Crimson Crisis Sneak Peak

As many of you might know (doubtful), today was the Crimson Crisis pre-release event held at Mind Games in the City. Crimson Crisis is the third set of the OCG's 6th Series, and is designed to introduce players to the new cards in "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's".

The cover card for Crimson Crisis is Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode and the participation card for the pre-release was Colossal Fighter/Assault Mode.

The set introduces a few new archetypes such as Reactors, Blackwings, and /Assault Modes, along with more support for existing archetypes. Synchro Monsters gain more support and a few potentially deadly new friends, making them even more of a threat to the meta.

The set has 100 cards total:

* 1 Ghost Rare
* 10 Ultimate Rares
* 10 Ultra Rares
* 14 Super Rares
* 20 Rares
* 48 Commons

Stand out performances on the day were seen from Dupe Frog, Half Or Nothing and all the Blackwings we received in this set.

I, myself, managed to place a respectable second just behind the overzealous Hadar. From my winnings there were no notable pulls, I, in fact, only went along to this particular event in the hopes of scooping up a couple (three) copies Makiu, the Magical Mist. I can gladly say I left the even with zero copies of this card.

All in all it was a good welcome to the age of Crimson Crisis, but unfortunately it appears that we will have to wait for the next set before we see any major changes to the meta.
