What we see this time:
1) Banisher of the Radiance
So it didn't went to the top 8 too well, but top 8 shouldn't be the only decks we look at. Sometimes the comments about the general trend matters too. Seems like we are getting banisher to spite toolbox? However, doubt that this card will continue to go up. Maybe it'll stay the same or even drop. Until Hydrogeddon's usage goes down, Banisher will be spited by Hydrogeddon...
2) Injection Fairy Lily
Mentioned in metagame article, and the guess is not surprising for anyone... it's an aggressive format, and it's easy to use Lily to pinch Stein below the 5000 mark. Imagine Lily as a smaller Stein that is weaker yet more flexible because her cost is not as steep.
3) Drillroid
Another metagame article mention, but this one surprised me... I never thought of how the hefty amount of enemy controller is synergy with Drillroid. The controllers are always there, but somehow it never crossed my mind to abuse it with Drillroid.
4) Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
Monarch like to take turn getting the spotlight or something... Mobius is first, then Zaborg, and now Thestalos. Don Zaloog at most comes in pairs within a deck, but with 2400, it's a beatstick after the discard too. Again, a surprise for me...
5) Drop Off
It's in top 8, and I heard that it's in some sidedeck too. We're *really* liking hand discard aren't we with smoke grenade of the theif, thestalos, the lone reaper and don zaloog... We're *asking* for Third Planet aren't we?
6) Trap # increase
Generally, Sakuretsu in doubles or triples, widespread ruin, and bottomless traphole boosts the trap count from the original call of the haunted, torrential tribute, mirror force and ring of destruction. Secret barrel lurks around in sidedecks. Guess we're relying on traps to slow the format down against the heavily aggressive pace?
7) Mobius the Frost Monarch
It's only logical due to #6. In fact, i think that the average amount of Mobius in the top 8 deck list including sidedeck results in one Mobius each. Well, I'm happy cause Mobius is my favorite card, monster wise (Wave Motion Cannon for spells, Forced Back for traps <3)
About the gearfried deck... major surprise. It's not like it's a new trick. People have used it before but it never seemed to do too well. What made it better now? Hmm...
