That pack art. He’s coming. Voidvelgr Chaosmachia!
We knew Chaosmachia was coming after the pack art was revealed just over a week ago.
Only took 24 years to get a proper LV 7 Summoned Daemon.
Absolutely gorgeous artwork. Really, REALLY makes me wish Konami would release Rush Duels internationally.
Burst Stream of Destruction was literally just reprinted in the SD lol.
Black Dragon Skull is an interesting take on BSD. SS dominates the Fusion and is Fiend rather than Dragon (making it deliberately incompatible with Meteorite Dragon Nails to avoid it being too strong after its effect). Meteor Flare Fusion can fuse the new SS retrain and Moon from the hand. The effect lets BDS beat over most 3200-3600 ATK monsters in battle, and destroy nearly everything else with its effect while setting up your GY. I hope the OG BSD gets printed at some point.
Engine of Destruction drastically improves the Deck’s consistency. You can recover a Blue-Eyes you previously dumped or used as Fusion material back to your hand. Intended to be used with Vision and Bright specifically. Vision can name treat itself on the field as BEWD and as 2 Fusion materials if you fuse it for BEUD, Bright is treated as BEWD in the hand, and UBEL (if recovered) can fuse materials from the hand.
Compulsory has a similar activation requirement as Icarus Attack and Fish Depth Charge, but with the added versatility of being more generic and bouncing any monster on the field back to its owner’s hand, including your own. As many powerful monsters have Trap destruction immunity, and the ones that don’t are still resource intensive to summon, CED can easily remove a problem card from your opponent’s field without contributing to their GY. If CED also works when you Summon monsters (the other Traps only work if your opponent Summons), it can be used offensively too. It has to rightfully compete for the Legend Trap slot against the likes of Cylinder and Torrential, but it may see some success.
You don’t know how much I appreciate the Guilty-Gear reference.
Curious and interesting fact to know: Summoned Skull’s new Retrain can be recovered from the GY with Ecliceras Drakon because its specific statistics comply.
That demonic Dragon is only in STONKS lately.
Red-eyes eating GOOD in rush duels like 2 packs in a row?? I just wished it got the same love in the ocg/tcg
Impressive how 2 summoned skull + Red Eyes cards can be much better than the entire meteor dragon archetype
dont sayy that, they are veeeery good
