Having seen the success of the first three editions, it came as no big surprise to learn this week that Gold Series 4 has been confirmed for TCG release in June 2011. As usual, it'll be a reprint series of some of the most sought after cards in the game, and as before it'll only be available from independent hobby suppliers. What is new though is (apparently - the press release was a little vague) the inclusion of a game mat, which'll be the first time one has been available to buy at retail.
And so, the rumour mill begins - what'll be included this time up. Of course, everyone's first thoughts turn to Pot of Duality, although I'm betting 'not this time'. As the details emerge, you can find everything you need to know about Gold Series 4 here.

Exceed Summons
Ah, it only seems like yesterday that we were all discussing what impact an outlandish thing called a Synchro Summon might have on the game, and now here we are back doing it all again for Exceed Summons. The YuGiOh! Zexal series brings with it the brand new Exceed Summon, and with a deck built correctly, it looks to be even easier to do than Synchro.
The first few Exceed Monsters out of the blocks don't look like there's anything desperate to get excited about (see our last post), but there always is a 'but' isn't there. What we have no idea about yet is the support they're going to get. That's when we'll really find out how much impact they'll have. Anyway, if you haven't been following this so far, we've brought you a guide to everything we know about Exceed Summons so far, including how the new principal of Rank works.

The First Exceed Monsters Revealed
This week, I thought I'd give you a run through of the Exceed Monsters we've seen so far. At the time of writing, I've seen precisely five, although I must be honest and say I haven't had a look at the one from the Exceed Startup Duel Terminal yet. Of the other four, there's been one from the Generation Force booster and three from the Zexal OCG Starter Deck.
Starting (I guess logically) with the Starter Deck, the one I've been most interested in so far is Aspiring Emperor Hope. 2500 ATK and reasonably easy to summon with two level four monsters, the effect is a fairly handy one too, buying a bit of time to grab control of the field.
Gurensaurus sees a return of dinosaurs and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out. So far, we've only seen the card in a promo poster, with one or two key details of the card text obscured, but unless that missing bit of text causess a huge amount of damage to the opponent, I can't see any reason to get excited. Also, unless I'm missing something, there's nothing too special about the third one either - Gachigachi Gantetsu.
Moving on to Generation Force, we have Revise Dragon. It's the cover card from the booster and can quickly get up to 3K attack (although it can't attack directly once it's done that). Still for an easy cost of two level three monsters, I reckon this is quite handy. Good times :)
