[edit] Mechanics
Force of the Breaker includes cards used by Johan Andersen and Austin O'Brien in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime series. The Gem Beasts belonging to the former are automatically placed in a player's Spell/Trap Zone after being destroyed as Continuous Spell Cards, and the Volcanic cards of the latter wield abilities that simultaneously destroy cards and inflict burn damage. In addition, the expansion boasts support for "Legacy" archetypes (in the form of Field Spell tutors), as well as more recent themes including the Aliens and Six Samurai.[1]
[edit] Notable cards
- Gem Beast Sapphire Pegasus - The "leader" of the lower-leveled Gem Beasts, this card is capable of salvaging one of its fellow Gem Beasts from its controller's hand, Deck, or Graveyard, and placing it in the Spell/Trap Zone ahead of time.
- Volcanic Devil - The most powerful "Volcanic" monster, summoned by trading in a face-up Blaze Cannon Trident, this card is capable of decimating an opponent's field and inflicting direct damage in one blow, and is furthermore an obligatory target for the attacks of an opponent's monsters as long as they remain in attack position.
- Riser the Wind Monarch - Joining the previous group of four Monarch monsters, this card is able to send a card on the field to the top of its owner's Deck in exchange for calling it forth through a Tribute Summon.
- Sky Devil Lords - Three cards named Enrise, Norreras, and Invisil. The first two can be Special Summoned only by removing a predetermined number of Light/Fairy and/or Dark/Fiend monsters from the Graveyard, and possess variations on the abilities of the dreaded "Chaos" duo, with the third negating the activation of certain cards based on what type of monster was Tributed to summon it.
- Rainbow Ancient City - Rainbow Ruin - The Field Spell of the Gem Beasts. This card stacks effects as the number of Gem Beasts in its owner's Spell/Trap Zone increases.
