Man, this hard know know is the monsters, the faces dont reveal who archtype is
But maybe the right one is RR because yes
The one on the right appears to be Voidvelgr Chaosmachia, but it appears to have an updated/improved design compared to the Anime version.
The one on the left is a mystery honestly. It appears to be a Royal Rebel’s, but the first impression it gave me was a Blaze Fiend Monster (especially one of the Maximum Monsters)
Interesting that despite Blue-Eyes, Harpies, Celeb Rose, and Royal Rebel’s being advertised in this pack, the artwork instead features LOG and two unknown monsters. The one on the right may be a Blue-Eyes or Royal Rebel still but very intriguing nonetheless.
And in the pack, Yudias, Yuga and Otes will have new cards, so can be a new dark sevens too
One of the two unknown monsters is Voidvelgr Chaosmachia, the one on the right side.
Ok, we have the cover of the pack and, to my surprise, with the exception of two, none of the Decks mentioned in the initial description are the cover of the pack.
Either way, it seems confirmed that there is some LIGHT Galaxy support in the package.
– The Monster on the right appears to be Voidvelgr Chaosmachia just from some details shown in the image. Either way, if it’s Chaosmachia, then Zwijo’s support is a no-brainer for this pack. However… how will they adapt Voidvelgr Chaosmachia for the Rush Duels format?
– The Monster on the left gives me a Blaze Fiend vibe, but it could be a Royal Rebel’s. However, the static and artwork differs greatly from what you would expect from a Royal Rebel’s Monster.
Zuwijo support does bring into question of whether we get Pandora or Dinois’ cards in here as well. This would seem to be the perfect time to print her cards as any since Micronova, Heavy Hive, and Radiant Burn work on all Galaxy monsters regardless of Attribute. I doubt Pandora will remain in anime backlog due to Zuwijo’s status as rival.
I am also curious as to how far Yudias and Zuwijo support will go. As we saw with Yuamu and Rovian in Red Reboot, Konami gave them new cards instead of printing their anime backlog. So it remains to see how far Zuwijo’s unprinted Equips and Monsters will go.
This is shaping up to be a more diverse pack than I thought, which concerns me a bit as we don’t have much space in here to begin with, begging the question of exactly how many new cards each theme will get.
(This will be a long post)
Well, we know that “High-Grade Collection” has 88 cards and it is known from the initial information that there are Reprints in this pack.
Taking into account the officially revealed themes, let’s see how much space they will cover in the package.
– Blue-Eyes: I feel like it doesn’t need any Reprints since most of the important Reprints were achieved in the SD. That means they would only be able to get new cards – I feel like Blue-Eyes would only get a handful of 3 to 5 new cards.
– Celeb Rose: This Deck is still very new in my opinion. I don’t think I need many Reprints in general, maybe just Celeb Rose Magician and Witch with Charis Magic Scepter – Death Wand. Other than that, I think they’ll get 3 to 5 more new cards (many Yuna Anime’s Cards are obvious candidates to be printed)
– Dark Magician: That’s a rare case since the Deck had Reprints in “Megaroad Pack 2”. However, there were many cards absent such as Dark Magician Girl and Dark Resonance Burst. I feel that Dark Magician needs between 5 to 7 new cards to improve the strategy provided in “Megaroad Pack 2”.
– Harpie: This is another Deck that doesn’t need Reprints in general, but Konami could reprint key pieces of the package where the Deck received form to have its own identity. As with Blue-Eyes, Harpie will surely have between 3 to 5 new cards. One of them looks like it will be Harpie’s Feather Duster, a Spell Card linked to Harpie that screams to be the Legend Card of the Deck.
– Royal Rebel’s: This is the Deck that desperately needs new cards and Reprints. Many of the good cards for Royal Rebel’s are in old packs and need Reprints. At the same time, Royal Rebel’s needs a new modern strategy to be playable: this requires the Deck to have between 5 up to 10 new cards in the pack. Being one of the covers of the package, it seems that it will have somewhat preferential treatment.
– Galactica: LIGHT Galaxy is a Deck that it might like to have some Reprints for strategy: like Galactiara Eve. However, I feel that they will give the Deck between 3 to 5 new cards that help make Lord of Galactica playable since I can’t think of new Monsters for Yudias that are not from the Anime (maybe Galactica Fusion Space?)
– Voidvelgr: DARK Galaxy needs some Reprints of important cards like Void Corridor, Voidvelgr Globule or Voidvelgr Kataphraktos. However, I think they’ll only have between 3 to 5 new cards: I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Backrow in general (in fact, you have to consider all those generic Trap Cards focused on DARK attribute that Phaser had in his Deck when he faced Yudias for second time)
And that would be the confirmed themes. I would say that Royal Rebel’s, Dark Magician and, perhaps, Harpie or Galactica are the ones that need the most new cards (Royal Rebel’s also needing several Reprints). Blue-Eyes is playable and competitive with just the SD content, Voidvelgr has the Darkness Galaxy pack as indirect support, and Celeb Rose has little Anime content to fill a good amount of space in the pack. And look, I’m not counting on them wanting to give us some Cyber Dragon or Excutie cards in this package (hinted at by recent Reprints)
