Synchro Shoukan

With the release of Absolute Powerforce, many deck concepts such as the cyber dragon theme has been revived, simply with the new card CYBER DRAGON ZWEI. I feel an itch to try it out too, Tee Hee. Gotta get my hands on those, chimeratech,eltanin and zweis.

But, our main objective today is not about absolute power, but with the new DT coming out next yr

DUEL TERMINAL 8 - Pulse of the TRISHULA

This set is simply awesome, with its new debut card Trishula, Dragonof the Ice Boundary (above), which serves as a new mist worm, Same summoning requirements, Level and astounding card advantages. Its art is cool too. Spectacular i might say,

Also, there is the almighty Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon in this set, so those who wish to run hopeless dragon can finally jump for joy in forming your deck, without the worry of tight budget issues.

However, what is really pulling me in is the Neofrembell set, which look totally awesome.
It's somehow the extension of the DT archetypes, with the first being the X-Sabre/XX-Sabreset, followed by the Fiend Roar Deity/Fiend Roar Deity Beasts, which all turn out to be great deck ideas, they play well and i mean it, everyone is grabbing them off the binders as soon as they see one. Hence, this Frembell/Neofrembell Archetype should not be very far off. The Frembell Family has been supported with cards from the Ancient Prophecy, notably Frembell Helldog (amazing searcher), Pureflame Eruption (massive monster reborn), and Frembell Counter.
The new DT 8 provides new monsters with the concept of Swarming, Field Advantage, massive power armada, and the newly introduced, Graveyard Removal. This is important, cause nowadays, most Meta Decks focus on Graveyard Management (LL, Grave BF, Cyber Dragon, Dragunity, Junk and Debris etc.)

Look at all the fantastic artworks (NEOFREMBELLS)

Seriuosly these guys grave removal effects are awesome. I found out something while researching this set too, in fact, this archetype bears a slight resemblence to the Black Feathers.I'm serious.. .
They both focus on massive swarming
They both utilise atk manipulation to dominate the field
There are the top 3 similar cards which prove that I'm right.

First up is the signature synchro monsters for each archetype. Black Feather- Armored Wing and Ancient God Frembell are both lv 7, 2500 ATK and each have sick effects.
Armored Wing cannot be destroyed by battle, and we can put a wedge counter on the opposing monster to reduce its stats to 0, which ,means that it can truimph large monsters with ease.
Ancient God Frembell allows the user to remove cards in their opponents graveyard according to their hand size, and increase its ATK by 200 for ewach card removed, so with a minimum 3 card disposal, we are able to pump it up to 3100, enough to whip that Blue-Eyes or Red Dragon Archfiend down to size. Magnificent.

Up next is the lv 6 synchros of the archetypes.
They can increase their own attack, and most importantly, they are tramplers.
A must-have in every synchro pile to take care of those pesky defense midgets.

The Third guy up is this set of searchers, which have the ability to sp summon monsters from the deck after destroying a monster by battle. This is practically a key figure in swarming, and the common combo is to special summon frembell archer or gale the hurricane to synchro for the lv 7 synchros immediately after the battle phase to build that barrier of protection.
