Subject: What to watch for when Magic Ruler Arrives-YugiProJ
With the release of magic ruler just around the corner I thought it would be a good Idea to give all of you a heads up in whats to come. Lets take a look at the restricted cards first.
Two very popular cards in Japan they are
Confiscate and Mischevius Twin Demons. Now lets see why they have been restricted to only one per deck in Japan. Both cards require 1000 Lp to activate, the reason, well Confiscate allows you to look at your opponents hand choose a card and discard it to the graveyard. And it gets even better, Mischevious Twin Demons allows you to randomly select a card from your oppoents hand discard it to the graveyard after that you get to look at the remaining cards in his or her hand and discard an additional one!! Wow thats crazy! Exodia you better watch out!
Next in line are the brand new equipment cards:
Horn of Light raises 800 atk and def but it still has sword of deep seateds effect!
Demons Axe raises a monster attack power by 1000 and unlike Sword od Deep Seated, you get to deicide if you want it on top of your deck or not when it is sent to the graveyard
Demons Kiss raises a monster attack power by 700 and it too allows you to decide if you want it on top of your deck when it is sent to the graveyard.
The Black Pendant raises a monster attack power by 500. Also when it goes from the field to the graveyard it deals 500 direct damage to the opponent

This would not be complete with out a preview of monsters:
Maha Vairo 1550 atk power 4 stars Spellcaster Light: Not that impressive right? wrong Maha vairo gets 500 atk power for each equipment card attached to it plus the bonus already given by the card. Lets do some math: 1550 + 1000 demons Axe + 500 effect =3050 no tribute monster!!! Wow thats crazy!!
Labrynth Wall 5 star 0/3000 Enough said. Illusionist faceless mage eat your heart out!!
Diamond Dragon 7 stars dragon 2000/2800 not so great but a great addition to lord of d decks!!
Wall shadow 1600/3000 brother to Labrynth wall. Can be special summoned from your deck by sacrificing a labyrth wall with maze change euipped to it!!

Next are the infamous toon cards!!
These cards will add a new twist to yu-gi-oh;Direct damage with all toon monster unless your opponent also has a toon monster.

Notable Toon Monsters:
Toon Summoned Skull 2500
Toon Blue Eyes WHite Dragon 3000
Toon Dragon Egger 2200

Another new twist to the yu-gi-oh world are the addition of Ritual monsters the most notable being Relinquished aka sacrifice! 0/0 not impressive well except for the fact that it can absorb your opponets monsters gaining the monsters atk and def!! There are a few other ritual monsters but most won't be worth playing!!

Lets take a look at some of the new Trap cards:
Spell Binding Circle- we've seen yugi use this card a number of times. It traps a monster and prevents it from attacking or switching modes as long as the Spell Binding Circle is in Play!!

There are some other magic cards that we are going to discuss:
Toll is a contiual magic card that makes each player pay 500 life points to attack. Direct damage decks and exodia decks will really appreciate this card.
Another exodia staple Grave guarding demon. In order to attack your opponent must discard the top card from there deck!! Wow another great card!!
This is just a short look look at whats to come. The release of magic ruler will have as much an impact on yu-gi-oh as the release of Metal Raiders!! I hope this helps some of you out with whats to come!
