Today is just a Pack Opener day. I’ll start with opening so packs, then I’ll summon the Synchroes I have.
I have two sets to open, and I think I’ll do 20 packs of each. Starting with .
Spoiler
ABPF 1
Shreddder; Spiders' Lair; Sword Master; Fire Ant Ascator; Nature's Reflection; Advance Force; Codarus; Fiendish Chain; Reptilianne Vaskii
[collapse]
Yeah, it got better. I got four new cards.
Sword Master is a Tuner, which is nice, but its effect is basically useless and it lacks stats.
Codarus is fine, nice to have a baby Daedalus.
Fiendish Chain is OP, and I think I’ll install a copy into myself. It should fuse with my Dark Chain skill, and hopefully allow Dark Chain to prevent anyone bound by it from using their skills.
Reptilianne Vaskii is fine. Just a sha it has that ‘cannot be normal summoned or set’ restriction. Other than that, perfectly good snake lady.
… maybe I should Reverse Union with her or a different Reptilianne monster. I should gain a Naga or Lamia race from it.
Anyway, next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 3
Rose Fairy; Viper's Rebirth; Psi-Curse; Consecrated Light; Gundari; Destruct Potion; Reptilianne Gardna; Ritual Cage; Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow
[collapse]
Rose Fairy is fine in the TCG, but for , it is just a weak monster. But because she is a small fairy, she has her uses. Is she even a her? Do fairies have genders? Whatever.
Viper's Rebirth is a sucky Monster Reborn replacent. Is what I would say if it didn’t have that last effect. Seriously. Why does it destroy the summoned monster during the end phase? There is no reason to have that limitation.
Ritual Cage is great. Protects Ritual monsters from monster effects.
And sadly, Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow sucks. It tries to be GorzGorz the Emissary of Darkness, but it just isn’t.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 5
Changing Destiny; Reptilianne Rage; Serpent Suppression; Widespread Dud; Temple of the Sun; Power Invader; Nature's Reflection; Destruct Potion; Viser Des
[collapse]
Viser Des is new, but it is absolute trash.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 6
Nature's Reflection; Machine Assembly Line; Forgotten Temple of the Deep; Supay; Reptilianne Servant; Unicycular; Serpent Suppression; Consecrated Light; Cyber Dragon Zwei
[collapse]
Cyber Dragon Zwei is okay. I don’t really use Cyber Dragons as much as I should, but I do like them. And Zwei is a decent support card.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 7
Sword Master; Changing Destiny; Inforr Spider; Oilman; Call of the Reaper; Gundari; Rose Fairy; Lair Wire; Ascending Soul
[collapse]
Nothing new, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 8
Sword Master; Lair Wire; Psi-Curse; Fire Ant Ascator; Supay; Bicular; Reptilianne Naga; Machine King - 3000 B.C.; Reptilianne Vaskii
[collapse]
Nothing new, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 9
Temple of the Sun; Codarus; Serpent Suppression; Call of the Reaper; Machine Assembly Line; teor Flare; Changing Destiny; Apocatequil; Reptilianne Vaskii
[collapse]
teor Flare is new, and if it wasn’t for the restriction on activation, I’d call it great. 2000 burn damage is huge. Well, Erasure Magic for that part of the effect is always an option.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 10
Alien Brain; Weeping Idol; Call of the Reaper; Forgotten Temple of the Deep; Unicycular; Rose Fairy; Machine Assembly Line; Reptilianne Gardna; Shield Worm
[collapse]
Shield Worm is new. And it is okay. Not great, but just okay.
First 10 had 2 super rares, no other higher rarity cards.
Maybe the next ten will be better.
Spoiler
ABPF 11
Lair Wire; Serpent Suppression; Inverse Universe; Reptilianne Servant; Power Invader; Pandaborg; Machine Assembly Line; Reptilianne Naga; Chira the Flying Mythical Beast
[collapse]
I already had a Chira the Flying Mythical Beast, because I got it from the Fusion summoning challenge, but it is new from this set. And it is a decent beast.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 12
Sword Master; Lair Wire; Reptilianne Servant; Magic Hole Golem; Psi-Curse; Call of the Reaper; Spiders' Lair; Gravekeeper's Descendant; Gravekeeper's Visionary
[collapse]
Gravekeeper's Descendant is kind of h. Destruction effects are nice, but tributing another monster for it is costly.
Gravekeeper's Visionary on the other hand is great. Gains attack for each Graveskeeper in the GY, and can prevent its own destruction. Nice.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 13
Codarus; Rose Fairy; Lair Wire; Gravekeeper's Stele; Machine Assembly Line; Temple of the Sun; Pot of Benevolence; Sword Master; Djinn Cursenchanter of Rituals
[collapse]
Nothing new, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 14
Destruct Potion; Power Invader; Variety Cos Out; Power Supplier; Ritual of Destruction; Pandaborg; Spiders' Lair; Break! Draw!; Drill Synchron
[collapse]
Drill Synchron is new, and it is decently good. The piercing for all Warrior-type monsters if nice, and on top of that, it also gives a free Pack token.
Next pack.
Spoiler
ABPF 15
Spiders' Lair; Fire Ant Ascator; Alien Brain; Oilman; Bicular; Tricular; Codarus; Psi-Curse; Dark Bug
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 16
teor Flare; Supay; Oilman; Sword Master; Rose Fairy; Fire Ant Ascator; Advance Force; Majestic Red Dragon; Djinn Cursenchanter of Rituals
[collapse]
Majestic Red Dragon!!! I got it! And I didn’t even need to full send it with tons of pack tokens!
And oh boy. You know I like the Majestic Star Dragon, and arguably, it is better than its Red counterpart. But I prefer Majestic Red Dragon. Just the power. It just hits differently.
… yeah, it was a bad joke, but whatever.
Hype is real, so let’s continue.
Spoiler
ABPF 17
Serpent Suppression; Reptilianne Rage; Rose Fairy; Shreddder; Destruct Potion; Alien Brain; Apocatequil; Psi-Curse; Cyber Dragon Zwei
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 18
Consecrated Light; Oilman; Shreddder; Destruct Potion; Codarus; Machine King - 3000 B.C.; Serpent Suppression; Viper's Rebirth; Core Blast
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
ABPF 19
Machine Assembly Line; Bicular; Weeping Idol; Power Invader; Consecrated Light; Advance Force; Supay; Zeman the Ape King; Ritual Cage
[collapse]
Zeman the Ape King is new, and it is pretty nice. Prevents Spells and Traps while attacking and can negate attacks. Just nice all around.
Last pack of Absolute Powerforce.
Spoiler
ABPF 20
Spiders' Lair; Rose Fairy; Gravekeeper's Stele; Machine Assembly Line; Variety Cos Out; Serpent Suppression; Power Supplier; Drill Synchron; Super-Nimble ga Hamster
[collapse]
And the last pack had sothing new. Super-Nimble ga Hamster. It's fine. The flip effect to set another Beast is nice. And its na is amazing.
Now, ti for a set change.
is next.
Spoiler
TSHD 1
Infernity Reflector; Corridor of Agony; Silent Graveyard; Lyna the Light Charr; Infernity Break; Flare Resonator; Morphtronic Vacuun; Phantom Hand; Blackwing - Backlash
[collapse]
Corridor of Agony is interesting, but useless for . It is super debilitating for certain decks, but I think Skill Drain is still better in every way. It works on everything, and while it doesn’t do as much as Corridor of Agony, the general nature makes Skill Drain better.
Morphtronic Vacuun sucks, but I guess if I want to make a vacuum cleaner.
And Blackwing - Backlash is Mirror Force with extra steps. Doesn’t make it bad, but … Actually, considering that Mirror Force reflects the attack back at the attacker, maybe Blackwing - Backlash does sothing else, like summoning a murder of birds to bully the attacker. I need to test it out.
Spoiler
TSHD 2
Leeching the Light; Black Thunder; Genex Undine; Wattfox; Card Breaker; Infernity Break; mory Crush King; Blackwing - Backlash; Wattgiraffe
[collapse]
Genex Undine is nice. It can make new Genex Controllers.
Wattfox is h.
mory Crush King is way too situational.
Wattgiraffe if … okay. Direct attacking is not the best, but not the worst either. And the ‘Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of this turn’ is just a nice bonus.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 3
Power Break; Testudo erat Nun; Black-Winged Strafe; Synchro Magnet; X-Saber Palomuro; Genex Controller; Wattwoodpecker; Batteryman AAA; Koa'ki iru Shield
[collapse]
Synchro Magnet … why? Why can’t you be normal summoned or set? You’d actually be decent if you could.
Genex Controller is nothing special, just a normal monster tuner. But most Genex monsters require Controller, or a monster that can beco a Controller, so nice to have the actual monster.
Wattwoodpecker … should really have higher stats. Double attacking is nice, but the ‘cannot change battle position’ is trash, and with only 1000 attack, you aren’t running over much.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 4
Crevice Into the Different Dinsion; Flare Resonator; Batteryman AAA; X-Saber Palomuro; Wattcube; Morphtronic Vacuun; Synchro Magnet; Dawn of the Herald; Revival Rose
[collapse]
Revival Rose is fine. Special summoning from the GY very situationally is not bad, but not great either.
Spoiler
TSHD 5
Power Break; Koa'ki iru Initialize!; Infernity Reflector; Black Thunder; Worm Call; Genex Controller; Biofalcon; Morphtronic Vacuun; Genex Searcher
[collapse]
Genex Searcher is okay. It is a battle recruiter for Genex monsters.
Spoiler
TSHD 6
Assault Spirits; Blossom Bombardnt; Blackwing - Bombardnt; Wattfox; Ronintoadin; Infernity Randomizer; Dragon Laser; Koa'ki iru Sandman; Koa'ki iru Prototype
[collapse]
Koa'ki iru Prototype is interesting. It has no maintenance cost like all the other Koa'ki iru monsters do, instead, it can destroy itself to save another Koa'ki iru from being destroyed because of the maintenance cost, or if another Koa'ki iru is destroyed because of the maintenance cost, it summons a token. A well designed card in my opinion. Only wish it could special summon itself if you control another Koa'ki iru monster. Then it would be fantastic.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 7
Corridor of Agony; Flare Resonator; Power Break; Changer Synchron; Second Booster; Wattfox; Trigon; Koa'ki iru Sandman; Revival Rose
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
TSHD 8
Ronintoadin; Biofalcon; Flare Resonator; Testudo erat Nun; Wattwoodpecker; Synchro Magnet; Archfiend Interceptor; X-Saber Pashuul; Ally of Justice Core Destroyer
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
TSHD 9
Key Mouse; Infernity Reflector; Blossom Bombardnt; Black Thunder; Infernity Randomizer; Biofalcon; Infernity Break; mory Crush King; Blackwing - Backlash
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
TSHD 10
Morphtronic Vacuun; Black-Winged Strafe; Archfiend Interceptor; Flare Resonator; Genex Undine; Dragon Laser; Trigon; Magidog; ZERO-MAX
[collapse]
Magidog is okay. Decent stats, looks cute, yes that is important, and an effect when used as a Synchro material.
ZERO-MAX is fine, even if it is only a Monster Reborn replacent.
Also, like with Absolute Powerforce, the first 10 packs of The Shining Darkness had 2 super rares, but no other higher rarity cards. I just find that interesting.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 11
Genex Controller; Corridor of Agony; Spore; Key Mouse; Infernity Reflector; Flare Resonator; Chaos Trap Hole; Worm Call; Revival Rose
[collapse]
Spore is okay. A Tuner and it can even adjust its level.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 12
Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind; Crevice Into the Different Dinsion; Morphtronic Vacuun; Infernity Randomizer; Power Break; Corridor of Agony; Black-Winged Strafe; Biofalcon; Guard Mines
[collapse]
Guard Mines is okay. Counters effects that target and destroy a monster.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 13
Changer Synchron; Crevice Into the Different Dinsion; Assault Spirits; Chaos Trap Hole; X-Saber Pashuul; Hunter of Black Feathers; Biofalcon; Infernity Reflector; Koa'ki iru Shield
[collapse]
Nothing new here, next.
Spoiler
TSHD 14
Card Breaker; Wattcube; Crevice Into the Different Dinsion; Infernity Reflector; Testudo erat Nun; Chaos Trap Hole; Blackwing - Ghibli the Searing Wind; Flare Resonator; Cherry Inmato
[collapse]
Cherry Inmato is new and I guess it is good. It summons two Inmato monsters when destroyed by battle.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 15
Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier; Genex Controller; X-Saber Palomuro; Silent Graveyard; Archfiend Interceptor; Genex Undine; Wattfox; Infernity Beetle; Black-Winged Dragon
[collapse]
Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier is normally situational, but I can just force the requirent it has. But even then, unlimited summons, so I don’t need it.
And then there is Black-Winged Dragon. … It sucks normally, but it is actually decent for . Negating effect damage is just good, and since the dragon doesn’t have to attack, its reducing attack stat doesn’t matter that much.
So yeah. Black-Winged Dragon is nice.
Next pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 16
Assault Spirits; Wattwoodpecker; Power Break; Silent Graveyard; Ronintoadin; Infernity Break; Dragon Laser; Koa'ki iru Initialize!; Guard Mines
[collapse]
Nothing new, next.

Nothing new, next.
Spoiler
TSHD 19
Morphtronics, Scramble!; mory Crush King; Dawn of the Herald; Silent Graveyard; Crevice Into the Different Dinsion; Archfiend Interceptor; Infernity Break; Fairy Archer; Infernity Avenger
[collapse]
Infernity Avenger is another okay tuner. It is a bit too situational for my tastes, but it isn’t bad.
Next, and last, pack.
Spoiler
TSHD 20
Worm Call; Testudo erat Nun; Chaos Trap Hole; Flare Resonator; Dawn of the Herald; Morphtronic Vacuun; Assault Spirits; Synchro Magnet; Infernity Beetle
[collapse]
Sadly the last pack didn’t have anything new. And also, my second 20 of Shining Darkness only had 1 higher rarity card.
But it was the ghost rare Black-Winged Dragon, so it isn’t that bad.
Now, last thing. Summoning the Synchro monsters I have.
I don’t have that many, only seven. And that will only get one more reward. But it is still worth doing.
Those seven are Majestic Star Dragon; Majestic Red Dragon; Explosive Magician; Reptilianne Hydra; Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant; Zeman the Ape King and Black-Winged Dragon.
Spoiler
[collapse]
I claid my 80 summoned reward, Deep Sea Prima Donna and Deep Sea Artisan, summoned Prima Donna and checked what my next reward will be.

Next Reward is given at 85 unique Synchro Monsters
Next Reward: Shooting Riser Dragon Stardust Trail
Spoiler
[collapse]
Interesting rewards. Shooting Riser Dragon is nice, and I honestly do lack Synchro Tuners. Stardust Trail on the other hand is super pretty. Also, her effect practically yells: “I help in summoning Majestic Star Dragon!”
But that is all for today. See you next ti.
