Not fusion,now is the name of the cards "Synchro" :)

I´m interessted for the cards,^^

It might be like how Gemini-monsters were introduced in the Tactical Evolution set. Will be interesting to find out more about this. I really am praying we really do get Copycat in this Starter Deck.

There are CURRENTLY 6 "Rule Elements", 20 "Monster Arche-Types", and 6 "Monster Sub-Types"
These 6 Elements are: Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark
The 20 monster arche-types are: Warrior, Spellcaster, Rock, Plant, Fish, Sea Serpent, Machine, Winged Beast, Beast, Beast-Warrior, Dragon, Fairy (Angel), Fiend (Demon), Reptile, Insect, Zombie, Thunder, Aqua, Pyro, and Dinosaur
The 6 monster sub-types are: Fusion, Gemini, Ritual, Spirit, Toon, and Union

Okay, so we get these new Monsters called 'Synchro' monsters; they get their own little deck, LIKE Fusions, except 'Synchro' Decks have a Max. 15 cards, and like Fusions, a) they have no Min. # of cards, and b) They require certain cards to bring out from their Decks.

'Synchro' Monsters require a certain monster, called a 'Tutor' (like 'Toons' and 'Spirits'), to be on the field, as well as other monsters whose combined Levels equal to the 'Synchro' Monster. The Gladial Beast Fusions are most similar in this sense. For example, "Junk Warrior" is a LV5 monster, and it requires its Tutor, "Junk Synchron" to be on the field. "Junk Warrior" also lists that you need another LV2 monster to be on the Field too, listed like Fusion-Material Monsters are on Fusion Monsters. So, as I see it, as long as "Junk Synchron" and 1 LV2 monster are on the Field, you can Special Summon "Junk Warrior".

Note that it doesn't say that the listed monsters are sent to the Grave or anything, and that it can apparently only be brought out if ALL monsters on the Field are EQUAL to the 'Synchro' monster's, so in "Junk Warrior"'s case, ONLY "Junk Synchron" and A Level-2 monster can be on the Field (though it seems to also mean, for example, you could have 2 LV1 monsters too, but then that Fusion-Material Monster list thing says THAT SPECIFICALLY, so, yeah...).

I think that's about it... Hope it helps!

its called a tuner not a tutor.

My guess is that the new mat will be extended to the right 1 space; a spot to the right of the Grave for the Removed Zone, and to the right of the Main Deck for the Extra Deck.

Also, a cool note, is that it seems you don't HAVE to have 15 cards only in your Side Deck anymore, so it won't be a brain drain to try Siding for what your opponent will have, just throw a few together, at most 15, and you're set!

Oh, and don't expect "Copycat" to be in the English one, because it was a special thing with Shonen Jump, and only the most dedicated readers would get them (Copycat, Cloning, Blast Sphere, and um... I can't find #4)...

The Synchro monsters are in a deck OF UP TO 15 cards, and it seems you don't actually Tribute anything, it seems that... Well, the 'Tutor' monster is a catalyst to bring out a monster if all monsters on the Field meet the Synchro Monster's requirements. It might be easier to explain when the other 2 Synchro Monsters are revealed; they may provide more examples...

If my explanation of "Junk Warrior" doesn't help, I'll just make up a real situation with these three new cards...

So you have just one Synchro Monster, "Junk Warrior". He's your only Synchro monster, so he sits all by himself in your Extra Deck. His requirements for being Advanced Summoned (pretty much summon from nowhere) are listed as " 'Junk Synchron' + Non-Tutor Monster", where "Junk Synchron" is the 'Tutor' - the only monster you NEED out. Since "Junk Warrior" is a Level 5 Synchro Monster, the combined Levels of all monsters on you control must add up to 5, and one of the monsters MUST be your Level 3 "Junk Synchron" (as far as we know, seeing as it could be read as "Non-Tutor Monster(s)").

So, let's Duel! You go first, so you draw. Hey, you drew "Junk Synchron" (DARK/Warrior - Tutor/LV3/ATK1300/DEF????)! You've also built your deck specifically for Level 3 and under Monsters, for the sake of "Junk Warrior". So, you play "Sea King's Chief Spearsoldier" (WATER/Sea-Serpent - Normal/LV2/ATK1400/DEF 0) from PTDN in Attack Position, and set "Order to Charge", "Order to Smash", and "Soul Resurrection", and end your turn.

Your opponent draws, then Special Summons "Cyber Dragon", then Sacrifices it for "Android - Psycho Shocker" (Jinzo)! He thinks his monster is safe, when...
You acivate "Order to Charge", so you sacrifice your soldier to destroy Jinzo! Bummed out, your opponent Sets two cards then ends his tu-
Not so fast, because you activate "Soul Resurrection" to bring back your Soldier! In response to Special Summoning a Monster, you can activate "Order to Smash" to destroy BOTH your opponent's Set cards!

It's your turn again, so Draw! Now, besides being a 'Tutor', "Junk Synchron" has his own ability - When you Normal Summon him, you Special Summon a LV2 or lower Monster from the Grave! So you do, and bring back your Soldier! Now the requirements of "Junk Warrior" are not only fulfilled, but your opponent has an empty field! So, Special Summon "Junk Warrior" (DARK/Warrior - Synchro/LV8/ATK2300/DEF1300)! No tributes or nothing; better than Fusion or Ritual, but similar to both! But now the fun kicks in!
Thanks to his own effect, "Junk Warrior" gets a boost - his ATK gets increased by the combined ATK of all LV2 and lower Monsters you control! So thanks to your Soldier, "Junk Warrior" is packing a hefty 3700 ATK! but hey, you still have 2 cards left in your hand...
Now activate "Double Summon", so you can Normal Summon a second time this turn. So bring out your "Speed Warrior" (WIND/Warrior - Effect/LV2/ATK 900/DEF 300 - This effect can only be activated during the turn it was successfully Normal Summoned. You can double the ATK of this card during the Battel Phase.)! Now, activate his effect, and ATTACK! So, your 3 little monsters attack for 1800, 1400, and 1300, for a nice 4500 damage! but now it's Junk Warrior's turn! And with "Speed Warrior" out now as well, he gets cranked up to 5500 this Battle Phase! So you finish off your opponent with 2000 ATK to spare!

Betcha that'll be in the first episode of the new show LOL!

once again, its called a TUNER not a tutor

So let me get this straight. You can still have any number of Fusions in your Fusion deck? The way it's written is very confusing and that is what I got out of it.

I see how this is confusing. Remember, Light of Desruction is out in just over 3 weeks, and less than a month after that this is out, so we'll get more info very soon (then Duelist Genesis is out a month and five days afer this). So don't get all upset because you don't know where the Exra Deck goes.

I never thought those arrows meant actual changes - I thought they meant just additional rulings in those categories, like discarding cards, paying LP, and tributing for a card's effect to activate was gonna be called the "release", so cards could be read like this:
'Premature Burial'
Equip Spell
Release: Pay 800 LP.
Special Summon a Monster from your Graveyard and equip it with this card. When this card is destroyed, destroy the equipped Monster.

OR

'Exiled Force'
EARTH/Warrior - Effect/3or4?/1000/1000
Release: Tribute this card.
Destroy 1 Monster on the Field.

I dunno. And I thought "Advance Summon" was what bringing a Synchro Montser out, but calling a Tribute Summon an "advanced summon" makes some sense, because in effect it IS a higher-leveled Normal Summon...

guys no one said that there changing all the names I think forrenz is right they might just be additional thingies or watever... the point is they wouldnt change all the names of terms in yu-gi-oh with the coming of a single pack.

I'm no Manjyomethunder but the meaning of the arrow means instead of Tribute Summon you can Advanced Summon instead:-
lets say you hv Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior on your field.. With the new rules you can either
1. Tribute the 2 monster to call out Dark Magician
2.Advance Summon Junk Warrior from your Extra Deck
... and in order to advance summon you need to sacrifice those monsters its like tribute summon but not from hand that's why majyomethunder wrote
Tribute Summon -> Advance Summon NOT Fusion Summon -> Advance Summon
Most people said that u don't nid to sacrifice the tuner monster to Advance Summon but those aren true because it'll be a game breaker if you combine with Ultimate Offering-> 5 monters in 2 turn (so game breaker) as the rule evolved from Tribute Summon Not Special Summon.

Here's the Situation if they make Advance Summon doesn't need to sacrifice..
on field you have Ultimate Offering... u summoned Junk Synchron from your hand and then special summon Speed Warrior... Lightning Vortex... Then use Ultimate Offering pay 1500 LP call 3 Junk Warrior...
(2300+900)x3+900+1300=8800 DMG!!!

Why Ultimate Offering can be used??! ofcorsed its the same as tribute summon counted as normal summonfor high level monster.. so Advance summon is a normal summon for extra deck..

Possibilities 90%

Tributing something(for costs or summoning) will receive the name of "Release"
Tribute Summons will get changed to "Advanced Summon"

So to tribute Summon Spiral Dragon, for example, you used to say "I sacrifice two monsters to Tribute Summon Spiral Dragon" or something like that. Now you will say "I release 2 monsters to Advance Summon Spiral Dragon".

Exiled Force's text used to say "You can Tribute this card to destroy 1 monster on the field", but now it will say something like "You can Release this card to destroy 1 monster on the field".

Ya hit the nail on the head there.
This game needed to be revitalized to get new people in and the ones that abandoned it back in.

Since they're both DARK Warriors, I doubt they are Fossil-related. Not to rule out them being in Duelist Genisis.

Well actually only the [Synchro] monsters are affected by the 15 card limit.

That would be such a relief...

But hey! A Synchro version of Gaia Knight with 1 less Level, 300 more ATK, and a huge drop in DEF, wierd but sweet pic!
Oddly still no pic of the Junk monsters besides the blurry Junk Warrior on the front of the box...
and I guess the costs of the Synchro monsters aren't too steep, but still tricky.

Well... It IS said that just Yusei uses Synchro monsters, but we'll have to see...

Sweet!
'Commonmental' is kinda trippy; it has that vortex part going up towards the top, but then there's that hypnotic background... o.O
They all look awesome, and great Effects too!

u r soooo right i am looking into the future.....................i see................i see...................gravity bind illegal the same for levil limit area a its gonna be a whole new ban list for this 1 you better take to the tournaments fast.but some new support cards r for sure a reality so i can see some action coming to yugioh real soon!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt it, since you Set it face-down again and you can't activate cards during the same turn they're Set. But it's still pretty neat, 1 attack negation per turn, on any attack you choose.

i completly agree this will definitly be a new deck to keep and yes jadens deck sux in real life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but i can see the new dudes on yugioh 5d using this deck say 4 an example its the last play play of the duel player1=p1 has 1 card left in his deck and no cards in his hand player2=p2 has an open field and 2000 Lp left p1s turn draws summons junk warrior 2 the field his effect calls out a level 2 monster synchronization go here comes synchro hero, comes 2 the field 3stars+2stars=5stars and direct attack win.with this deck you can have a mirracle draw and win anytime, you can never be safe playing against this deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it was first posted, it was called "(something)-Kakashi". Does that mean "kakashi" means "scarecrow"? (as a Naruto fan, I'd really like to know)
Also, yeah it would probably be able to activate once a turn because it can't activate the turn it's Set, like he said. Still an awesome card.

Yes, Kakashi does mean scarecrow :/

Anyway, as for the effect, it activates and then it goes face-down. By pure logic that should tell you that it's being treated as set now, and can't be activated until next turn.

Every good card needs a limitation. But this is does work like a Negate Attack very turn when using Dark Door with it! =)

yugioh.wiikia. Its the card behind Jack if need to know EXACTLY.

hey thanks cybergx you are a big help!!!

no prob.

Release means tribute for a cost.Just check Stardust Dragon's effect.You can release it to activate it's effect.Aslo advanced summon might be special summon.

It would be so easy to summon them if you could use your opponent's monsters. That makes them a whole lot better.

You could use your opponent's monsters if you play 'Brain Control', but it would be even more fun to use cards like 'Raiza', 'Back to Square One', or 'Phoenyx Wing Wind Blast' to put just the right monster back on top of your opponent's Deck, then use good ol' 'Conscription' to bring it to your side. Nobody ever sees 'Conscription coming!

Ya, Conscription is really unexpected.I did thatto my opponent one day and it was so lol. Anyways, what i mean by that is like sending your opponent's monsters without using something like Brain Control. Using theruling to send your opponent's cards to the grave.Know what I mean?

Hmm... Well, it only shows how to use monsters you control, but yeah, it doesn't necessarily say it has to be your monsters, huh? Kinda like 'Super Fusion'. That way "synchro" makes more snse...

That would be so awesome if that could happen... Just imagine the look on your opponent's face after you've sac'ed all their monsters and you just summoned something like Red Daemon's Dragon or Stardusr Dragon. BTW, I made links for Manjyome if you read this comment (which you probably won't, lol) for new cards on the Duelist Genesis

You don't want ANY of the Synchro Monsters? What's so bad about them?

Ya, they aren't THAT bad. Through proxies, they a hell (sorry, don't take this as a religious issue) of a lot better and easier to summon than Fusions.

that has been already said though... I guess ur a little late?

to summon synhcro monsters...
does all the monster on ur field be equal to the syncro monster???

Yes, RedEyesFan, they do... It might be tough, but Special Summoning can be the best way to go.

That doesn't work. Junk Synchron NEGATES those monster's effects. You could use hand's effect though, since it won't be on the field when it effect starts.
