We all know, a game that features XYZ monsters is long overdue. Konami has been surprisingly lacking in this area of their money making business, not even Japan’s customary special treatment could give them anything other than Tag Force 6, and that only had a handful of XYZ Monsters, like Wind-ups without Tour Guide, and Evols without Dolka.
This week I bring up a short discussion on Archtypes and some of their benefits to duelists. The audio is not in-sync with my lips, try to avoid staring directly at them…if you can!
In my last article, I talked about the Ritual Djinn monsters and how their accessibility provides Gishkis lock-down and field control effects. This article will focus on HEROS, specifically the extra force they can bring to Gishkis.
The Djinn of Rituals monsters are an archetype whose main goal is to be used as material for ritual summons. They can all be utilized from the hand, the field, and even banished from the graveyard when used as ritual material. This allows them to be tributed at least twice, once from the hand or field, and once from the graveyard.
In this article, we’ll discuss the different ways in which Gishkis can use them. However, I will not be discussing the Level 1 Djinn Disserere of Rituals because it has extremely low playability with Evigishki Mind Augus and Evigishki Soul Ogre. Gishki Vanity would provide adequate protection, is searchable, recoverable, and can be used to summon Mind Augus effectively. So, without further ado…
Before you ask, Dino Rabbit won YCS Lima, congratulations to Hector Delgado. But, that’s not what I wanted to talk about. What I wanted to talk about was:
Bounty Hunters
During YCS Lima, 10 Duelists were given the designation as Bounty Hunters. They can be randomly selected or chosen (if they exhibit extraordinary Yugioh-ness). This designation enters them into a pretty cool system.
Each round, these special duelists get 4 packs added to their “Bounty Pile.” If they win their match, they will automatically be awarded 2 packs from that stash. But if they lose, their opponent will get EVERY PACK currently in their stash! SOO cool!
For the mentally indifferent, if you beat a Bounty Hunter on round 5, after they have gone 4-0, you will get 12 packs!
This is the first time I’ve seen a feature like this, let alone during a YCS. If it’s been done before, awesome! If not, it’s a great idea! All I’m saying is: more epic stuff like this.

“Next-Gen Dueling goes full speed ahead, with Generation Force Special Edition!
Here’s your second chance to get Generation Force’s heavy-hitting Xyz Monsters like Tiras, Keeper of Genesis, Adreus, Keeper of Armageddon, and Steelswarm Roach. Each Special Edition box comes with three booster packs of Generation Force PLUS one of two Super Rare variant cards: Elemental HERO Absolute Zero or Spore!
Elemental HERO Absolute Zero is one of the most popular HERO cards ever. You can Fusion Summon it using any HERO monster, and it starts off with a big 2500 Attack Points. But its best power is that whenever it leaves the field, it instantly destroys all of your opponent’s monsters! Absolute Zero works great with the new Vision HERO and Masked HERO monsters inGeneration Force. Use Mask Change to swap Absolute Zero for Masked HERO Vapor. This will destroy all your opponent’s monsters with Absolute Zero’s effect, and then Summon a new monster that can’t be destroyed!
Spore is one of the hottest cards around this season. Now you can get this incredible Tuner monster as a shiny, foil, Super Rare card! Most Tuners get used for just one Synchro Summon, but after you use Spore, you can bring it back at an even higher Level foranother Synchro Summon. Use Spore to make 2 mid-Level Synchro Summons back-to-back, or combine it with the first monster you Synchro Summon to bring out your most powerful monster! Since Spore can change its Level, you can use it to Summon all different Ranks of Xyz Monsters as well!
Special Edition boxes give you the latest and greatest booster packs, plus foil variants of popular and hard-to-find cards. You can get the best of all worlds, and go easy on your wallet!”
