LODT-ENSE?
Soul Rope

You can activate this card when a Monster on your Field is destroyed and goes to a Cemetery. Pay 1000 Life Points and you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 Monster from your deck.



// Since there is some problem in understanding these passages:

"20 cards exclusive to American and European regions" is in regard to the set like it was in Japan. Light of Destruction will include a total of 100 cards unlike the OCG's 80 cards, so 20 cards that are exclusive in the UDE release of the set.
On the other hand, " featuring 10 cards exclusive to Upper Deck and 10 cards previously only released in Japan", isn't neglecting the other statement. It just details what those 20 cards will be divided into

OMFG

Where do I start? First, Lightsworn is waaaaaaaaaaaaay cooler than Lightmasters, the other option that, IMHO, seemed the most likely one. 20 TCG only Cards means no more catching up with OCG through Boosters, mixed feelings about this one. About the Promos... Soul Rope is my favorite OCG-only Card and Kuraz isn't too bad either. This is one great SE!

isca24 - 1. Mar, 19:14

could be interesting

this one could be interesting.. releasing the final monarch 2 months after the dark emperor structure deck. soul rope seems to be a pretty decent card and kuraz is pretty good even if it isnt in a monarch deck.. definitely will get a few of these

cybergx - 2. Mar, 10:53

Ya, Kuraz is really good. His major disadvantage is his ability to not attack. And good thing he has that effect. I think he is the only Monarch that ive seen that doesn't give the player an immediate advantage. He is VERY good in a OTK deck though.
So, there are 7 Monarchs, 1 of THUNDER, 1 for ICE/WATER, 1 for FiRE, 1 for ROCK, 1 for WIND, 1 for DARK and 1 for LIGHT, right? That would mean that Zborg isn't the LIGHT monarch everyone was saying. So, now it could be possible that they make another Earth monarch, abd naybe 1 for a select few of Types? Ihope they don't do that...
I don't know about you guys, but I still like Lightlord better than Lightsworn...
Forrenz - 2. Mar, 12:15

Kuraz was a Jump promo, and came out one month after the Emperor SD. So to see Kuraz won't be in Shonen jump is a big relief...
Red-Eyes Darkness Girl - 3. Mar, 09:32

lol

Nope, this card isn't a Monarch like the rest, he's not part of the Monarch set.
cybergx - 3. Mar, 14:52

How is he not like the Monarchs? He has Monarch in his name?
hamsterworld - 1. Mar, 23:51

re light se promo

wow XD

ShiroRyu - 2. Mar, 00:05

Sweet!

Some decent promos! Kuraz is a decent name for the Monarch IMO, and Soul Rope sounds pretty sweet too, especially with those 'cannot be normal summoned or set' cards like RareMetal Dragon, or cards with neat on-summon effects like Sapphire Pegasus, Stratos and Armageddon Knight.
And DAMN does Lightsworn sound awesome! I was thinking of not getting many LoTD cards originally but the Lightsworn monsters are rapidly changing my mind! XD

cybergx - 2. Mar, 10:55

Soul Rope

Doesn't Soul rope only work when the monster is desroyed bu a card effect? I swear it does...

Forrenz - 2. Mar, 12:22

Lightsworn/Lightlords

I'm still iffy on the Lightlords/Lightsworn/what-have-you...
It's just too easy to deck out with them, even with he 60-max cards per deck being ruled soon. The only thought I have is that some of the TCG-X cards are to help this fatal flaw...
I'm also hoping they may make other cards Saiou/Sartorius used real, instead of being dependant on th OCG for them. And no 'Light Ruler' yet!?

ShiroRyu - 2. Mar, 12:39

It would've made sense if Light Ruler was one of the added cards, but apparently UDE aren't that sensible. I would've liked to see more OCG cards in this set, but all we get is TCG-only. Hopefully we will see some Lightsworn extra support. I think generally Lightsworn would run at least a couple Pot of Avarices. A shame they're REALLY vulnerable to Macro, more so than other decks.
cybergx - 2. Mar, 15:36

Lightlords

Ya, with the Lightlords mandatory effect, those cards will get removed from play, and you know what happens after that? No Judgement Dragoon for the Lightlord player. But the Lightlords have a somewhat good drawing engine, using Garos to draw up to 2 cards. The deckcan deck out a lot, and they DO need extra support. If only they could get a card that says that you have the option to discard cards from your deck... And to bad that now with the release of the Lightlords, Exchange of the Spirit will never come back on the Limited List, but thats good news for Traditional Players.
Forrenz - 3. Mar, 13:15

Yeah, then any possible support cards you may be packing would be ditched by the effect you're trying to counteract...

re light lords

dimention fusion mircle dig burial from another dimention DD master inpending struture deck cards
cybergx - 5. Mar, 12:57

The Lightlords don't work that way. Theywould send so many cards yo your RFG pile that Burial wouldn't even help. Dimension Fusio is limited to 1 , so the chances of drawingit is slim. The chances of discarding it? 3x better than drawing it. DD Master doesn't fit in a Lightlord deck either. If you take away one of the tributes for a Lightlord deck, the dek gets weaker as a whole. And barely any of the cards from the new Structure Deck will help. You will need a card that says 'Put all cards in your RFG zone to your deck" so that the Lightlords had a fair chance against Macro.
ScottAtem666 - 2. Mar, 12:53

WTF

You DO know that 1) this hasn't been confirmed by UDE and 2) its from Pojo. I think that the second point there is enough not to believe this =/

wolfchadren - 2. Mar, 14:37

Also

It's also kind of stupid that the TCG card names and special promo's aren't known yet. A Special Edition comes about a month later out then the original set. But that information would be faster then the set. So it's not likely that this information is correct.
arapokemaster - 2. Mar, 19:33

Hmmm.Why did they anounce this so early.They almost always say more info about the special editions alittle after the sets actual release.

cybergx - 3. Mar, 14:43

Just maybe...

that they might have a change of heart? Especially with the rarities?
Red-Eyes Darkness Girl - 5. Mar, 10:01

Just Because

Just because he has "Monarch" in his name doesn't meen squat, that's like "Archfiend" monsters. In the Japanese version his name doesn't follow the simular Kanji used for the other monarchs.

ShiroRyu - 5. Mar, 11:24

Actually it does.
cybergx - 5. Mar, 13:00

The new Trap Card from the new Structure Deck doesn't follow the Kanji if that is the card you were talking about. It's called Emperor Order.

Oh, and the Light of Destruction Booster Pack information (not thispage, the other one) says that LODT will have 10 TCG onlys and 10 OCG onlys. So, which one is correct? Bah, we're going to have to wait for more info about the set...
arapokemaster - 5. Mar, 18:27

I guess you're getting this card mixed up with emperor setem card that was released with this card in japan.
Dan_the_Dark_Monarch - 17. Mar, 03:22

broken promos

kuraz will be huge! DDT/explosion will get such a boost. soul rope is pretty good too...dude, they gotta make arms hole a promo sometime soon...

Forrenz - 7. May, 19:29

As far as I see it, it still isn't even officially announced yet, right? Otherwise we'd have pics now or pretty soon...
