Generation Force Set Review

Hello,everybody its grant here! Today i will talk about the set Generation force which sneak peek is 6 days away. It is quite the interesting set bring the complete release of xyz monsters(not all but several good ones). Xyzs are summoned by stacking monsters of the same level.Easiest summon yet! Almost wants to make me stak my cards and call "manna"(if you play magic the gathering, which i dont but some of my friends do). Anyway this set brings birth to yugioh zexal and will be released two days after worlds.

What it brings:
This set brings us several deck archtypes such as banisharks and wind-up. Banisharks are basically more aqua support that revolves around the banished zone. It looks like a very interesting deck that i will profile once the set comes out. Wind-up is basically a group of monsters whose effects happen when they are face up and can only use them once while they are face-up.No need to worry about that however, cuz of the rank 4 xyz monster called wind-up zenmaster, which flips face up monsters on your side of the field face down and flips them during the end phase.Both decks sound interesting for new players.

Revival:
This set also revives other cards and archtypes.
Deep Sea diva is now viable in banisharks allowing for synchro and xyz summoning. Wiseman's Chalice(released in duelist rev) is a mind control for xyz monsters, as it steals and revives an oppenent's monster but it cant be used for synchro material but it can for xyz material. Also, zombies come back from the dead thanks to pain painter and blue-blooded oni. Pain painter is basically a plague only on the field that modulates the level of up to two zombie monsters to two until the end phase.It makes archfiend zombie-skull viable, gachi-gachi gantetsu required, and lets you synchro summon the powerful zombie synchros. Blue-Blooded oni is also a zombie which allows you to detatch a xyz material from any xyz monster on your field to special a level 4 or lower zombie from your grave. Zombies not only get another plague but another mezuki as well, but more balanced. Also, heroes become good with e-hero nova master, and the intro to masked and vision heroes and other hero support. I have no doubt heroes will become tier 1 with this and the support in Legendary Collection 2.

Most Notable Cards:

Steelswarm Roach: 2 level 4 monsters required for summon. When a level 5 or higher monster is special summoned, detach one xyz material to negate the summon and destroy it. Wow, this is amazing. Any deck that can spam level 4 will love this card(blackwings, miracle gemini, gks, karakuri,etc.). This card basically tells synchros, fusions, Cyber Dragon, Judgement Dragon, Dark Armed Dragon and others, "Screw the rules, I GOT THE POWER."

Orient Dragon:
When this card is synchro summoned, you can banish one synchro monster. This is pretty cool! This pretty much says the f word to stardust, shi en and other notable cards. This may also be a sign that brionac might get banned due to this basically being a watered-down brionac.

Levair the Sea dragon:
2 level 3 monsters required. Once per turn, you can detach one xyz material to special summon 1 level 4 banished monster. Ah, players that run this card can be happy! No more will players have to cry over their monsters getting removed by D fissure, M Cosmos, Retiari, as well as D.D Crow. This card may as well be the reason why dandy might get banned next format. If you havent seen dubkdad1's video on levair, it has some stupid combos with the plant engine.

Number 34 Terror-Byte
3 level 3 monsters required. Once per turn, you can detach one xyz material to take control of 1 level 4 or lower face up atk position monster your opponent controls until the end phase. Ok, i can use a watered down brain control, cool. This is good with decks that run tour guide.

Tiras and Adreus
They both need 2 level 5 monsters. They both can destroy a card on your oppenent's field. However, Tiras cannot be destroyed by card effects as long as it has xyz materials, but it targets and destroy a card if it attacked or was attacked,and at an end phase you have to detach a xyz material from it.  However, Adreus can automatically detach an xyz material from it, to target and destroy a card your oppenent has.
If machinas go up against these two and u target fortress, u lose a card from your hand.Tiras and Adreus are both good cards but can only be used in dark world, fabled, wind up, and a deck that uses gagaga magician(level modulater that can only be used for xyz summoning).

That's my entire thoughts on Generation Force! If konami hits tengu, librarian, trunade  and brings heavy back in the next format, I think it will be a very fun,skillful,diverse format until photon shockwave. Until my next post, good bye!

My yugioh banlist predictions for september 2011

Just my predictions for fixing the meta and making the game more skillful.

Forbidden:
t.g hyper librarian
dandylion
future fusion
mind master
giant trunade
monster reborn

Limited:
trishula
avarice
shien's smoke signal
double edged
formula
black rose
heavy
mst
warning

Semi Limited:
tengu
six sam united
dewloren
destiny draw
e tele
book of moon

Reasons:
forbidden
Hyper Librarian-too many combos, busted, only need 1 to win, 2 for backup.
Dandylion-busted combos, easily revivable, effect goes off with xyzs, levair the sea dragon combos
future fusion-ftk
mind master-ftk
giant trunade-once played 80% chance of victory, 15% chance of leaving your oppenent locked down, 5% chance of being negated, has to go
monster reborn-One of my favorite spells, but easily abusable, a free special summon and a great topdeck
has to go
limited
trishula-obvious reasons
avarice- skilless card, if go to 1 it makes players think before they use their avarice
smoke signal- rota for sams, belongs with charge and rota
double edged- a double monster reborn for sams but not broken enough to get banned
formula- even if librarian goes, it enables too many combos
black rose- one of those synchros u should only use once; usually a plus
heavy- the only card that punishes backrow extension, makes players think before they set
mst- cuz heavy came back
warning- A better bottomless that negates a summon that stops the monster's effect. Not good for the game.
semi limited
tengu- it doesn't matter if it is an exclusive, it has to go to 2, its busted and another one of the factors that makes this format luckbased, skilless
six sam united- a pot of greed that rewards sams for special summoning, would limit but i already limited smoke signal and double edged.
dewloren- i honestly believe this card should never have gone back to 3, it enables trish loop and thus returns to its rightful place.
destiny draw-not broken at 2, gives d heroes a chance.
e tele- with mind master banned it is not broken(doubt it will happen though)
book of moon-it is not a threat to the game, u have to know when to use it and when u do its a -1.

Intro

Hello fellow yugioh people! My name is Grant. I'm here to give u my thoughts on everything yugioh.
I have been playing competitive yugioh since the end of the dark strike fighter era(glad i wasn't around for that).However, since then i have become skillful and knowledgable about the game. The Current deck i play right now is the agents. I will post the decklist after I have posted my predictions for the banlist.
