Duel Masters: Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures Review

Dec 27, 2006

Giant monsters are evolving their way into even bigger beasts in the new Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures expansion set for the Duel Masters card game! Packed with 60 new cards to collect and duel with, you'll be able to unleash clones, avatars and more with these cards. Here's the scoop on what's in the set with Gary's card game review.

Duel Masters - Clones, Evolved Beasts and More New Cards!

The Shockwaves of the Shattered Rainbow brought multicolored monsters to Duel Masters and there are tons more in this set! Plus, clone cards and Vortex Evolution monsters. Here's the 411 on what's new.

  • Vortex Evolution - Evolve two creatures into one giant beast with these cards! They're hard to use, but split back into the original two monsters if they're destroyed.
  • Clone Cards - These cards have a power you can use once, plus once more for each copy of the card in any Graveyard.
  • Evolution Commanders - Evolve one of these monsters to power up all the creatures they can evolve from. And, they evolve from two types of creatures for double the fun!
  • Duel Masters - Evolving Your Way to Victory

    One sweet fact about the Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures set for Duel Masters is that none of the cards cost a lot of Mana to play! This lets you pack 'em into nearly any deck easily. There are also a whole bunch of powerful multicolored cards. Clone cards are solid if you can pack your deck full of them and evolution commanders are great for boosting theme decks, like Gary's Veggie Revenge deck! Finally, Vortex Evolution cards will blast your opponent into next week's math class if you can make 'em work!

    Duel Masters - Misshapen Mutants and Half-Baked Clones

    As cool as Vortex Evolution cards are, they're hard to use and you basically lose a creature when you play them! Clone cards can bite you in the butt if your opponent is using them, cuz they power-up from any Graveyard, not just yours. And, finally, evolution commander cards are powerful, but it's hard to keep more than one or two creatures alive so their power-up doesn't work very well.

    Duel Masters - Awesome or Awful Multicolored Hybrid Clones?

    Most of the cards in this set are solid and will work in all kinds of decks, but the cool cards are hard to use. Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures does add more multicolored creatures though, and none of the cards cost too much Mana. That helps it kick butt, just like the awesome artwork on all the cards!
