Every time a new set is
released, there will always be some cards that come
over-valued compared to others. Ancient Prophecy is
no exception. A few of these cards have been hyped
even before the set came out, and to make matters
worse, it had become a higher rarity that what was
expected.
Here are 10 Ancient
Prophecy cards (of super rare and above) to keep an
eye out for:
1)
ANPR-EN005
Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor
(Ultra
Rare/Ultimate
Rare)
-
Vayu is without a doubt the most talked about card
of the set. With Blackwings arguably at the peak of
their popularity, coming off big tournament wins in
Worlds and SJC Indy, Vayu’s demand will be at an all
time high. Vayu literally takes a new twist to the
synchro engine, and before long, you’ll be seeing
decks built around this little guy.
2)
ANPR-EN009
Jester Confit
(Super
Rare)
-
Monarchs have a new friend, one in which they can be
summoned on the same turn. With Raiza back at 3,
Jester Confit can be easily used as tribute fodder.
Being able to special summon something without any
costs that you can later use to tribute is huge.
Expect to see a few of these clowns popping up in
decks here and there.
3)
ANPR-EN035
XX-Saber Faultroll
(Super
Rare)
-
This card is how X-Saber decks will find victories
with. With the condition that you need 2 X-Sabers
on the field to summon this, after this card is
summoned, you can potentially end up with 4
monsters. Follow that up with Saber Slash, and
advantage is all yours. This card is a MUST for all
X-Saber decks.
4)
ANPR-EN048
Ancient Forest
(Super
Rare)
-
This card breathes new life into Gladiator Beast
decks post-ban list. Not only does it give GBs new
life, it will also make it one of the most
control-based decks to ever exist, not to mention
one of the most annoying. This card will not hinder
GBs in any way compared to what it can do to your
opponent’s strategy. Love to use it, hate to face
it.
5)
ANPR-EN051
Future Visions
(Super
Rare)
-
Another fairly interesting control-based field
spell. There will be certain rogue decks out there
that will thrive on this card. However, expect this
to be a card that quite a few people will want, yet
won’t what to do with once they have it. Using this
card can be trickier than it appears. Maybe a
“Spiritual” revival of some sort is in the making?
6)
ANPR-EN052
Core Compression
(Super
Rare)
-
This card can be a sleeper for the time being. With
rumors buzzing around that Koa’ki Meirus getting a
“boss”-type monster in the next set, Core
Compression might be the staple card in the deck
that will be sought after then. For the time being
though, Koa’ki Meirus still haven’t reached that
level of competitiveness yet.
7)
ANPR-EN058
Saber Slash
(Super
Rare)
-
Another card that makes X-Saber decks good.
Perfectly fitting for the aggressive play-style
X-Saber decks bring to the play field. Saber Slash
is basically a Blackwing’s Icarus Attack, and even
better potentially...
8)
ANPR-EN085
Card Guard
(Secret
Rare)
-
A
set wouldn’t be complete without secret rares being
in demand. Card Guard is one of those cards. It
allows players to be offensive, yet have insurance
invested onto the aggressive monster. An offensive
deck that maintains control over the field can be a
scary combination.
9)
ANPR-EN088
Greed Grado
(Secret
Rare)
-
Draw 2 cards are always good, right? Well not all
the time, as in the case for Greed Grado. While it
looks to be a really usable card, it is somewhat too
situational. A lot of decks these days do not even
require to synchro summon to win. With SynCat
basically out of commission, Greed Grado comes to us
a format too late.
10)
ANPR-EN092
White Night Dragon
(Secret
Rare)
-
Hopeless Dragon fans have a new Dragon to play
around with...a very powerful one at that. Not only
does it have a massive attack, it also has a very
controlling effect. That puts a new spin into a
deck that is purely aggressive. This could turn out
to be a sleeper of a card depending on how it is put
into use.
