ABC Gun Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/LINK_VRAINS_Packhttp://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_2017080701.phphttps://ygorganization.com/a-link-to-the-packs/I just wanted to talk about this very unusual yet interesting booster pack coming to the OCG. I translated the following on Google Translate."OCG" latest booster "LINK VRAINS PACK" was decided to be released on 25th November.In this booster, a lot of link monsters will be recorded that will strengthen the "OCG" original series that appeared so far. Also, the cards necessary to build the deck of that series will be re-recorded.Continuing reports about "LINK VRAINS PACK" will be released in future V jumps and weekly Shonen Jump."Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG DM LINK VRAINS PACK"● Release date: November 25, 2017 (Saturday)● Price: 14 packs including 4 packs (tax excluded)1 BOX with 15 packsFirst off, its going to have 100 cards, the only time the OCG made booster packs with over 80 cards, it was back all the way at the tail end of ZEXAL for both Korean and Japanese releases from Legacy of the Valiant into the latter part of ARC-V with Invasion: Vengeance, all ten packs that got this treatment were Main Series Boosters on top of that none went past 90 cards in total only the TCG has ever had 100 cards in a Main Booster. With the way they're promoting this pack, it sounds less like a Main Series Booster and more like a promo pack kind of like the Duelist Packs, the Duel Terminal Series ,or the other Boosters we've been getting as of late (like the upcoming Spirit Warriors), and those sets normally get 60 cards aimed at specific themes and Archetypes much like this pack, unlike a Main Series Booster which has more focus on cards from the anime with some game-original Archetypes and a few let's say "experimental" cards for both the casual and competitive players (Ventriloquists Clara & Lucika). The yugioh.wikia page states that "Burning Abyss", "Gladiator Beast", "Lightsworn" and "Qli" Archetypes will get support, specifically Link Monsters. I'm really curious to see what Konami does with this "new thing" they're trying because if it works, we could potentially be looking at having 2 coinciding boosters series', each with 100 cards, both supporting various Archetypes from the entire history of the game in order to keep the game fresh and exciting while keeping players around who latch on to certain cards that would otherwise be powercreeped.What do you think Konami should do with this pack, and should they make more like it?

Blake Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 we already knew about this it prints 20 Links for past RL Original Archetypes. Presumably prints support for them beyond that, too. You're really late to this, there's no need for terrible google translate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC Gun Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 God damn you I thought we'd got a full/partial spoiler when I saw the topic title If I find a full spoiler I will update this ASAP.we already knew about this it prints 20 Links for past RL Original Archetypes. Presumably prints support for them beyond that, too. You're really late to this, there's no need for terrible google translate. I didn't hear anything else about 20 Links for past Archetypes just the ones on the yugioh.wikia page, but I know at one point ygorganization had that same information except right now they don't so until Konami confirms something I don't know what is or is not getting Link support.

The Highlander Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 [...] and should they make more like it?Support for old archtypes is always something good.I would actually like a whole lot more of these boosters (and finally Raidraptor's deserved decent RUM searcher they still lack). [...] I didn't hear anything else about 20 Links for past Archetypes just the ones on the yugioh.wikia page, [...]As far as I am informed it is support, including links, for 20 existing archtypes themes.Not 20 links for existing archtypes themes. The information is actually not new, however I do not remember having a topic on it yet.And I really wish they reprint as few cards as possible.

Oh for sure we're getting reprints, maybe even 1 or 2 retrained versions of older cards. I just never heard anything specific about what is in this set, just rumors.
