Decks to look out for september 1st part 1:blackwings

Hey its grant again. I'm going to do a 3 part discussion on some of the decks to look out for next format. Although the banlist isnt out yet, im pretty sure the 3 decks that i discuss will be a challenge next format.
For the first part i will talk about blackwings.
As you probably know, blackwings are dark attributed winged beasts that debuted in crimson crisis but became meta with the support in raging battle. One thing i like about blackwings is that no matter how hard
konami hits them, they dont die and come back stronger(like elmer fudd and bugs bunny).

At the start of this format, blackwings took a huge beating with the loss of goyo guardian(the best level 6 synchro for blackwings),2 kalut(their honest),2 book of moon(another good defensive card), and 1 icarus attack(their destruction card). Due to these hits, blackwings struggled for survival, but it was hard to beat six sams, miracle gemini, and other fast paced decks. With the release of duelist pack crow, they received one of their best support cards since ancient prophecy-zephyros the elite. Zephyros is like glow up bulb, except you return a card on the field to special summon him, and you take 400 damage(which isnt much as life points don't matter anymore). The combos that you create with zephyros, blackwings gained more popularity again. Plus, with the addition of zephyros, blizzard the far north becomes more crucial than ever and vayu is only needed for shura.

Now that the history lesson is done, let's get down with why i think blackwings will be good next format. I believe that this deck will be good due to generation force and the upcoming banlist. The banlist will not hurt blackwings(except limiting vayu, but u only run 1 now anyway) but decks like sams and plants with some dark world stuff will be the target of this banlist. Also, generation force gives blackwings two new cards to use: steelswarm roach and orient dragon. Steelswarm Roach is easy to make in blackwings as it easily spams level 4s. Plus when u get it out u have a 2 round oppression, add that with some backrow and i say "gg sir."Orient dragon is basically brionac's retarded child that banishes a synchro upon summon.This gives blackwings an out to powerful synchros like stardust and shi en, and its easy to make with blizzard.
Blackwings were kinda down this format but i believe they will shine once more. See you next time
-Grant
