Card Creations:
Almighty Skies
June 9, 2006

First of all, I’d like to apologize for my 2-week absence. I was doing homework most of the time (presentations and the like...).

Anyway, welcome once again to yet another Card Creations Article. Today’s one will bring you Almighty Skies, a package that could provide the game with new and original cards that would dominate the battlefield with their abilty to fly up high.

I received a lot of e-mails containing a lot of wonderful ideas, so this is gonna be a very spectacular article.

Anyway, this package will contain new Dragon-Type Cards and Wind Cards. Dragons aren’t that unsupported, but I would still like to write an article about them, since I don’t see a lot of Dragon Decks around. The same goes for Wind Cards. With the release of Enemy Of Justice, we get some nice new Wind/Winged-Beast Support (Icarus Attack, new Harpy Cards and more). Still, they could be a lot better than they are nowadays.

So, without further ado, let’s start with the package: Almighty Skies!
