Synchro Level

There seems to be a trend coming about. Each format has a very dominant Synchro Level, going all they way back to their release.

First during Tele-Dad era, we had the massive level 8s. Stardusts and Colossals were what you would usually see on the field. High level monsters that were also hard to take down.

Than came the DSF era. Level 7s exploded out of nowhere. Dark Strike for game was so common in everyday games. Arcanite Magician blowing up all cards deemed a threat and couldn't even be bottomlessed. Black Rose Dragon was also often spammed as seen in Debu-Hime and running into a Blackwing-Armor Master wasn't so fun either.

Now in this format, we see a ton of level 6s. Brionac being the most prominent. But we still can't forget about those level 6 zombies. Revived King Ha Des can stop gardnas and pesky searchers from working. Doom Kaiser can take your opponent's Plaguespreaders. Though there is an under looked synchro monster, Flamvell Uruquizas. It has piercing and it gains attack every time it deals battle damage. Now people who don't run blackwings have a chance at a level 6 with piercing.

I have also neglected to mention cards that have also dominated their own format, including Goyo and Catasdor. But the sheer number of people who ran the other level of synchros far out numbered these guys. (though Goyo was badass at 3)

  1. Before Level 7s, were the Level 6s actually.

    Unlimited Goyo and Brionac were too much for Stardust and Colossal, in the OCG at least.

    It's only now that Level 6 Synchros are starting to become more prominant.
