So, MACR has just hit the TCG, and I thought I'd take the time to discuss some of the new card coming out and how they'll affect the game with ya'll. Feel free to discuss what cards you like in the set, what will make an impact, appreciation for the TCG Exclusives or OCG Imports, etc...

True Dracos
These are the big ones, the deck dominating the OCG Metagame at the moment, and sure to be used with the new Dinosaur structure deck to form the True Draco Dino deck, the Field Spell offers a vast array of possibilities for Hybrid decks, given the ability to destroy cards in your hands to proc otherwise rarely used effects, in quite a similar fashion to how Fire King Island was used in certain Kozmo Variants.
Key cards in the deck are Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King, essentially a more powerful version of the terrifying Apoqliphort Towers, who forms the center of most builds, particularly that of Demise True Dracos. Then you have the aforementioned Field Spell, Dragonic Diagram and a swathe of powerful S/T Support to go along with the deck. ten of course, you have the ludicrously powerful boss monster, True King of All Calamities who can lock down all of your opponent's effect activations of a certain attribute in a manner reminiscent of Shock Master

The Predaplant Engine
This little engine, comprised of Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio and Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra is rather excellent in making wacky and weird hybrids, as it essentially functions as a rank 3 engine, that incidentally searches Fusion cards. Oftentimes the engine will be used to kickstart the powerful Brilliant Fusion engine, or to search instant fusion for extended combos.

Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring
MACR also happens to bring us the Spring installment of the tuner handtraps we've received of late, and will absolutely be a staple force in the Meta, able to stop powerful +1 effects like Pot of Desires, leaving your opponent with a pile of banished cards as a result, or indeed any card that would search, mill or tutor. Expect to see this a lot in the upcoming format....

Zoodiac Chakanine
New support for Zoodiacs, that becomes ever more relevant with the limiting of Molmorat. Chakanine allows the deck to perform a number of even sillier combos, including rather easy Naturia Beast access. I'm sure there are a multitude of combos I'm missing xD

Tornado Dragon
A new TCG exclusive, Tornado adds to the already versatile Rank 4 pool, giving most decks access to even more simple methods of getting rid of backrow. It's definitely sure to find a space in most extra decks that have room for Rank 4s outside of Castel and Utopia
