So most people are thinking Brio will be banned (though HA05 Spec Ed is being troublesome), but do you think they'll replace it with this or leave it at Gravity Warrior?

Discuss.

Goyo is too broken to come back. 2800 for a generic Level 6 Synchro is incredible, and it steals opposing monsters just by defeating them in battle. With Synchros and ESPECIALLY Xyz being a big part of a Duelist's strategy, providing nearly free Tribute, Synchro, and Xyz fodder with an absurdly easy to Summon 2800 body is too good. Brio may have the loops, but Goyo can turn a game around just as easily, and it has no real drawback to its effect.

I don't think we can rule out this returning. If it were going to happen, it's likely to happen now when Synchros have seen a (very slight) decrease in play. What might prevent that is Konami wanting to promote Xyz more, so re-introducing this guy isn't going to do much in terms of that. Then again, we've thought Brionac would be banned for two and a half years now and it's still here so I'll believe it when I see it.

I tried to grab one of these online just incase it did come back, before the price increase, but it's still really expensive. I'm guessing that means people are preparing for a return.

This is worse than Brio, I don't see why anyone thinks or wants this back. Nobody should cry because we don't have a broken Lv.6 Synchro.

I don't quite [i]want[/i] it back, as much as I just don't see how they can ban both Brio and this, because realistically, that makes Gravity Warrior the best Level 6, and leaves very few Level 6 options outside of that, which is one of the most common Synchro options. Maybe I'm just thinking in the sense that that's more than likely what they're going to do as opposed to what should actually happen.

Orient Dragon, Sirius the Blue Wolf Star, Gravity Warrior, and (to an extent) Gaia Knight are all viable options, imo. With only enough room to run 1 level 6 these should be enough.

Stealing monsters is almost never a balanced strategy. Almost all the cards that do steal monsters, temporarily or otherwise, are either banned or have enough restrictions/weaknesses that they're fine. Goyo is a generic Level 6 Synchro with 2800 ATK. It doesn't negate the effects of the stolen monster, keeps them as long as they're on the Field, has no restriction on how you can use them afterwards (Synchro, Tribute, Xyz, attack, etc), etc.

There's just nothing fair about what it does, other than it Summons them in DEF.

Sirios I like, but we don't even have him yet and who knows when (or if) we will. Orient Dragon I admit is one that I'm probably in the minority on, but I think it was overhyped and realistically, I don't think it's that good at all. I've never been in a situation where grabbing Orient will get me out of a situation that grabbing something else can't do more effectively.

Gaia Knight is good, it runs over a lot, but still, it falls short of Hyperion/Grapha etc., some other boss monsters that you don't have much of a chance to take down otherwise.

They should ban both and print a new Level 6 Synchro that's balanced, but better than the options we have available.

1 generic Level 4 anyway. (Fabled Unicore [b]and Kudabbi[/b] is Level 4).

We still have plenty of Level 6 options. Orient, Gaia Knight, Iron Chain, Gravity, Sirius, etc. Brionac really needs to go away. It wins games for almost nothing.
