The Elwood monsters (also known as "Ellen Warriors" in the OCG) are a series of WATER Beast/Spellcaster monsters first released in the set "Mercenary's Revenge" (MREN) set on activating their effects by sending trap cards to the graveyard. They also pack the power to ecessively synchro and make big pushes for game. There are two categories of Elwood:

XYZ Reform
Trap Card
When you have one Exceed monster with no materials attached to it, you may attach the original materials to it from the graveyard.

XYZ Shot
Quick Play Spell
You may detach a material from a Exceed on your side of the field to destroy one card on the field, regardless of position.

Since Exceeds are still new, I wonder if some form of card will come out like the ones I just thought of.​

Point being, yes, there are cards coming out for them, just like there were for Synchros, Fusions, and Rituals.
