Description[]

Join the race and save the Duel Masters as both creatures and humans battle in the quest for the First Gauntlet. Win with the hand you’re dealt in Kaijudo draft play with these 14 card boosters featuring savage civilization-base evolution creatures, the new “Unleash” ability, and the first “ Shield Blast” creatures.

Details[]

It is the second set to include more than 120 cards, due to the increased cards set design introduced for the Standard Constructed and Booster Draft formats.

The first set to have more than 120 cards was Rise of the Duel Masters.

It is also the first set where corresponding promos (such as the exclusive card in a deck) follow the same numbering system of the set, e.g. 13GAU. This is to easily understand which cards are in the Standard format.

The following play mechanic(s) were introduced in this set:
- Creatures that have Shield Blast (Instead of putting a creature into your hand from a broken shield, you may summon it for free.)

The following keywords(s) were introduced in this set:

Powerful Block (While blocking, the creature gets +# power.)
Unleash (To use a creature's "Unleash" ability, put a card from under it into your discard pile when it attacks.)

The following race(s) for the following civilization(s) were introduced in this set:

Darkness
- Mimic

Trivia[]

This set's release brought the introduction of the rotating constructed format to the game in the form of Standard Constructed.
This set is the fourth set to be entirely spoiled before its release.
This is the first core set in a block (e.g. Rise of the Duel Masters and Clash of the Duel Masters) to only come with one starter deck instead of two.
- It is also the first core set in a block to not have "____ of the Duel Masters" as the name.
The official website had a storyline written about this set.
