This year's line-up is extremely impressive and will feature Fabled Grimro, Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Starlight Road, Formula Synchron, and Karakuri Steel Shogun mdl 00X “Bureido” just to name a few.

The themes found in this set include Zombies, Dark Scorpions, and Trap Monsters and were chosen to be compatible with the recently released Battle Pack: Epic Dawn to create an entirely new sealed pack play experience.
