Burst Protocol – Tuck Box

“Rokkets” return in Burst Protocol, along with the latest “Forbidden” Quick-Play Spell Card: Forbidden Crown!

Depicting the struggle of powers above and below, the “Forbidden” series of Quick-Play Spells started way back in 2009. Forbidden Crown is the sixth, and the one with the most effects (so far)!

As the saying goes, “heavy is the head that wears the crown.” The monster chosen by Forbidden Crown gets hit with ALL of these effects for the rest of the turn:

• Its effects are negated.
• It can’t attack.
• It can’t be destroyed.
• It’s unaffected by card effects – except its own.
• It can’t be Tributed, or used as Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Material.

And finally, neither player can use monster effects in response to the Crown to try and stop it.

Since the Crown, like all “Forbidden” Quick-Plays, can be used on either turn, you can use it on any monster, friend or foe, as offense or defense, depending on the situation. You can stop your opponent’s monster effects, disrupt their Summoning strategy by making a monster unusable as material, or make it indestructible while it’s stuck in Attack Position so you can run over it again and again to smash their Life Points. On the other hand, you can use it on your own monsters to protect them from enemy card effects, from being destroyed in battle, and from being used as material by your opponent. And since it opens so many possibilities, it’s a great card to Set if you’re going first, because it always has a great use.

It’s the Crown for every occasion!

And who knows the weight of the Crown better than Darklord Eveningstar? The Darklords are back! Use Darklord Dance to easily Fusion Summon Eveningstar (or any DARK Fairy) with materials from the hand, field, or Graveyard (or even use “Darklords” your opponent controls…) and boost his ATK by a thousand. Darklord Eveningstar Sets a “Darklord” Spell and a “Darklord” Trap from your Deck when he’s Summoned, and has the standard “Darklord” power to duplicate the effects of “Darklord” Spells and Traps in your Graveyard before shuffling them back into your Deck for re-use.

It’s a “Rokket” relaunch! Use the many powerful “Borrel” Link Monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS to fire off brand-new “Rokket” monsters inspired by Varis’ strategy from the anime! You can also add a new Link-5 “Borrel” Monster to your Extra Deck to go alongside your mighty Borrelend Dragon! Play your cards right and you may even be able to Summon both together!

If you missed out on Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem, go back and grab the latest upgrade to Crowley (called “the Gifted Magistus”). That’s because Spenta, the Magistus Sealer will be debuting in Burst Protocol! But that’s not all, the electrifying Fusion Monster Invoked Magistus Omega is going to be in this absolutely explosive set, too!

Mercurium the Living Quicksilver is a Rank 10 Xyz Monster (Aqua/DARK/ATK 3000/DEF 3000) that attaches a monster from your Deck to itself as material when it’s Xyz Summoned. And while Mercurium has material, your opponent cannot activate any monster effects in their Graveyard, if you have a monster with that same Attribute in YOUR Graveyard. Mercurium needs to be kept fed with new materials to keep this effect going, but as long as you can keep him satisfied, you’ll be able to shut down your opponent’s key strategies!

It’s also that time again for a brand-new World Premiere theme! The scientists have been deep in the lab messing around with things that are probably better off left alone. What’s that? Scientists with dinosaurs? Okay, well, surely nothing can go wrong with their experiments…right…right?

All this and so much more is coming your way in Burst Protocol!
