“Mythical Beast” Special Feature: Pendulum Monsters That Can’t Pendulum Summon!? They Develop The Game By Being In The Pendulum Zone And Using Spell Counters!!

“Extreme Force” (which went on sale October 14th, 2017), includes the “Mythical Beast” theme which is based on making its moves using Spell Counters, while utilizing the Pendulum Zone! All of the “Mythical Beast”s that appear this time around are Spellcaster Pendulum Monsters whose Pendulum Scale is “4”. Let’s check out the tactics of these brand new Pendulum Monsters that don’t need to Pendulum Summon!



Basic Characteristics of “Mythical Beast”s

Monster Effect: It has an effect to place Spell Counters on it & They have powerful effects that use Spell Counters

Pendulum Effect: They have powerful Pendulum Effects that support the developments of allies

(By activating them as Spell Cards by the Pendulum Zone, it makes a combo by placing Spell Counters on your allies!!)

“Mythical Beast” Pendulum Monsters all have a Monster Effect that place Spell Counters on them whenever a Spell Card is activated.

(★ For what it’s worth, in the case of high Level “Mythical Beast”s, two Spell Counters are placed on them!!)

And, each of the “Mythical Beast”s have a powerful effect that lets you remove the Spell Counters you gain to make use of powerful effects!

And, besides using them as monsters, Pendulum Monsters are Spell Cards when activated in the Pendulum Zone, meaning you bring out effects by placing Spell Counters on your allies! Also, each card’s effect is also strong, meaning they strongly support playing “Mythical Beasts”!

▶ What is a Counter? ◀

A Counter is a marker placed on a card on the field due to things such as card effects.

These cards can accumulate multiple counters, so make sure you have some means of keeping track of the Duel without your markers being intrusive or obstructive!
