For the next ARC-V main set, "Oscillation" cards might become their own archetype.

There aren't many other Pendulum related cards with a common naming theme that aren't already part of an archetype. Unwavering Bond, and Wavering Eyes share one common Kanji only.

[magpiejay1234]

Most likely the next ZEXAL main set will feature support for "Overlay" cards, since they generally have the pre-ARC-V card text format for Xyz Monsters.

There aren't any other major Yuma monsters with the older text format besides Djinns, and Grandram.

****

Most likely Cyber Dragon "Evolution" cards will become their own archetype, since they use a different Katakana than the regular spelling of Evolution.

Since Spellbook of Miracles has the pre-ARC-V text convention for Xyz Monsters, there might be more Spellbook/Prophecy support in the future, most likely for Xyz variants of some Main Deck ones.

Most likely after Blue Maiden & Aqua unlock, there will be another round of Marincess support, most likely for Rituals for Water Leviathan.

Rest of the VRAINS animé themes don't have LINK-5 monsters, so there isn't an option for a LINK-5 Marincess, or Trickstar.

Going by Ukraine Without Hype podcast's episode about Hungary, there will likely be going to be another search for a new White Christian citadel.

Italy, and Israel don't cut for it for obvious reasons, and Trump largely broke with Russia.

Trump is trying to put Bolsonaro back in power to make Brazil this, but this will largely fail.

The Economist's Trump approval tracker now puts the Gen X less interested in Trump than Boomers, which is likely due to the fact that the tech right split off Trump, and no longer needs a political partner.

Given the changing nature of the technological economy by 2028, there will likely be a significant decline of the left in the Democratic Party in favour of newer tech billionaires.

Apparently PS6 is now planned for late 2029, so KH4 will likely have to wait for early 2028 at least.

This probably means Nomura won't be able to finish the next trilogy by himself.

This was already sort of expected by the KH fanbase, due to the FF7 remake, but this is quite interesting, 9 years is the longest console generation period for any company.

Most likely there will be at least two more Dominus cards, for the WIND-EARTH duo, and the FIRE-WATER duo.

****

Though the new True Draco cards now allow for Level 10 monsters for the Dracoslayer/Dracoverlord storyline themes, it will probably take a while before those themes get their Level 10 monsters.

[magpiejay1234]

The other Level 3 WIND Dragon Effect Monster that can get a retrain is Gray Wing.

****

The Rank 6/8 Beast Xyz Monsters will likely be for an archetype.

****

Given the Illusion Tuner, the next Artmage theme will likely be Synchro focused.

The translations are here.

The new Sphinx supports Book of Taiyou, and Book of Moon.

[magpiejay1234]

The final cards for Doom of Dimensions feature:

**A DARK Spellcaster LINK-2 Link Monster that supports DARK Spellcasters, and Spellcasters in general.

**A Level 11 Fiend.

**A new Level 8 Sphinx monster.

**A retrain of Dol Dora.

**An Illusion Tuner.

**A Countinuous Spell with counters.

**A Continuous Trap with counters.

**Our first Rank 7 Beast Xyz Monster.

[magpiejay1234]

Mei-Kou, Master of Barriers might get a Level 8 retrain for a future main set.

****

Due to Level 4 Spellcaster Photon/Galaxy monsters, there might be a Rank 4, or Level/Rank 8 Photon/Galaxy Spellcaster.

[magpiejay1234]

Anna's Deck is the most likely one to get a support batch next, but as we discussed before, she still has a few cards that have not yet been printed, and her existing cards don't have a common naming pattern to become an archtype (besides Superdreadnought), so most likely the future cards will focus on Revolving Switchyard instead.

Major economies of Europe in 2013 were:

Germany

France

UK

Russia

Italy

Spain

Turkey

Netherlands

Switzerland

Norway

For CEBR, in 2039 they will be:

Germany

UK

France

Italy

Russia

Spain

Turkey

Netherlands

Poland

Switzerland

CEBR is very optimistic, so the situation will be worse than the projection, but this really shows the decline of Northwestern Continental Europe.

Given the current structure, it is highly unlikely for EU to become sufficiently robust until 2040, though 2035 is also likely.

Going by IMF's growth rate for 2007 to 2008, if that continued to 2018, World GDP would have been 162 trillion, which won't be achieved even in 2030. For EU, it would have been growth from 16 trillion to 42 triliion, which won't be achieved until around 2045 with the current forecasts.

Going by Ember's statistics, it will take until 2040 for EU to end gas consumption for electricity.
