Yeah I saw that a few hours ago. I was running out of hype things to look forward to but they really delivered with these new cards.

I swear the way Konami is going they will even support elementsabers at some point XD. I wonder if this will be all the lightsworn stuff or if they have more plans for later..

Man I wish they had better lore. Like, written down. They sound cool but all the lore is hiding.

God I hope there's more but honestly it's just nice to have good extenders searchable off charge and one even fixes drawing wulf

Can only hope we get these at a reasonable pace. I like my lightsworn deck, but it's so unreliable. Things to help with consistency will be a godsend.

yea we need this, more lightsworn names in my graveyard!!

It's also just kind of nice to see judgment dragon get at least aknowleged

[Raven]

oh, this is super good support stuff :O I've never had a desire to use punishment dragon, but the little dragon guy makes him a good one of for the fusion. Also if you make the synchro, it looks like ONLY the dragons would get banished, so this is pretty crazy.

Also I've had very little consistency issues with my lightsworn, the biggest issue that's plagued me is wulf in hand, and now there is a card to fix it besides beckoning

edit: Can someone explain Athena to me? I'm dumb. If I understand her effect, you would "banish" 4 lightsworn monsters, but her own effect means they can't be banished, so you would just get a free four mill? Or is her effect unable to work because they can't be banished?

Only monster you control(on the board) have the protection, so card in gy can still be banished

Thank you, I misread Athena. (Also how many Athena cards are we gonna get, isn't this like the fourth? Or was this OG Athena and she got converted by the light?)

As a Lightsworn fanboy this made my day. I'll definitely be checking Edopro until they add the new support to play in order to test different decks with the new cards.

Still, I guess they still don't dare to add new Twilightsworn cards especially with Chaos Ruler being banned both in the TCG and OCG.

Imagine the world where raiden finally gets his twlightsworn and its the 2nd good one that'll be the day

Damn, they're keeping the legacy custom card support train going through the GX era. Enlightenment dragon is just an easy wincon against so many decks, having your entire graveyard banished on a quick effect kills so many things. Thankfully it's not generic enough to be splashable without a heavy lightsworn engine.

Baby JD is adorable btw

he is a cute little guy I also kind of like that we have seen minerva grow up over her cards its a really neat touch

[Zelwy]

the support is good enough to make the deck rogue? I am not well versed in this archetype to be honest but seems fun.
