Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game: Cybedark Impact Set Review
Courtesy of Upper DeckThe new Cyberdark Impact set brings a bunch of aliens, dragons, machines and new combos to the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game! It's a 60-card set that does something crazy – it shuts down Special Summoning! That makes it way harder to summon huge monsters and totally messes with decks. It also has Zane's monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX TV show! Here's the 411 with Gary's set review.
Cyberdark Impact - Dragons, Aliens, Combos and Barriers
What's in this set? More
aliens, piles of
Cyber monsters, combos and more. Here's the 411 on the new
cardsin this set.
Senet Cards - Line these cards up with cards on your opponent's side of the field to activate special powers.
Chain Cards - React to your opponent's card with one of these, or use one of these in a chain of reactions, to activate their power.
Barrier Cards - These cards block Special Summons, which is the number one way to summon huge monsters, which totally messes up your opponent.
Cyberdark Cards - These Machine monsters attach Dragons from your Graveyard and combine the Attack/Defense from both cards!
Cyberdark Impact - Awesome Cards and Combos!
Cyberdark monsters,
Chain cards and
Senet cards all have cool powers and tons of
combo potential. But, what really kicks butt is the
Barrier cards. They shut down
Special Summons which are what let you summon
huge monsters out of nowhere, making the
Yu-Gi-Oh! card game so goofy. With them out of the way,
strategy and
deck-building skill becomes way more important, which is awesome!
Cyberdark Impact - Lame Creatures and Weak Combos
Cyberdark Impact tries to be awesome, but it's
too tricky to use the
cards! The
Cyberdark monsters are super-cool, but they only work with L3 or lower dragons and
really suck if you don't have a dragon in your Graveyard. The
chain cards are solid, but only if you really know your
rules and build a deck around 'em. Oh, and the new alien monsters are a waste of time.
Cyberdark Impact - Final Review
If you're a
Yu-Gi-Oh! pro, you can cause some serious damage with the cards in this set. But, new players will just get a
pain in the brain. The best part of this set is that it can shut down
Special Summons and turn your opponent's combos upside-down. If you have
mad skills, grab a heap of cards from this set. Otherwise stick to the
Structure Decks.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Cyberdark Impact Thumbs Up:
Shut down Special Summons
Chain cards = massive combos.
Cyberdark monsters + Dragons = Wheee!
Yu-Gi-Oh! Cyberdark Impact Thumbs Down:
Weak Alien monsters.
Hard to use the cards unless you have serious skills.
