Who should roll the pack?

This pack mostly contains supports for Zombie, Warrior, and Spellcaster type monsters, with a bit of Psychic, Machine, and Thunder mixed in the box. It's good for players who want to play those supported monsters to enhance their decks, but not so much for other deck types.

Cards you should get

[UR] Vampire Lord

	★5/DARK/Zombie/ ATK 2000/DEF 1500
When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: Declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap); your opponent sends 1 card of that type from their Deck to the Graveyard. During your next Standby Phase after this card in your possession was destroyed and sent to your Graveyard by an opponent's card effect: Special Summon this card from the Graveyard..

Vampire Lord

Can be used to mill down your opponent's deck, is technically immune to destruction by card effects making it the perfect counter for cards like Order to Charge and yomi ship, the only downside is the low 2000 attack. Shines best in a zombie deck where it is easily summoned.

[UR] Red-Eyes Wyvern

	★4/WIND/Dragon/ ATK 1800/DEF 1600
During your End Phase, if you did not Normal Summon/Set a monster this turn: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Red-Eyes" monster from your Graveyard, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick".

Red-Eyes Wyvern

Very good for REBD combo decks to quickly summon red-eyes b. dragon and also serve as a 1800 attack beater.

[UR] Soul Resurrection

	TRAP CARD/Continuous
Activate this card by targeting 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in Defense Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.

Soul Resurrection

Use this card to special summon a high leveled monster from the graveyard. Best used in decks with high level normal monsters like BEWD and REBD. Can also be used to summon gemini monsters.

[UR] Gozuki

	★4/EARTH/Zombie/ ATK 1700/DEF 800
During your Main Phase: You can send 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can banish 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard, except "Gozuki"; Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand. You can only use each effect of "Gozuki" once per turn.

A good addition to any zombie deck. Used to send zombies to the graveyard to mill down your deck, and when destroyed allows you to summon a zombie type monster from your hand. 1700 attack also serves as a decent beater.

Gozuki

[UR] Blazing Inpachi

	★4/FIRE/Pyro/ ATK 1850/DEF 0
A wicked wooden spirit now burning in flames. Its fire attack is powerful, but it will soon be nothing but ashes.

Blazing Inpachi

1850 attack is high among 4-starred monsters. Put this card in normal based decks to use as a beater.

[R] Cards of the Red Stone

	Normal Spell
Send 1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand to the Graveyard; draw 2 cards, then you can send 1 Level 7 "Red-Eyes" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 "Cards of the Red Stone" per turn.

Cards of the Red Stone

Use this card for REBD combo decks to send red-eyes b. dragon to the graveyard, then special summon it from the grave with red eyes wyvern or red eyes spirit.

[R] Ultimate Providence

	Counter Trap
When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated: Discard the same type of card (Monster, Spell, or Trap); negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

Ultimate Providence

A good card to negate any type of card effects but only if you have the sam type of card in your hand. If used properly, could be used shutdown your opponent's combo.

[N] Gift Exchange

	Normal Spell
Both players banish 1 card from their Decks, face-down and if they do, during the End Phase of this turn, both players add to their hands the card their opponent banished by this effect.

Gift Exchange

This card can be used to remove parasite paracide and other unwanted cards from your deck while also giving you a possibly good card from your opponent's deck

I made a Spell Counter Deck + a Hunder Family Deck.
I posted them on the Billboard in the game!

They are fun decks to play.
However, I don't think they will be meta right now.

The engine's they use relying on build up!

It is difficult for them to build up against decks like 3SD.

However, They are fun to play!

In addition, I improved my Dino deck.
It is smoking hot right now!
I manage to crush peeps in ranked duels.

I also talked with some people in room 2!
We all hashed out a very awesome Pyro deck.
It looks very awesome on paper.
However, We don't own all the cards to make the deck at the moment.

We might test it eventually.
You never know it might be bad in practice.

I am making a zombie deck using Kaiba's skill beatdown

I'm so jealous Lola!
I want to make a zombie deck!
However, I don't own all the cards.

I want a V. Lord Zombie deck!
I was thinking of using Kaiba because he does the animation of V. Lord.

I am not sure which skill I want to use.
I was thinking beat down.

However, I heard you can get restart or balance for Kaiba.

I think 1 of the 3 might be good.
Beat down will be easiest one to get though.

The moment you get all UR/SR cards except 1 UR from a new display within the first 87 out of 200 booster packs, but instead of resetting the box, hoping you will get the missing UR one soon afterwards - actually getting it in your second last pack...

I opened almost 190 packs to get the last UR one. If I were you I would reset the box because you don't know when can you get that last card, it maybe in the last pack.

I was in the same boat except i had like 3 ur cards left... I made a big mistake and DID reset and now I've bought 60 packs and have only gotten 1 ur and 2 sr's. WHERE THE 🔥 ARE THE RARER CARDS AT??

Ah.. It reminds me how I got my Mirror Wall in the 2nd last pack. What a waste.. Don't reset and just open it. 50% chance is much better than 0.05%

The new Red Lotus is broken in perfect hands. It allows too many combos and recycles key vanillas such as balls and harpies.
i think wyvern is a little bit overrated, its major usage is as a 2k beater because its effect is really slow compared to 3DS .

Almost everyone in PVP, especially in ranked matches, I've encountered most of them using 3 star 🔥 skill. I guess Harpies are not meta anymore and 3 star 🔥 is the new meta.

What can you do with this card

It's part of the 'Lighray' archetype. 'Lightray'/'Lightsworm' decks rely on discarding cards from your deck/hand to special summon big monsters like Diabolos or Judgement Dragon(personal archnemesis) to achieve REALLY easy OTKs. Even easier now considering that we have only 4000LP. On DuelGeneration (another yugioh game for tablets) almost everyone used that deck before pendulum became a thing.

its one of the card you need to achieve the OTK. Diablolos (not out yet) is the 2nd piece. so we are almost there.
