Take A Sneak Peak At The Latest ‘Yu-Gi-Oh’ Expansion This Weekend With ‘Crossed Souls’
On May 15th, the next expansion in the long running Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game looks to unite five different deck types, thanks to the new omni-typed Zefra Monsters. In the Crossed Souls booster set, duelists will be able to expand their decks like never before, creating new ways to change up existing decks, or design brand new ones while taking advantage of the powerful Pendulum Summon from the latest series, Yu-Gi-Oh Arc V. With 100 cards in all, there should be plenty, of new, exciting ways to keep your opponents on their toes.
If waiting isn’t your thing, then you might want to free up your weekend. On May 9th and 10th at participating tournament official stores, a special preview event will give us the chance to pick up some of these new cards early, and enter for a chance to win a special game mat. Plus, if you happen to have a spare friend laying around who would want to learn how to play, May 9th’s event will host special beginners demos, where both you and your friend will receive a free deck box for participating while supplies last. If your friend is especially lucky, they just might win a Space-Time Showdown Super Starter set, including 3 Power-Up Packs and a rubberized game mat! Talk about making the first fix free.

El Segundo, Calif. (May 5, 2015) – Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG) fans will be eager to get together with their fellow Duelists to playtest and perfect their Deck-building skills with theCrossed Souls booster set and its bounty of new cards. Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI), a leader in the trading card game category, delivers this monstrous set to stores nationwide on May 15.
In this powerful booster set, five warring tribes of Monsters put aside their differences and gain the power to Pendulum Summon! CrossedSoulsunlocks fresh Deck-building opportunities like never before for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. This 100-card set introduces the Zefra monsters, a new monster omni-theme that crosses over five different Deck types. Zefra monsters are tied in to a popular monster group from recent sets. Duelists with Shaddolls, ’tellarknights, Yang Zing, Nekroz, or Ritual Beasts can add their new Zefra monsters to spice-up their Deck, or build a Deck entirely of Zefra monsters, tying all five together.
While their cross-theme potential and monster effects vary, all Zefra monsters can take advantage of the powerful Zefra Spell & Trap Cards like Oracle of Zefra and Chosen of Zefra in Crossed Souls, magnifying the power boost that Zefra monsters give to any Deck that includes them. At the same time, a pure Zefra Deck (or a Deck with appropriate Zefra splash) can now gain increased access to Shaddoll, ‘tellarknight, Yang Zing, Nekroz, and Ritual Beast cards!
Crossed Souls also arms Duelists with the latest non-Zefra cards for their Burning Abyss, Madolche, Infernoid, U.A., Yosenju, and other Decks. Fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and TV series will also be treated to a slew of new cards from the newest generation of the series – Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.
KONAMI is once again partnering with Official Tournament Stores to hold a Sneak Peek of this new set on Saturday and/or Sunday, May 9th – 10th, where Duelists can get a head start on creating new Decks and developing strategies to use against their peers. Duelists will also have the chance to win an exclusive Sneak Peek game mat!
