Well ra sphere mode looks interesting seems more like it will brick then do good. For ydealing with the gods they will get either get mirror forced (all of them) or dark hole/raigeki'd or indeed Utopiad. A shame but maybe a new set of gods is in order. A divine archetype would be cool. Nordics were a disaster on themselves.
Zombies will always hold a place in my heart because they were the structure deck I got with real structure. Even now I would claim zombie is more like an archetype then a monster type. Cards like goblin zombie, zombie master, mezuki, pyramid turtle combined with the revival theme and low defense made zombies extremely cohesive. Uni-zombie made it even better and shiranui give the type some cool extra plays like crystal wing synchro dragon.
Well gemini were a actually a bit handicapped at the start, I mean you need to go out of your way to get their effects which makes them a bit slower. On top of that the effects of a lot of gemini monsters were not that impressive. So you got slow monsters with mediocre effects. I don't know how much support they have received over the year but I'm not convinced of the idea yet. It does not seem fun to me.
Volcanics were cool in the day it was I will do damage either way type of deck which relied heavy on the support of blaze accelator. Shame it became just an engine.
Cyber angels well they have grown a lot in comparison to their anime showing (which was deplorable), they have extra effects and found a great partner into herald of perfection. The sad thing is I'm not that gaga over the two new cyber angel, Vishnu has a good level for cyber angels (2+8=10 and 4+6) the effects scream otk to me but if that fails it has very little protection. Also shuffling cyber angels into the deck is kinda strange with dakini. Nasateiya has an akward level and it's effects are good but it does not advance you forward because no opponnt is going to send it to the graveyard. Also battle protection can be done by honest and idaten.
Oh boy here come zodiac beasts, because xyz summoning is so hard. They don't need 2 or three materials no 1 material. I mean bending is one thing but really this feels like it would be some bullshit thing in zexal where a villain proves how powerfull he is by xyz summoning with just one monster.
Harpies feather duster, please don't. Traps are almost obsolete themselves blease don't make this the final nail in their coffin.
