Im coming back to yugioh..just a couple questions

i havnt play the game since the end of last year because of exams and stuff...now since is all over and im bored with ps3...so just a couple questions.

1. what the format like now? for example any new deck type and meta deck or anything like that coming out.

2. Is it any new card people use in a lot decks? like before there are Pot of Duality and solemn warning which people use in a lot of decks.

3. i heard is a new type of summon called excess summon or something...but i have no idea how it works. can anyone give me a clue.

4. and last which duel system people use now? before i was using KCVDS but it seems never updated.

Thank you very much if anyone can help me on any of this...

3. you can exceed summon by overlaying equally leveled monsters ( the number differs with each xyz monster but usually 2 ) in your field on each other and summoning that xyz monster from the extra deck.
The level of the monsters u overlayed will determine the rank of the xyz monster that you can summon.

For example: 2 level 4 monsters ----> Rank 4 Xyz Monster !

4. People now use DN as the main duel system because it's always up to date and contains the xyz feature that only the day before yesterday was implemented ( as i recall ).

I hope i helped a bit !

yure wrong on the xyz there says witch lv and what type of monsters is needed(maybe no type is nessesary) and look on Chaos Number 39: Utopia Ray he needs 1 no 16 utopia but to summon him your lp needs to bee lower than 1000

1. Format is like Six Samurais/XYZ Plants/Gravekeepers/Tengu variants/Malefics
2. Tour Guide + Sangan for instant exceed summon + a search., Reborn Tengu
3. Overlaying monsters of equal level for an exceed monster of equal rank (3 + 3 = XYZ rank 3)
