V opened... 2 x Legendary Collection 3

You're reading it right. I just opened 2 boxes of Legendary Collection 3. No video (hard to do when you're alone and you have no place to put the camera to film it).

So I hear you all saying: pics or it didn't happen... Sooooo... Here are pics:

A few words...

At a certain point, I did miss the camera filming this, because of the great pulls I got (for once) and the epic background music (Muse's the 2nd Law).

Book of Moon twice, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential, Black Horn, Kycoo, Necrovalley, they just kept coming, pack after pack...

The only yank foil I got was Megasonic Eye. That's a good thing, considering the amount of Vanilla Foils in the set.

So, that's what I got. You can always let me know what you got.

Until next time, V out.

The revelations so far of Legendary Collection

Some people in Europe got their hands on Legendary Collection 3 already. i'm going to get mine tomorrow (at least if the shopkeeper keeps his word :-P).

So far, the news I'm seeing from random pics & Pojo is mixed. Some cards+rarity are great, other cards give me a "WHY THE HELL" feeling. Let's give some examples:

• Kycoo the Gost Destroyer is secret rare (yay)
• Machina Soldier is secret rare (wut?)
• BLS-EOTB has problem solving card text (yay) and is secret rare (yay?)
• Commander Covington is Secret rare (seriously, what?)
• Foil staple spells & traps, like Dark Hole, Card Destruction, Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force,...)
• Random foil spell or trap (Exchange, Horn of Heaven, Swords of Concealing Light, Double Spell,...)
• Breaker Ultra Rare (yay)
• Vanilla Ultra Rares. I've heard people were looking forward to an Ultra Silver Fang & a reprint of the most expensive vanilla ever (Kanan the Swordsmistress), but the amount of Ultra vanilla's is way too high in my opinion.
• Common and PSCT LV monsters, like Horus, Silent Magician and Armed Dragon (yay)
• Common reprints of Dark Grepher, Solemn warning, Gold Sarcophagus, Soul Taker,...)
• Reprints of cards nobody cares about and have nothing to do with the original series (seriously, Earth Chant? Goblin Fan? Stray lambs?)

All in all, I see very good things, mixed with several crap cards, like the previous Legendary Collection.

So, on the end of thursday (or friday morning, I dunno yet), I'll give you an update of what I got

Until then, V out.

"Hey! Now my text is easier to get!
Now if only this new card was easy to get..."

Edit: I made screenshots of what's been revealed so far. (screens are taken from the Yu-Gi-Oh memes page on facebook, I did not make the list).

The Seal of Orichalcos - The Full effect

If you're following the Konamy Strategy blog, you might have picked up a few lines of the effect of the Seal of Orichalcos. for those that didn't, check this blog out.

Thanks to a few people online (both on TCGPlayer & Pojo), the effect has been fully 'revealed'.

Now there IS an effect!

The effect

The effect goes as follows:

• All monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
• Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects.
• While you control 2 or more face-up attack position monsters, your opponent cannot target your monster(s) with the lowest ATK for an attack.
• When this card is activated: destroy all Special Summoned monsters you control.
• You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.
• You can only activate "The Seal of Orichalcos" once per duel.

Good or bad?

Well, Konami made sure this card wouldn't make all other field spells useless and wouldn't be abused as hell. But in return, this card has become useless in most decks that are used nowadays. Destroying special summoned monsters? Not being able to summon from the extra deck? Those are huge draw-backs for most decks nowadays.

But there are a few decks that might profit from this card.

• Frog Monarchs: What's more dangerous than 2400 attack monarchs? 2900 attack monarchs! Monarchs's only special summon treeborn Frog. And even if the frog is blocked by this spell, the fact that your opponent cannot attack monsters with lower attack is a good blocker and helps build up your defenses/tributes.
• Malefic Style decks. Malefics remove cards from the extra deck, but don't special summon them. And they require a field spell to stay alive. Having a field spell that cannot be destroyed (once per turn) is a powerful asset. Having lower attack monsters that cannot attack, yet cannot be attacked are great assets as well.
• Eartbound Immortals: You remember those big level 10 monsters from the 5D's era? Powerful cards, but with a big drawback as they required two tributes and needed a field spell to stay alive. With this card, they might make a come-back (though they might require a little more than just this card).

I'm sure more original decks will pop up in the future that might find a use for this card, but for now that's all I could think of.

Well, I'll try to post up some more test results near the end of the week. Until then, V out.
