Building the Battle Pack – Part 1

February 3rd, 2012

Stop! Before going any further, be sure to read here so you can find out all about battle packs!

(…did you read it? Okay, good!)

.

If you’ve ever tried sealed pack play with normal booster packs, you’ve probably encountered some problems. You might sit with a hand full of Tribute monsters you can’t play. Or you might have a hand full of weenies that get wrecked by your opponent’s nigh-undefeatable 1500 ATK “monstrosity”. Maybe you got a bunch of cards that require specific other cards to play, but you didn’t pull those other cards, so you can’t use anything. Maybe you don’t have any Spell or Trap removal – or maybe you have no effects that can destroy monsters.

All of these issues are easily dealt with in constructed play, where you have your own customized Deck assembled from the cards in your collection. But when you’re only playing with the cards from new packs, the game suddenly becomes very different.

Battle packs are designed to eliminate all of those problems, by carefully controlling which cards you will get from the packs you open. That way, you can experience all of the excitement and fun of sealed pack play, but without the problems that can arise when using normal packs. Each battle pack is engineered so that every one of its 5 card slots has a specific kind of card. It’s the first Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG pack ever made that’s designed specifically for sealed pack play.

Laggia or Dolkka?

January 31st, 2012

One of the biggest questions facing a Dino Rabbit Duelist comes up in nearly every Duel: Laggia or Dolkka?  The Dino Rabbit Deck is built around Rescue Rabbit: you can banish the Rabbit to Special Summon two Normal Monsters with the same name from your Deck.  Dino Rabbit Duelists play the Dinosaur-Type monsters Sabersaurus and Kabazauls, so they can use the monsters they get with Rabbit to Xyz Summon Evolzar Laggia or Evolzar Dolkka.
