Lame Cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow of Infinity Set
The biggest problem with this set is that it's great for powering up cards from other sets, like Cybernetic Revolution, but it's not very good by itself. So, unless you have lots of other cards, it's weak. There are also some serious stinker cards - the lamest of the lame is Cyber Barrier Dragon. It's so weak it hurts! The new Princess Pikeru/Curran cards are stinkers too. They're tricky to summon and they aren't very powerful.The Lowdown on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow of Infinity Set
If you're new to the game, grab some Cybernetic Revolution cards, and a structure deck or two, first. Once you have a bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, then pick up some of these cards and go kick butt!Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow of Infinity Thumbs Up:
