Boss the bosses around with OMG Bosses!, the first expansion set for the MapleStory card game. We review the cards and codes here.

It's time to get bossy with the new MapleStory card game set - OMG Bosses! The first new set for the award-winning MapleStory iTCG puts you in charge of the bosses from the online game as well as new monster leaders, letting you power-up the rest of your creatures. You've seen a few of the cards from this set with our previews, now find out how awesome the set is with our card game review!

Big Bad Bosses and New Cards

There are 60 new cards in this set with big bosses, monster leaders and more! OMG Bosses! is the first batch of new cards for the game and really gives you a bunch of new options for creating the coolest deck ever. Plus, each nine-card Booster Pack has a card code you can use to unlock bonus items in the MapleStory online game! Here's the 411 on the new cards and powers in this set.

Bosses - Supersized monsters with mega attacks, but they suck for leveling up and don't heal.

Leaders - Monsters that power up other monsters of their type.

Class Attacks - Cards that get stronger for each class card.

Shiny Rares - Foil rare cards that look awesome!

W00T & ZOMG!

The leader monsters and cards that get stronger if you stick with one class make building decks easier - just stick to your favorite class and pack all the monsters that get a boost into your deck. Boom, done. The bosses are a blast too, especially King Slime and Alishar. Wizards get the biggest boost with this set though - more blasting magic, the awesome power of Alishar, healing with Boosted Heal and the 150-damage BOOM! power of Alishar's Death Magic.

You're Not the Boss of Me!

As cool as bosses are, except for King Slime it's hard to play one before turn seven or eight and it's easy to win before then! The Leader monsters are great a one-turn boost, but they'll get clobbered as soon as your opponent gets a turn because they don't get their own power-up - except for Dark Drake's Shadow Sky!

Is it Fun Being the Boss?

Not only does this set make it easier to build decks, the boss monsters are a blast for casual games! It's also the first net set for the MapleStory card game so you totally need to grab some, especially for your wizard decks.

Thumbs Up:
