The anime doesn't make any sense anymore!
So apparently, Crow got all his stuff (Blackwing cards, his D-Wheel, and Blackfeather Dragon) from this guy who they decided to make up just now named Pearson.
To summarize, Pearson saved Crow when Crow was a kid, then he died, and Crow got all of his stuff. And magically, everyone now knows about Blackfeather Dragon. It's very random and makes no sense.
After they set up all of the stuff that happened in the past, then Crow goes to duel his old friend Bolgar. Bolgar is conveniently using an "Anti-Black Feather" deck. The episode basically ends there...
Oh, and Bolgar has a Continuous Trap that deals burn damage. How convenient...

Gladiator Beasts in the next Format
They aren't really that bad. You get advantage for surviving through battle.
Okay, so usually that isn't the case. But, what makes the deck amazing, in my opinion, is the use of the War Chariot. It's a free, recyclable Divine Wrath. That's besides the point, though...
Nowadays, Gladiator Beasts aren't fast enough to keep up with Lightsworn, they can't gain advantage as easily as Zombies, and they get killed by Icarus Attack.
However, Gladiator Beasts have been used at the start of the last few formats. That's probably because it's a solid deck type and the other decks that eventually rise to the top haven't gained enough ground, yet.
Basically, I'm expecting Gladiator Beasts to be played when the new ban lists are announced (hopefully the new ban lists will hurt ALL of the meta decks this time). Depending on the list, new meta decks might arise and shove Gladiator Beasts out of the spotlight once again.
Such new decks might include Dimensional Eatos and X-Sabers, and the current meta decks probably won't drop off of the face of the planet with the March 2010 ban lists. But, Gladiator Beasts might stay meta with the release of Starlight Road to protect their back row.
Basically, it all depends on the ban lists.

Black Feather Treasure
So, they're finally getting it. Yeah, Blackwings are getting their own draw card. That's completely fair. That's sarcasm, by the way.
It's not sarcasm if Black Whirlwind gets Limited. If that happens, I'll accept the release of such a card.
Before we get too far into that, let's look at its effect:
"Remove from play 1 'Blackwing' monster in your hand. Draw 2 cards."
Remove from play is good; it means no easy Vayu set-up. The card also has some restrictions:
"During the turn you activated this card, you cannot Special Summon any monsters. You can only activate 1 'Black Feather Treasure' per turn."
Being unable to Special Summon monsters is nice. Shura loses its effect for the turn, no Synchro Summoning, no Vayu, etc.
The whole "you can only play one of these per turn" thing is kind of pointless. I seriously doubt that people would be using more than one per turn if Black Whirlwind got Limited.
So, if Black Whirlwind gets some sort of restriction, then this will give Blackwings a fair way to gain some speed. If Black Whirlwind is untouched, then Konami is crazy...
