mikeruben2000's Yu-Gi-Oh! Top 10 Things Boosted from Soul of the Duelist

10) Ninjas
Ninja Master Sasuke is...interesting. Ninjitsu Art of Decoy is very neat, 
but neither of these helps raise the bar for Ninja decks.

9) Insects
While Ultimate Insect LV 1 is the most pointless card in the set until Rise 
of Destiny comes out some time in October, Insects get another searcher 
making them possibly the fastest sub type this side of Fire.

8) Control
In reality, SOD opens up a new type of control. Mind on Air control. Seeing 
your opponent's hand basically makes any card where you have to guess broken. 
DD Designator anyone? Mind Crush also becomes broken with Mind on Air.

7) Water
Mobius the Frost Monarch and Unshaven Angler give Water decks a great boost.

6) Exodia
Players of the Forbidden one finally get a flip effect drawing monster as 
well as a graveyard activating version in the Dark Mimic cards. Better yet, 
when used together they get an added drawing effect. Very nice indeed. 
Almost makes up for losing Sangan and Witch.
Almost.

5) Warriors
The Mystic Swordsman cards could very well gain popularity. A 1900 atk 
warrior with Sasuke Samurai's effect and a less than impossible summoning 
effect?
Not to shabby. Also, Penumbral Soldier Lady makes for a nice addition to 
classic Warrior decks.

4) Fusions
Definatly underrated by most, there's some very interesting fusion cards 
coming out. The most note worthy in my opinion is Master of Oz. A behemoth 
4200 ATK will turn heads for sure. Another neat card is Ojama King, with an 
effect similar to Ground Collapse.
Also, a fusion of Sangan and Witch makes for summoning the pwntastic 
Sorceror of Dark Magic much easier.

3) Fire
Fire sneaks away with a major "get" in this series.
Horus. While rarer than your basic Horus deck, Horus/Fire decks are still 
possible. Also, Ultimate Baseball Kid is a great card for a much needed 
powerhouse for Fire

2) LV Decks
Enough said. Horus, Mystic Swordsman, Armed Dragon,
*cough* Ultimate Insect *cough*

1) Dragons
Not only do Dragon players get a new searcher similar to Mystic Tomato for 
dragons, Armed Dragon LV cards, Element Dragon, and support for Red Eyes, 
but they also get the mighty Horus cards. This could easily become the new 
Chaos now that CED is banned in tourneys. If not that popular then 
certainly the new Strike Ninja deck.
