YGO OCG News

yay, first ^^
tech genus theme, i like it. new psychics sounds interesting too.

There's probably going to be more of them

Nice to see the "Junk" arcitypes are getting more support but, with them saying Psychics listed as major part of this set means that the character Divine (Sayer), will be returning. Still looks like things will be getting interesting in sets to come.

I look forward to it...not the Synchro Tuners though...

Junk Berserker? What is this supposed to be? Machine? Warrior? It's obviously a Yusei card, but it BETTER not be some "Junk Synchron + non-Tuner monster" bullshit.

Alright, at least we got a whiff of the Tech Genus cards. I hope this means we get both Power Gladiator and Wonder Magician. At least this means that we're due for one more Synchro Tuner.

Hmm, remember how Junk Warrior is suddenly featured again on the new OP theme for 5Ds? Even though we all know how junk (no pun intended) it is against Team New World and even more against that new seemingly godly Infinity monster? My theory is that "Junk Berserker" is yet another Accel Synchro, with Junk Warrior as the Synchro monster required. After all, Yusei cannot keep using Shooting Star, he overused it too much, Yliaster might going to find out how to counter it soon.

I might be wrong, though.

man, i wish they would released more accel synchro and double tuning rather than to have one-of-a-kind. junk berserker sounds awesome, i bet this guy is a multiple attacker because of "berserk" like non-stop fighting. it'd be more interesting that it can attack depending on the number of non-tuners like junk destroyer. so awesome to see a new set even though storm of ragnarok hasn't been released yet.

What!? Spoiler card list for STOR not yet 100% reveal then the news for 704 had been release? I rather they release news about duelist pack crow and yusei 3

then it was Gundam vs., goiing EXTREEEEMEEE

now YGO, EEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE

and
"- Includes a balanced number of cards from both the 'anime universe' and cards that are original to the OCG ."
so, we getting less anime cards?

I love how everyone thinks that Psychic-type monsters in a set means Divine is returning. Newsflash: Psychic-type monsters are new to the game, and are not exclusive to Divine. It's inevitable that there would be more Psychics, with or without Divine.

I do like the idea of an Accel Synchro upgrade for Junk Warrior, but when are they going to give upgrades for Black-Winged Dragon or, moreso, Black Rose Dragon? Black Rose needs more featuring, thus more Aki. And more Ruka please too. LOTS MORE.

Also needing to be made is Black Sonic, the Mirror Force for Blackfeathers that removes and THUD.

Will they ever make a cosmic synchro for bklack winged dragon???

Why did they get rid of their "This card is also treated as Machine-Type" effects? What is Konami's aversion to monsters that are treated as multiple monster Types? Monsters with multiple Attributes, that's fine, but with multiple Types? No way, that's unnatural and needs to go. Seriously, it's getting a bit annoying.

We'll probably be seeing some Aki here, given that she's got a duel coming up. 'bout time, I'd say.

Also, I'm betting Junk Berserker will be the monster Yusei uses to finish off ZONE.

noticed the "support for psychic type monster" ?? maybe... psychic will get a crazy boost like six-sam... maybe psychic commander will get uber expensive in the near future... I dunno.... just throwing some ideas.. ;p

Everyone has dueled more than she has and has more cards out from their theme - out of all of them she needs the most support. Not saying Aki and Rua shouldn't get support to in this pack, just that Rua needs it more. Black-Feather Dragon should not get an upgrade until Ancient Fairy Dragon and Black Rose Dragon do. They were there first, after all. Childish, i may be being, yes. But Crow stole screen time and devolpment away from Aki, Ruka and Rua and his theme is supported with way too much ruubish anywyay and the cards he has used that have yet to be released that can be considered good, need to be nerfed heavily before they can be as it is.

I like Blade Gunner Art. Don't like the card but the art is nice..

Glad they are adding the Tech Genus Series that is gonna be awesome although the whole "They are also treated as Machine-Type Monsters" effect is gone they really didn't have alot of machine support to go with that kind of deck in the first place. But now it makes that "Double Type Rescue" trap card hard to use.

Lets just pray they release some Tech Genus Spell and Trap support in this pack as well.

these tech cards are turning out to become nothing more than a fun deck.


so far this pack is disapointing. hopefully the psychics and random support cards are looking up....

It means eins , ein is wrong , its german and means one

Of course...what kind of Emperors would the Machine Emperors (and Overlord) be without foot-soldiers? lol

Be nice if they incorporate some of the effects from the other parts that didn't make it onto the whole Emperor cards or something like that.

So are THESE the ones that are supposed to invade neo domino city?

Bout time machine emperors got more support. Hope theres more besides the 4 monsters listed already.

Please, please, please let Life Stream Dragon be in this set. I have been waiting for him ever since he was first seen in Luca's flashback.

So, all this time waiting for more info and we only got Cover Junk Berserker, huh, Life Stream Dragon would fit the cover for a epicness end of series. :/// J.B is mehh.

When are we getting some advertisement? T_____T

Borrowing yet another of their own character designs from one of their games, huh?

Can I steal its soul so I can throw giant axes at my opponent?



A cookie to whoever gets the reference.

Whelp...Tech Genus is certainly making itself out to be the next huge Decktype for tournaments...

oh wow I just realised Cannon can summon itself back like Colossal Fighter

OMG, why do they have to commit so many slots to the tech genus? I mean, I already love the archtype testing out decks in DME before this lot was revealed, but still. Why do they need their own creature swap? It is a higher spell speed, which is the only better thing. TGX3- DX2 is basically a worse POA, because it only returns Tech Genus, plus you only return 3. Yes, some might like the easier plus 1, but it is a trap, and many of the current meta run decrees because they don't need too much protection. Then the lv2 non-tuner themed formula synchron has one use, only one use at all. Transforming a perfectly happy Blade Gunner into a Halbred Cannon. I actually love the effect of Halbred, having it overly powerful, yet it is awfully hard to get out. Lastly, can't they just confirm Rush Rhino in here? It is the last tech genius from the anime, and the archtype needs the lv 4 for cyber magician plays :). Oh, and I almost forgot TG- SX1. It is a situational card at first glance, but it is very useful. Returning that Hyper Librarian that got Mirror Forced, the Wonder Magician that was caught in a BRD bomb, the synch sent to the grave by dragonfly (if you are stupid and run it), and etc etc... (Oh wait, I better say now that I finally found use #2 for dragonfly) I just wish the Tech Genus would get a couple more monsters that searched each other for massive shenanigans!

Yeah can't wait for Rush Rhino to be confirmed I love the Tech Genus Series this will be a really good pack. I am assuming that this Tech Genus - Halberd Cannon is the Delta Accel Synchro that is gonna appear in the Yusei vs Bruno duel.

Just to say if you guys did not read the Halberd Cannon requires 2 or more non tuner Synchro monsters so you cannot use Blade Blaster as the synchro material you would have to use Wonder Magician + level 5 synchro + that recipro dragonfly. Hope they got more Tech genus cards coming out.

you realise that all the Synchros from CRMS onwards are foils right?

well, hope this does not become a freaking foil.

and to Jinzo,
>Accel Synchro Blade Gunner
>Dragonfly GY it and return Wonder Magician and Power Gladiator
>Delta Accel
>opponent summons CyDra
>Chimeratech Fortress lolwut

so where is he.
Hope he's EXVC-JP038, since that slot is not seen yet, and Berserker is 37 while Recipro is 39, so 38 must be a Synchro as well.

There's a slot for 038 left open, so there's still a small possibility...

Anyway...Tech Genus are really set up to become the next big Deck...and now the Kikou have much greater potential too.

could get an OTK if your opponent has many tokens on his field!
I'm really interested in how the mechanized archtype!!

graveyard black feather seems getting more and more support.. nobody wants to use it though!!..

I always said that psychics are the most broken type in the game. Now I may just be pro ven correct. Anyways, once the U.S. gets these (with exclusives btw XD), I'll smash in some serious face XD

Hey Shriek, the unknown Psychic Quickplay Effect is:

EXVC-JP0??
Psychic Amplification
Magic - Quickplay
All face-up Psychic-Type monsters you control gains 200 ATK times the number of your Removed from Play Psychic-Type monsters. All monsters that are affected by this effect are removed from play during the End Phase.

Oh and other card effects for some of the cards would be:

EXVC-JP0??
Force Resonator
Water/Fiend/Tuner/2/500/500
You can send this face-up card you control to the Graveyard to select 1 face-up Synchro Monster you control. If that monster attacks this turn, your opponent cannot activate the effects of Magics, Traps, or Effect Monster Cards that target that monster.

EXVC-JP0??
Blackwing - Hiren the Sudden Gust
Dark/Winged Beast/Tuner/5/0/2300
When your opponent's monster declares a direct attack, OR you take 2000 or more Battle Damage, you can Special Summon this card and 1 Level 3 or lower [Blackwing] monster from your Graveyard. You can only use this effect once per Duel.

EXVC-JP0??
Blackwing - Kogarashi the Wanderer
Dark/Winged Beast/Tuner/6/2300/1600
You can Special Summon this card from your hand when a [Blackwing] monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard (this Special Summon cannot be negated). Your opponent can use this card as a Synchro Material Monster for a Synchro Summon. The Synchro Summon of a Synchro Monster that uses this card as a Synchro

EXVC-JP0??
Buster Blaster
Earth/Machine/Union/1/0/0
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can equip this card to a Machine-Type monster you control as an Equip Card, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. The equipped monster loses 500 ATK. If the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, destroy all monsters your opponent controls with the same Type as the destroyed monster. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.)
Rare

EXVC-JP0??
Machine Megabomb
Trap - Normal
Select 1 face-up [Mechanized] monster you control and (?) card(s) your opponent controls. The selected cards cannot be destroyed.

I cant believe. More Six Samurai support. Though this card dont feed gateway, it is still powerfull.

They don't release Tech Genus Zombie Tuner thingy-.-*************

I was so hoping for that card, just imagine having zombie master on the field, mezuki in hand, tg zombie & pharao beast in grave..
ditch mezuki to get beast, remove it to get zombie, sync for lv8, the get back zombie master, go for lv6 when you have plague and so on...dang it!
zombies would have been cool again-.-

I'm sorry if someone already asked this but does anyone know if Life Stream Dragon will be getting a collectable tin???

Well its great that they are releasing more Tech Genus monsters I was hoping for the Jet Falcon and the Catapult Dragon but it sucks they don't have the effect where they can add a Tech Genus monster other than itself from the deck but at least they released the rush rhino.

Also did I read it correctly or did they say that Life Stream Dragon is a Tuner monster. Well that is kinda off a little bit but I guess we will find out in due time.

Unknown Synchron = Meh. Nothing but Formula Synchron use overall and limited at that through its effect. One for One or Kinkabyou, I guess.

Salvage Warrior, one of the few recent Yusei cards I actually liked.

Necro Defender got a nice boost from the anime too.

Hope there is a possible chance that they will release Tech Genus Gear Zombie and Tech Genus Drill Fish because in a way it would be hard to synchro summon Recipro Dragonfly even though you do have the level 1 Tuner Tech Genus Cyber Magician but the Tech Genus Series doesn't have a level 1 non tuner monser that is gonna be released for the OCG so far.

Also since I am seeing some extra slots open for the spells and traps I hope that at least have a couple more Tech Genus support cards and maybe even release Double Type Rescue since they clearly are releasing Buster Shotman.

Those are great support for them... I can see Psychic Trigger, and maybe Psychic Path, price going up in the near future.

if its coming out in like 4 days, surely a confirmed list would've been made by now really

cards that i want from this are the machine imperial stuff

i just hope machinicle infinity will get a release in TCG section cause then i can make the deck im planning for the stuff x3

http://duelingdays.blogspot.com/2011/02/extreme-victory.html

they have a target.

A Gladiator Beast card finally!!! (Not counting Lanista)
AWESOME

I just know it!

Dang it, why does it have to be such a crap support? what about a 1900-Beatstick with the tag-effect...or something dat bounces cards..a fusion with murmillo or sth the like...daaaaaang...

Wow, EXVC was good before, but a bunch of the rest just blows me away, lol.

Out of the newer revealed ones..

Psi-Girl - Basically a Different Dimension Capsule in monster form, but still nice and it doesn't miss the timing, so just immediately Synchro Summon and you got your card.

Honorable Retiree of the Six Samurai - Meh, nice for the Special Summon, but boring overall.

Karakuri Beauty - Ninishi - Pretty nice when you consider Karakuri are, like many Decks, about getting out more and more and it's obviously meant to work with...

Karakuri Ninja - Nanashikku (so many Ninjas) - Nice with its drawing, but balanced so it's not too evil in the Deck.

Scrap Kong - Typical Scrap effect, but nice and easy to do I guess.

Change Toad - Major lol. Exact same stats...similar cost and effect...but once per turn XD

Gladial Beast - Tagel - Can see why people are upset, but understandable too considering how absurdly easy it is and all.

Jar Turtle - Another lol effect. Jar of Greed getting more love.

Aurora Anguirus (Godzilla? XD) - I guess with the right combo, it can be fun, but otherwise, too easy to get around.

Crimson Hell Secure + Pot of the Crimson Demon Dragon - Was certainly not expecting BOTH of these to come out. And Crimson Hell Secure being a complete Harpie's Feather Duster with RDD and Pot being a (balanced by not letting you get out RDD then immediately use it) PoG with RDD too.

Resonance Rip - Another fun Resonator card for Jack Deck-lovers. Use 2 Resonator's for SRND, blow up 2 of your opponent's cards.

Psycho Feel Zone - A Parallel World Fusion effect for Psychic Synchros. Very fun indeed.

Shien's Dojo - Gateway getting restricted...

Karakuri Big Rampage - Can be fun with the Synchros for extra big hits and whatnot.

Communication with the Ceremonial Water Mirror - Average peeking effects, but very easy to use. Another DT-reference being a small plus too.

Silent Wall - Will have much fun with this, lol.

A Sudden Turn - Try to do something with your Graveyard and it all goes back. Can be a pretty fun Side Deck card.

Instant Shinto - Hey, we finally got Mai's "Grave Arm" anime card! lol

Scar-Red Carpet - Another card I'll have lots of fun with. Obviously for Scar-Red Nova Dragon + Resonance Rip.

Power Up Connector - Can definitely be a fun addition for Deformer Decks.

Psycho Reactor - Turns any Psychic into a D. D. Warrior Lady effect.

Brain Hazard - Another removed zone Special Summoner and with the way the new Psychics operate, very fun too.

The Six's School of Dual Wielding - Can be okay as a fallback in case your Samurai Spam gets messed up somehow. Otherwise, dunno about it being a big mainstream card.

Rented Karakuri Service Warehouse - Typical family negator.

Tyrant's Violence - w00t! Another fun Tyrant card. I'm practically building a Normal Deck around these, lol. Your opponent losing an extra Magic Card just to activate 1 can be nice and quickly strip them of resources.

Assaulting the Weak Point - Honest, searchers, etc.

Wood-Releasing Seal Art - Natural Decks...remove while feeding Palkion/Extrolio.

Safety Zone - Evil...essentially make your monster into an almost invincible, Venominaga-like monster when battling other monsters. At least it's not totally invincible, but it does make the monster a lot tougher to get rid of.

Local Big Hurricane - Infernity? I dunno, lol

W Galactic Meteorite - FINALLY!!!! ANOTHER WORM CARD AND IT OWNS!!!! Switching means you Set off their Flip Effects...then they get reset and you get to draw, then you can get out King, Queen, or Victory from your Deck.

Firstly: "This card cannot be used as Fusion Material Monster"
but taking Heraklinos for example,
"This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".)"

That means we can use it, right?

If not, second theory then..
Secondly: A face-down monster has no effect so setting it or flipping it down lets us use it for the quote "contact fusion".

Can we use it this way?

that sees potential in salvage warrior?

tribute summon him and.....

-get junk synchron and go for stardust
-get nitro synchron and go for nitro warrior
-get turbo synchron and go for turbo warrior
-get junk synchron, use level eater on salavge, go for junk destroyer
-get road synchron, repeat above set, go for road warrior
-get formula synchron, use on your opponents turn, go for blackrose

Like the TG stuff except for the fact that the Jet Falcon and Catapult Dragon don't let you add other TG monsters from your deck but I guess it is still good.

nice to see that Jack Atlas is getting more spell cards and stuff I remember at one point that the only spell cards he used in ground duels were "Mind Trust" and "Polymerization" so it is nice to see some more spell cards too bad they didn't release that "Trap Pause" spell card but something tells me that they are planning a Duelist Pack Jack Atlas and that card plus Powerful Rebirth will probably be featured as the new cards.

Can someone tell Lynx or shriek that it's Aurora ANGELUS?

Why does Safety Zone exist? Someone explain that to me. It's like.... rediculous. You put that on any big monster and whats the opponent gonna do? So lame. It's like Forbidden lance on crack.

And year Gate is gone. 1 at most. I hope United gets a restrict too.

Is that the real translation of gift of the machine emperors because wikia has a different translation.
