In the shimmering constellation of collectible card games, a new star has emerged, beckoning Gundam enthusiasts with its allure. The Gundam Card Game’s first wave of starter decks has landed, and leading the charge is the Zeon’s Rush (ST03). This deck doesn’t just promise the excitement of iconic Zeon battles; it delivers them without any of the risks of saber singeing or bazooka battering. Suit up Gundam fans, your table is the new Gundam battlefront.
Zeon’s Rush storms onto the scene with two delectable offerings: the Standard Edition for the pragmatists among us and the Special Edition for the aesthetically inclined. Both versions are designed to deliver a punch of nostalgia merged with strategic mastery.
The Standard Edition is your immediate ticket to Gundam glory. This battlefield-ready 50-card deck doesn’t leave you fuddling with loose cards or strategizing in the dark; it’s a turnkey Gundam battle experience. With 10 Resource Cards at your disposal, you’ll fuel your relentless siege on rivals with ease. Backed by 8 Token Cards, you’ve got your metaphorical troops on standby for when things start to get dicey. And as an added throwback to the simpler days of playground card games, you’ll find a trusty paper damage counter. It’s not flashy, but it’s functional. Flip through the included rule and playsheet if Gundam warfare hasn’t yet been burned into your cerebral circuits. Lastly, the bonus pack etched with a holographic card provides the final flourish to your battle-ready ensemble. It’s shiny and shows you mean business.
But for those who like a bit of embellishment, or perhaps a mini museum of Gundam miniatures, the Special Edition cranks up that flair. Along with everything the Standard Edition provides, this upgraded package hands you three hand-heralded Gundam Assemble miniatures, perfect for tabletop trophy pieces, or perhaps, diminutive desktop melees during lunch breaks. These aren’t just any models; they’re well-detailed replicas of some of Zeon’s finest tactical machinery:
– TP-006: Char’s Zaku II, a nod to the man, the myth, the legend himself.
– TP–007A: Zaku II equipped with a Heat Hawk, tailor-made for close-dominion duels.
– TP-007B: Zaku II with a Hyper Bazooka, because sometimes, big kabooms are the answer.
As for the card list embedded within this fascinating deck, it pivots around the Red and Green colors. Fans of Char Aznable’s zealot-driven Zeon forces or those partial to Full Frontal’s Neo Zeon cadre will find their loyalties richly rewarded. Zeon wouldn’t be Zeon without an abundance of Zaku action, and this deck provides plenty because, let’s face it, a Zaku a day keeps the enemy at bay.
Common cards come well-loaded with iconic units like Angelo’s Geara Zulu [AMS-129], the original Zaku units, and of course, Char Aznable himself, in pilot form. The card names read like a who’s who of Gundam grandeur with entries like Ramba Ral—The Blue Giant ingrained not only on the battlefield but in the annals of our collective card gaming consciousness. Each card has its role, from the units to the bases, ensuring your strategy is ever potent.
The Special Edition further tantalizes with the promise of Legendary Rares. Their reveal remains tantalizingly out of reach, their mystery as magnetic as Zeon’s revered battle cries.
Whether you’re a budding pilot still learning to maneuver the nuances of tactical acumen, or a battle-hardened commander, your deck and your destiny are intertwined. As the echoes of “Sieg Zeon!” reverberate through the cosmos, clutching your deck becomes akin to gripping the controls of your very own mobile suit.
Engage with Zeon’s Rush, and step onto the battlefield that celebrates the timeless tales of heroism, conflict, and camaraderie that define the Gundam saga. Battle with brilliance, forge alliances through card play, and etch your narrative onto the history of Zeon’s Rush.
Suit up, commanders. Your decks await.
