Other must-haves for your deck!
Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier and Silver Thorn, Rising Dragon

Introducing rear-guard units that can reinforce the glitter ride lines from Booster Pack 05 for your deck!
Ladies and Gentlemen! Rarami and It’s Show Time! Ririmi
Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier complements very well with Silver Thorn, Rising Dragon due to Luquier’s ability to call up to three units from your soul to the rear-guard circles, which in turn triggers Rising Dragon’s ability to boost its power.
Shoreline Raise Dragon
Obliterate your foes completely with the arrival of the ultimate Shoreline Raise Dragon!
In the late game, Shoreline Raise Dragon truly shines as its unique ability will boost its attack power by 10,000 every time it attacks!
However, don’t forget to have a “Blue Storm Armada” on your order zone in order to activate this effect.
Good to have in your deck!
Magic of Alteration, Turnarr and Sublimate Lance Dragon
Essential cards such as Turnarr can rescue you when you are in a pinch as its ability allows you to put this unit into soul in order to charge your counter blast by 1. Additionally, Sublimate Lance Dragon can prevent your opponent from making moves that are disadvantageous for you by locking a chosen card on your opponent’s rear-guard circle. This window of opportunity can disrupt your opponent’s strategy and claim your way to victory.
Monster Creator, Arkhite
Following the introduction of world shaper Shojodoji, the origin and creation of all monsters is now here to conquer the battlefield!
Gather up plenty of research cards in your order zone to call forth a monster unit every attack! Additionally, place cards with “Monster” in its card name to gain extra power boost by 10,000 for that turn. Arkhite is an exceptional unit that can boost its ally, calling additional units to the field and attack with its full force, leaving your opponent devastated in battle!
Other must-haves for your deck!
Volcano Monster, Goukaterra and Windstorm Monster, Cyclogaade
Liquefy your opponent with the intense heat emitting from Volcano Monster, Goukaterra. Once Goukaterra is placed on your rear-guard circle, it can potentially wipe out all of your enemy’s guards! On top of that, its power increases by 5,000 when attacking, which is best combined with lots of research cards (three or more) in your order zone.
Shred your enemies into a million pieces with unseen sonic wind blades from Windstorm Monster, Cyclogaade. When this card is on the field, place any unit card with “Monster” in its name from your drop zone to the order zone. In addition, possess two or more research cards in your order zone for a boosted shield effect! (+5,000)
The deadly combination of heat and wind will leave all your enemies in despair!
Circulate Acrobat, Urseltje
Elegant acrobatics by Circulate Acrobat, Urseltje debuts with its mesmerising performance!
When Urseltje appears on the field by your vanguard’s ability, soul blast one and then charge counter blast by one for a quick recharge before you proceed to annihilate your opponent with its quirky dance moves.
Other must-haves for your deck!
Silver Thorn, Breathing Dragon and Trapeze Actress
Both cards can trigger their abilities to boost the power of units when “Luquier” is in your zone as Vanguard!
Trapeze Actress offers the option of boosting your vanguard power by 5,000 when placed on rear-guard or gains an extra 5,000 shield strength when placed on the guardian zone instead! This unit is an all-rounder that is capable of toying with your opponent in different ways.
