XX-Saber Gottoms and Mist Wurm

There's really no reason that I'm posting these two together other than the fact that they're both Level 9 Synchro Monsters.

XX-Saber Gottoms is currently the best Level 9 Synchro Monster in the game. That's not saying much, seeing as how its only competition is Hyper Psychic Blaster. However, it also has one of the most awesome names in the game.

Everyone should be aware of the loop you can pull off with two XX-Saber Faultrolls (awesome name, by the way) and XX-Saber Ragigura (another awesome name). I'm not going to discuss what should be called the LAMN (Loop of Awesome Monster Names). I'm also not going to discuss the fact that Gottoms can by Synchro Summoned with more than one Tuner.

Decks that aren't based on Synchros should have Gottoms in their Extra Deck (since they would have the space for it). There's ways to pull him out randomly if you want to discard a card from the opponent's hand for some reason. He could even act as a 3100 beatstick. Even decks that are based on Synchros could find a place for him. In Junk and Debris, it's as easy as tuning Junk Synchron to Iron Chain Dragon or Goyo Guardian.

As for Mist Wurm, it's actually pretty good. It's going to be in everyone's Extra Deck as soon as it comes out, like AOJ Catastor and Brionac. It may not gain card advantage (actually, the way it's set up, it's almost guaranteed to lose you card advantage), but card advantage doesn't matter if your opponent doesn't get their next turn. It sets up OTK's.

Obviously, Brionac is somewhat better at that, since it's easier to summon and can put Mezuki into the Graveyard. There are advantages to using Mist Wurm in certain decks, the most notable one being that you don't have to discard.

A neat way to summon Mist Wurm that doesn't cost you a Normal Summon would be D-Hero Malicious, Treeborn Frog, and Plaguespreader Zombie. So, if your opponent decides to chain something, like Bottomless Trap Hole, you can still Normal Summon your Stratos or your Junk Synchron. You could even finish the opponent off, in the right situation.

But who would use Malicious, Treeborn Frog, and Plaguespreader Zombie in the same deck? *cough* Monarchs *cough*
