First Cards Revealed From the Upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh Set Legacy of the Valiant

Legacy of the Valiant may be coming to Japan in November but some of the set has been revealed recently:

  • Number 39: Utopia Roots
    Rank 1/LIGHT 
    Warrior/Xyz/Effect
    2 Level 1 monsters
    When any player’s monster declares an attack: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the attack, and if you do, if that monster is an Xyz Monster, this card gains ATK equal to the Rank of that monster x 500.

    Love this card! It’s a great, easily accessible Xyz Monster that can get quite powerful is used correctly. A nice buff for decks that run Rank 1’s.

  • Rank-Down-Magic Numeron Fall
    SPELL
    Target 1 “Utopia” monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 “Utopia” monster whose Rank is lower than that monster you control, by using it as the Xyz Material. (This Special Summon is treated as an Xyz Summon. Xyz Materials attached to it also become Xyz Materials on the Summoned monster.) The Summoned monster gains this effect:
    – If this card battles an opponent’s monster, that monster’s effect is negated during the Battle Phase only.

    Utopia decks may find use for this card but overall it seems a bit week. It would be funny to ram Number 39: Utopia Roots (after summoning it with this spell) into Dracossack.

  • Xyz Shift
    SPELL
    Tribute 1 Xyz Monster; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Xyz Monster with the same Type, Attribute, and Rank as the Tributed monster, but with a different name, then attach this card to it as an Xyz Material. Send the Special Summoned monster to the Graveyard during the End Phase. You can only activate 1 “Xyz Shift” per turn.

    You know what? This could see some use in some specific element decks as well as making some dead Xyz monsters useful again, who doesn’t like an Xyz specific Transmodify.

    So that’s the new cards, we haven’t seen the new NO monsters or the rumoured Rank 13 Xyz yet but VGU will keep you up to date with any new developments.

    What do you think of the cards from Legacy of the Valiant? Will you be using them? Or are they not to your liking?
