make more money. Now that we have them into our game's system, we can now use Synchro's competitively again!
And there you have it guys! The review of this list! I know I didn't do the best job writing this, but I'm sure you guys can think harder than I can on this list at this point. All I can say is good luck, and have fun losing to Rabbit and Plants for the next couple of months!
