Yu-Gi-Oh Chaos Impact – What You Should Know

Did someone put a World’s prize card in this set on accident? Hello Pojo Readers, Crunch$G here to break down the latest core booster set to the Yu-Gi-Oh game, Chaos Impact. This set is full of support for anime archetypes like Rokkets, Marincess, and Salamangreats alongside having legacy support for archetypes like Gladiator Beasts, Aromas, and Tachyon Galaxy as well as having a new archetype in the Unchained, the continuation of the Dream Mirror archetype that is exclusive to the TCG, and many other single pieces of support cards for certain decks and even some new generic cards to throw into nearly any deck you can think of. Last, but most certainly not least, we got the first Link-5 Monster that is legal for tournament play in this set. Now with all the introductory stuff out of the way, let’s get into the specifics of this set.

Prismatic Secret Rare Cards

Just like with Rising Rampage, the new rarity has returned for this set and since Konami has officially called it Prismatic Secret Rare on their Database, I’ll call it Prismatic Secret Rare as well.. For those that don’t know the Prismatic Secret Rarity is given to one Rare, one Super Rare, one Ultra Rare, and one Secret Rare in each set and they’re only in the 1st Edition versions of the sets. As for ratios, they aren’t guaranteed in a case, so that should tell you how hard they are to get. The Rare in this set given the treatment of this rarity is Unchained Twins – Aruha. The Super Rare of the set in this rarity is Gorgon, Empress of the Evil Eyed. The Ultra Rare is I:P Masquerena. Finally, for the Secret Rare we have Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix.

Riding the Marincess Wave

The first archetype to discuss is the new Marincess support. Now we’ve seen three of the cards in this set for Marincess in the Rising Rampage: Special Edition, but I’ll still talk about those three here. First off though is Marincess Mandarin, a Level 1 that can Special Summon itself from the hand or graveyard to a zone a WATER Link points to if you control two or more Marincess monsters, but Mandarin is banished when it leaves the field if summoned this way. Marincess Crown Tail is a Level 5 that when two monsters are battling, then during Damage Calculation you can send another Marincess card from the hand to the graveyard to Special Summon this card from the hand and then half the damage you would of taken from that battle, plus when an opponent’s monster attacks and Crown Tail is in the graveyard, you can banish it to prevent yourself from taking damage that is less than or equal to the total Link Ratings of the Marincess Links in your graveyard times 1000. Marincess Blue Tang is a Level 4 that sends a Marincess monster from the deck to the graveyard upon Normal or Special Summon and can excavate the top three cards of your deck and add a Marincess card upon them to your hand when used as Link Material for a WATER monster. Marincess Crystal Heart is a Link-2 of any two WATER monsters, has bottom diagonal arrows, is unaffected by opponent’s monster effects while in the Extra Monster Zone, makes any monster of the opponent’s it is battling unaffected by effects that isn’t its own effect, and if this card or a Marincess it points to is targeted for an attack you can send a Marincess monster from your hand to the graveyard to prevent yourself from taking damage from that battle and preventing the monster from being destroyed in battle. Marincess Wonder Heart is a Link-4 of any 2+ WATER monsters, has bottom diagonal and side arrows, once per turn during damage calc if it is batting an opponent’s monster then you can Special Summon a Marincess monster equipped to this card and have Wonder Heart not be able to be destroyed in battle and not have you take any damage from said battle, but at the end of the turn the monster summoned by this effect is reequipped to Wonder Heart, also if the opponent destroys Wonder Heart then you can revive a Link-3 or lower Marincess monster from the graveyard. Marincess Sea Angel is a Link-1 of any Level 4 or lower Marincess, has a left arrow, and searches for a Marincess Spell upon Link Summon. Marincess Battle Ocean is a Field Spell that gives Marincess monsters 200 ATK as well as another 600 ATK for each Marincess monster equipped to it, has monsters in the Extra Monster Zone that used Marincess Crystal Heart as Link Material for its Link Summon be unaffected by opponent’s card effects, and when you Link Summon a Marincess to the Extra Monster Zone you can equip three Marincess Links with different names from the graveyard to this card. Marincess Snow is a Normal Trap that Special Summons (and treats it as a Link Summon) a Marincess Link with a Link Rating lower than a Marincess Link that was just destroyed by battle or effect and has the summoned monster be unaffected by opponent’s card effects while you control it. Finally, Marincess Cascade is a Normal Trap that banishes any number of Marincess Links in your graveyard to boost a monster by the total Link Ratings of the Links times 300 and this card can be activated from the hand if you control a Link-3 or higher Marincess monster.

Unchained Anger

The next archetype is the new Unchained archetype, which is focused on using the opponent’s monsters for Link Summons and destroying your own cards for effects. Unchained Twins –  Aruha is a Level 3 FIRE Fiend that can target a card on the field and destroy it to Special Summon itself from the hand, but locks your Special Summons to Fiends after you use that effect, and if destroyed (except by the effect of Aruha) can summon a different Unchained monster from the hand or deck. Unchained Twins – Rakea is a Level 3 WATER Fiend that can once per turn as a Quick Effect destroy any card you control, but locks your Special Summons to Fiends after using this effect, and if destroyed (except by the effect of Rakea) can summon a different Unchained monster from the hand or deck. Unchained Soul of Disaster is a Level 8 DARK Fiend that gains 300 ATK for each Unchained card in your graveyard, can target a monster the opponent controls and use said monster and itself as material for a Link Summon of a DARK Link, and if destroyed can revive any other Unchained monster. Unchained Soul of Rage is a Link-2 DARK Fiend of any two monsters including an Unchained Soul monster, has Up and Down arrows, during the opponent’s turn can target a Special Summoned monster they control and use that monster and this card for Link Material to Link Summon a DARK Link, and can add a different Fiend from your graveyard to your hand if destroyed. Unchained Soul of Anguish is a Link-3 of any 2+ monsters including an Unchained Soul monster, has Up and bottom diagonal arrows, and can target a monster the opponent controls and Link Summon a DARK Link using this card and the targeted monster as Link Material, and it also grabs back a Fiend from the graveyard to your hand when destroyed. Unchained Abomination is a Link-4 DARK Fiend of any 2+ monsters including a Link Monster, has Up and all three bottom arrows, if a card on the field is destroyed by a card effect that isn’t Unchained Abomination then you can target and destroy a card on the field, when a monster is destroyed by battle then you can target and destroy a card on the field, and during the End Phase of the turn you can target and destroy a card on the field. Abomination’s Prison is a Normal Spell that searches for any Unchained card and if it is set and destroyed, you can summon any Unchained monster from the deck. Wailing of the Unchained Souls is a Continuous Spell that targets and destroys a card on the field if you Link Summon an Unchained monster and if it is set and destroyed, you can summon any Unchained monster from the deck. Escape of the Unchained is a Normal Trap that targets an Unchained you control and a card the opponent controls and destroys them and if it is set and destroyed, you can summon any Unchained monster from the deck. Finally, Abominable Chamber of the Unchained is a Normal Trap that revives any Unchained monster or summons it from the hand and if it is set and destroyed, you can summon any Unchained monster from your deck.

One of the archetypes to get legacy support in this set is the Gladiator Beast archetype with several new cards. Gladiator Beast Sagittarii is a Level 3 WIND Winged Beast that lets you discard a Gladiator Beast card to draw two cards if summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast monster and at the end of the Battle Phase which it battled can return to the deck to summon a different Gladiator Beast from the deck.

Gladiator Beast Vespasius is a Level 7 WATER Sea Serpent that can Special Summon itself from the hand when a Gladiator Beast monster you control battles a monster, gives every monster you control a 500 ATK boost if summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast monster and at the end of the Battle Phase which it battled can return to the deck to summon a different Gladiator Beast from the deck. Gladiator Beast Domintianus is a Level 10 DARK Sea Serpent Fusion of Gladiator Beast Vespasius and two other Gladiator Beasts, must first be summoned from the Extra Deck by shuffling the Fusion Materials from the field into the deck, lets you negate an opponent’s monster effect and destroys it once per turn as a Quick Effect, lets you choose the attack target of your opponent’s attacks, and at the end of the Battle Phase which it battled can return to the Extra Deck to summon a Gladiator Beast from the deck.

Gladiator Beast’s Comeback is a Normal Spell that summons a Gladiator Beast from your hand or graveyard with a different Type from monsters you control and has the summoned monster be unable to be destroyed by battle. Gladiator Beast United is a Quick-Play Spell that during the Battle Phase lets you shuffle the Fusion Materials listed on a Gladiator Beast Fusion from your hand, field, and/or graveyard to summon the Fusion from the Extra Deck, ignoring the summoning conditions, but prevents you from attacking with non-Gladiator Beasts during that turn.

Finally, Gladiator Naumachia is a Continuous Trap that forces your opponent to attack if able while you control a Gladiator Beast monster, can shuffle a Gladiator Beast from the hand or graveyard into the Main Deck to boost the ATK of a Gladiator Beast by the DEF of the other Gladiator Beast shuffled into the deck, and if destroyed will give your Gladiator Beasts immunity from being destroyed by battle that turn. 

Reentering the Tachyon Galaxy

Next up is a bunch of cards that go well with the Tachyon Galaxy theme from the ZEXAL era. Starliege Seyfert is a Level 4 LIGHT Dragon that can send Dragons from the hand and/or field to the graveyard to search for a Dragon with a Level equal to the Levels of the sent monsters and it can banish itself from the graveyard to add a Level 8 LIGHT or DARK Dragon from your graveyard to your hand.

A Different Side of the Dream Mirror

The final archetype that got a bunch of support is the Dream Mirror archetype that’s exclusive to the TCG. Phantasos, the Dream Mirror Friend is a Level 4 LIGHT Beast-Warrior that revives a Level 8 or lower Dream Mirror monster if summoned by the effect of a Dream Mirror monster and can tribute itself while there is a Dream Mirror of Terror on the field to summon a Phantasos, the Dream Mirror Foe from the deck.

New Archetype Support

Now for the little pieces of support that help out several different archetypes. First for the two Dinowrestler monsters. Dinowrestler Martial Ampelo is a Level 1 that can be sent from the hand to the graveyard when a Dinowrestler you control battles a monster with more ATK to prevent your monster from being destroyed in that battle and halves the damage you would of taken, plus you can banish it from the graveyard to search for any Dinowrestler monster when the opponent declares an attack. Dinowrestler Valeonyx is a Level 3 that can be Special Summoned from the hand if only your opponent controls a monster and while on the field has the Link-3 or higher Dinowrestlers that you control be unaffected by the effects of your opponent’s Link-3 or lower monsters. After that, we now have three new pieces of Tenyi support. Tenyi Dragon – Ashuna is a Level 7 LIGHT that can be Special Summoned from the hand if you don’t control an Effect Monster and can be banished from the hand and/or graveyard to summon a Tenyi from the deck and locks your Special Summons for the rest of the turn to Wyrms if you control a non-Effect Monster. Draco Berserker of the Tenyi is a Level 8 DARK Synchro of any Tuner and any non-Tuners, can banish a monster when your opponent activates its effect, and if it destroys an Effect Monster in battle it can gain that monster’s ATK and let it make a second attack on a monster during that Battle Phase. Finally for Tenyi we got Draco Masters of the Tenyi, a Link-3 LIGHT that needs any 2+ monsters including a Link, has three downward arrows, cannot be destroyed by battle with Effect Monsters, and if you control no other Effect monsters you can destroy Effect Monsters your opponent controls up to the number of Effect Monsters you control and/or in your graveyard.

Infinitracks get a few pieces of support starting with Infinitrack Brutal Dozer, a Level 5 EARTH Machine that can be Special Summoned from the hand in Defense Position by tributing an EARTH Machine and if Special Summoned from the hand can summon any Infinitrack from the deck with its effects negated and it’ll lock your Special Summons for the rest of the turn to EARTH Machines. Crusher Run is a Continuous Trap that can destroy a card on the field if an EARTH Machine is destroyed and it can be banished from the graveyard to set an Outrigger Expansion or a Spin Turn from your deck or graveyard. Firewall Dragon Darkfluid is the first Link-5 monster legal for tournament play, needs 3+ Effect monsters to summon, has an Up, Side, and Bottom Diagonal arrows, gains a counter upon Link Summon for each different type of Cyberse monster in your graveyard (Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz), gains 2500 ATK per counter during the Battle Phase only, and can remove a counter from itself to negate a monster’s effect and if this effect was activated between this card declaring an attack and Damage Calculation, it can make another attack in a row. Salamangreat gets three new pieces of support, starting with the Link-4 Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix, which needs 2+ FIRE Effect monsters, has arrows similar to Firewall Dragon’s, destroys all cards the opponent controls if Link Summoned using Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix, can revive a Link Monster from the opponent’s graveyard to their field, and burns the opponent for the ATK of a Link Monster that is revived to their field.

In Conclusion

This is a fairly good set overall. There’s several good generic cards in here that many decks can take advantage of, even if said cards are already a part of different archetypes like Draco Berserker of the Tenyi, Unchained Abomination, and Striker Dragon. You also got some solid Salamangreat support in here, good cards for the Dragon Link deck, and some archetypal support that could make other decks potential rogue contenders. I can see Gladiator Beasts doing a little well in this meta, though likely not a top tier deck still, I can see a little success here and there. I:P Masquerena is one of the best cards of this set to summon something like Knightmare Unicorn on the opponent’s turn. Overall, I like the archetype support and the generic cards in here, it’s an upgrade from Rising Rampage.
