Pendulum Summons
So, we're finally discovering details on the Pendulum Summons. Will be updating this as more is revealed over time.

 * 1) Pendulum Zones introduced on the leftmost and rightmost edges of the field. Blue scale between Field Spell and Extra Deck Zones. Red scale between Main Deck and Graveyard Zones.
 * 2) Pendulum Monsters have markers on their left and right edges. The appropriate scale number applies when they're placed in the Pendulum Zone of the same colour.
 * 3) Pendulum Monsters can enter the Extra Deck face-up if they would be sent from the field to the Graveyard. When building a Deck, they still enter the Main Deck fist.
 * 4) Pendulum Monsters can be placed in the Pendulum Zones. Doing so is treated as an activation of a Continuous Spell Card, and they're treated as such there. Pendulum Monsters that are being treated as Spells in the Pendulum Zones may have different effects compared to when they're monsters.
 * 5) When both your Pendulum Zones are occupied, once per turn, you can Pendulum Summon (a form of Special Summon) a Pendulum Monster from your hand or Extra Deck whose scale number falls between the scale numbers of the Pendulum Monsters on the edges of your field. (i.e. if the scales on your field are 1 and 8, you can Pendulum Summon monsters of scale 2 to 7)

OCG Gameplay Changes
source here

And while we're at it, OCG rule changes to apply 21 March:
 * The player taking the very first turn does not draw during their Draw Phase.
 * Both players can simultaneously control an active Field Spell.
 * Card text will undergo minor changes to be easier to read. Effects are now numbered to distinguish which ones are separate.
