Millenium Pack!

Take a walk on the dark side of Dueling with Marik's cards!

By John Bae April 14, 2016

When the villainous Marik finally revealed himself in the Battle City Quarterfinals, he brought a Deck based all around his Egyptian God Card, The Winged Dragon of Ra! With the release of the Millennium Pack, you can finally recreate the devastating strategies he used to dispatch his opponents en route to his final Duel with Yugi!

The crux of Marik’s strategy was repeatedly unleashing the final form of Ra, The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoneix! The Immortal Phoenix has 4000 ATK and DEF and can burn away monsters for 1000 LP each, but its power only lasts one turn before it reverts back into The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode. To help accomplish this feat, Marik used Left Arm Offering to trade all the cards in his hand for whatever Spell Card was necessary to bring back Ra, and now you can do the same!

If you haven’t Set any Spell/Trap Cards and have at least two other cards in your hand, you can activate Left Arm Offering and banish every card left in your hand to add ANY Spell Card in your Deck to your hand! There are many super powerful Spell Cards out there that you’re only allowed to play one copy of in tournaments, and Left Arm Offering can ensure you see those cards every single Duel—for a price!

The other important parts of the equation in Marik’s strategy were making sure that his opponent was helpless to stop Ra’s attacks and that he survived long enough to draw and Summon Ra. To help with the latter, he used Holding Arms to pin down opponent’s monsters. When Holding Arms is Normal or Special Summoned, you can negate the effects of any enemy monster and prevent it from attacking while Holding Arms is on the field. Holding Arms also can’t be destroyed for as long as the monster it’s targeting remains on the field, creating a double wall between your opponent and your LP.

Holding Legs handles the offense part of the equation, returning all Set Spell/Trap Cards on the field to the hand when you Summon it. It’s also a great monster to Tribute for The Winged Dragon of Ra or The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode because Holding Legs can be banished from your Graveyard to pin down one of your opponent’s Set Spell/Trap Cards, preventing them from playing it until your next turn. Being able to shift the mode of The Winged Dragon of Ra sometimes takes more than one turn, so being able to prevent your opponent from using their Traps twice with one card, is awesome!
