In the last few years, Konami have been releasing Duel Terminal, OCG Exclusive and Extra Pack cards to the Online game in the form of event cards. This system's been changed on account of the Duel Terminal cards are being released as pack cards, which is fine by me
. What we have to look at, is the type of cards that will be released into the game, and flip it upside down.
Packlists of the Extra Packs released into the OCG are HERE, HERE and HERE. These packs are made up of previously TCG Exclusive Cards, and as far as I'm aware, all cards from the 1st Extra Pack are available online and were all event cards. I don't think any Extra Pack 2 cards are released yet, but either they'll be released as a separate pack (which I doubt) or event cards in the near future.
First off, we have more Lightsworn support. Now I'm not sure why we haven't had them released yet, they're releasing newer cards than these, so Konami are doing things in reverse order. Firstly, we have Charge of the Light Brigade, this card makes it unbelievably easy to make Lightsworn hybrids, the most famous being the Lightsworn/Zombie, that had good success with Mezuki at 2 and Charge at 3. The next best card is Ehren Lightsworn Monk, which is nigh on Godly. One downside is that it doesn't negate flip effects, but it can get rid of those pesky Spirit Reapers and Marshmallons. Aurkus Lightsworn Druid is a card not to be overlooked, it stops Caius, Raiza, Brain Control, etc. Overall, consider BW's a thing of the past if Charge is released without limitation.
Six Samurais. I remember how mad I got whenever I got played against Six Samurais in Gunslinger, on 4 stars and feeling confident, and then seeing that classic Six Samurai Irou, and almost shouting. I think I chewed through 4 pairs of headphones that season. Here we are with a very, very good support card coming out in the future. Hand of the Six Samurai. Hand of the Six Samurai gives the decktype an opportunity to speed up the process of mass beatdown by destroying any possible Floaters (Tomatoes, Giant Rats, etc.) This coupled with Gateway of the Six, which will more than likely be another event card, very far in the future means they're going to be a force to be reckoned with, again.
That's all for this issue, I can't really see about 5 other Archtypes fitting into a digestible post, so until next time, thanks for reading, and comments are welcome ![]()
