I don't really like the concept of duel runners (the motorcycles)...
I mean, holding your card while speeding at 200 mph, the card will just fly away ._.

In depth explanation:
First of all, there is a new type of monster called "tuner" monsters. Those monsters, when combined with a non tuner monster, can be sent to the graveyard to perform a "synchro" summon equal to the total level of the tuner monster and the non tuner monster. When synchro monsters' summon are negated, they cannot be summoned back from the graveyard (eg. If you use solemn judgment on say, stardust dragon, it cannot be summoned back). Also, synchro monsters cannot be special summoned if they are not properly summoned. If you use starlight road, stardust dragon cannot come back. Synchro monsters are stored in the extra deck, where you put fusion monsters and exceed monsters. Synchro monsters also have their summoning restrictions. For example, Trishula - Dragon of the Ice Barrier requires 1 tuner monster + 2 or more non tuner monsters. They can be more complicated, such as XX-Saber Gottoms - 1 tuner earth monster + 1 or more earth monster (ironically, the only synchro monster that can be summoned using more than 1 tuner).
A synchro summon counts as a 'special summon'. Thus, you can perform any number of synchro summons during a turn.
Synchro monsters have their background colored white. They are used mainly in 5Ds, then they're basically gone.
Yeah. Pretty neat.
Now we have Xyz monsters, which basically, you stack at least 2 of the same level monsters together to summon a big monster from your extra deck.
You can summon Xyz monsters by stacking at least 2 same level monsters on top of each other. Xyz monsters usually have effects that remove 1 'xyz material monsters'. The monsters used as Xyz monster material are stacked on the bottom of the xyz monster. When xyz material monsters are removed from the xyz monsters, they are directly sent to the graveyard. Xyz monsters are stored in the extra deck and their background is black.
Also, xyz monsters do not have 'levels'. They are numbered in 'rank'. If a xyz monster requires 2 level 4 monsters, then it is considered rank 4.
That's basically it.
That newest method of summoning, it's hard to understand for me. <<
Synchro summoning was so easy to understand.
I'm Seto Kaiba, no need to stress.
Okeydokey, sir.
Are you having good progress learning all these new mechanics? You'll have to invest into these for your company. :3c
@Seto Kaiba: Yup. That's right. Take note that no. 34 Terror Bite requires 3 level 3 monsters, but it's rank 3. It's the level of the monsters used that matters.
