Last time, we took a look at the cool new Buster Blader cards in Breakers of Shadow, which give you cool ways to stop your opponent’s plans and use one of the coolest monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! history to do so! Today, we’ve got even more awesome cards to show you which make a return to Buster Blader’s original dragonslaying days of old! Read more…

Over the last couple of sets we’ve seen iconic monsters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series get a ton of powerful new support cards, and the trend continues in Breakers of Shadow! Next in line for a great new set of cards is Buster Blader, Yugi’s go-to monster to dealing with dragons monsters, and a key component for Fusion Summoning the mighty Dark Paladin. Buster Blader’s new support cranks his anti-Dragon nature up to 11, while also giving him new ways to deal with some other more modern strategies in the game.

Counter Traps are some of the most powerful cards in the game. They’re so good that roughly one in every five has an activation cost – they’d be too strong if you could activate them for free. Veteran Duelists might remember that once upon a time years ago, there was an entire Deck that revolved around Bountiful Artemis, a Level 4 Fairy-Type that draws you a card whenever a Counter Trap resolves.

But those activation costs can be pretty high, and Counter Traps are usually difficult to search – having the right answer at the right time can come down to the heart of the cards. Or at least it did in the past! Breakers of Shadow brings a powerful new monster that follows in the footsteps of Bountiful Artemis, working to make Counter Traps easier to search, and easier to play. Check out Guiding Ariadne.
