Zefra Monsters!

The Crossed Souls booster set gives you the power to create your own ultimate crossover Deck!

By John Bae May 07, 2015

The Crossed Souls booster is set to be a real summer blockbuster! Five teams of monsters from the last year of Dueling team up and gain the power of Pendulum Summoning to let you create your own ultimate crossover Deck!

Shaddolls, 'tellarknights, Yang Zing, Nekroz, and Ritual Beast Tamers have had more than their fair share of differences in the past, but in Crossed Souls, two members of each group have joined together to become the Zefra, an army of Pendulum Monsters! Every Zefra monster also remains part of its original monster family and has powers similar to the rest of the monsters in that family. For example, 'tellarknights have abilities that activate when they're Summoned. Satellarknight Zefrathuban and Stellarknight Zefraxciton have abilities that activate when they're Normal, Flip or Pendulum Summoned.

There are a lot of different ways you can use Zefra monsters, but the easiest way to do it is to just add some to the Deck you already play! Adding Satellarknight Zefrathuban and Stellarknight Zefraxciton to your 'tellarknight Deck gives you the ability to destroy any card your opponent plays but also gives you the power to Pendulum Summon all your other 'tellarknights so you can activate their effects and Xyz Summon. Adding Zefraxi, Treasure of the Yang Zing and Zefraniu, Secret of the Yang Zing to your Yang Zing Deck gives you an infinite supply of Tuner monsters, increases the reach of your Synchro Summon ability and lets you search out key cards like Yang Zing Creation and Yang Zing Path instead of just waiting to draw them. And of course, you also get the ability to Pendulum Summon lots of Synchro Materials from your hand!

Another way you can use Zefra monsters is to combine previously incompatible strategies together into a new super-Deck! 'tellarknights can't use Synchro Monsters on their own, but if you add Zefraxi, Treasure of the Yang Zing to your Deck along with the new 'tellarknight Zefra monsters, you gain the ability to Synchro Summon on top of all the other benefits you get from using Zefra monsters! If you flip it around the other way, Yang Zing have always struggled to destroy their opponent's cards without Synchro Summoning. By adding Satellarknight Zefrathuban and Stellarknight Zefraxciton along with the Yang Zing Zefra monsters, Yang Zing Decks gain the ability to clear out opposing Spell, Trap, and Monster Cards before Synchro Summoning, making it much safer to play your best monsters.

You can make your own cool crossover strategy when Crossed Souls launches on May 15 or get a head start at the Sneak Peeks on May 9 and/or 10!
