YOU GET SUPPORT! YOU GET SUPPORT! EVERYONE GETS SUPPORT… well not everyone exactly. Hello Pojo Readers, Crunch$G here to tell you everything you should know about the latest Yu-Gi-Oh core set: Phantom Rage. This set features the return of the Raidraptor and Phantom Knights archetypes now being combined together to create a new, more powerful version of Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Outside that we got a few new archetypes of varying playstyles and support for a bunch of different Decks, even some you wouldn’t expect. I mean, there’s a Synchro for Penguins of all things in this set. It’s an overall fun one, so I can’t wait to get into it.
Starlight Rares
First up, let’s get the shiny cards out of the way and discuss the five Starlight Rares. The one they inserted into this set goes along well with the fact we just got the Charmer Structure Deck, as they finally gave a Starlight Rare to Hiita the Fire Charmer, Ablaze to help players finally complete the set of Charmer Links in Starlight until they opt to print a DARK and LIGHT version. As for the main set, they actually gave Starlight Rares to 3 of the Secret Rares and only 1 of the Ultras as overall we have Starlight Rare versions of The Phantom Knights of Torn Scales, Alpha, the Master of Beasts, Dvine Arsenal AA-ZEUS – Sky Thunder, and Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom. Overall it seems this time around they tried to give Starlight Rares to the best cards in the set and I’d say they succeeded here.
Raiders Unite
As mentioned, this set is focused on the combining of Phantom Knights and Raidraptors to help both different strategies and to even try a combination of the two. Raider’s Wing is a Level 4 DARK Winged-Beast that’s always treated as a Raidraptor and The Phantom Knights card, can be Special Summoned from the hand or graveyard by detaching an Xyz Material from a DARK Xyz at the cost of this being banished when it leaves the field, and being used as material for a DARK Xyz Monster gives the Xyz Monster the effect to be immune from targeting from the opponent’s card effects. The Phantom Knights of Stained Greaves is a Level 3 DARK Warrior that can be Special Summoned from the hand 
and with the option for a Level increase by 1 if you Special Summon a Phantom Knights Monster, and it can be banished from the graveyard to Special Summon a Phantom Knights Monster from your hand and give you the option to increase its Level by 1 as well. The Phantom Knights of Torn Scales is another Level 3 DARK Warrior that can let you discard a card to send a Phantom Knights card from the Deck to the graveyard and can be Special Summoned from the graveyard if you banish a Phantom Knights Monster from your graveyard at the cost of this being banished when it leaves the field. Raidraptor – 
Heel Eagle is a Level 3 DARK Winged Beast that can be Special Summoned from hand if all Monsters you control are Raidraptor Monsters (min. 1) and it can be banished from the graveyard to add a Raidraptor Spell/Trap from your graveyard to your hand. Raidraptor – Strangle Lanius is a Level 4 DARK Winged Beast who can be Special Summoned from the hand if you control a DARK Monster at the cost of preventing you from Special Summoning non-DARK monsters for the rest of the turn and if you control a Xyz Monster with a DARK Xyz Monster as material, then this card can let you revive a Level 4 or lower Raidraptor from the 
graveyard with its effects negated. Raider’s Knight is a Rank 4 DARK Warrior Xyz that’s always treated as a The Phantom Knights and Raidraptor card, needs 2 Level 4 DARKs to summon, and can detach a material from itself to Special Summon a Xyz Monster that is a The Phantom Knights, Raidraptor, or Xyz Dragon from the Extra Deck that’s 1 Rank higher or lower than this card by using this card and it’s Xyz Materials as material, but the summoned Monster is destroyed during the opponent’s next End Phase. Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon is a Rank 5 DARK Dragon Xyz that needs 3 Level 5s to summon, can’t be 
destroyed by card effects if it was Xyz Summoned, and can detach a material from itself to gain ATK equal to the original ATK of all face-up Monsters on the field and then if it has a DARK Xyz Monster as material it will negate the effects of all other face-up Monsters on the field, all at the cost of this Monster being the only one allowed to attack that turn. Phantom Knights’ Rank-Up-Magic Force is a Quick-Play Spell that can let banish DARK Monsters from the graveyard to target a DARK Xyz you control and Xyz Summon another DARK Xyz that is a Rank higher than the targeted Monster plus the number of banished DARK Monsters you used to 
activate this, all at the cost of only being able to Special Summon Xyz Monsters for the rest of the turn. Raider’s Unbreakable Mind is a Continuous Trap that’s always treated as a The Phantom Knights and Raidraptor card, if you Xyz Summon a DARK Xyz then you can target and destroy a card on the field, and if this face-up card is destroyed by a card effect you can set a Rank-Up-Magic directly from your Deck or graveyard. Finally, Raidraptor’s Phantom Knights Claw is a Counter Trap that when a monster effect is activated, you can detach a material from a DARK Xyz Monster to negate the activation and destroy that card and then if the detached material was a The Phantom Knights, Raidraptor, or Xyz Dragon card then 1 Raidraptor Xyz you control gains ATK equal to the destroyed Monster’s original ATK.
Tri-Brigade Uprising
The next archetype supports Beasts, Beast-Warriors, and Winged-Beasts as Tri-Brigade arrive to boost the power of any Decks of the related types. All 3 Main Deck Monsters have the effect to Special Summon any Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast Link from the Extra Deck by banishing Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast monsters from the graveyard equal to the Link Rating at the cost of you only being able to use said Monster types for Link Summons for the rest of that turn, so they all give access to a pretty interesting Link toolbox, now for the unique effects of the 3 Main Deck Monsters and then some. Tri-Brigade Nervall is a Level 1 WIND Winged Beast that if sent to the graveyard can
let you search for any other Tri-Brigade monster. Tri-Brigade Kerass is a Level 2 Beast that can discard any Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast to Special Summon this from the hand. Tri-Brigade Fraktall is a Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior that can be discarded to send any Level 3 or lower Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast from the Deck to the graveyard.

the graveyard during the End Phase because it was sent there that turn you can add to your hand or Special Summon a Fallen of Albaz or a Tri-Brigade Monster from the Deck.

card from your hand to the bottom of the Deck. Tri-Brigade Rugal the Silver Sheller is a Link-3 EARTH Beast-Warrior with Right, Bottom-Right, and Bottom arrows, needs any 2+ Beasts, Beast-Warriors, and/or Winged Beasts as material, during your opponent’s Main Phase as a Quick Effect can let you summon a Level 4 or lower Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast from your hand or graveyard with its effects negated and it goes to the hand during the End Phase, and if sent to the graveyard you can debuff your opponent’s Monster’s ATK by 300 times the number of different Monster Types you control. Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen is a Link-4 DARK Winged Beast 
with arrows pointing Left, Right, Bottom-Left, and Bottom-Right, needs any 2+ Beasts, Beast-Warriors, and/or Winged Beasts as material, if Special Summoned or a monster of the three Types is Special Summoned to your field then you can banish a card on the field, and if sent to the graveyard can let you search a Monster of the three Types with a Level that’s less than or equal to the number of banished Monsters of said Types. Tri-Brigade Stand Off is a Continuous Spell that prevents you from Special Summoning anything other than Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast Monsters from the Extra Deck, can let you send a Monster from hand or field to the graveyard
to search a Tri-Brigade Monster with a different Type from the sent Monster, and if this card in the owner’s Spell/Trap Zone is destroyed by an opponent’s card effect then the opponent cannot attack that turn. Tri-Brigade Airborne Assault is a Quick-Play Spell that can let you target a Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast you control to Special Summon a Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast Monster from the Deck with a different Type and less ATK from the targeted monster with the summoned Monster’s effects negated for the turn and you not being able to Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn except for Link Monsters. Tri-Brigade Revolt is a Normal Trap that lets you Special Summon any number of Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast Monsters that are banished and/or in your graveyard with their effects negated and then immediately after this effect resolves you Link Summon a Tri-Brigade Link using only those Monsters as material.

It isn’t a Rise of the Duelist, but it’s a very fun set overall. Tri-Brigade is gonna be a great archetype for various different Beast, Beast-Warrior, and/or Winged Beast Decks. Phantom Knights and Raidraptors each got a good boost with another good OTK option with Raider’s Knight and Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon for any DARK Deck. AA-ZEUS is a good boost for Xyz Decks, specifically Zoodiac. Alpha is a comparable to Dinowrestler Pankratops, a card that’s at 1 in the TCG. Prank-Kids and Virtual World become good rogue options in the competitive landscape. All that on top of some fun cards for various Decks to use and a bunch of archetype support and you got another set where almost anybody can find a card for them.
