Here's a short review on the New Accessories that was recently released in August 2014 in Japan. Accessories designs are from Dragon World, Danger World and Ancient World Characters and Monsters.
Each Accessory (Sleeves, Deck Case and Deck Storage Box comes with one PR Card each)
Dragon World Accessories
PR Card: WindWrath Dragon (Armordragon/Golden Dragon)
A Size 2 Monster with an attack of 5000 and Defense of 4000 with 2 Critical Damage Points. No Cost to Call and have the special [Act] ability to Destroy ALL 'Rested' Size 1 Monsters on the opponent field if the player chooses to 'Rest' the card by paying just 1 Gauge.
Although with the Size 2/ 2 Crit no cost combo, I don't think it can replace 'Jamadhar Dragon' (Size 2/ 2 Crit Atk:8000/ Def:4000 )slots but maybe adding a Couple to add versatility to a deck doesn't seem too bad.
Danger World Accessories
PR Card: Steel Blooded Dragon, Gavaldine (Duel Dragon)
Size 2 Monster with an attack of 5000 and Defense of 5000 with 2 Critical Damage Points. 2 Gauge to Call. [Act] ability to [Counterattack] if Destroying the Card was not successful due to [Soulguard] or any counter.
Much Similar to 'Fighting Dragon, Demongodol' with slightly better Defense (Demongodol at Def:3000) but only has 1 [Soulguard] whilst 'Demongodol' has 2 [Soulguard]
Ancient World Accessories
PR Card: Destruction Dragon Emperor, Gatastol (Dragon Lord)
A Size 3 Monster with an attack of 6000 and Defense of 7000 with 3 Critical Damage Points. No Cost to Call.With [Lifelink:1] When this card is discarded from hand with 1 Gauge, in the presence of a Size 3 Monster in player's Field, Destroy 1 Size 2 or less Monster in Opponent Field.
Pretty nifty and Important card to the Ancient World which is lacking in Real playable Size 3's. Good Defense and acceptable Attack attributes and a easily overseen 1 lifelink only. A must have in Ancient World Deck builds.
The Deck Storage Box can house up to 4 Medium Sized Deck Boxes (55pc Double Sleeved)
9 more Days to Extra Booster Vol.2 Release, Are you ready for 'Ace' Monster's from Danger World? Or the Soaring Life Healers, Asure Sky Knights in Dragon World?
Till Then, Raise The Flag!!!
A short review of the Promo Cards in the BuddyFight Pack Vol.2
As per the last volume, this second set also comes with a total 8 type of cards. (1 card in each pack)
From left to right:
Danger World>Armorknight Red Dragon>Size3, 9000Atk, 4Crit, 8000Def>Call Cost: 3 Gauge.
A Crit 4 Size 3 monster with no [Act] attributes, pretty high on Attack and Defend though a hefty 3 gauge must be paid.
Dragon World>Burning Lance Dragon>Size1, 4000Atk, 3 Crit, 3000Def>Call Cost: 2 Gauge.
Size 1, Crit 3 easily a Powered up version of the <Spike Shoulder Dragon> with an extra gauge to pay for raising the Attack and Defense by 1k each.
Katana World>Noble Thief Ninja, Nezumijiro>Size1, 2000Atk, 1Crit, 4000Def>
This little Size1 ninja has the ability to discard 1 gauge from the opponent upon a successful Damage. Play a trio Link Attack and instantly take 3 Gauges away from your opponent.
Ancient World>Spell>Wrath Trigger>Call Cost: 1 Lifepoint and 1 Gauge
Much anticipated card for Ancient World users. Wrath Trigger keeps a Monster on the field by paying a single Lifepoint and 1 Gauge. It also allows that Monster to have [Counterattack] for that turn. Very deadly when used appropriately with <Duel Sieger> combos.
Magic World>Dragowizard, Medium>Size1, 1000Atk, 2 Crit, 3000Def>
This card once with another <Wizard> on field becomes a 4000Atk Size1 Card. Greatly assisting "Wizard" Link Attack combos.
Dragon World>Dragon Knight, Wittmann>Size2, 3000Atk, 2Crit, 6000Def
With
no call cost, this card has quite a good Defend attributes and to add
to that has the ability to 'Rest' itself, pay 1 Gauge when another
<Dragon Knight> is in field to Deal 2 Crit to your opponent, [Act]
skill.
Ancient World>Flame Strike Deity, Agosbruch>6000Atk, 2Crit, 5000Def>
Interesting
Size2 monster card with a special [Counter] ability to put the card
into the Dropzone (Lifelink 1) and in turn destroying a Size 1 opponent
monster. This being an [Act], can be use in the "Main Phase" or be used
as a [Counter] in the opponent's "Attack Phase" when being attacked.
Dungeon World>Master Skeleton>Size3, 8000Atk, 3Crit, 5000Def>Call Cost: 3 Gauge and 1 Soul
Average stats for a Size 3 with only a 5000 Defense and 1 Soulguard. Its ability to Call a Size 0 <Dungeon Enemy> without Cost upon enetring Field is not all that attractive until a more 'useful' Size 0 is available i guess.(Not that Card Frame is the Older version of the Dungeon Prototype design)
The Foil PR for this Volume is Ancient World's <Flame Strike Deity, Agosbruch> Really like the card but it would have been a better card if it was a Size 3 with the same ability to Destroy a Size 2 or more. But that would have been too powerful i guess.
Thats all for the short review, till next post~
Raise The Flag!!!!
Here are the BuddyFight highlights in this Issue of CoroCoro Comic~
Quite a high amount of reviews on the upcoming Extra Booster Vol.2, Trial Decks and Boosters.
From BF-EB02, <Armorknight Bahamut>, a Size 3 with 11000 Attack and Defense! [Call Cost] Discard 1 monster from field and pay 3 gauge. When monster enter field, player gain 4 lifepoints! Yet another must add super Attack monster to add to the Danger World Deck.
(left) A stronger rendition of the Duel Dragon Demongol, <Fighting God Dragon, Demongodol Ark>. Size 2, with a 7000 Attack, 2 Crit, 4000 Defense. Takes 3 gauges as a [Call Cost] and [Soulguard] on top of an existing Duel Dragon on field~ On top of that, it has a new skill [Counter] [Act] that Destroys any opponent Weapon Attacks by discarding 1 card from hand.
(right) Yes, its Magic World's Asmodai! in Danger World!!! <Armorknight Asmodai> Size 1 with 5000 Attack, 2 Crit and 1000 Defense. Takes 1 gauge and 1 monster from the players field to call and its [Act] Destroys BOTH left and right monsters on the opponent field when it enters the Field~ Neat card to clear the field off any 'Gao Formation' layouts.
This card, <Armorknight Goblin> has a very interesting attribute. Though a Size 0, 1 Crit with a low 1000 Attack and Defense, this card allows the player to put a Size 1 'Armorknight' Monster from the Dropzone into the soul. And when it is destroyed, the card in its soul, goes to the players hand~ A very good card to return cards like <Armorknight Asmodai> to your hand.
And yes, more Dragon World Support. New sub-class in fact. The 'Sky Knights' class specializes in 'Healing'. <Azure Sky Knights, Drum>(left) and <Azure Sky Knights Leader, Crimson Arrow Dragon>(right) both have Healing attributes, Drum when it Attacks and Crimson Arrow when a 'Sky Knight' is in the dropzone when it enters the field, gain 2 life.
A new version of the 'Jackknife' is also added in the review. <Jackknife, Savior>(bottom) Size 2, 6000 Attack, 3 Crit, 5000 Defense. This time with [Move] ability and [Soulguard]. So when combine with the 'Jackknife' soulguard loop combo, the <Jackknife, Savior> is a moving shield with 4 turn tanking power. (note:gauge intensive thou)
Another Size 1 with [Penetrate] is also added to the release. <Warhammer Dragon> 3000 Attack, 2 Crit, 2000 Defense. [Call Cost] 1 Gauge.
CoroCoro even added a review on the NEW "Garugantua Punisher" Dragon Saber~
The new 5 Critical Impact! <Gou zan! Gargantua Punisher!" in short, when opponent has 5 or less lifepoint, both players no center monsters, pay 5 gauge and deal 5 Crit. Same no negate nor reduce is allowed.
The Ultimate Form of the Jackknife Dragon is also revealed <Jackknife, Goldlitter>! This Jackknife is an <ITEM>, yes, not a size monster on field but can be equipped as an <Item> With a 5 Critical, 10000 Attack and Defense with [Penetrate], It comes with a harsh [Call Cost]. The player's Lifepoint must be 5 and below, A 'Jackknife' monster with at least 3 cards in its Soul must be discarded from Field and Pay 2 Gauge. A hefty 6 card to dropzone [Call Cost]!
But when this card is equipped, it Cannot be Destroyed or Returned to hand! WUT!!!! Thou it is classed as an <Item> it is to be regarded as a Size 3 count when in field, so you Cannot call another sized monster on the field. Any Link attack combos deal to the player will also be limited to 2 Critical points. So if player link attacks a 4 Damage point, it will become 2. If your link attack only deals 1 Critical, it will still deal 2. Simple.
So to defeat the restriction for Critical Damage, Don't Link attack.
A few Monsters from the new <Darkness Dragon World> are also revealed. <Darkness W> has the special ability to deal Critical Damages indirectly to the opponent. The above, <Dead Dragon, Death Gaze Dragon> Size 1, 6000 Attack, 1 Crit, 1000 Defense. [Call Cost] 1 Gauge. has the ability to Deal 2 Critical to the opponent when it Destroys an opponent monster.
So if a link attack of three <Dead Dragon, Death Gaze Dragon> destroys a monster, the opponent takes 6 Critical Damage!!!!!
Other Monster like <Bloody Moon Dragon>(left) Size 2, 7000 Attack, 2 Crit, 1000 Defense.Deals 1 Crit Damage to opponent when an opponent monster is Destroyed.
<Death Ruler, Bariol>(right) Size 1, 1000 Attack and Defense, 2 Crit. is able to deal damage to the opponent player even when there is a monster in the center position!

Together with the releases of the Buddyfight BT03, TD04/05, comes 'CoroCoro Special Edition Double Deck Book'!!!
This Player Deck Compilation Book Guide comes with a few Goodies.
Two Half Decks (26 Magic World and 26 Danger World), Two special art Life Counters and Dungeon World Heroes Card Sleeves (52pcs)!!!
Magic World half deck layout~
New cards include, "Super Tough! Asmodai" which has [Soulguard] and ability to discard a card from hand when the card enters the field to Destroy 1 opponent monster and put another 1 back to the opponents hand! And also "Healing Hand of Wind, Lispel" which let player gain 1 lifepoint when it enters the field.
Danger World half deck layout~
New cards include, "Armorknight Cerberus '10000'", 1 cost, 10000 Attack power, only can be called to Left. And also Size 0, "Armorknight Cobra" with 2 Critical points at 1 cost. great addition to the Danger World Size 0 family.
The Limited Dungeon World Heroes Sleeves however is a low quality foil sleeve, not recommended to be used on its own, advisable to only use with a good quality outer sleeve if you do not want any fold marks or corners. Fragile.
Set back aside, the Book comes with a Fold-out page...
Its a A2 Sized "Top 10 Used Cards of Each World" poster!!! And just when i thought the surprise ends...
The behind is a Buddyfight Playmat with the comic art of Tasuku and Gao with their Buddies! I am so glad of the design and colors of this playmat, gonna get it laminated or hard filed.
The Book itself contains information in Previous released Buddyfight articles in CoroCoro Comics. Also have deck lists and pointers.
The back half of the book have short Buddyfight comics.
Overall the "CoroCoro Special Edition Double Deck Book" is a good collectors item, although the two half decks are in Japanese and Sleeves aren't that great quality, it is still a great buy will all the information, colorful pages, cardlists, recommendation, and the EPIC Playmat! This is a great Book to have go Get Yours today at Local Kinokuniya Bookstores in SG. While LIMITED STOCK Last!!!
The English version of the third Buddyfight Booster Volume is finally here~!
Here's a short review on what comes in this exciting New BT!!!
The New BT03 comes with a Random design Life Counter* (1/4), a Random PR Card (1/4), New Dungeon World Flag and a neat Rubber based Playmat (4 Per Carton) featuring the 3 Drums from Magic, Dungeon and Dragon Worlds!
This Booster Edition come with 4 Worlds +1 Generic Types and the Average Ratio per Box are as above.
DrW: 40%
DugW: 30%
KatW: 13%
MagW: 10%
GenR: 7%
Hit rate for the Box i recieved is: SP:1, RRR:2. RR:5.
Something special from this BT release and hopefully in future releases is the C/U/R Parallel Foils. Basically its a Random Foil for normal previous non-foil cards.
From this Box (Aprx 6 per box.) so total foils in this BT03 is 14. thats almost half the packs in a Box!
Another new feature is the Life Counter, It increases its life setting on one column to 12 instead of 10. So max life now can go up to 24~
Sample for Dragon World (Part 1)
Lots of Thunder Knights with some new Armordragons and new sub class Dragon Knights, Shinsengumi class.
DrW (Part 2)
New Impact incudes a downsized Gagantua Punisher, "Barbarish Anger", Impact Counter, "Gospelof White Dragon Deity" and also Spells that Keep Size 2 and Above on Field when Destroyed.
New Dungeon World (Part 1)
A good mix of Adventurers and Dungeon Monsters, but its like 1 piece each mostly.
DugW (Part 2)
Very little Spells for this Box, a comfortable amount of Items (Without the Crucial, Armor Item in Anime, sheesh RRs)
Katana World
Not much additions but does have some interesting Spells that Immobilize Left and Right Monsters from Attacking/being Attack. and also Rest Monsters on Field via Counter.
Magic World
Didn't have any 72 Pillers in the Monster stash but a handfull of New Wizards to add to Collection.
Generic World \(*o*)/ ~ok i AM bias.
that being said, I am happy with the New Size 0 and Size 1 additions, also the 'Counter Impact and Destroy Card without Cost with Tarots in field!?!?!" Loving it~
Overall, i can say that peeps going for this BT03 need to at least get a pool of maybe 4 Boxes if you are serious on getting some pretty rare cards due to its low hit rate. Some RRs can be a pain to get sometimes if you are stashing 4 pieces. Might wanna share around with peeps getting.
Dungeon World is pretty strange. My first impression of it, Link Attack, Chance and Expensive.
Well DugW emphasize on Adventurer's Link Attacks to activate effects like [Penetrate], Gauge Steal/Plus, [Double Attack]...etc. This World also plays alot on Chance and Random effects on Both Parties, Also, some useful RRs from this World are pretty difficult to add to your collection if you do not wish to spend moolahs on them.
I do not really recommend Dungeon World if you are a Tournament player because its like having an Expensive deck with a 50/50 chance of winning, but of you are a fun player with some moolah to spare, you might just add this World to your Collection or to troll some friends.
Not in this Review is the BR of this BT03. It's from Danger World, ArmorKnight Cerberus 'A'ce. (Sorry no pic)
So go get your Booster Vol.03 now~
