tactical evolution

Ok, man, that's the most strange
name of a booster on this game!
And, look, 80 cards! it's 20 more
cards than usual, and it`s not a
reprint! Do you think this could be
the cards that the guy of UDE was
talking about? I know it doesn´t
coincide the dates, but...

supreme_slayer - 24. Jan, 21:44

Support and More

I'm personally glad and sad that there will be 80 cards in this set. Glad that there will be more cards to get and not have to wait for a new pack, but sad because that makes every card more the rarer.

This very well may be the strategies they were talking about adding to the older ones like Gravekeeper's and Archfiend. One way or anoither, the cards are gonna be in here! I believe Yata Skull would be in this deck..

supreme_slayer - 29. Jan, 19:29

They're probably going to support more of the Volcano cards, as well as the Six Warriors. Jewel beasts obviously are going to have support.
((I just figured out about a week ago that Yata was in a premium pack, but, then again, we got ourselves the Gadgets. ))

Manjyome Thunder - HELP

I think my post has been deleted twice already. Is there anything wrong with it? If you're going to delete this post again, please send me an email to tell me why. Maybe you have access to my account info. Thanks

Manjyome Thunder - 6. Feb, 23:00

Well, not at all. The problem with was, that the part in the V-Jump you refered to was not about new cards that will be made, but cards the three characters imitating Judai, Chronos and Manjyoume would like to see in the real card game. There answers were if I remember right.
- more Jewel Beast stuff
- more Hero stuff
- Camulla's Phantom Gate
- an Armed Dragon Lv12

They weren't confirmed cards so far, just wishes they would have if they had to choose.


Regarding your account, I have no information about. Unfortunately, on the other hand, that is why I couldn't send you emails anyways.
Lucifer - 7. Feb, 02:31

thanks

I see, thanks for the information. I thought you should have access to account info since you're the moderator. Anyway, thanks again ^-^
youngbro2 - 15. Feb, 02:35

what the heck

why is rainbow dragon a wind type. IT doesn't make sense. Well i just don't know why. Its like desrook archfiend, why is it a light type. since when are demon light/when are fairy dark.
But less about that and more on the paralell rare.In the first sets on packs there was secret rare.now heres revenge of paralell rares.most of the best secret rares were banned not just because of rarity but of effect.please dont let the paralell be TOO powerful to get banned. What i really want to come back are the promo rares like harpie feathers duster and kaibaman. those looked pretty good. Or make something like pokemon (not saying its better) but if anyone saw the dark blasatoise, it was holo on the outside of the card. that was cool.

monkmo - 25. Feb, 04:46

insecvts

ok i need to say somethinmng rainbow dragon is great and all but tactical wont come out until the late summer for people in america and mabey even later than that and hello people wat about the other cards and plaease we need more insect and more help for level 2 and lower decks people please reply to this and ER NEED MORE INSECTS RIGHT PEOPLE TELL ME IF IM RIGHT OR WRONG

HandBanana - 9. Mar, 00:00

lv 2 and lower decks get a boost with normal monster support which has come out alot
insects dont NEED more support they need to be played right, tho more support for anything is good cuz it diversifies the game and makes it more intresting
cyberdestiny411 - 4. Mar, 15:54

ino right!

i mean its been a while since i heard the word roid in a while i dont care if pair cycroid is in this set (haha). i just want to see more roids. I also want stealth union to come out so i can tag duel with my friend who has an elemental hero deck (super vehicroid hero union haha)but even if stealth union doesnt come out i still want the materials to come out also truckroid,stealthroid,and expressroid and maybe even roid suppot cards or cards used by syrus like training wheels,cyber repairer,mirror damage,training field or even that cheap trap he used life force.Please let there be roids(for some reason the name "tactical evolution" sounds like dinosaur cards haha)

cyberdestiny411 - 8. Mar, 04:19

series name

judging by the name of this series it should feature new strategies for making monsters stronger and who would be a perfect example..... jim that fossil guy from the anime his strategie is basically fusing his monsters with opponents in the graveyard to make a stronger monster. even though so far he only fused dinosaurs and warriors it is still a mthod of making monsters stronger and with the appropriate name of tactical "evolution" that sounds like a high chance for his cards to appear after all force of the breaker features those two other characters cards so why not this character?

Kaiba - 8. Mar, 19:01

Mirror gate, Dark brightman, Venominaga. WOW!

Yugioh Warrior - 8. Mar, 21:38

Very Interesting!

This new mechanic I'm quite interested in. Dual...
Hell Kaiser Dragon I'll be looking forward to. I'll use that in my dragon deck. I'll be much more interested in Six Samurai suport!
Yeah!! I'll use as much as I can find! I can't wait to find more info on this series. I'll bet that Hell Kaiser Dragon will look awesome!

Hamon - Divine Ground - 10. Mar, 18:11

Second Summon, explained

If any of you wanna know what Second Summon is, according to DMComet:
It's basically a cost where you give up your Normal Summon (or whatever summon you'll need, normal's the only current example) to re-summon the card, and then get the effect, or whatever.

Basically, w/ HellKaiser Dragon, you tribute once to bring it out as a first Normal Summon, then next turn if you have another monster but haven't done your Normal Summon yet, you tribute that monster, re-summon it, and there's the effect. It's hard to use...should only be a regular Rare.

cyberdestiny411 - 10. Mar, 18:24

aww man

so far theres nothing in this series that im interested in i mean rainbow dragon looks cool and all but i hope there will be roids,fossil cards,more elemental fusions,maybe more of zane's cards(like that trap that makes your monsters in the graveyard a certain type),destiny heroes,and anything cool to make a deck out of i mean i like mirror gate, that kaiser dragon is cool but his effetc is kind of confusing and really dont like venominaga(like the exodia of reptiles haha)so that means not only is venominaga in it venominon and that trap to get her out is in it too but anyway theres still a chance for the cards im dying to see come out theres still like 72 cards to go lol

Hamon - Divine Ground - 11. Mar, 03:48

the only thing i dont like about Rainbow Dragon so far is that he's an Ultra. He might deserve it, i dont know his effect yet, but now that he's an Ultra i can't get any.

But on the other hand, Ultra Rare ratio is increased. So, maybe...but i'd have to pull two. One for my collection and then all others from that point forward for my Jewel deck.

youngbro2 - 16. Mar, 01:27

Thank my soul

I respect the new type called dual. Hellkaiser dragon meaning hell kaiser WILL play it. I like to thank Rainbow dragon for not been the paralell rare in this pack. The really scary thing about this pack is the paralell rare. In the original packs there were 2 secret rare of the whole set. most of them were TOO powerful (Lord chaos emperor and your friend the lord of spirits yata) so theywere banned/limited. Now if there is ONE paralell of the whole set, this must be GOD powerful. Im talking summoning a monster that has
1star
infinite/infinte
all attributes and types in one
your opponent cant use any magic traps and monsters
can't summon and draw cant win by exodia powerful.
This is a god monster (Slifer and Obelisk shake scaredly and Ra says i wish i was you)

Hamon - Divine Ground - 16. Mar, 02:20

what?

you do know that they would never make that sort of card, dont you???

Hamon - Divine Ground - 17. Mar, 15:49

Hmph.

That Mazoku Shoukanshi doesn't have a translation in my dictionary. What kind of words could those be?

Marine Neos looks like the fifth UR...do they not know what to put as an Ultra?

Manjyome Thunder - 17. Mar, 17:27

Mazoku is Demon tribe/race
Shoukan is Summon
Shi = masteror teacher

I used Master of Demon Summoning as the temporary(/final?) name


Marine Neos looks like a rare, judging from the picture
Hamon - Divine Ground - 17. Mar, 17:55

Ok, thx lots

Oh, they were combinations of words. Now that shoukan has been separated i easily understand it. Gotta love long vowels!

MaxMaster - 17. Mar, 22:22

E-Heros

Oh, I like this Pack!!So much new (and good) E- Heros cards.
My Fusion Deck will ned an extra deck box. (At the moment I have "only" 27 Fusion Cards)

cyberdestiny411 - 17. Mar, 22:26

22 down 58 to go =[ still nothing interesting yet im looking for a new deck idea im trying to make a cyberdeck but dp4 is stalling in the US with the tin (as a side note does anyone noe wen it will come out as a series in the US? because ino i have to ask this ques. in the duelist pack section of this site but i somehow cant get a comment in that section.=])

Hamon - Divine Ground - 18. Mar, 04:16

Hey

Bigger pics on some, :)
Mazoku almost looks like he has no head. He looks really cool, i hope he's not SR.

Hey maybe the reason they're making Hell Kaiser Dragon so Rare is that they're also making new support for Duals.

Hope it doesn't go down the drain like the Position Change cards, :(

monkmo - 18. Mar, 15:37

boooo

Venominaga, the Deity of Venomous Serpents should not have the hyper effect now we all now its going to be restricted so thanx for the great card we could never use in a tournement

Raybeam - 20. Mar, 20:22

Its not that good, its really hard to get out and probally wont see any competitive play.
DoubleU - 22. Mar, 17:08

Hyper Effect

I'm glad her effect didn't sway far from the show since she has a lot of balance to her, from her summon cost to her restriction of only reptiles being her possible gain of Atk power. The fact they replaced her 3 turn count with a 3 attack counter makes her all the more fair. More often then not she's too strong and kill opp from battle damage alone long before the 3 turns are over, or she's not strong enough and is beaten until all her reptiles are depleted.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 19. Mar, 04:31

crazy

I really don't think Venominaga can be restricted/banned.

ojamaking - 23. Aug, 03:06

it wasnt banned or limited, but it might later, all you do is play Damage=reptile to get out venominon then have him die and then play snake rain and the game is as good as yours
The Legendary Underdog Joey - 19. Mar, 04:36

I think ground breaker is right by only being restricted to 1 because it is pretty hard to summon just like V-Devil which has a killer effect as well.

leturn master - 20. Mar, 07:32

of course!

You're a genious!

DoubleU - 20. Mar, 20:35

TE

Venom theme such as Venom Serpent, Venom Boa and a couple new ones. More Gem Beast support like G-E-M Force, GEM Burt. Likely some Gem Beast support cards that will help summon Rainbow Dragon to the field. (One person I talked to about this thought Gem Tokens for the Magic/Trap Zone which could be possible.) Maybe cards like Hero Dice, Cacoon Party, and Cross Change. It'd be nice to see the Quick-Play fusion card, Hope of Fifth, and Contack Out. Still, good chance we'll see Neo-Spacian Extent here if nothing else I've mentioned.

Hamon - Divine Ground - 21. Mar, 01:37

Think of it this way...

...it will be easier for you to get one. don't be stupid.
DoubleU - 22. Mar, 16:59

Roids

I agree, I would like too see some of the roids. I know they won't be in this pack, but Tankroid and Spare Car would be nice for both Roids and Cybers, particularly Cyber Dragon when Proto is destroyed.

And I want to see Navyroid to add to a good defensive/burn deck since their biggest threat seems to be a strategically played Mobius or Heavy Storm. With Navyroid you can avoid suffering by removing your Level Limit B from the game for 2 turns.

Truckroid is cool, but he's like just a Sword Hunter with less tribute and can take advantage of Supercharge. Not bad but I'd rather have Navyroid personally.

Irou - 23. Mar, 21:58

second summun?

i don't understand it, can somebody explain it please?????

DoubleU - 24. Mar, 04:14

Second Summon

Imagine Second Summon Monster's effects to read like this. "During your turn, you can give up your Normal Summon for the turn in order to activate this monster's effect. If the monster has a tribute . You must offer the same amount of monster on your side of the field as well.

Basically you normal summon the monster...while it's on the field instead of your hand. That's it.

DoubleU - 25. Mar, 07:00

thinking tactical for Tactical Evolution

I believe this is what they are refering to as the "Tactical" part of the booster pack's name.

In fact, these would be highly devistating in a Gadget deck which runs Ultamite Offering. Not to mention Double Summon is going to give them a healthy boost. Imagine putting dual monsters in a heavy special or a heavy extra normal summon deck. These Dual monsters's effects actually will compliment already frightening decks.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 25. Mar, 18:39

Ahh...

So Double Summon is meant to help the Duals...still, it is a powerful card for any other deck as well. Very Useful, and as we know so far, without a cost. I just hope it doesn't come out to be "You can Normal Summon a Dual monster one more time during this turn."

Makes me think, maybe a Dual that Special Summons will be released, it's just that if you do you cant special summon for the rest of the turn anymore. [or some other cost]

DoubleU - 25. Mar, 20:29

Response

Well I can imagine them making a card like. "You can special summon 1 Dual monster from your hand. This monster cannot attack this turn." or something to that effect. Maybe a Dual monster that while it's face up on the field after it's effect is active all Dual monsters that come to the field come with their 2nd summon effect activated already.

Now that I say that it reminds me. They're very likely (Based on other card themes that already exist) going to make a card similar to Level Up, where you just obtain the 2nd Summon effect without having to activate it normally. This is more likely a card that will be made then the other 2 I mentioned. If not in this pack then in some back in the future which will compliment the Dual monsters
Hamon - Divine Ground - 26. Mar, 03:14

Well

Just wait patiently. Manjyome with update when he(she? nah...) can.

But Manjyome, have a question. How do we know that Magma & all the others without pics really will be here for us? Were they confirmed some other way? Sorry to bother you again...

Manjyome Thunder - 26. Mar, 20:40

Yup, that's the way it is, we have no real rhythm where things are updated. News will be edited or posted as soon we get to know or our hands on it.
Unfortunately, for Magma & Co, there are no images yet, some sources mentioned them as confirmed, but due to a lack of pics I temporarly put them under "not full confirmed". Although there are no pics of them, it doesn't mean the info is wrong, sometimes it's not possible to get those 'desired' images.

And it's a "he" xD
DoubleU - 26. Mar, 09:01

Find Out

I know he found those pics from V-Jump Magazine, he probobaly found out the feature cards from the same source, probably the magazine stated the cards were in the pack without giving a picture. I think he updates whenever news comes out which could be random since it can come from many sources. Anyway that's just what I'm assuming. It seems most his info comes from V-jump but I assume he gets his info from other sources as well.

DoubleU - 3. Apr, 23:59

Rainbow Dragon

Well, tomorrow episode 130 will be aired in Japan and Rainbow Dragon's anime effect will most likely be revealed and even though the anime and card game effects often aren't the same, we can probably assume its OCG effect wont be much different (Like Venominaga) I at least hope its OCG effect is really neat, if it has a really cool effect I wouldn't care what it's original stats are (the 3rd season has made a record amount of 0/0 monsters.) I wouldn't even mind if it turned out to be a normal monster, just cause it would have at least interesting flavor text.

DestinyHeroPlasma2401 - 4. Apr, 22:21

Finally

yes we finally know what rainbow dragon fully looks like and its efect W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!


Even if it still is the anime effect we still know something about it

The Legendary Underdog Joey - 5. Apr, 11:08

actually it could go up to 7000 atk points since spell & trap card zone counts as well

Itachi Uchiha - 6. Apr, 05:06

actually

it could go up to 13000 cause it wud gain 4000 more ATK for the 4 monsters in the monster zones and 5000 ATK for 5 monsters in the SpellTrap card zones. this card is gud but it destroys all the other gem beasts. im gonna get a homan lord of striking thunder for my gem beast deck.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. Apr, 18:46

hey

Yes Manjyome you made an exception for Rainbow Dragon this time this is awesome I hope that when the card is made in reality it doesnt include itself in the return-to-deck effect, then it really does compete with the Sacred Beasts

The Legendary Underdog Joey - 7. Apr, 05:41

actually rainbow dragon can go up to 9000 atk points but who cares its still cool

160AnimeFreekz - 7. Apr, 13:26

Rainbow Dragon

the effects of rainbow dragon says"this card can only be special summon when there are 7 types of gembeasts on the field or in the graveyard.isn't it suppose to say"this card can only be special summon when there are 7 gembeasts monster each with different name is on the field or in the graveyard"???because it would be easily summon if most of the gembeasts have the same name!!!!

160AnimeFreekz - 7. Apr, 13:36

Alexis's card

do you think that they are going to make some of alexis's card in this pack or maybe the next one?????i hope they do cus i want doble passe and cyber angel dakini badly.plus they never make alexis's card except for etoile cyber,blade skater,cyber tutu, cyber blader,cyber gymnast and cyber prima.it is sooo unfair!!!!!they make syrus's card when he doesn't duel that much in the season!!!!1!!or chancellor sheppard is another example.he only duel once and they make some of the cards he plays.!!!!it is sooooooooooooooooo unfair!!!

DoubleU - 8. Apr, 08:37

Rainbow Dragon

Yay~ ^_^ I luv you Rainbow Dragon, Gem Beasts are my favorite deck, and have been long before Force of the Breaker ever came out to OCG. Let's hope Rainbow's OCG effect wont be much different or maybe even better. Anyway, concerning what someone else commented on eariler; even if it's effect states "This card can only be special summoned while there are 7 Gem Beasts with different Card Names in your Grave or Field." Or not, doesn't actually matter. Mostly cause the best Gem Beasts decks usually only have 2 of each of them and I guess other decks might run 3 of some or all of them. Regardless, Rainbow Dragon's effect is not so incredibly over powered in which it would be broken to make it 7 of any Gem Beast. Even if that other card Johan played becomes a real card; the 1 which gets out counters which are treated as Continous Spell Gem Beast, (^_^ Yea!!! We were right) that still wouldn't make Rainbow Dragon incredibly overpowered. Anyway, weither he takes all 7 of the Prism Pets or just any 7 Gem Beasts in general is irrelevent. It's not too hard to get out all 7 in the field or grave at all, The Ultamite Gem God wont be seen every duel but the Gem Beasts themselves can beat all the most competative decks out there without it so it's not like it's a catastophy that it's kind tough to bring it out.

I hope Gem Set is in this pack ^_^ And the Gem Tree, those would make me happy~

160AnimeFreekz - 8. Apr, 10:04

........

dude,can you explain that in english please and if rainbow dragon canbe summon when you have 7 gembeast on the field without the same name then it would not have 4000 atk and its affect wouldn't be that powerful.it is easy to summmon rainbow dragon that way if you have for example 3 gembeast emerald turtle,2 amethyst cat 1 amber mammoth and ruby carbuncle on the field.and plus its name explain itself.it is a RAINBOW dragon.a rainbow doesn't have 2 or 3 colour the same and it have different colour.!!
anyway i hope they have the cards you wantyed in the pack and i hope they some of alexis's card ttooo!!!!!
160AnimeFreekz - 9. Apr, 14:00

Yuber Card

hey, don't you think that the parallel rare card might be the yuber card????

kingofgames406 - 11. Apr, 04:22

hey

i cant wait for more e-hero power up cards and the rainbow dragon to come out in the u.s. i still watch japanese eps.

kirabosco - 11. Apr, 09:34

new HERO!!

wow!!so many heroes in this pack^^
dark brightman,plasma viceman,marine neos,magma neos,wow!
cool!!
d any1 ply E.HERO deck??
can share ur skill wif me??^^

Ganden - 12. Apr, 14:21

Hero Help

it helps me to have two polimerizations (if thats spelt right :/) and to keep the spell and traps cards that are specific to some heros to a minimum
160AnimeFreekz - 11. Apr, 13:34

Roids

if they have some roids monster in this pack,they should have a monster card that when you discard it to the graveyard,you can add a field spell card related to roids monster like vehicroid connecting zone.

cyberzane19 - 13. Apr, 19:40

rainbow dragon effect

manjyome i got a quick question bout rainbow dragons second effect

Remove from play all [Gem Beast] monster in your Graveyard to return all cards on the field to their owner's decks.

because janime didnt state that johan used that effect just the 1st one

amon of the clouds - 16. Apr, 03:46

marine neos

that stinks that marine neos is a rare but it's also ok. in the future i can tell you all that their will probibly be a new jaden pack with it in it as a super or ultra rare card

DoubleU - 19. Apr, 10:04

Concerning Dual Monsters, ^_^ Not Duel Monsters

Well the new Dual Monsters look interesting but they don't solve the main concern which would be in any Dual Monster Deck which is the fact you just wont get enough Normal Summons to be fast enough to be competative. Only having 1 Ultamite Offering and let's say for the sake of argument 3 Second Summons you still would be constantly stuck with fairly weak Normal Monsters. They are wonderful support for some already existing decks, but to consider a Dual Deck would currently be almost out of the question while still being competative.

The best idea for any Dual Deck from what we have so far is a Special Summon Dual Deck, which would be a lot of Magics, Traps and Monsters that allow a lot of Special Summoning so you can preserve your Normal Summon for your Dual effect. The sad thing is, is that even this deck will be far too flawed to be very competative. One of the greatest benafits for any Special Summon is the ability to Normal Summon a 2nd monster which is how almost all decks deal with an opponent's Sak Armors and other defensive traps. Suddenly pulling out a 2400 double attacking Dragon would be intimidating but would mean nothing if the opponent has 1 of oh so many destrucive cards to deal with such things, and not having a back up monster means once Hell Kaiser Dragon dies. A Dual Monster would be at the opponent's mercy if it was all alone and the opponent will get away with a quick Sak Armor without taking any penalties and now you've just lost a special summon card and one of your powerful monsters. more useful cards while the opp only lost 1 minorly useful cards.

As for the up-comming Dual Monster Magic / Trap support, I still believe they're going to make a Dual Monster equivalent to the Level Monster's "Level Up!!" in either Tact Evo or Glad's Assault which would undoubtably be useful for the deck but this pales to the promise this pack is supposed to be promising to us which is an evolution in tactics. So unless the Dual Monster's support is creative and more subtle than most Yu-gi-oh cards, than the promise is already broken.

Then there's of course what every support deck has which is cards which hinder the theme's flow. "Level Down!?" for example or those few cards in FotB which really put a cramp in the Gem Beasts and Valcanio deck's happy days that destroyed Continous Magics. I don't know about you but a trap that states. "Activate only during the Opponent's Main Phase, during this turn, the opponent cannot Normal Summon" or something to that extent would be rather devistating to decks like the Six Samurai, the Cyber Darks and expecially the Neos deck which is another theme in this particular set. ^_^ Special Summoning Neos and not being able to Normal Summon Grand Mole would certainly make your opponent have a bad day.

Anyway for my last words on the topic for tonight. ^_^ I'm certain the Gem Beasts are able to hold their own against some of the most competative decks in the game and I'm equally as certain there are going to be many people who will assume immedatily if they haven't already they're worthless just as most already do to the E-hero and this is a shame as the Gem Beasts (Like the Chain deck) are really fun to play with and is also (Unlike the Chain deck) a really useful theme deck.
Okay, sorry. Just had to get that off my chest as the people at Pojo upset me with their ignorant negative oppinion on my favorite deck. (Dunno why since they're pretty reliable at being ignorantly negative)

The last thing I really wanted to say about the Dual Monsters is a question I need anyone to answer if they know. I was wondering if Dual Monsters can be "Bottomless Trap Hole"ed or "Pulling the Rug"ed when they perform the Second Summon. I don't see why as I'm sure Second Summon is just a creative name for the "Negate Normal Summon for turn to get monster's effect" ability but it's still worth making sure should it ever come up, if anyone could confirm this, that'd be great. Okay that's it, sorry for such a long post.

DoubleU - 22. Apr, 23:47

News Concerning Venoms

Damage = Reptile is interesting. I used it in my Venom Proxy deck a while back but stopped because of 2 reasons being, the previous effect was get out monster with exact atk = to damage and the othe other was it was like Damage Condensor. Used only once, so logically I junked it for Damage Condensors but now that it's not only equal or less, but it's also a continous. This very well could indeed make Venominaga Goddess occure enough to the point where I would agree with most people and say she is highly overpowered. Her draw backs are that she either has too much attack and will win the duel WELL before she deals 3 hits of battle damage or she's so weak that the opp will special summon a monster and beat her until they exhaust all her Reptiles in the grave. Assuming Damage = Reptile will always be 3 per deck (As I'm assuming they're going to make Venominaga Goddes and possibly her Trap card 1 per deck and quite possibly Venominaga King no other reason then the fact that he's the key to get her out.)
That Damage = Repotile combined with cards like Draining Shield and the ceasless amount of devistating Venom Counters who buffer damage you take, could pollute the field with worthless Snakes for fodder. We all know the great overlord of snakes is effortless to special summon with Damage Condensor as well as Damage = Reptile. So it's a matter of taste when you choose to pull him out. Most likely when you draw "Decent of Venom goddess" as that's when I'd do it, until then, I'll just yank Cobra Jars and Venom Snakes and Venom Serpents (which I don't doubt will be in this pack. Venom Serpent is the 1 that gives a venom counter and still can attack if it wants to. Venom Boa like snake can't attack but it can give 2 venom counters, but it's also a 1 tribute monster which iisn't a down-side to this deck.)
...ugh...I'm so sorry for my horrible spelling today.

Mochito - 24. Apr, 12:40

Hmmm.

Wow, the Venom monsters are painfully over-powered. XD It still takes strategy to use them, but really; once you get Venominaga out, it's simple to pull out a Big Bang Shot/Fairy Meteor Crush/Meteorain/etc., and allow her to cause piercing damage, making her devastating. And the fact that she's regeneratable makes it even worse. In a good way. =p The Venom monsters are pretty cool, though, I don't doubt that.

Manjyome Thunder - 24. Apr, 13:45

You know, the fact, that she is unaffected by any monster, spell and trap is killing your piercing strategies? ;)
kingdom neos - 24. Apr, 18:20

its mini me neos

wow thes a dual version of neos it looks like mini me from austin powers that funny film.

kingdom neos - 24. Apr, 18:28

hmmm english name for mine neos

these name may be the english name for mini neos
neos jr
young neos
clone neos ( i'll call it mini me)

Mochito - 24. Apr, 18:30

Oooh.

That's right, Manjyome. XD I was under the assumption it was the opponent's spells and traps, guess I should have read it better.

DoubleU - 25. Apr, 22:08

Target effect

The fact Venominaga Goddess has a "cannot be targeted" as well as the immune to everything effect is confusing.

Basically, Horus 6 is able to be affected by Level Up! because the spell card does not affect him in any way, the player does. This means if Level Up! Works on Horus 6, then so does Creature Swap and Share the Pain since these cards also do not affect the monster, only the opponent player does. I'm uncertain weither this is in fact an official rule or not since everyone in the world say all of them (except Level UP) don't affect Horus 6, I just go with what they say and I just don't care enough to argue.

Regardless, if this in fact true or not, that would mean even these 2 cards which would normally effect her, wouldn't. She couldn't be tributed with Share the Pain and she couldn't switch control with Creature swap, which would make her Cannot be targeted effect still useful.
If this is in fact not true, then Venominaga Goddess' effect of can't be targeted is utterly worthless as of right now in the game and will continue to be worthless until they make brand of card like Magic or Trap or Monster... which I doubt they'll do any time soon.

Anyway, I have a quick question regarding rules to certain cards if anyone would like to enlighten me.

Alright, now when you play Magic Reflector Unit on a Terrain card and the opp plays a terrain card, your terrain card dies anyway even with the portective counter on it, so my question is. With "Rainbow Ancient City" and "Field Barrier" which make the cards unable to be destroyed, does the opponent's terrain card kill them anyway as usual or is the opponent only allowed to set terrain cards or what? My guess is they die anyway and that's how I've been playing but if the opposite is true, it's be nice to know. Expecially with Venom Swamp comming out soon.

Also if anyone can clarify the Horus 6 effect, that'd be kinda nice. If cards like Level Up, Share the Pain and Creature Swap work on Horus because the opponent is affected by the card or if Horus is still immune to them and if so does that include Level Up and if so then why is Level Up an exception?

Manjyome Thunder - 25. Apr, 23:23

Sending Horus LV6 to the graveyard is a cost for Level Up. If a monster is unaffected by Magic cards, it refers to effects, not costs. That's why level up is one of the cards that works even with Horus LV6

Alright, now when you play Magic Reflector Unit on a Terrain card and the opp plays a terrain card, your terrain card dies anyway even with the portective counter on it, so my question is.

You simply cannot activate a new Field Magic when Field Barrier is on the field. Setting another one should be fine, since it has no effect while face-down, but you cannot turn it face-up as long Field Barrier exists on the field.

DoubleU - 26. Apr, 06:46

Field Barrier

That's good to know. Thank you for the info, that makes sense with Level Up! as well, but that still leaves the question of what Venominaga Goddess' target effect is used for... oh well.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 27. Apr, 02:38

But Manjyome

Field cards can only be set in the field card zone. so, yours would have to be vacant.

Manjyome Thunder - 27. Apr, 07:44

Correct. But the example was, that you have both, a Field Magic and a Field Barrier on the field, and your opponent tries to set a new one.
When he sets one, it would not interfere with your face-up Field Magic nor would destroy it.

Just noticed, this is the 1000th comment on the blog *hooray*
Junsei - 6. May, 02:12

Sad, but inquisitive

Alright, so I'm ultra pissed (excuse my language) that there's no destiny heroes coming out in this pack. However, what might make me slitghtly less pissed is if that card Cybercard Impact! has a good ability. Are you sure that it's even called Cyberdark Impact? That's the name of a set, not a card. Anyways manjyome, I beg of you, let me know what that card does, please! Reply as soon as you have the answer. And if anyone else knows the ability, than please tell me!

Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 03:56

This is good!

Awesome another update! We now can guess at all of the effects of the new cards we haven't seen before, and from the three new ones that were revealed, it seems like Normal monsters get some good support. But we won't have to guess for long! Everyone knows they can't keep the cards secret beyond the release-date! 1 week to go!!

cyberzane19 - 6. May, 04:01

wats the big deal wit a card named cyberdark impact there was a card called Pharaoh's servant which was also a pack and that card is useless without spirit of the pharaoh

Verfalk - 6. May, 09:59

Aliens!!!

Cool, new Alien monster!!! Does anybody know the stats and the effect of the Alien Soldier? Is this the only Alien card in TAEV? Hopefully they'll make more Alien monsters, they have more than enough spells and traps... :-/

Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 13:59

Uhh, dude. We don't know yet. Manjyome's not trying to hide stuff from you, and I don't think this card has been used in the anime, so there shouldn't be anything else anyone can tell you. But being the only guaranteed Alien support in the set so far, it does look promising. Ever since their release Aliens have always had support in every following booster.
GUN - 6. May, 12:22

cyberdark impact

i hope its like
turn up to 3 lv 4 dragon monster in your graveyard into level 3 dragons

GUN - 6. May, 12:35

or

or its the trap card zane uses
to turn al his monsters in his graveyard in to dragons

i can wait to attach my cyberdragon to my cyberdark dragon
unless five headed dragon is the graveyard, then il attach him :P

160AnimeFreekz - 6. May, 12:55

hmmm

maybe the cyderdark impact is either a card that tyranno hassleberry might later use that got to do with dinosaurs since most of his card have impact in their name or it might got to do with cyberdark dragons.it is definitely not the trap card zane use to change all his monsters in the graveyard to dragons.

P.s i wander why they don't make anymore crystal(gem)beasts support anymore?
Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 14:01

Umm, but you do see the name of a card in the set called Fortune Teller of Crystal, right? It looks like that card relates to the Crystals, from the name.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 18:49

Question

Ok so I know Tokage means Lizard but Manjyome if Kami means God then how's Kamisori mean Razor?

DoubleU - 6. May, 19:10

The Hair Gods

kami ALSO means hair in japanese, just depends on how you word it. ^_^ kamisori is the japanese word for "razor".
Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 19:25

Oh then that makes sense, thx
DoubleU - 6. May, 19:08

The New Cards

My goodness this pack has a lot of support for the E-heros.
Hope of Fifth which according to the show lets you take 5 E-heros from your grave and put them back into your deck or fusion deck then draw 3 cards.
The Neo-Spacian defusion which searches your deck for the material for a Neos fusion.

It’s a pity this pack only has Rainbow Dragon as Gem Beast support, I was hoping for Gem Tree and the Gem Beast equip card which gets a Gem Beast from your deck and plays it as a Magic when it’s destroyed, but 0oh well. They’ll probably be in Gladiator’s Assault or something.

I’m getting the feeling Konami suddenly just decided they didn’t like Johan anymore. Anyone who’s seen the new episode of Yu-gi-oh GX would know what I mean. ;_; Maybe because he like swamped the first 2 3rds of season 3. Every duel was either Johan or Judai. ^_^

For those of you that are a bit confused. I HIGHLY doubt Fortune Teller of Crystal support card. It might be but it’s highly unlikely. (It’s probably a fortune teller using a crystal ball) Mostly because the Gem Beasts are “Hougyokujuu” in Japanese and doesn’t have the same name as it does for the Gem Beasts. I don’t think Konami is going to just give up on the Gem Beasts since they’re so popular. (Unless they truly decided they hate Johan) I’m sure more of the Gem Beast cards will be coming out later. What I’m wondering is, if they actually make G-Force, E-Force and M-Force into real cards, what will they’re English names and pictures be? ^_^ Since for some reason they decided to change their OCG names, these cards wouldn’t make much sense.

No surprise to see Venom Boa and Venom Serpent in this pack. In fact, all of Cobra’s cards are here. Snake Rain, Snake Whistle (YES! SNAKE WHISTLE YEAH!!!!) Sorry ^_^ Random outburst. And they added a couple others like Snake Cobra and Venom Splash. I hope Venom Shot isn’t as mediocrely worthless as it is in the show. According to the show it lets you add 1 or 2 venom counters to a monster when you have a Venonimaga on the field. (or maybe it’s just the King, not totally sure.) I wonder if Kamisori Tokage is a Venom support (or possibly alien support) that is able to get Venom counters. Or maybe this is the Reptile version of those searcher cards. Gets out a 1500 or less reptile when it dies in battle. I was assuming they were going to make 1 in this pack since there are very few Monster cards that would allow you to special summon Venominaga King, and since he can be special summoned by magics and traps, it seemed kinda pointless not to just let him be gotten out with monsters as well.
Snake Rain = Discard a card (reptile) to send 3 reptiles in your deck to the grave
Snake Whistle = When a reptile dies, get another reptile.
Burial from a Different dimention = When Venominaga is running low on discard fodder and atk, get some fodder back. (^_^ Hee, this is also REALLY useful in the Valcanio deck)

Ojama Knight!? O_o

Necro Gardna is nice to see. When he’s in the grave, you can remove him from the game to negate an attack or something similar to that. Acording to the show again. So it’s OCG effect might be different.

I’m sad that no further Gem Beast support is in this deck but since Rainbow Dragon is in it, it’s not a total loss, I still believe the Gem Tree and the other nice cards will be out in the next pack. ^_^ Plus the Venom Deck which everyone could run since only their off handed royalty is rare apparently, and both of them could be thrown in any alien or reptile deck. I don’t know if the Venom deck has enough support to survive without it’s Ace Cards. The Gem Beasts certainly can since they can stand on their own against some of the best decks in the game, even without Rainbow Dragon or Hamon.

Anyway, has anyone found out anything about second summoning yet? I’m assuming the pre-release for Tactical Evolution is out already. According to Ideal 808 second summoning involves 2 copies of the same card which sounds really weird. I still need to know if this or the previously assumed effect was correct and if the second summon is indeed treated as a summon or if it’s just an effect with summon for a name (like contact fusion)

Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 19:23

About Fortune

However it is somewhat possible that Manjyome simply went ahead and translated Fortune Teller as being 'of Crystal' since we know the EN names now.

Counter Counter is cool sounding. It must make you pay a tremendous cost to negate a Counter Trap Card. But I don't know what Spell Capture and Trap Capture could do.
DoubleU - 6. May, 21:52

Maybe, but I doubt it

It is possible, but I doubt it. I don't think he would've put the kanji for crystal in replace of "Hougyoku" on the Japanese name of the card. Besides. He would've translated the Cocoons into Chrysalis if he was going to pre-translate.
Hamon - Divine Ground - 6. May, 22:03

ah, That is a good point, and Rainbow Dragon having Gem in its name...but it is saddening
GUN - 6. May, 20:13

i think

trap capture and magic capture will be continous trap and like when your oppont activates a magic/trap card you negate the card as long as this card remains on the field

ojamaking - 8. May, 07:05

normal monsters???

venom cobra... it is far from the other venom cards, prompting me to think that it is a normal monster, that and all the cards above it one the list alien soldier, range guard of dark world, hound dragon, and volcanic rat are somehow normal, that or they decided to put venom cobra there for a reason

DoubleU - 8. May, 07:46

Normal Monsters?

I don't really think they're normal monsters... I think all the monster on the top all represent different theme deck enhancement cards. Volcanic Rat obviously to the Volcanic deck (Which is wierd since all the Volcanio monsters had weapon names.) The dark world, Rainbow Dragon, Venom Cobra. All these are just theme deck enhancers.
In case you didn't know, before Tactical Evolution it was already known that Venom Snake, Serpent and Boa were already... I guess known as part of the deck...or something. Basically these were the monsters known to be in the Venoms. Venom Cobra would be the only 1 not known prior to Cobra's deck basically which would make sense that he'd be in the theme deck enhancor section with the otehrs at the top...of course I could also be wrong and he is a normal monster tha'ts just immune to venom counters. ^_^ Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, it's just I don't think they'd mmake another normal Dark World, a normal Valcanic monster when they're the only deck support for them in this pack and then make Rainbow Dragon the only single card deck support with an effect for this pack...
Venom Serpent is 4 star 1000 / 1800 it's the only known Venom that can give a counter and attack as well. Basically it's effect is. Once per turn, give 1 venom counter to a monster. But that was it's anime effect. Not it's OCG effect.
ojamaking - 8. May, 14:10

you dont seem to get what i am saying, the fact that he is the only venom monster not previously known is another reason that he coud be a normal, but my main concern is this, the order of cards is this: normal, effect, fusion, spell, trap. and look at all the venom monsters, how they are grouped together, and that one is way off at the top of the page makes me think it is normal and all of them above it, and also in no way was i talking about that ridiculous "rainbow" dragon
DoubleU - 8. May, 17:47

You could be right.

*Sheds a tear cause you made fun of Rainbow Dragon* ^_^ You could be right, I'm not doubting that; goodness knows my assumptions aren't always correct. I'm just saying it seems unlikely they would make the only support cards for those other decks that aren't in this pack and then make them normal monster which would make it unlikely they'd be put in any of their respective decks. Plus all the support cards with Rainbow Dragon being among them makes me think they have effects but they just decided all previous support would be compiled at the top. You still could be right though...I guess that's just me with my wishful thinking.
160AnimeFreekz - 9. May, 13:05

diviner of crystal

i think, that the diviner of crystal card is the card that lets you discard it to the graveyard to add one Ancient ruin rainbow city to your hand. its funny how thay dn't have a card that letys u discard it and then you get venom swamp in this pack. by the way , that guy who said that venom cobra and volcanic rat is normal might be right. some cards have themes and effect but others are nomal.like the dark world monsters. all of them have special ability except for zure.

GUN - 9. May, 14:11

i think there normal monster to

and with a name like Guard of Dark Realm - Range

i think he has 2300 defense and zero attack

lusterdragon - 9. May, 14:34

re: i think there normal monster to

i dont think so the dark realm name mean one thing to me this is another dark world monster!
ojamaking - 9. May, 22:58

i rock

i am the M-A-S-T-E-R, i knew they would be normal, im disappointed with the dark world the volcanic one is more fuel but they could have made it with an effect to help use the blaze cannon, and the alien one i am just happy with
lusterdragon - 9. May, 14:32

manjyome can you answer me something?

okay a have a question about the dual summon

is for example a have variable armor in my deck(the insect monster of this set dual monster) and is my turn and a activate insect imitation
(normal spell card tribute one monster on your side of the field and special summon one insect monster from your with 1 level higher than the tribute monster) and special summon variable armor in my field.
the question is : is posible activate the dual summon of variable armor if a special summoned on the field and a have the normal summon of my turn?

please answer me ?

GUN - 9. May, 15:58

offcourse

iif you havent normal summond that turn
you can use your normal summon to activate his dual sommon

GUN - 9. May, 17:42

im right :D

gaurd of dark realm is a normal monster, only 2100 defense but i was close

and hound dragon, a level 3 dragon with 1700 attack
thats like so awesome :)

and cyberdark impact card looks so cool
i cant wait to find out what it does

DoubleU - 9. May, 21:36

Hee~

Welp, I was wrong. ^_^ Indeed they are normal monsters. But hey, that alien and that cobra are both vicious in the Venom and Alien / Dino decks. This is cool

I knew the Crystal monster didn't involve the Gem Beasts in any direct way. It wouldn't make sense to name a card Crystal in Japanese when they are in no way refering to crystals.

Cyber Dark Impact is gonna make my friend squirm in extacy as well as that 1700 dragon. He's been praying for Cyber support in this pack and he certainly got it ^_^

If I had any of the Neos fusions this would be a good oppurtunity to run a Neos deck. I might have to start investing in that deck. Well cool. It's good to see all that's in the pack for once, I can't way till the cards are released. Should be this Saturday and everyone who pre-ordered them will probably be getting them by Wednesday or so. >v<

The Legendary Underdog Joey - 10. May, 04:29

huh

whats up with the broken bamboo sword and the two support cards for flint

GUN - 10. May, 12:51

well

flint i get, two support cards are pretty cool
but i dont see broken bamboo sword or something
how is it good

cyberdestiny411 - 10. May, 14:11

i guess the only logical thing to do with broken bamboo sword is to equip it to a monster that has equip effects like gearfried the swordmaster. btw cyberdark impact! is awesome and hound dragon they will make my cyberdark deck pretty sweet but now i have to put in another cyberdark dragon. o well i guess ill just have to wait until august until it comes out in the U.S.

DoubleU - 10. May, 16:47

Broken Bamboo Sword

Well I would certainly throw Broken Bamboo sword in a deck for comical value, and in fact I intend to.
I guess there's gonna be some kind of warrior in Gladiator's Assault like I dunno. "Dojo Sensei of Boken" or something like that who will get like a 2000 atk bonus when equiped with a Broken Bamboo Sword. Or maybe another Equip card that reqires you to send 1 face up Broken Bamboo Sword on your side of the field to the grave to play this totally l33t powerful bamboo sword. *shrug* I dunno. Either that or Konami came up with 79 cards and just couldn't think of anything for the 80th. ^_^

ojamaking - 13. May, 07:56

i agree they are probably going to make it part of a completely impractical way to give a monster an insane attack boost
GUN - 10. May, 19:38

killing someone with bamboo sword rules

il be like, i activate overload fusion and then i summon chimeratech and equip him with bamboo sword.
LOL

160AnimeFreekz - 13. May, 01:54

rainbow ruin

manjyome can i ask you a question?do you know how rainbow ruin gets different effect depending on how many you have in the spell/trap zone? i was wondering if you have 5 of them as continuous spell, does rainbow city gets all the effect and you can use them once per turn like you draw one card and special summon crystal beast as well?

Hamon - Divine Ground - 13. May, 02:43

Yep, that's exactly how it works. If you had 4, you get the 4th effect and every one below it.
DoubleU - 13. May, 11:14

My goodness...

Well, my Rainbow Dragon is Ultra, Ultamite and Holo. Hee, 3 rareityies. That's like Cyber Dragon, ^_^ you kind of are required to have 1 of each. I'm probably never going to be lucky enough to obtain all 3 but I hope at least the ultra and the holo since it's be cool to show them off in their different rareities. I'm surprised Venominaga isn't Holo, but I guess they did indeed say "only 1 card is holo" so that makes sense.
I luv you Rainbow Dragon!!! I hope to get you soon!

DoubleU - 30. May, 08:23

The uncommons

Broken Bamboo Sword is probably gonna have card support later. Probably a warrior in Gladiator's Assault. Gift Card has the obvious applications with Bad Reaction to Simachi which makes it 1 of the best Simochi support ever made. The opp draws 2 cards...well there are those decks that try to deck out the opp by forcing them to draw a lot. I dunno what exactly these cards are for but I put Broken Bamboo Sword in my Dual Monster deck cause Broken Bamboo Sword is just so awesome ^_^ ... that and I only made it out of spare cards and didn't expect it to be useful anyway.

mangaman - 4. Jun, 21:33

THE RAINBOW DRAGON AND......

E-HEROS R AWSOME IN THIS PACK!!!!!!

it amazes me how the crystal beasts are nothing without rainbow dragon im attempting to make a crystal beast deck and its pretty bad so far. if anyone can give some tips on how to make a good crystal beast deck that would be awesome. much abliged

megazx - 7. Jul, 09:35

where is the zombie gemini?

does anyone know if a new zombie monster besides zombie master is coming out in TAEV?

E-Hero Spartan - 7. Jul, 23:20

if this set comes out in august for america then america better start to hury up with new gx episodes so the cardss make sence liek they always do instead of doing of this crap for naruto and transformers

cyberzane19 - 8. Aug, 22:52

the tcg

the tcg completely ruined how cool rainbow dragon looks in holo rare and renaming it ghost rare ( which you can't tell wat monster looks like) at least you can see wat RD looks like in the holo rare

Forrenz - 12. Sep, 00:59

I know nobody will read this, but...

I've seen Ghost Rainbow Dragon, and it looks holographic to me. I'm just glad I actually scored Secret rares Rainbow Dragon and Vennominaga! :)

I'm still wondering though... When will those Create-a-Card winners' cards be made?
phosphrens - 14. Sep, 23:08

Ghost Rares are the same as Holographic Rare, the only difference is that Ghost Rares don't look well when scanned. I think Create-a-Card winner's cards get released in special Tournament packs.
