Hitting shelves last week, Cyber Dragon Revolution is the first Structure Deck release of 2014. Following the successful journey back to the origins of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME with Saga of Blue-Eyes White Dragon Structure Deck, Cyber Dragon Revolution revisits the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era and features the formidable Cyber Dragon. Giving Duelists a ready-to-play 40-card Deck which they can play right out of the box, or the option to use the cards to create and customize Decks on their own, this Structure Deck also includes an additional two-card Extra Deck which contains Zane Truesdale's Fusion Monster, Cyber Twin Dragon, and a brand new Xyz Monster based on the Cyber Dragon theme. In addition, there are two more new Effect Monsters, a new Spell Card, and a new Trap Card, for a total of five brand new cards.
