YU-GI-OH! MONSTER MAYHEM & a New Branded Deck Coming — GeekTyrant
There were two really cool features about Monster Mayhem that really got attention. The first was that nine famous monsters such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Skull Servant, and Elemental HERO Neos got new alternate chibi artworks which were just amazing. My favorites are Skull Servant, Gorz, and Gearfried.
The other feature of Monster Mayhem was emblazoned cards for Dragonmaid, P.U.N.K., and Orcust archetypes. These cards have their archetype emblems emblazoned in the card text box and they look really cool. Now, I had no idea that archetypes had emblems but I think these are really cool and want to know what all the emblems are for archetypes! This is definitely something that Konami should continue doing in my opinion.
Konami was kind enough to send me a box of Monster Mayhem and you can check out my pulls below. Let me know what your favorite chibi artworks were from this set and keep reading for additional news from the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! .
About a week ago, Konami announced a new deck for duelists to grab titled THE CHRONICLES DECK: The Fallen & The Virtuous (All-Foil Edition) . Taking inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh! CARD GAME: THE CHRONICLES animated shorts, The Fallen & The Virtuous is a 51-card deck focused on Fallen of Albaz and Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous (aka Branded Dogmatika). There are two brand-new cards and four new alternate artworks included in the deck, plus 50 of the cards will be Ultra Rares. The last card will be a Secret Rare copy of one of the other 50 cards with a chance of being a Starlight Rare, reminiscent of what they did in Blue-Eyes White Destiny . You'll be able to pick up The Fallen & The Virtuous on October 24 with an MSRP of $19.99.
I'm sure that Konami is using the all-foil aspect as their rationale for making the MSRP so high for the deck, but I think this is going to be a huge detriment. I theorize that most duelists won't care that much about the fact that all the cards are Ultra Rares considering most of those cards will most likely just be thrown in bulk piles anyways.
I guess it depends on what the brand-new cards are and the overall deck composition is, but I'm not holding my breath for it to truly be something that many will see as worth that $19.99 MSRP. Tell me if you think I'm wrong in the comments below.
But wait, there's more! This last week, Konami announced a new product for fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's ! Legendary 5D's Decks is the fifth Legendary Decks set and will feature three complete decks for duelists to use. At this point we know that one deck is built around Yusei Fudo and the other two decks will be based on other Signers from the anime.
I personally think Crow and Jack are the easy guesses, but due to Jack getting the Crimson King Structure Deck not too long ago, I'd wager it's going to be Luna or Akiza. Yusei's deck will have eight brand-new cards though which will definitely be interesting to learn about.
Each of the three decks will have a 40-card Main Deck, 10-card Extra Deck, 5 Ultra Rares, 45 Commons, and an additional Secret Rare chibi art version of the Signer's main monster as a 51st card (that means we get a chibi Stardust Dragon for Yusei). Inside of Legendary 5D's Decks , duelists will also get three Secret Rare Token Cards with chibi art for the three Signer characters featured in the product which is sure to be a lot of fun.
The final note is that Konami has stated that popular tech cards including Infinite Impermanence and Mulcharmy Meowls will be included and 'the 5D's-themed cards in each Deck aren't a 1-of-each sampler, but come in the 2's and 3's you'll need to make these Decks really work.'
I have a hard time believing that we won't need to still buy three copies of the product to make any of the decks work though which will lead to a ton of unnecessary bulk and waste plus it's not very financially viable. Regardless, Signers and duelists can purchase Legendary 5D's Decks starting November 7 with an MSRP of $31.99.

YU-GI-OH! MONSTER MAYHEM & a New Branded Deck Coming — GeekTyrant
Last month, Konami released the Battles of Legend: Monster Mayhem booster set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game. Duelists who watched the recent NAWCQ observed just how powerful some of the cards and archetypes could be with Orcust taking first place!

All Silent Hill games in order, by release date and chronologically
Among the best horror games in video game history, the Silent Hill franchise might be the most iconic. Starting back on the PS1, this claustrophobic and psychological horror series stood apart from the rest with its dense fog and otherworldly monsters. Sadly, the franchise has had more lows than highs after the third entry, but it is making a strong comeback as of late. Now is the best time to immerse yourself in the dark world of Silent Hill, but where should you start? Unlike the Resident Evil games, which are very tied together, the lore and canon of Silent Hill is much harder to track. Make sure your radio is turned on and grab a pipe as I walk you through the entire Silent Hill series in release order and chronologically. All Silent Hill games in release order Silent Hill is a series that builds upon itself with each entry. The world and lore of that cursed town only get deeper and more complex, while the technology and gameplay attempt to evolve with the times. Because the games range from the PS1 all the way up to current consoles and PCs, it could be more than a little jarring if you played the most recent game followed by the earliest. Release order is always a safe bet for playing a big franchise in order, like Metal Gear games, even if it isn't the chronological order. This is the way those of us who have been following the series from the start experienced Silent Hill. Silent Hill (1999) (1999) Silent Hill 2 (2001) (2001) Silent Hill 3 (2003) (2003) Silent Hill 4: The Room (2004) (2004) Silent Hill: Origins (2007) (2007) Silent Hill: Homecoming (2008) (2008) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (2009) (2009) Silent Hill: Downpour (2012) (2012) Silent Hill: Book of Memories (2012) (2012) Silent Hill: Ascension (2023) (2023) Silent Hill: The Short Message (2024) (2024) Silent Hill 2 Remake (2024) (2024) Silent Hill f (2025) All Silent Hill games in chronological order This is where things get a little foggy (pun intended). There are a few Silent Hill games that give firm dates as to when they take place, but most do not. In fact, some even seem to contradict their time period intentionally, making it even harder to build a definitive timeline. That said, I have sifted through every note and connected every dot I could to give the most educated guess on the complete Silent Hill chronology. That said, part of the fun of these games is figuring it all out for yourself, so feel free to disagree and make your own theories. I can safely say that playing the series chronologically is not necessary at all. The only games that do need to be played in a specific order is 1 before 3 and Shattered Memories, and the original 2 before the remake if you plan on playing both. Silent Hill Ascension (Unknown, thought to be the beginning of the timeline) (Unknown, thought to be the beginning of the timeline) Silent Hill f (1960s) (1960s) Silent Hill Origins (1976) (1976) Silent Hill (1980s) (1980s) Silent Hill 2 (either 2001 or early 1990s) (either 2001 or early 1990s) Silent Hill 3 (around 2000) (around 2000) Silent Hill 4: The Room (most likely early 2000s) (most likely early 2000s) Silent Hill: Downpour (mid 2000s) (mid 2000s) Silent Hill: Homecoming (2007) (2007) Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (2008)
