I don't know if I'm allowed to post this but...I find this interesting, and it comes out a month after Extreme Victory, and 5Ds maybe be ending, but from the close release dates, maybe 5Ds and Zexal will overlap???

[Khaleaves]

Excel monsters here we come!

[Bass.EXE]

Yep! But I'm confused why they decided to release it so close to Extreme Victory, and having the pack "balanced' should be interesting with some nerfing...

[Khaleaves]

Yep! But I'm confused why they decided to release it so close to Extreme Victory,
Because they need money?

[Bass.EXE]

Because they need money?

Maybe, this also means that Zexal will start airing before April, unless they want to hype up the anime... This thread should also be stickied, since it is a pack announcement ...

[Ty the Tasmanian Tiger]

Maybe they are releasing the pack so quickly because they want to run parallel packs. i.e. still give 3 months until another 5ds pack, 3 or 4 months for another zexcel pack.

[RyanAtlus]

Meh. Ganno wait for more info.

[ElectroBlade]

Cover card is apparently "Revise Dragon"

Also some cards have been released (some Exceeds already) on the wiki:

[KING OF NIGERIA]

Guess this'll be like TDGS: filled with crappy support cards for the new game mechanic.

[Dragon Emperor]

Not a fan of exceed monsters, but I do like Revise Dragons' art.

[Jynx137]

They've filled up all the blanks on the Generation Force list.

[Wendle]

OOOOooooo..............

Looks intresting

[Ty the Tasmanian Tiger]

New cards anounced.

Steelswarm Roach - makes me wonder whats going to happen to DT
9 E-Hero cards - Heat + wind and vision and masked heros?

New Dragon Synchro - no specific level 6 monsters needed
Fiend Rank 5 Xyz - http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Adreus,_Keeper_of_Armageddon
^awesome card BTW, plaus good art, too

[Crad]

Ardeus is pretty sexy.

Then I read that it requires two Level 5 monsters.

Not impossible to get out, but honestly, the effect just isn't as great as most Synchros'. Sure, it's possible to get two Level 5's out in a single turn, but who's going to bother when you can get Scrap Dragon or Brionac out with even greater ease. This is just going to take up precious extra deck slots.

Will need to read up on some of the other cards later, but for now, work time.

EDIT:

imotbhimo, http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Empty_Space_Sea_Serpent_Levaiel is the only Exceed (Xyz) monster with potential to be used in a competitive deck, in which case he's still highly situational.

There's the Relinquished like one, and Tera-Byte, but I still feel a Scrap Dragon is more useful and easier to get out.

[Psy_Hero*]

I love this set for the new HEROes it has.

[Bass.EXE]

they really changed Exceed Monsters to xyz monsters...really Konami?

Have you read Steelswarm Roach's (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Steelswarm_Roach) effect yet? One of the best, if not the best exceed so far.

[Rich]

roach is really good, glad they brought out a solid monster. Being that he only has 1900 but a very good effect, i can see him being ran in either 1-2. very good if you can get him out early. but keeping him protected might be a slight problem (though im glad konami gave him only 1900 atk. for a rank 4 he could have gotten anywhere between 2100-2500) just based off some of the current rank 4's we know about.)

[Ryumaru]

Ardeus and Tiras are some of the best art in YGO I've seen and I want them just for that. the thing with exceeds is they really just seem like a minus in terms of card advantage. Even steel swarm roach is a spot in your extra deck and 2 level 4 monsters but black horn of heaven does it better. I guess the fact that he's also a 1900 beat stick is nice.

[diegodavid94]

Hmm, i would like to ask a question about the HERO cards in the set. I ask because I love HERO monsters. My question is if cards labeled past the set's card count, (which in this case are the HERO cards) are they all secret rares? I wouldn't mind shiny HERO cards, but they'd cost more money...

Edit: font was black >.>

[The 11th Doctor]

I like how we're getting Nova Master now. It'll help Hero beat a bit and make them a little closer to maining super poly.

Well, he can beat up level 4s 1800 and under and if they pull off getting a lvl 5 or higher with more atk than him, it dies.

[Yoda900]

I'm really excited about this set. I'm looking forward to getting cards like Gagaga Magician and the Wind-Up monsters.

[Yugi Muto]

I think wonder wand is ****ing broken.....

[Rath]

GK's are gonna be having field day with Wonder Wand, no doubt.

I'mma make a thread on this card....

good combos with the card too

Recruiter + Wonder Wand = Search and Draw?

the timing wont be right :l

draw first then search I believe?

[Rath]

The card is still great. Make Descendant a 2500 beater that can pop cards and ties with Shi En and Stardust? It's also a great budget replacement for Duality.

Also, I don't believe there's a timing miss since Recruiter is mandatory.

[Black-Wing Neos]

i'll buy a couple packs but i'm not really looking forward to the xyz monsters i'm still loving synchros.

[Grimsley]

no, Recruiters effect is mandatory it will only activate when it was sent to the grave, when you draw your 2 cards, you cant search

[Bass.EXE]

I have found out our Sneak Peak Preview Card:
http://www.konami.com/yugioh/articles/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/GENF-EN000.jpg
Xyz Veil
GENF-EN000
Continuous Trap card
Face-up Xyz Monsters with Xyz Materiel cannot be targeted by card effects

Interesting, but kind of slow, I guess Xyz Decks could use it. Do not want.

New TCG Preview = Pain Painter


400 ATK/200 DEF/DARK/Zombie - Tuner/Level 2
"While this card is face-up on the field, its name is treated as "Plaguespreader Zombie." Once per turn: You can target up to 2 face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control, except this card; they become Level 2 until the End Phase. They cannot be used as Synchro Material monsters unless it is for the Synchro Summon of a Zombie-Type Synchro monster."

Could be interesting.

Seems alright. Hopefully will make archfiend zombie skull playable.

[Kaname Madoka]

I don't LOVE the Zombie Synchros, so the card is kind of useless to me. Still, could make them a bit better.

The Zombie Synchros are actually quite good IMO.

[Rich]

ARCHFIEND ZOMBIE SKULL :D

also, gives access to rank 2 exceeds

[Yugi Muto]

this card is awesome....

[Ty the Tasmanian Tiger]

Looks cool. That's as far as it goes for me.

Finally. I've been waiting for something like this to happen since last year.

[Dragon Emperor]

You can sync for ANY of the zombie's with this card, finally makes Archfiend Zombie Skull playable aswell, yay! :D

And Revived King Ha Des is awesome, ,,/,, Treeborn! Die monarchs! Die!

[Zenmaniac]

Its gonna be so wierd in 5 years when 5ds is considered nostalgic

[Rich]

if yugioh lasts another 5 years

[KING OF NIGERIA]

Its gonna be so wierd in 5 years when 5ds is considered nostalgic

Like GX?

Exactly

his effect is so dirty

looks like he is 2300, so pretty much he will be a 3300 attacker while equipped, and can negate his own destruction. pretty decent tbh.

[Ty the Tasmanian Tiger]

Piercing Moray sucks but Smashing Horn looks somewhat promising. It can be used against many big cards but I'm not sure how well it will be. I'll definitely try siding/main it, though.

correction, he is 1300/1000, which is most lackluster for a level 5, even with his effect going to 2300, still lackluster, Caius is better. About all I see that doing is maybe being sided in for Fish OTK against Macro, an even then its not the best card to side since you need a tribute.

[Excalibur]

9 cards, not 5
