Saw this new cards going around a Thai Facebook page.
It got lots of Shadow Specters spoilers. Most is not that notable except for this unconfirmed news...
War God Dragon Emperor - Yamata no Orochi
Dark / Beast-Warrior / Fusion
Lv 8 / 2600 / 3100
2x War God monsters
Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by shuffling the above cards you control into the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can select 1 of your banished "War God" monster; Special Summon that target in face-up Defense Position. If this card would be destroyed, you can send 1 face-up "War God" monster to the graveyard instead. You can only control 1 face-up "War God Dragon Emperor - Yamata no Orochi".
You might think the summon from banish effect is useless since it is not that easy to banish a War God. Well, think again...
War God Princess - Kushina
Light/ Beast-Warrior / Effect
Lv 4 / 0 / 2000
If you control a face-up Beast- or Winged-Beast-type "War God" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can banish this face-up card you control; Special Summon 1 "War God" monster from your deck. Also, you can banish this card from your graveyard; Special Summon 1 "War God" monster from your hand. You can only use 1 "War God Princess - Kushina" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Hopefully, the real effect becomes like LSS-Kizan's. Too bad her effect has a restriction like the Incarnate Dragons, otherwise, she could have a spam combo with Yamata no Orochi.
But still, her effect and her being a LIGHT Beast-Warrior is a welcome addition to the deck.
More War God cards please!
AND last but not the least!

^if really too lazy, it says that in one of the upcoming VJump Edition packs there will be a monster called カオス・ソルジャー ― 宵闇の使者.
^the above translates into "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Twilight".
YGO going back to Chaos theme after Elements?
Remember how Cosmo Blazer and the VJump Edition promos combined to make the tier1 Fire Fist decks before LGTY arrived?
Latest booster = JOTL (LIGHT/DARK)
Next booster = Shadow Specters (LIGHT?/DARK)
Next SD = Blue Eyes (LIGHT)
Next VJump? = new BLS? (CHAOS)
Well, hopefully the new cards can outrun or outsmart Incarnates.
Have fun speculating! xD

Chaos deck with no BLS = B-ul-L-S-h*t!
Currently I'm playing a sort of Chaos deck with a happy number of 5 boss monsters: DAD, 3 Chaos Sorcerers, and a PROXY of Chaos Soldier. Im so emo since I already went to the local shop, asked around everybody, searched online shops, but still cant find anyone selling an asia-legal (jap/asia version) of BLS!
Konami SHOULD reprint the card for the sake of the newer players in Asia. Its not like everyone was around in the days of the Series 3 boosters, asian IOCs, or Expert Editions.
The nearest reprint booster set in the OCG is EXP4 and we all know that set wont have a BLS. Gold Series 2012 wont be until the new year and even if BLS gets reprinted in that set it would only be short of 3 months before it might possibly get banned again. Would you wait and burn through September, Oct, Nov, and Dec tournaments?
Besides that, having BLS in your deck is a MAJOR factor if someone wants to fare well in the ranking league tournaments. Summoning it almost ensures a win or a major change in the momentum of the game. It can almost do everything...
1) Banish any non-immune monsters whether f/d or not
2) Walk over most boss monsters
3) Deal a heck load of damage through battling 2x
4) Add to swarms to deliver otk
5) Add to psycho war since 1st person to summon his BLS or any boss and not win that turn would likely be BLS'ed next turn
oh and let's not forget...
5) BLS + Honest = otk
6) BLS + Arms Aid =otk
7) You can use Reborn, CotH or even Warrior Returning Alive to re-use the guy again!
It is not even that hard to summon him unlike the other boss monsters like DAD, Trishula, and Kristya. Speaking of Kristya, Agents are another viable deck that can seal away most bosses like BLS. So... does that mean non-BLS players will likely go to Agents? NOT! Even Agents can add BLS to their arsenal in the deck.
Hopefully someone sells me a BLS soon. Im gonna treat him/her to food as long as he doesnt scam me with the price, lol. /rant

Banlist Sep2011: Dark vs. Light (again??)
Here is the confirmed changes for the Sept 2011 banlist!
Although this wont be somehow of a "new" format since we already experienced this a year and a half before, it is a "cool" format (imo) to be where going second wont be such a pain anymore. In fact, with Heavy Storm back, it looks like going second is THE thing next format since you can Storm your opponent into a -1 or -2 early depending on his extension.
What happened to the top decks? OCG and TCG
Tengu Plant / Tengu Variants = Tengu obviously wasn't hit yet, lol. But I expect the TCG to clear up the Xyz Rulings soon since the World Championship already did so. Tengu Synchro has their Plant-side torn up. Tengu Stun/TG has Heavy Storm/MSTx3 as a threat to their lives.
Junk Doppel = the plant engine got hit hard with 1x Lonefire and Debris. Librarian is still ok at 1 but Formula at 1 while only having 1 Avarice in the deck will give this deck a hard time to cope with upcoming decks. Luckily, Junk Synchron and Doppel wasn't hit and the affinity of the deck to the "Chaos" theme gives hope to this deck. Personally, I'll be deck-testing new builds of Junk Doppel.
Six Samurai = Smoke Signal at 1 already hurt the deck but Shien at 1 is brutal. Expect this deck to lose popularity. Looks like the Ascetism Samurai build will be the only way to go, unless the build Wslasher showed me becomes successful.
Tech Genus variants = Horn of the Phantom beast and TG1-EM1 are now at the mercy of Heavy Storm. Much more skilled play is needed to pilot this deck now.
GKs = Heavy Storm and 3x MST is intimidating for any Stun type deck now. In fact, I wont be discussing any Anti-Meta deck any further in this post. Oppression gone is a big blow for them.
Offering Gadget = Ultimate Offering not hit is a good thing. But 3x MST? Yes, this deck can somehow manage against Heavy Storm but a MST chaining against the activation of the UO is THE major problem. Sadly, this deck will lose popularity too.
BF = Not getting hit AND getting love from Konami! Icarus at 3 is back and the connection of Graveyard BF with the D-hero engine looks to be promising! Expect this deck to be the top deck of Japan for the next few weeks.
LS = now this is the deck that got the most love from Konami! 3x JD, 2x Gardna, BLS and Storm! Hoard all your Light Mirrors and DD Crows right now!
Although some bloggers are already saying that they dislike this banlist, personally I do like it since it promotes combo-plays and not "set 4-5, end turn".
My prediction for the next few weeks or so? Top decks will be...
Graveyard BF
Chaos - Graveyard BF
Chaos - TG Dhero
Chaos - Junk Doppel
Chaos - LS
LS
Agent Angels
See? Its only DARK vs. LIGHT... Anything else will just get Heavy Storm'ed, lol.
Have fun with the new format! Thanks for reading!
