Ok, this seems like a small amount, but it’s given us some interesting clues (especially that these tournaments will be held in December).
– First, we should get a “Necromaid” Deck in “Gias Charge of the Nova” (which could explain Necromaid Lurker)
– Second, we should get a “Gradius” Deck as well; but, seeing as it only specifies 15+ LIGHT Machine monsters with 800 DEF, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is complemented by support hinted for Ultimate Flag (which is focused on LIGHT Machine Normal Monsters)
Either way, just like Duel Links, Master Duels, and OCG, Rush Duels looks like it’ll also be getting Gradius-related stuff.
If the ultimate flag new card was just a one off to just have it be included in a Gradius theme deck like they did with Cyber Dragon, I’m gonna be so disappointed
I think that will depend on whether Konami wants to break its pattern in “Gias Charge of the Nova”
Generally speaking, Core Packs in Rush Duels since they introduced Ritual Monsters have followed the following formula:
Three major Decks (the ones with the most support with 10 to 13 cards)
– 1 Anime Deck
– 1 OCG/TCG Import Deck
– 1 Original Deck
There was only one case where we had two Anime Decks and one Original Deck (Sevens Road, Tamabot, and Plasmatic Model)
From there, it’s followed by two to three minor Decks (which only have 3 to 5 new cards)
So far, “Gias Charge of the Nova” has the following:
– Its Anime Deck is Luke’s Deck.
– Its OCG/TCG Imported Deck appears to be a Super War-Lion Deck (same as Hungry Burger in the previous Set)
That leaves the Original Deck to cover (which could be Necromaid or Ultimate Flag, though the latter could also be considered an Anime Deck)
Therefore, Konami would have to break the pattern to have two OCG/TCG Imported Decks (Gradius and Super War-Lion) and one Anime Deck (Luke)
Although everything seems to indicate that Ultimate Flag will receive something extra anyway: it received reprints a few months ago (and works with Normal Monsters like Gradius)
if we are getting Gradius, then likely a Legend variant of Limiter Removal will be with it. I want the deck to have a boss monster, but honestly there arent enough low level aggro decks in Rush so maybe just good support for the ships.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Konami decides that Limiter Removal will be a LEGEND card in Rush Duel if that happens. Like you said, there’s not a lot of Aggro decks that mainly focuses on lower-level monsters, so that would be a welcome addition to the game.
