Alright. Back to Pack Opener with me. Not really for any reason, I just feel like it.

And I think today I’ll be opening 10 packs of Legacy of the Valiant, then 10 of Primal Origin. And depending on the pulls I get, I might even fully complete Legacy of the Valiant today.

But let’s get straight into the Laval packs. I mean LVAL packs. I probably won’t get many new cards, but I might get 1 or 2.

Spoiler

LVAL 1

Xyz Avenger; Starship Spy Plane; Gravekeeper's Ambusher; Bujingi Swallow; Photon Chargeman; Kalantosa, Mystical Beast of the Forest; Release, Reverse, Burst; Overlay Sentinel; Ghostrick Dullahan

[collapse]

As said, not expecting much. I’ll comment if I find something new.

Spoiler

LVAL 2

Release, Reverse, Burst; Black Brachios; Luminous Dragon Ritual; Sirenorca; Gorgonic Cerberus; Majiosheldon; Alpacaribou, Mystical Beast of the Forest; Paladin of Photon Dragon; Evilswarm Exciton Knight

[collapse]

See, like that. Two new cards.

Paladin of Photon Dragon is nice. Well, kind of not, but at the same time, yes. I like the Dragon Paladin monsters. Sure it is just a ritual you can tribute for the bigger version, but that makes them nice. And Paladin of Photon Dragon does give you a draw if it destroys a monster by battle.

And Evilswarm Exciton Knight is useless. My opponent will never have more cards in hand than I do. And even if it counts it by the other means my cards sometimes use, which is mana amount, there likely will be no one with more mana than me.

Next pack.

Spoiler

LVAL 3

Gorgonic Gargoyle; Ghostrick Skeleton; Bujingi Swallow; Overlay Booster; Ghostrick Nekomusume; Tackle Crusader; Interplanetarypurplythorny Beast; Purge Ray; Bujingi Peacock

[collapse]

Spoiler

LVAL 4

Interplanetarypurplythorny Beast; Chronomaly Winged Sphinx; Chronomaly Moai Carrier; Purge Ray; Dark Artist; Sylvan Blessing; White Duston; Gorgonic Ghoul; ZW - Asura Strike

LVAL 5

Swordsman from a Distant Land; Gorgonic Golem; Dododo Buster; Gorgonic Guardian; Tackle Crusader; Ghostrick Museum; Mystic Macrocarpa Seed; Bujin Regalia - The Jewel; Paladin of Photon Dragon

[collapse]

Spoiler

LVAL 6

Deep-Space Cruiser IX; Dododo Buster; Chronomaly Winged Sphinx; Xyz Override; Ghostrick Yeti; White Duston; Xyz Shift; Xyz Avenger; Bujinunity

[collapse]

Spoiler

LVAL 7

Ghostrick Jackfrost; Black Brachios; Xyz Shift; Swordsman from a Distant Land; The Monarchs Awaken; Gorgonic Gargoyle; Dododo Buster; Ghostrick Dullahan; Bujintei Tsukuyomi

[collapse]

Bujintei Tsukuyomi is kind of disappointing. It is a draw 2, but you have to discard at least 1 card first. And the when destroyed effect is okay, but it still needs your opponent to destroy Tsukuyomi.

Next pack(s).

Spoiler

LVAL 8

Xyz Shift; Gorgonic Gargoyle; Majiosheldon; Starship Spy Plane; Xyz Override; Sylvan Blessing; Gorgonic Guardian; Mighty Warrior; Ghostrick Dullahan

LVAL 10

Deep-Space Cruiser IX; Tackle Crusader; Chronomaly Winged Sphinx; Ghostrick Mummy; Ghostrick Yeti; Gorgonic Guardian; Chronomaly Moai Carrier; Majiosheldon; Ghostrick-Go-Round

[collapse]

Well, that was the ten. And I said I’d get one or two new cards. But I got three.

----------------------------------------

Now, set change. To Primal Origin.

Spoiler

PRIO 1

Gimmick Puppet Des Troy; Artifact Aegis; Bujincident; Number 42: Galaxy Tomahawk; Blizzard Thunderbird; Jackpot 7; Heliosphere Dragon; Ghostrick Parade; Phonon Pulse Dragon

[collapse]

I’ll do the same as with the Valiant packs. So no comments unless I get new stuff.

Which means I’ll comment on Phonon Pulse Dragon. And it is fine-ish. It is a Synchro Tuner which can adjust its level. But honestly there are better Synchro Tuners.

Spoiler

PRIO 2

Diamond Core of Koa'ki Meiru; Blizzard Thunderbird; ZS - Vanish Sage; And the Band Played On; Ghostrick Parade; Galactic Charity; Jackpot 7; Last Counter; Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir

[collapse]

PRIO 5

[collapse]

Yes, I already got C107 from this set. Well the super rare version at least. Still missing the ultimate rare print. Not that the rarity matters when I use them. It only matters for collection reasons.

Spoiler

[collapse]

… well, that sucked. Outside of the Phonon Pulse Dragon I didn’t get anything else new.

So yes. Since my luck sucks, let’s once again remind Pack Opener that it can’t hold my luck against me. I have the power of unlimited tokens by my side.

Alright. 16 new cards from that. Including 1 Numeron Fall, but we’ll talk about that in a bit.

Ghostrick Mary is a hand trap that allows you to summon a Ghostrick monster from the deck. So it is good, but I feel like I already had that effect with something else. But I like the artwork of the girl stuck in the vanity mirror. Reminds me that I need to make mirrors that can trap people.

Gravekeeper's Nobleman is a battle floater for Gravekeepers.

Noble Knight Peredur isn’t all that great. It just grows by a level and becomes dark if it is equipped with a Noble Arms card.

Gravekeeper's Shaman is great. First, it protects Necrovalley and prevents other Field Spells from being activated. Second, it gains 200 defense for each Gravekeeper in the GY, and while defense isn’t as good as attack, it is still a good effect. And third, it prevents all monster effect activations in the GY, except Gravekeepers. Just a great monster all around.

Queen Angel of Roses is not all that great. Love the design, but the effect is bad. Because the weakest monster could be on your field. And while 2400 attack for a monster that requires 1 tribute is fine, there are way better options.

Chirubimé, Princess of Autumn Leaves is an attack redirector. And if it is destroyed, you get to special summon a plant from the GY.

Sylvan Hermitree is fine. The reveal, mill if plant, then draw 1 if you milled is nice. And the effect to stack your deck when sent to the GY is also good. Still not something I like.

Mobius the Mega Monarch is fine. The Spell/Trap destruction on summon is good for TCG use, but in the real world, not so much. Still, the Monarchs are great monsters for a multitude of things.

Powered Inzektron is literal power armor. I really want to try it out. I’ll probably try it out as soon as I’m done. Sure some of my other Machine-type monsters can be piloted like mechas, but come on. Sadly other than that it is nothing special.

Fairy Knight Ingunar is a mass return to hand card. And it cannot be responded to. Sadly that effect isn’t all that useful for me.

The First Monarch is an okay Trap monster. Sure it is just tribute fodder, but that is what Monarchs often need.

Mount Sylvania allows you to place a Sylvan to the top of your deck. Which does help the deck, but you have to discard a card to do that. And the reveal, mill if plant, place at bottom of deck if not, is just there because it is the ‘Sylvan’ effect.

Shared Ride is kind of like Maxx “C”. … except a ton worse. I mean it has its uses, but since you can’t activate it from the hand on your opponent’s turn, it really isn’t all that great.

Obedience Schooled is really good for some decks, allowing you to special summon 3 level 2 or lower Beasts. And admittedly I could also use that. But I already have the Baby Raccoons for that.

Onomatopaira searches for Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo and Dododo monsters.

And last, Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall. I already talked about how good Numeron Fall is for Xyz energy generation, but even outside of that, I can edit it a bit and make a card that can forcefully devolve monsters. Or just otherwise go back if I failed a Rank-Up with one of my tamed monsters. It really will open up the possibilities when it comes to that.

Spoiler

[collapse]

Now, let’s just get the last cards I’m missing from this set.

----------------------------------------

And I was only missing 7.

Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble Arms is a decent monster. She equips herself onto a Noble Knight, gives it 300 more attack and either protects it from card effect destruction, or allows it to destroy a monster without battle.

Bujingi Hare can banish itself to give protection to a Bujin.

Sylvan Flowerknight has some lovely armor. We should remake that. And on top of having the standard Sylvan effect, it allows you to stack your deck if you happen to hit with the Sylvan effect.

Downerd Magician should be helpful when it comes to alchemy. She looks to be skilled at it. As a monster, she is fine, but nothing that special.

Alsei, the Sylvan High Protector is fine. But for an archetype like Sylvan, I’d really have hoped for a bit more. This thing is a rank 8 Xyz. It isn’t the easiest to summon and honestly should just do more.

Skill Prisoner is really specific. And sure it is protection, but I have better cards that do the same.

And Imperial Tombs of Necrovalley is just a negate. If you control Necrovalley and a Gravekeeper. So yeah, it is nice, but a bit situational.

Spoiler

But that is another set completed. I have a mecha to play with.
