Dawn of the Xyz Starter Deck

The newest kind of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG monsters are here! And they’ve come from DEEP SPACE!

Xyz Monsters are made from anti-matter, and have traveled here from the other side of a black hole. They’re landing in Duels at the speed of light, ready to kick butt and take names.

What’s an Xyz Monster?

First things first: It’s pronounced ik-seez. (You say it like a word. Don’t just spell out the letters!)

Xyz Monsters get their name because they’re so easy to Summon. You can make Xyz Monsters from anything: any monster Type, any Attribute, any theme. You can make monsters that look like giant toys, or fearsome dragons, or even monsters that are made of numbers. You can make them out of anything, even the letters x, y, and z.

Since they’ve traveled through a black hole to enter our universe, Xyz Monsters live in Reverse Time, so they do lots of things backwards:

Xyz Monsters are pitch-black.

The letters on them are bright white.

They have a Rank instead of a Level (with yellow & black stars, instead of yellow & red)

Their stars are on the left instead of the right.

But the weirdest thing of all is that whenever you Summon an Xyz Monster, the stuff you used to make it sort of sticks around!
