A new legend arrives from the mists of Illusion!
New “Chimera” Usage Guide
“Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast” was a card used by Yami Yugi during Battle City. In the anime, when destroyed, it could Special Summon “Berfomet” or “Gazlle the King of Mythical Beasts” from the GY which helped Yugi in multiple pinches.
This theme introduces the new Illusionist-Type (幻想魔族), which has in the video games been localized as Illusionist or Dream. The term originally comes up from the manga as the magic type used by Pegasus J. Crawford for Illusionist Faceless Mage and Relinquished. It’s been generally used to cover Mythical Monsters, Reality Warpers and even Hypnosis and Illusions.

hmm. I was excited about the retrains of Befomet, Gazelle, and Chimera, until they turned out to be engines for a new monster type, instead of support for the Phantom Beast cards.
Wouldn’t be a “The Duelist” set without something like this. I’d much rather have “Air” or even “Elemental” as a new type.
Awesome stuff. I wonder if they’ll make some Pegasus related cards since he was the original user of Illusion cards in the early days of the manga.
I would not be shocked if we get a retrain of Illusionist Faceless Mage that’s Illusionist-Type, along with a few other generic Illusionist monsters.
I was re-watching Yami’s duel with Rafael yesterday and thought “it sure would be cool if we got a Berfomet retrain” haha. Guess its tine to manifest Toon support
Honestly I would have preferred something like celtic guards or buster blader but I guess we have something new after all
KONAMI PLS GIVE MY MECHA PHANTOM BEAST SOME REAL CARDS
WTF! You can normal summon mirror swordsman (which you can search with cornfield, so 6 copies), tribute to special summon bephomet, who will search gazelle and chimera fusion, fusion into chimera.
You get to discard the enemy a card and have now a negate on the form of mirror swordsman in the GY. And then you can banish chimera fusion to special 2 monsters, OR NOT, simply end the engine there without two more bricks!
This is an amazing generic Fusion support! and I LOVE IT!
