Premium Pack 13

New HERO support makes this Asian boy very happy :D

PP13-JP010
Hero Arrive
Spell Normal
Activate only by paying half of your Life Points while you control no face-up monsters. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "HERO" monster from your Deck.

First the new E.HERO support. E-Emergency Call is way better than this thing, mostly because it isn't as costly. I feel like it's a cool card to pull into late game but that's it. A Stratos or Bubbleman (plus the draw two) should not be worth 4000 LP.

PP13-JP007
Vision Hero Adoration
Dark Warrior
LV8 2800/2100
Fusion - 2 x "HERO" monsters
Once per turn, you can select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and 1 face-up "HERO" monster other than this card you control. The monster your opponent controls loses ATK and DEF equal to the ATK of the monster you control until the End Phase.

Yayy for generic HERO fusion! A decent target for Future Fusion but slightly outclassed by Vision Hero Trinity. It's effect would be a lot nicer if you could choose Adoration himself though. In my opinion, he's a more flexible but limited Gaia. Unlike Gaia though, you can activate his effect once per turn and not just when he is summoned.

PP13-JP009
Mask Change
Spell Quick-Play
Activate by selecting 1 face-up "HERO" monster you control. Send the selected monster to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 "Masked Hero" monster with the same Attribute from your Extra Deck.

Henshin! This is the card that will change change HERO decks everywhere (as soon as more Masked Heroes are released of course). Chain this card to a Bottomless Trap, Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, etc. to dodge destruction and call forth a new Masked Hero! I'm so glad they didn't print this card with the manga effect because while the +2 Levels was an interesting concept, it would have restricted the M.HEROES way too much unless we had a M.HERO for every level and attribute. Of course, our choices are still very limited at the moment since we only have Goka and Vapor but it's still a decent card. It will tech very well with Absolute Zero decks of course and will become much better when we get Masked Hero Daian and Maskd Hero Dark Law.

PP13-JP005
Masked Hero Goka
Fire Warrior
LV6 2200/1800
Fusion - This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Mask Change". This card gains 100 ATK for each "HERO" monster in your Graveyard.

As of now, we can "Transformation Summon" Goka using E.HERO Burst Lady, Lady Heat, the Heat, Flare Neos, Fire Blast, Nova Master, or M.HERO Goka himself. I'll most likely be using Mask Change in conjunction with Heat or Nova Master to bring this bad boy out. To be honest, I find him very cool looking but not all that great effect wise. An option for Masked Change but that's it. He's basically a weaker version of E.HERO Shining Flare Wingman without the awesome burn. I would only put one in my Extra Deck just for the sake of toolboxing. Who knows? This guy might just save my butt late game.

PP13-JP006
Masked Hero Vapor
Water warrior
LV6 2400/2000
Fusion - This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Mask Change". This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters.

My favorite Masked Hero that is released at the moment. Although not cooler than M.HERO Goka, his effect is definitely an improvement. Our options for the "Transformation Summon" are E.HERO Bubbleman, Bubbleman Neo, Ice Edge, Sailorman, Aqua Neos, Marine Neos, and of course Vapor. Oh, did I forget to mention Absolute Zero? In case you can't put it together, chain this card to a Mirror Force, release E.HERO Absolute Zero and summon Vapor. Vapor isn't destroyed by Mirror Force and your opponent's monsters get nuked instead. GG! You can also use E.HERO Ice Edge's effect to clear the field of any Compulsory Evacuation Device or Dimensional Prison that might mess with Vapor and then Mask Change into Vapor.

Gotcha~
