Elvennotes Review

  Burst Protocol is heating up as its Japanese release date of October 25 th has recently come and gone.   New support is coming out for fan-favorites like the K9s, Fur Hires and Yummys, but I always prefer to focus on the new and the novel.   And, while their aesthetic isn’t exactly new or novel, perhaps the playing style of the new Elvennotes monsters might be.   Let’s take a look.   Right off the bat, it says they’re based on Level 6 monsters, which is a bit odd and awkward.   I don’t think we’ve seen much of Level 6 stuff since the horrendous Hazy Flame archetype so many years ago, but I could be wrong.   They are also, like the Artmages, Doom-Z and HMM, a part of this go-around’s storyline, possessing a Power Patron in the form of Elvennotes Power Patron (no surprise there) and a Power Patron boss monster in the form of Junora-The Power Patron of Tuning.   Where the Doom-Z focused on Xyz Monsters and the Artmages themselves...

Let's Make Some Noise!

  And now, after a lengthy hiatus, here I am to finally discuss with you the final archetype from the Phantom Revengers Deck Build Pack, releasing in the U.S. in just over a month.   I have already discussed the Hecahands and the Enneacraft, both fine in their own right, and now we move on to the Killer Tunes.   To be honest, I wasn’t 100% looking forward to these cards, as their aesthetic is a little far out of my wheelhouse, but I must say that I do find their effects intriguing.   The Killer Tunes are described by Konami English release and Japanese blurbs as “Synchro Tuner monsters play[ing] a tune that’s just to die for.   [And] A Synchro Tuner to make some killer noise on the floor with its wild scratches.”   All of Killertunes have finally been released, under the slightly-different English name of “Killer Tune”.   They are all Tuner Monsters, including their Synchro Monsters, making them surprisingly high-Level.   They ha...

The Eagle Has Landed

    Well, fans, after a long-enough wait, we finally have more news on Phantom Revengers.   First off, we have a release date for North America, which turns out to be Dec. 5, under the new title of “Phantom Revenge”.   And, speaking of new titles, that Hecatoncheire archetype that we discussed not too long ago has now been, for some reason, retitled as the “Hecahands”.   They’ve also renamed the Killertunes as well, but we’ll discuss them some more later.   But at least the Enneacraft monsters haven’t had their names changed, and that’s what we’re going to be talking about today.   Between them, the Konami English release and the Japanese blurb describe them as “A Flip theme that will punish your opponent for any action that they might take.   A Flip Monster theme deployed to ascertain the sins of man.”   And, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here before, but the kanji in their name are literally read as “Sin-Investig...

Magnifistorm A-Brewin'!

  With the next booster pack Doom of Dimensions set to release at the end of next month (Sept. 26), now seems like as good a time as any to talk about its upcoming archetypes.   And, since I’ve already discussed the Doom-Z monsters, that means it’s time for the Magnifistorms.   Ever since the dawn of the franchise, Wind-Attribute monsters and archetypes have been strongly associated with storms and the wind itself.   From Harpie Ladies to Mist Valleys to Majispecters.   And now, joining those ranks, we have the new Magnifistorm archetype debuting in Doom of Dimensions.   I can’t rightly remember the last archetype that was based around an already pre-existing card (if one ever even did exist), but the Magnifistorms are based around the staple Quick-Play Spell Card Mystical Space Typhoon.   And, let’s be honest: If you don’t even know what that is, then what are you even doing here?   Level and Type-wise, they seem to be all o...
