So, what is Edison format? Well, Edison is a Yugioh! format that uses the card pool, ban list, and game rules as they were in March of 2010. This format gets its name from the 2010 Shonen Jump Championship held in Edison New Jersey. This format highlights the introduction of Synchro Monsters and Synchro Summoning into the game. Monsters like Black Rose Dragon<\/a><\/strong>, Stardust Dragon<\/a><\/strong>, and Goyo Guardian<\/a><\/strong> from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds are Edison staples. Other popular choices at the time were Lightsworn, Blackwing, Machina, and Frogs! This format is sometimes called “peak” Yugioh! and is praised for its variety, gameplay, and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
