Mario here. The September 2011 format re-awakens an old boss monster that will definitely impact the format... Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.
For those who are unaware it has the exact same summoning conditions as Chaos Sorcerer. Then it can either banish any opponent's monster (regardless of position) or possibly attack multiple times. I didn't play competitively before when this card tormented everyone but now it's back to torment everyone again.
This card can be splashed into Chaos Plants and Twilight. People will splash light monsters in dark-based decks or vice-versa just to summon this card. I am a solid example of someone like this.
Also going to 1 this format is Primal Seed. It can add any two banished cards to your hand when BLS is on the field. You can bring back any two of your banished cards at all. Free pluses anyone...
Here are some basic combos with this monster. It is a light monster unlike Chaos Sorcerer so it works with Beckoning Light and Honest. You can Leviair the Sea Dragon to special summon one of the Soldier's banish prerequisites that is lv 4 or lower. Finally, if you tech in Spell Strikers you can use Primal Seed to return a banished spell or two since Spell Striker banishes spells to special summon itself. I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with double Monster Reborn...
This is a short post and I only wrote it because someone wanted me to. Overall BLS will be a dominant card this format and gives enormous assistance to older decks that can take advantage of this card. That is all.
