Konami brought back the most unpredictable card, Dark Hole in the last format. Also, Rescue Cat was banned a little after a super rare version of it was released. Pissed lots of players a lot for sure.
Instead of like everyone who talk about decks who have gained lots of attention, I mainly want to focus on other decks/archetypes that haven't.
First of all, Genex monsters were first introduced in Duel Terminal and then Hidden Arsenal 2 and have not gained much popularity. I think there's much support to make them into an alright deck. Most of them are low level and not much ATK, but have effects which can summon out each other from the deck. They mostly depend on synchros, so I guess oppression pretty much stops them.
Fabled support were also introduced in Duel Terminal (not sure which one) and have continued on with Hidden Arsenal 2 & 3, DREV, and STBL. The deck itself is not very considerate enough for players to think about playing this, but you can't blame them. Fabled's need tons of new support to work better in the next format. Konami just through in a bunch of useless stuff, except Grimro, and a bunch of weird ass synchros. ;D
Dragunities without a doubt will make a huge impact in the next format. The worst the banlist can do is maybe semi-limit Phalanx. As everyone knows, the structure is coming out and this archetype will prevail!
Dandywarrior / Quickdraw - I fear that Debris Dragon and Quickdraw Syncrhon will get heavily hit on the banlist. (get it?? like Heavy Storm got banned?? HAHAHA)
Debris is too strong right now, considering it can't even be stopped by Skill Drain. Either Debris has to go, or Black Rose...but I kinda want Black rose to stay.
What will Konami do?! No one knows!!! I wish Tele - Dad or Little City format would come back. Ahhhh, the old days. When Stratos was at 3 and Reinforcement was at 3. :DD
