Konami recently released Structure Deck: The Crimson King for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Collectible card game. This is a popular based deck Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D character Jack Atlas using Resonators and Red Dragon Archfiend. There are about 9 brand new cards for the TCG and one of them is an unusable card. That unusable card is King of All with a picture of Jack Atlas with some children, an ATK of 3000, a DEF of 2500, and is labeled as a Human-type card. It’s a fun card and is also Ultra Rare, but it’s useless outside of collecting.
However, the box art card, Scarred Dragon Archfiend (which is unfairly a Super Rare in my opinion) is quite interesting although I don’t expect it to enter the meta anytime soon. However, he can bring back a Red Dragon Archfiend from the graveyard when it ends up in the graveyard, and this includes himself (provided he is properly Synchro Summoned first) since his name counts as a Red Dragon Archfiend when he is on the field or in the graveyard. Unfortunately, that’s about it. If you use it as material for a DARK Dragon Synchro Monster, you can use a Lightning Flock on your opponent, but I think that’s not likely to happen much.
Other new key cards include Soul Resonator and Vision Resonator which are low level FIend type tuners to help you get all these nifty Synchros tied to the Red Dragon Archfiend, and said Synchros. The really big ones (Red Searing Dragon Archfiend, Calamity King, and Red Supernova Dragon) will likely never see mainstream play due to the resources required. That said, I’ve never played competitively and I’m sure someone will try to prove me wrong. Red Supernova Dragon has potential as it has protection from effects and you can banish your opponent’s field without targeting, but it is a level 13 that requires 3 tuners and 1+ non-Tuner Synchro. It’s a four card minimum and I just don’t see it Yu-Gi-Oh! players care about this.
At the end of the day, the general public are the 5D fans. However, some more casual players might at least pick up three copies of The Crimson King for the Pot of Extravagance, even though it was already readily available in Structure Deck: Dawn Attack. Beyond that, Jeopardy! Nessie! and Danger! Chupacabra! could it have some push? What do you think about it The Crimson King? Was it a decent Structure Deck or a complete puff? What would you like to see Konami do for the new Structure Decks besides not forcing us to buy three copies to get the cards we want?
