Forum:Metagame Predictions

We don't know what the Banlist is going to be, but I'm going to make some educated guesses about what's going to be bigger and what's going to drop:

The Plant Engine is going to be hit where it hurts, and Plant Synchro is going to lose some power but alternatives will be found, probably dropping it to Tier 1.5 status. Dark Worlds will almost certainly lose something but with Trance Archfiend will probably stay Tier 1. T.G. and possibly Gladiator Beasts will rise in popularity at least for a short time as they are great matchups against Inzektors and Inzektor Wind-Ups (provided they don't get hit by a loop on their opponent's first turn). I think Chaos will lose BLS but not everyone does - if it loses BLS, it will probably decline but remain Tier 2, if it doesn't, I don't really see anything else in the Deck being hit. Rescue Laggia will take a hit but since it's a decent matchup against Inzektor Wind-Ups it will be popular for some time. Inzektors, Wind-Ups, and Inzektor Wind-Ups will be big for a few YCS tournament. Depending on how well they perform, they will either stay big with T.G.s and Gladiator Beasts becoming big as well or flop. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 17:37, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
