As mentioned a few days ago, we have a new Selection Pack in the shop! This one focuses mostly on Pendulum Summoning, adding the Vaylantz archetype to the game and offering support for Performapal, Odd-Eyes and Supreme King decks. Aside from Pendulum cards, the pack also introduces Scareclaw to the game, which is more of a Link deck. Let's get into it!


Vaylantz

This is an archetype of Pendulum Monsters with a very cool gimmick. Basically, each of its two Field Spells Konig Wissen and Shinra Bansho has the ability to play the other in the opponent's Field Zone, and then both players can use their effects. Konig Wissen lets you put your opponent's Monsters in the Spell & Trap zone, while Shinra Bansho lets you Summon your Monster from the Spell & Trap Zone to your field. Basically, it turns the match into a board game, the inspiration for the archetype.

The Monsters are split into two factions: FIRE Machines and WATER Spellcasters. All the Monsters can be Summoned from the Pendulum Zone to the Main Monster Zone, with the Level 2s and 4s restricting your Special Summoning, Level 6s and 8s require you to either control a Vaylantz Monster of the same Attribute or have their respective Field Spell active. All Main Deck Monsters have Pendulum Scale of 1, so you'll either need to use other Pendulum Monsters to Pendulum Summon or get one of their Extra Deck Monsters on the Scale.

Scareclaw

Scareclaw Tri-Heart Card Image Scareclaw Reichheart Card Image

Introduced in Dimension Force, this archetype is comprised of mostly Beast-Type Monsters, with the Extra Deck Monsters being Beast-Warrior. The archetype is inspired by and named after various real-life phobias, with the exception of the "Heart" Monsters, who seem to depict Reichheart gaining more bestial traits as it transforms into Light-Heart and Tri-Heart. The card Visas Starfrost is also part of this archetype, as it's one of the possible materials for Light-Heart and seems to depict Reichheart before the transformation.

Gameplay-wise, the archetype revolves around being able to Summon Scareclaw Monsters next to each other, with each Main-Deck Monster being able to boost Extra Deck Monsters in some way. The main strategy seems to be swarming the board, going into Tri-Heart, then using its effect to bring back one of the materials used for its Summon and draw another Scareclaw, which can be Summoned immediately. Tri-Heart also has some built-in protection, so keeping it on the board and beating your opponent with it seems to be the main strategy.

Pendulum Archetypes

Aside from the Vaylantz, the pack comes with a number of Pendulum archetypes, mainly Performapal, Odd-Eyes, and Supreme King. All three of these are linked to Yuya Sakaki, the protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Ark V anime. We'll give each of these archetypes its own subsection here, as well as have another one for the generic Pendulum cards included.
