"Hidden Arsenal is a new booster pack, that brings you a 30 card set from the Duel Terminal arcade machine series, previously available only in Japan.

Each pack contains 5 all foil cards from the first Duel Terminal card series.

Introduces the "Ice Barrier", "Mist Valley", and "Worm" Archetypes to the TCG as well as more support for "Ally of Justice", "Flamvell", and "X-Saber" cards."



There are only three cards they say are officially revealed: Brionic, Dragon of Ice Barrier, Mist Wurm and Ally of Justice Catastor. All cards I'm sure we'd like to have. If it contains every card from Duel Terminal 1 it will contain all the cards in this LINK

US release date 10 November, 2009

Mist Wurm isn't broken, he just sounds good. The only time I've ever effectively used it is (I think it's only been one time) I returned all my opponents cards and attacked for game, and I didn't even have to.

Catastor also sounds a lot better than he is, but he's still really good. There's a quite a fair amount of cards that are commonly run that beat it. Ex. generic spell and trap destruction, a crudload Dark of synchros, Stardust, Gorz, Skill Drain Decks, Spirit Reaper, and a handful of other stuff. You'd be surprised how many decks run cards than can move around catastor effectively.

Brionic is limited to one, but ya, he's crazy.

OK, sorry for a double post. This is kinda a pseudo-bump post.

I've linked to the cards in Japanese. I'm not 100% sure that I got the right card on some, but I'm near 100% sure.
Newly Revealed Cards:
Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier
X-Saber Uruz
Commander Gottoms - Swordmaster
Ally of Justice Rudra
Blizzed, Defender of the Ice barrier
X-Saber Axel
Ally of Justice Clausolas

With the revealing of these cards it becomes even more plausible that this pack is just a replica version of Duel Terminal 1 since all of those cards came out in that Duel Terminal.

It should also be noticed that there are far less cards in this pack than in the first Duel Terminal though. 50 cards where in the original Duel Terminal and there are 30 cards in Hidden Arsenal. Interestingly enough though 20 of the cards in Duel Terminal 1 exist as American cards. (I didn't count cards that just recently came out like Urbellum, Airbellum and Catastor) This would lead me to believe that only the 30 remaining cards will be in Hidden Arsenal.

Also, sorry Max, Goyo Guardian came out in Duel Terminal 2.

More news, Happy Birthday!

Interesting note: the pack will probably consist of 4 Spells and 26 Monsters.

As I said before, each pack contains 5 cards. In each pack is 1 Secret Rare and 4 Super Rares.

There's 15 Secret Rares and 15 Super Rares in all. I thought that was an odd proportioning of rarities.

As of now these are the cards confirmed to be Secret Rare, meaning they'll be the hardest to get:
Evolution Burst (Cyber Dragon Support...)
Blizzed, Defender of the Ice Barrier (lame)
Mist Valley Thunderbird (double lame)
Mist Valley Soldier
Flamvell Uruquizas
X-Saber Urbellum
Ally of Justice Catastor
Neos Wrath

Also, since I've been asked prior what to look for in Hidden Arsenal (specifically by Max), here is a list of cards to be looking for that are coming out in this pack and why. Some of the names are still unknown in English. Don't read any further unless you want to know to the cards. I don't want to make a gynormo spoiler box.

Mist Valley Soldier
Level 4, Tuner and 1700 ATK is just a great combo. Also, he has a decent anti-stall effect.

Flamvell Magician
Also a level 4 and a Tuner but this one has 1400 ATK making it UFO Turtle Search-able. He's also a Spellcaster making him accessible to all that stuff as well. Also, having 200 DEF makes it a clear favorite for what I'm predicting to be some really good remove from play FIRE Synchro decks. Also, his attack goes up to 1800 if you have an Ally of Justice monster. Not to helpful because the only one you'll probably have is Catastor. Also, he's a "common."

Flamvell Dragnov
When it's destroyed by battle it deals 500 damage and when it's in the Graveyard it can remove itself and and a face-up fire monster from play. Good for the previously mentioned deck. He also searches himself when he removes from play himself and another monster. This card is also a "common."

Guard of Flamvell
An interesting card. He's a Level 1 Tuner, Normal Monster. Since he has 100 ATK 2000 DEF he's really easy to move around in a normal Synchro Deck. He'll get more priority over the prior level 1 Normal Tuner Water Spirit who wasn't really good except he was Normal. This card is also a "common."

Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier
A level 2 Tuner. Aqua and WATER. If you run a frog deck scream wildly because this monster is stronger than Submarine Frog! 1300 ATK! Wetlands Beat-Down! DIE! DIE! DIE!

X-Saber Airbellum
If you didn't already know about this card than you should. Level 3 Tuner that can be searched by Rescue Cat. Kapow!

Worm Apocalypse
Not an amazing card, but it has possibilities. "FLIP: destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field." Could be good in a Morphing Jar #2 deck. I also just like the effect in general. This card is also a "common."

Neos Wrath (Spell)
I hope this card starts getting some good use because it's amazing. By returning one face-up Neos to your deck you can destroy every card on the field. Total hax if I might say so myself. Good for Big City Beat-Down decks. A Neospacian Deck if you ever think of a good one. Or Neos Wiseman deck, it'll level up your Yubel nicely.

Ally of Justice Catastor
Destroys any non-DARK monster without battle when it attacks it. You should know that, and you should put one in every deck you ever make.

Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
You should already know so I wont say... Limited to 1 before he even existed in America. That's all you need to know. <_< >_>

Mist Wurm
The first, all deck accessible 9 star Synchro. Requires 3 monsters min. (most require only 2) When summoned he returns 3 cards your opponent controls to there hand. The ultimate finisher. Expect this to be an Extra Deck staple.

Flamvell Urquizas
A good level 6 Synchro. 2100 ATK and piercing. He gains 300 ATK every time he inflicts battle damage. Unfortunately he does not have 200 DEF so he doesn't feed a lot of Flamvell support cards. Still really good though. I'll be running one.

...and then there's 18 other "meh" cards. Some possibly good if you plan to run there deck. Ex. X-Sabers, Worms, Ally of Justice, Ice Barrier or Mist Valley.

In the future the X-Saber, Ice Barrier and Mist Valley cards look like they'll get some pretty good support, meaning you may want the "meh" cards from those sets. Ally of Justice is garbage and worms are really weird. Worms have potential but you'll have to think hard to get it right.

Thanks for the continuing updates cube! I'm sure we're all awaiting the release of what promises to be a very monumental pack. I personally cant wait to add Brionac, Mist Wurm, and Catastor to my extra deck. Just great toolbox cards that will no doubt help any deck against many tough matchups, IE Lightsworn, BW, and Glad-beasts. And if you run those decks it will help for the mirror match (Whoever summons Brionac first wins! ;)).

Lets give a big hand to our special corespondent Lightsworn, who is now lying dead in a ditch. In other news, Stardust Overdrive will be released in a little over 2 weeks. With such great cards like Dark Simorgh, Clear World, Majestic Star Dragon, Ice Queen, and Divine Grace - Northwemko, (Almost all of which were not pulled at the sneak which I attended in Mukilteo. The exception being a single copy of Dark Simorgh) its no wonder people are revving up their engines, because the duel is about to shift in overdrive! Stardust Overdrive!

My friend, who has an account here but never posts, pulled an Ice Queen. I think someone got a Majestic Star Dragon at the pre release I was at, but I could be wrong.
