April gives first-time Duelists an action-packed crash course in the world of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME with the introduction of the new 2012 Starter Deck: Xyz Symphony* on April 17th. Chock full of powerful, easy-to-use monsters, Spells, and Traps, this 45-card Deck is Konami’s largest Starter Deck in eight years. It also includes five Xyz Monsters, including Yuma’s signature monster from the newest animated series – Number 39: Utopia all for an MSRP of $9.99.
Exploding onto the scene in May are three product releases. First, releasing on May 8th is the mighty 100-card booster set Galactic Overlord, which is the spiritual successor to 2008’s best-selling Phantom Darkness, the set that took everyday monsters and corrupted them into powerful DARK versions of their former selves. In Galactic Overlord, some of the most popular monsters in Dueling are reborn as “Lightray” monsters. Also included is the next evolution of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, now deadlier than ever as Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Finally, an entire fleet of new high-Level Dragon monsters has arrived from ancient Egypt, with the power to Summon each other right out of the Deck! Galactic Overlord includes 9 cards per pack, for an MSRP of $3.99 per pack.
In 2011, the Yugi & Slifer Card Sleeves paired up Yugi with his first Egyptian God Card. Now for 2012, Duelists will be happy to be able to protect their treasured cards with another round of classic Egyptian Gods, with the Kaiba & Obelisk the Tormentor Card Sleeves. Available May 29th, at an MSRP of $3.99, these 50-card sleeves per pack make it an easy and affordable way to protect and show off cards.
Also releasing on May 29th is the first ever Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG product designed specifically for Sealed Pack play – Battle Pack: Epic Dawn*! Sealed Pack play is where Duelists buy new packs and play with the contents right out of the wrapper, rather than using cards from their existing collections. Sealed Pack games are a wild and wooly ride, where each player’s skills and abilities are tested to their limits. For an MSRP of $1.99 per pack, Battle Pack: Epic Dawn will be supported by brand new Sealed Pack tournament experiences, so Duelists will need to practice in advance with Battle Packs at home. Battle Packs also include brand new card technologies: each pack includes one glossy black or glossy white Rare Card, one special, shiny card (similar to those found from Duel Terminal machines), and three Common cards.
Players will be very content during the many hours of summer Dueling with a new Structure Deck release in late June which is designed specifically for the North American and European markets to give players a jumping-off point into a competitive, tournament-Level Deck. July’s introduction of another booster set, Hidden Arsenal 6: Omega Xyz will wow players with its set of all-foil cards. Hidden Arsenal 6 contains every kind of monster ever made, including Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters. |
