The end of 2008 would see Yu-Gi-Oh! change forever as Synchro Monsters were introduced to the game. Going into 2009 Dark Armed Dragon decks would continue to dominate just as they had previously. A wind of change was about to come howver as there was a new competitive dark attirbute deck in town...

Reccommended for people with a basic knowledge or understanding of the game.

Post Episode Notes:
Monster power and archetypes are a real force in the game now and I am having to talk about so many cards while also omitting several very good cards that also saw competitive play.

I tried my best to have this out by the end of October but with the card pool and complexity of the game rapidly increasing it might be a bit longer until the next episode so please bare with me.

I'm sure 2010 will be a very 'Edi-cational' year for fans of popular retro formats.
