Get ready all of our Yu-Gi-Oh! duelists and/or trading card collectors. This Friday, the 17, new product will be hitting the shelves! Are you ready for the newest booster packs and accessories?
First from Konami we get the Legendary Duelists Magical Hero booster packs. This set features Yugi’s Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. For the first time ever the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl will be able to fight together as a single Fusion Monster – Dark Magicians! One new card you will possibly pull from a booster pack is Magicians’ Souls, a new effect monster that guarantees you to summon either the Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl when you need them.
The total cards in this Legendary Duelist Magical Hero booster set is 56 to include: 29 Commons; 10 Rares; 8 Super Rares; and 9 Ultra Rares.
But that’s not all that will be hitting stores this Friday. There is also the Ash Blossom Accessories! These are coming to you earlier than expected. The release date was originally February 14, but Konami wanted to give everyone a surprise, so they moved up the release date to this Friday! Accessories that will be available will be: a Gaming Mat; Card Sleeves; a Card Case; and a Duelist Portfolio. For images of the accessories and other products you can check them out here: https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/accessories.html
That’s a lot, but I know our Yu-Gi-Oh! listeners will be excited that all of this is hitting their store shelves this Friday. Many thanks to Hill & Knowlton Strategies for the heads up so we can pass it along to you.
In this episode Hill and Knowlton Strategies with Konami supply a Gold Sarcophagus Tin for ComicPop. However, ComicPop has two Gold Sarcophagus Tins to open, because Logan wanted to purchase another Tin as well to review and discuss. Join us as we do a parallel opening of Konami’s 2019 Yu-Gi-Oh! Gold Sarcophagus Mega Tin.

The last card is Performapal Kuribohble, a Kuriboh from Arc-V. This one can summon itself from your hand to take what would have been a direct attack, and instead of taking damage from that battle you heal that amount instead. This one shields from one attack and usually heals you, which can be useful if you have effects that cost life points like Kuriphoton, or effects that activate on life gain like the Aroma archetype. If you use your lifepoints for your effects then this is the Kuriboh for you.
The twenty-third card is what the twenty-first and second cards summon, Winged Kuriboh LV10. This card can only be summoned by Transcendent Wings, and you tribute it during your opponents battle phase to destroy all their monsters and do their combined ATK as damage. This card is great so long as your opponent’s monsters don’t have anything shielding them from destruction effects. While this card is level ten it is entirely made for its effect, its actual stats are the same as most Kuriboh, 300 ATK and 200 DEF. It’s a damaging Raigeki that needs a bit of set-up to use, and a lot of the time that damage will be in the multiple thousands range, if you have the room this is a great ability to have.
The twenty-second card is the card that allows you to summon Winged Kuriboh LV10. To use Transcendent Wings you need a Winged Kuriboh on the field and two cards in your hand. By sending all three of those cards to the graveyard you can summon Winged Kuriboh LV10 from your deck or hand. Given Winged Kuriboh LV10s effect of destroying all your opponents monsters and dealing their ATK in damage, this is a pretty good card. If you have Winged Kuriboh you could probably put these in your deck as well.
The twenty-first card is Winged Kuriboh, from Yu-Gi-Oh GX. This one only has one effect, if it gets destroyed and sent to the graveyard then you take no battle damage for the rest of the turn. This works best if you can make your opponent hit Winged Kuriboh first, or if you destroy it via card effect during your opponents turn. Using it with things like Two Pronged Attack or Generation Shift would work wonderfully. Other than its effect this card also has the ability to be used to summon Winged Kuriboh LV10, which can then be used to destroy all your opponents monsters and deal their ATK as damage. It can stall for a turn, or be used in a combo to wipe out your opponents monsters and deal a good amount of damage to them, if you have room it seems like a pretty good addition to a deck.
The twentieth card is The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh, which let’s you choose a Kuriboh or Winged Kuriboh from your deck and put it in your hand or field. Winged Kuriboh is the one most likely to be special summoned by this, since its effect activates whenever it is destroyed on the field, but if you have Multiply and/or Detonate in your hand as well this is a card that can get Kuriboh onto the field for that combo. If you have Transcendent Wings you can get Winged Kuriboh LV10 with its help as well. This card is actually really good support for those two cards. If you can use it then it seems like it would generally be a good idea to have it.
The nineteenth card is Kuribandit, a Kuriboh from the original series with higher stats than most Kuribohs at three stars 1000 ATK and 700 DEF. It also, if normal summoned, lets you tribute it at the end of turn to chose one spell/trap card from the top five cards of your deck to add to your hand then the rest are sent to the graveyard. This can combo with cards like Aromage Laurel and Absolute King Back Jack that activate effects when sent to the graveyard, or cards that activate from the graveyard like Peropero Cerperus and Spell Recycler. This card seems to be useful if you use a lot of those effects, or if you can reliably get things back from the graveyard.
The eighteenth card is One for One, a card that lets you discard a monster to special summon a level one monster from your deck or hand. There are various cards that this can combo well with, the Black and White Stones of Legend, for example, in fact a number of archetypes have level one support that need to be on the field for a time. There are also cards like Copycat and Flamvell Guard that can be summoned with this and can have a good amount of attack and defense. You can also use this card to help set up for things like Law of the Normal and Triangle Power. It is a summon that can search the deck for you, and can be useful in some of the archetypes and level one monsters have some support of their own as well so a pretty good card.
