The Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Manga's 3rd Volume should be out and it comes with an Ultra Rare promo card, Number 22: Zombiestein. Below are pictures and A little information on both:


Synopsis:
In a futuristic city, augmented reality duels are all the rage. Duelists using devices called D-Gazers, can interact with their environment and their opponents as never before! With more awesome monsters and unbelievable cards, the future of Yu-Gi-Oh! starts right here!

In the Heartland theme park, Yuma (with a little help from Astral) has managed to defeat Captain Corn in an amazing duel, but there are more challenges yet to come! Mr. Heartland is out to capture all the powerful Number cards and destroy Astral's world. If Yuma and his friends won't join him, Mr. Heartland will crush them!

Deck Profile: Heraldic Beasts

Okay guys for our first deck profile we're going to be doing my personal deck right now which is Heraldic Beasts. One thing you should know about me is that I never really make meta decks at all because I like to keep my own thing going instead of what other people are doing. I'll try to have other people's decks on here too. (Like my friends and my girlfriend's) But anyway let's dive into the archetype first:

Archetype Overview:

Attribute: Varies
Type: Varies
Common Level: 4
Sister Archetypes: Heraldry

The Heraldic Beast archetype is based on the symbolic representations of countries called Heraldry Charges. The main point of the archetype is to use swarm and banish tactics while keeping a hand advantage as well. They also offer minimal Psychic-type support.

My Version of the Deck

Basically how I will do this is run through each card of the deck after a deck list and explain how it helps the overall strategy. My Heraldic Beast build's main focus is too easily summon Rank 4 Xyzs using the swarm tactics within the archetype. Here is the list I use:

Monsters: (20)
Card Trooper
Cyber Dragon
Heraldic Beast Aberconway x3
Heraldic Beast Basilisk x2
Heraldic Beast Berners Falcon x2
Heraldic Beast Eale x2
Heraldic Beast Leo x3
Heraldic Beast Twin-Headed Eagle
Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress x2
The Tricky
Tragoedia x2

Spells: (14)
Advanced Heraldry Art x3
Dark Hole
Foolish Burial
Heavy Storm
Heraldry Reborn x2
Mind Control
Monster Reborn
Mystical Space Typhoon x2
Pot of Duality x2

Traps: (7)
Dark Bribe
Dimensional Prison x2
Magic Cylinder
Mirror Force x2
Pinpoint Guard

Extra Deck: (15)
Gagaga Cowboy
Gem-Knight Pearl
Kachi Kochi Dragon
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn
Number 16: Shock Master
Number 17: Leviathan Dragon
Number 39: Utopia
Number 50: Blackship of Corn
Number 61: Volcasaurus
Number 69: Heraldry Crest
Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage x2
Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon
Number C39: Utopia Ray

Intro

So I just wanted to post this to talk a bit about what I'm gonna do here. Basically I'm going to try to keep you updated on Yu-Gi-Oh both the game and the anime/manga series by posting news updates and deck profiles. Not much else to say except that so keep an eye open for postings and we'll be starting with my personal deck profile just to get the ball rolling.
