Hidden Arsenal 4 Released

First there was Brionac.
Next came Dewloren.
Then Gungnir joined the battle.

Now Hidden Arsenal 4: Trishula’s Triumph ups the all-foil-ante in a big way, with the strongest Ice Barrier monster ever: Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!

Trishula will rise up from the glaciers to do battle for YOU! Summon Trishula, and you can permanently eradicatethree of your opponent’s cards: one from their hand, one on the field, and one in the Graveyard! At the same time. For free! Best of all, Trishula works well in ANY Deck.

This 60 card all-monster, all-foil booster set also contains stellar new Dragunity, Jurrac, Genex, Fabled, Naturia, and Flamvell monsters. Here’s a quick preview of what’s in stores for you!

  • New “The Fabled…” monsters give a Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG spin on some classic storybook characters! Can you figure out which legends inspired new monsters like The Fabled CatsithThe Fabled Kokkator, and The Fabled Peggulsus?
  • Being cute and cuddly doesn’t mean The Fabled monsters aren’t dangerous! Discard the three-headed The Fabled Cerberrul to Special Summon The Fabled Nozoochee. Then Summon Cerberrul back and use them both to Synchro Summon The Fabled Unicore, a monster that can negate every one of your opponent’s card effects!
  • Dragunity Knight – Barcha is a true master of arms. Many Dragunity monsters can transform one of their comrades into a living weapon. But when Barcha is Summoned, he grabs as many monsters as he can from your Graveyard, and equips them all at once!
  • Naturia Beast (from Hidden Arsenal 2) negates Spells. Naturia Barkion (from Hidden Arsenal 3) negates Traps. And now the new Fusion Monster Naturia Exterio negates both! (But wait, what about Effect Monsters? Leave them to Naturia Landoise, another new Synchro Monster that can negate the effects of monsters!)
  • Get ready for a shocking secret! The Jurrac Dinosaurs weren’t wiped out by meteors… they BECAME meteors! Jurrac Meteor is a Dino-tastic Synchro Monster that can destroy every single card on the field, then bring back a tough Jurrac Tuner like Jurrac Dino from your Graveyard to continue your assault!
  • Last but not least, Trishula isn’t the only new Ice Barrier monster in this set. There are plenty of Ice Barrier monsters, including 2 new Ice Barrier Generals: General Raiho of the Ice Barrier andGeneral Gantala of the Ice Barrier.
  • 5 foil cards per pack: 1 Secret Rare and 4 Super Rares.
  • Contains 1 new Fusion Monster, 10 new Synchro Monsters, and 49 new Effect Monsters!
  • Available as single packs, or in 4-pack super-blisters at select retail chains.

As a follow-up to our recent successful multiplayer offerings, 2009′s Planechase and 2010′sArchenemy, Wizard’s of the Coast wanted to do something different for their 2011 multiplayer product. They set out to kill two birds with one stone: make new cards specifically for multiplayer play and give a popular fan-created format—Elder Dragon Highlander (or EDH for short)—the attention it deserves. This format is now known as “Commander.”

New Phyrexia Pre-Release 7th May

new_phyrexia_prerelease

 

The New Phyrexia Prerelease will be held on Saturday, 7th May 2011 at 12 noon. The cost will be $40 for the sealed event and a draft immediately after this event for $16.

Held six days before each new Magic card set goes on sale, Prereleases provide an excellent way to experience the grandeur of a worldwide event in a low-stress environment. At Prerelease events, you will be able to play with cards from the new set before you can buy them, receive special promotional cards for attending, and have the opportunity to win even more cards by playing. So have fun!

Prereleases are Limited events, meaning you build your 40-card (minimum) deck from the packs that you get after paying your entry fee (Sealed Deck format). Attendees have the option to participate in a Sealed Deck tournament, or the more informal Open Dueling format, both of which provide great opportunities to see and play with the new cards.
