New Set Release!

You heard it right, the new Booster Set 12 has been announced! The new set, named "Binding Force of the Black Rings" will be the first set of season 3 to release support for a number of favorite clans, including Dark Irregulars and Pale Moon. As a really sad person, however, I must report that, as of yet, no support is planned in this set for either Granblue or Megacolony.

Here is the poster for the set, showcasing some interesting new stuff!


As you can see, we are treated to four cards on the front poster:

1. An Unnamed Link Joker Boss Card
-- The President's Clan/Big Bad Villain Clan. They are going to implement a new ability with this clan called "Lock." Rumors abound that it will be similar in some way to "Bind." The most credible rumor says it will make a RG circle unusable, so you cannot call units into it. But nothing is official.

2. Garmore Liberator
-- The puppy lord gets this third incarnation as a liberator. Who knows what to expect here.

3. Eradicator Dungaree
-- Yep, that's the barely known card "Seal Dragon Dungaree" getting a new art and probably the Eradicator name. Lookin out for what he'll do.

4. Unknown Card, maybe King of Diptera?
-- It's uncertain whether that is a new card, or a new art version, perhaps of King of Diptera Beelzebub. We know Dark Irregular will return in this set, so it seems like. The other rumors are leaning towards an Aqua Force Card, but Beelzebub seems more correct, since we are also seeing new version of other already made cards.

In addition to these cards, we've been leaked a pretty image that leaked around the time the Star Vader Deck was announced. Oh, right. You didn't know that deck was named, did you? Trial Decks 10 and 11 have been announced and named: The Shadow Paladins as "Purgatory Revengers" and Link Joker as "Star Vader Invasion." At the bottom of the image posted below, you can see the respective posters for each deck. Following standard trial deck procedures, they will each have 1 RR card, and 2 R cards. Both decks will be 50 cards apiece.

Just click that link to find the image (it was too large to host here), and you'll also be treated to something else. Appearing in Set 12 is our next Dragon Tamer for Pale Moon. Seen in that image next to the Unnamed Link Joker Boss, the card bears a striking resemblance to Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier. While nobody is willing to break out the C word (ossride-Kay) in fear of being wrong, rumors are saying she will likely be the same card with a new name, probably sporting whatever Sub-Archetype Pale Moon introduces.

So, tons of spoilers abounding, there is set twelve! In addition, two more big boss cards were revealed for Set 11, Goddess of Fortune, Fortuna and Last Card, Revonn. Revonn was featured in an episode, so his effect is pretty well known, but Fortuna is brand new to most of us, so take a quick peek at em both! I've not included their images today, as Revonn has no official image to show, and Fortuna's was fuzzy and of bad quality, so simply enjoy their effects:

-----

Goddess of Fortune, Fortuna
<<Genesis>> Grade 3
11,000 Power

(VG) LB4 AUTO [Soublast 3] When this units drive check reveals a Grade 1 or greater <<Genesis>>, you may pay the cost. If so, place that card in the drop zone, and drive check one additional card. This ability can only be used once per turn.
(VG) ACT [Soublast 3] This unit gains +5,000 Power.

-----

Last Card, Revonn
<<Aqua Force>>
Grade 3 | 11,000 Power

(VG) LB4 AUTO [CB1] When this unit attacks a VG, if the number of units in [Rest] on your front row is 3 or more, you may pay the cost. If you do, this unit gains +3000 Power and +1 Critical until the end of that battle.
(VG) ACT [CB1] This unit gains +2000 Power until the end of the turn.
(VG/RG) Lord
