Extra Deck Monsters Anyone Can Use!

March 10th, 2016

Premium Gold: Infinite Gold is packed with Synchro Monsters and Xyz Monsters that you can use to load up your Extra Deck. Here are just a few the monsters in Premium Gold: Infinite Gold that will take your Extra Deck to the next level!

WorthTheWaitInGold
Daigusto Emeral
was a popular card immediately upon its release in 2012, and has remained relevant in the competitive scene ever since. It’s a Rank 4 monster that can be Xyz Summoned by combining any 2 Level 4 monsters, making it usable in just about any Deck with Level 4 monsters in it.

Daigusto Emeral has 2 awesome effects. The first effect lets you detach an Xyz Material from it to shuffle 3 monsters from your Graveyard into your Deck and draw a card. This is useful for two reasons.

  • First, this effect lets you recycle your fallen Extra Deck monsters to use them again. Duelists are only allowed to include 15 cards in their Extra Decks. That makes sending some of them back with the effect of Daigusto Emeral particularly valuable. Returning Limited monsters, like Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning, to your Deck is also a strong play.
  • Second, you get an extra card to continue your combos for effectively no cost since all you’re doing is using cards you’ve already used!

Daigusto Emeral’s second effect lets you detach an Xyz Material to Special Summon one non-Effect Monster from your Graveyard. This effect hasn’t yet had a major impact on the competitive tournament scene, but in the right Deck, it can be even more powerful than the first effect. Daigusto Emeral’s resurrection effect lets you Special Summon all sorts of popular monsters, including Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Elemental HERO Neos.

Gagaga Cowboy
has been helping Duelists secure victories ever since its initial release in 2012. Like Daigusto Emeral, Gagaga Cowboy is a Rank 4 monster that can be Summoned by combining any 2 Level 4 monsters, and it has 2 effects.

Gagaga Cowboy’s first effect can be used by detaching an Xyz Material from it while it’s in Attack Position. This effect increases Gagaga Cowboy’s ATK by 1000 if it attacks a monster, and decreases the ATK of the attacked monster by 500. Since Gagaga Cowboy’s starting Attack Points are 1500, this effect lets it take down any monster with 3000 or less ATK.

But Gagaga Cowboy’s second effect is the one that really put it on the competitive map. This effect can be activated by detaching an Xyz Material from it while it’s in Defense Position. It inflicts 800 points of damage to the opponent.

Although 800 Life Points may not sound like a lot, this effect has devastated many Duelists. Any time a Duelist dropped down to 800 Life Points or below, Gagaga Cowboy would be able to finish him or her off, regardless of how powerful the monsters on his or her field were.

ChargeUp
Stardust Charge Warrior
is a brand new card, available in Premium Gold: Infinite Gold for the first time that can go in any Deck that likes free cards and tons of attacks!

Stardust Charge Warrior is a Level 6 Synchro Monster that can be Summoned by using 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuners as Synchro Material. Like Daigusto Emeral and Gagaga Cowboy, Stardust Charge Warrior has two effects.

First, Stardust Charge Warrior lets you draw a card when you Synchro Summon it. This gives you an immediate return on your investment of the two (or more) monsters you Tune together to Synchro Summon it.

Second, Stardust Charge Warrior can attack all Special Summoned monsters your opponent controls, once each. Duelists commonly swarm their fields with Pendulum Summoned monsters to protect their Life Points. Stardust Charge Warrior’s 2000 ATK and powerful effect allow it to wipe all of them out in a single Battle Phase!

Premium Gold: Infinite Gold contains lots of Synchro Monsters and Xyz Monsters that you can use to bolster your Extra Deck! You can get your hands on these new cards when Premium Gold: Infinite Gold officially releases on March 18th!
