Duel Masters TCG: Shadowclash of Blinding Night Set Review
Courtesy of Wizards of the CoastThe
Shadowclash of Blinding Night expansion set for the
Duel Masters Trading Card Game from Wizards of the Coast is here! It joins
Evo Crushinators of Doom and
Rampage of the Super Warriors expansions and gives you more
monster and spell cards, but it also has new civilization
team-up and
enemy cards. Here's our
review of these new cards.
Shadowclash of Blinding Night Big, Bad, Basics
This is the third expansion set for the
Duel Masters TCG from Wizards of the Coast. It's another 60-card set with five super-rare cards, five ultra-rare cards and 50 other cards. It also has a new trick - rather than powering-up
decks that are all one civilization, it powers up
decks that combine civilizations. Shadowclash of Blinding Night also has cards that stomp certain civilizations. Here's the list of who teams up well and who is out to squish who.

What makes the Shadowclash of Blinding Night set rock is that it lets you play a mix of civilizations and have a
powerful deck! Plus, the civilizations that should really hate each other (like Light and Darkness) have cards that really thump each other. The Demon Command and Angel Command cards also get a big boost with some powerful cards like
Photocide, Lord of the Wastes and
Aeris, Flight Elemental.
Shadowclash of Blinding Night Set Weaknesses
The biggest problem with this
Duel Masters card game expansion is that some cards like
Volcano Smog, Deceptive Shade, can wipe out one civilization easily, but suck against any other. Also, some other cards, like
Ballom, Master of Death, can win a game by themselves. Finally, the ultra-rare Light and Fire monsters are lame.
