New Powers in the Shockwave of the Shattered Rainbow Set

This set brings something awesome to the Duel Masters card game, creatures with more than one color! And, there's more than just that in Shockwaves of the Shattered Rainbow - here's what's new.

Multicolor - These creatures are from more than one Civilization, they count as both for Mana, go into your Mana Zone tapped and are really powerful!

Silent Skill - If these creatures start your turn tapped, you can leave 'em tapped to activate a power.

Attack Salad! - This isn't a new power, but there are a bunch of crazy veggie-monster cards in this set � vegetarians beware!

Theme Decks - There are two Theme Decks for this huge expansion set. Click the links below for our reviews.
Hard Silence - Darkness, Light and Water use Silent Skill and lots of blockers to own the zone!
Twin Swarm - Fire and Nature combine to unleash huge monsters and crush your opponent flat!

Duel Masters: Multicolored Butt-Kicking!

Multicolored cards sound cool, look great, and are really powerful! They enter your Mana Zone tapped, but they're also way stronger than most creatures. They even count as both colors when they're in your Mana Zone so they're a great way to add a splash of an extra Civilization to your decks. The Silent Skill power is a blast too, as long as you have blockers to protect the creatures that use it.

Is the Shockwave Full of Rainbow Colored Poo?

This Duel Masters expansion set doesn't have much in it that sucks. There are still a few cards that suck, and some repeats from earlier sets, but most of the cards are solid.

Shockwaves of the Shattered Rainbow Final Words

This set really kicks butt! The new multicolor cards are great for making dual-civilization decks, Silent Skill is a new power with some nice combos and the new Starter Deck and Theme Decks make it easy for new players to get dueling!
