I’m still waiting on the reveal for the offical release of Transam Diskarma Linac. I’m wondering if we’re getting a Ritual focused pack sometime after the Magician of Black Chaos deck is released.
Presumably Linac, Burst Oblivion, etc. will be available in Accel Road as the final GO RUSH anime holdovers, much like how Galaxy of Fate had the last cards from SEVENS.
It was kinda similar to Code of the Duelist having the Superme King Servant Dragons despite being a Vrains pack. I always thought that was a wired decision.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up printing OuTerverSe (the Deck) in a future Megaroad Pack 3 (like what happened with Darkness)
I say this because there is a need for a special Megaroad Pack for GO RUSH. SEVENS had its own when the Anime ended and that Pack also focused on printing Anime cards that came out in the last Episodes.
@Joshua Seed “I always thought that was a wired decision.”
It makes sense when looking at it from a certain perspective.
For one, the first Core Booster of a given show isn’t going to have a lot of content to pull from. It was even more noticeable in VRAINS’ case because VRAINS ended up having a very small, shallow Duelist pool. So using some of that space to print some of the most recent cards from the previous show was a good use of space.
For another thing, it also meant that we didn’t have to wait for an uncertain time and product to get the cards we got, which is what would have ended up happening had those cards not been printed when ARC-V was still as fresh as it was.
Planets are both accessories and food? Quite versatile, isn’t it?
Dark Paladin unfortunately suffered during the adaptation process, having very situational destruction immunity and only shuts down your opponent’s Legend Spells. He is also difficult to bring out for now.
The alts are really good. I love Manifestation (Summoning?) especially since it was originally given an anime slot in Transam of Transcendence and clearly designed for Yuna’s Deck, but she never used it because Doretheo was on it.
It seems that the Alternate Arts in this Pack, in addition to being given to Iconic or Representative Monsters of Rush Duels, will also be given to cards that were Staples or had an impact on the Rush Duels Meta. Just like OCG/TCG, some cards received Alternate Arts to better fit the Deck that uses those cards the most.
– Sevens Wonder Fusion had an impact by being one of the Fusion Spell Cards that revived an entire Deck: Dragoncaster Deck. It was one of the main drivers in the Sea Serpent Maximum vs Sevens Wonder Turbo Meta.
– The Secret of Manifestation is a Spell Card focused on LIGHT Spellcaster Decks. However, Celeb Rose is the one who uses the Spell Card in general: receiving an Alternate Art that reflects this.
– The Jest of Princess Cosmos is one of the most powerful Backrow removers in Rush Duels. A Staple that, even limited to one copy, is still used by almost all Decks in the Meta.
– Wicked Shadow Dark Lurker was a problematic Boss Monster for many years in Rush Duels. It was also one of the candidates to be limited as it encourages the creation of FTK or Loop Decks in Rush Duels.
– Traditional Tax is a very common Side Deck option to use in Rush Duels against certain matchups. One of the Decks that takes the most advantage of it is Shaman Bandit: exactly what the Alternate Art reflects.
Unlike HERO, you can revive Dark Paladin, since it doesn’t have Must be Fusion Summon. I was curious how it would change its effect. Kinda glad it didn’t go the Skysavior route, since one of the Fusion said your opponent cannot activate Spell Cards, except Fusion.
Any else notice in “The Secret of Manifestation” the class joke of smallest character checking out the chest of another character in jealousy and even a girl behind her laughing at the fact the shortest is jealous…….pwhahaha always love that joke
Hope the Alt Arts in thus cards hints the decks who will get new cards. I really love see Asport Pirate and Machvio having a fusion monster and the rest of the Celeb Roses having it’s owns fusion too.
I’m out of the loop, how do you summon this if the two materials are Legends?
Monsters that take on the names of Dark Magician and Buster Blader.
Of which there are a few.
Actually, there’s only 1: Dark Executor Warlock can change its name to Dark Magician. Legendary Swordsman – Buster Blader is only treated as the original Buster Blader while in the Graveyard, and currently there’s no card that can summon Dark Paladin using a monster in the Graveyard.
A shame they didn’t just make Dark Paladin at least unaffected by the opponent’s spell cards altogether, assuming Rush Duels allows for immune type cards. Feels bit too hard to bring out for what you get.
“this card cannot be destroyed by the effects of your opponent’s Spell Cards,”
Yay, I called it, well, except for the rest of the text surrounding it but I’ll take it.
Legend Spell Cards? But under the current ruling you can only use 1, what is with the extra s?
It’s just a catch all term.
I believe it also prevents the opponent from activating An Epic Tale of Recollected Memories because it’s treated as a Legend Spell in the Hand.
Now I think about it, how can you Summon Black Paladin given that both materials are legend cards and I think only one of the duo has an applicable replacement that can be used with current fusion cards.
dark paladin: “[…] also your opponent cannot activate Legend Spell Cards.”
legend series: are we a joke to you konami
The funny thing is that the Legend Series Deck only has Spell Cards that are Legend in Hand or GY.
The player can simply Set those Spell Cards and then activate them without fear of Negate.
