The fall main booster set for Yu-Gi-Oh, Soul Fusion, is here. With it comes many new cards to help enhance your current deck. Or, if you are looking for something new, Soul Fusion brings along new a new archetype.
Here are five cards you should be looking for when cracking packs.
Top 5 Yu-Gi-Oh: Soul Fusion Cards
5. Dinowrestler Pankratops
Dinowrestler Pankratops is a combination of Cyber Dragon, Archfiend Eccentrick, and Exiled Force. If your opponent controls more monsters than you, Pankratops special summons itself to the field for free, giving you a 2600 ATK monster. Furthermore, you can tribute him off to destroy any one card your opponent controls.
These abilities make Pankratops an extremely versatile card that can find its way into many side decks. This card would be higher up on the list, however it is a common so it will be highly accessible to every duelist. But don’t let the common status make you overlook this amazing card.
4. Danger!? Tsuchinoko?
Soul Fusion has a new Danger!? Archetype card. Tsuchinoko has the same effect as other Danger monsters, allowing you to reveal itself and force your opponent to discard a random card from your hand.
If Tsuchinoko is discarded, you can special summon him and draw a card. If a different card is discarded, you can special summon Tsuchinoko anyway.
The main appeal for this card is the fact that it is a dark level 3 monster, which provides you an outlet to go into Rank 3 XYZ monsters. This card could find its way into many Rank 3 toolbox decks including the still successful Burning Abyss Deck.
3. Trap Trick
Trap Trick provides support to decks that revolve around normal trap cards. It lets the player banish a normal trap out of their deck then set a card with the same name and allows them to activate it that turn.
This is essentially the closest thing Trap cards have gotten to a generic searcher. It provides a much-needed support to one of the main card types in Yu-Gi-Oh that has been seeing less play as the game has sped up over the years.
2. Chaos Dragon Levianeer
Chaos Dragon Levianeer is a monster similar to the Chaos monsters of old. Levianeer provides an easy way to special summon 3000 attack body. It also gives the controller a specific effect based off the monsters you banish to summon him.
If you banish only light monsters, you can special summon one monster from your graveyard. If you use only dark monsters, you can shuffle a random card back into your opponent’s deck. And if you use both light and dark, you can destroy up to two cards on the field.
Levianeer is another great boss monster with a fairly easy summoning condition that provides an instant advantage no matter what conditions you summon him under. Be sure to hold on to him if you manage to pull him.
1. Thunder Dragon Colossus and the Entire Thunder Dragon Archetype
Thunder Dragon was a monster released way back in the second set of Yu-Gi-Oh in 2002. Now, Soul Fusion is bringing that monster and an entire archetype complete with two boss monsters and modern-day effects to make it a competitive deck.
The main boss monster of the deck is Thunder Dragon Colossus who can be special summoned by tributing a thunder effect monster. While he is on the field, Thunder Dragon Colossus has a continuous effect that prevents your opponent from adding cards from their deck to hand. On top of that, he is able to protect himself from battle or card effect destruction.
The rest of the archetype revolves around bringing out Colossus quickly and efficiently, and recycling your resources. This is the top archetype to look out for in this set, and expect to see many key parts to fetch medium to high price tags.
