“Day of the Dead comes early this year in Maze of Muertos, as we meet up with Duelist Kingdom’s ghoulish graveyard ghost: Bonz!”
That’s what the message said. And it said to come here to find early packs of this set!
Wait…what’s that sound? SMASH
(An enormous one-eyed Jack-o-Lantern bursts through the ground! Pumpking RISES – FROM THE GRAVE!)
Oh, wow, it’s Pumpking the King of Ghosts! In the…flesh? What are you doing here? This is kind of like the place you battled Red-Eyes Black Dragon, all those years ago. You’re the original Halloween Horrorshow!
(Pumpking glares with his giant-sized eye. Clearly not a happy pumpkin.)
Yeah that was a long time ago, and you haven’t had a power upgrade since. Now you’re probably thinking, “I’m mad, and I’m not gonna take it anymore!”
Hey, wait a second! This new Maze of Muertos set might have something for you. Let’s look around and see what we can find.
(Pumpking tilts his big pumpkin head forward. Was that a nod? It must have been.)
Here’s a Field Spell Card right here. It looks like that cave with all the skulls, in Duelist Kingdom. This Field Spell lets you Set any of your Call of the Haunteds from your Deck or Graveyard. So you can get all 3 at once!
AND it powers them up, too, so Call of the Haunted sends an opponent’s monster to the Graveyard, on top of Summoning a monster from yours! How’s that
sound?
(Pumpking’s head tilts to the side. We seem to have his interest, but he clearly wants more.)
What’s this, here? Ectoplasmic Fortification? You used this in that cave Duel, too! It powers up your Zombie monsters’ Attack Points!
(Pumpking taps a vine on the ground, impatiently.)
Okay, I’ll keep reading. Hmm… AND it draws a card for every Call of the Haunted you control. That’s new!
(Pumpking points at… a brick?)
What if we draw it the first turn? Don’t worry, it says you can also use this same card to get the Field Spell out of your Deck.
(Now Pumpking’s pointing at himself.)
Hey, you’re right! You can get the Field Spell, OR a Level 6 Zombie, like yourself. And it bumps up Zombies’ Attack Points, and draws a card for every Call of the Haunted you control. That seems like a lot. It’s good to be the King!
(Pumpking proudly adjusts his crown.)
Let’s keep looking. Here’s another Monster Card. It’s…you! It’s a Pumpking upgrade, a new Level 6 monster. You can reveal it and discard a card, to Set Call of the Haunted from your Deck, and then you can activate that Call of the Haunted that same turn. And when the new you is Special Summoned, it Summons another Level 6 Zombie from the Deck. Okay, I see where this is going. You reveal and discard new Pumpking to Set Call of the Haunted, then activate Call of the Haunted right away to Special Summon Pumpking back, and then Pumpking Special Summons another Level 6 Zombie from the Deck. Boom! Two Level 6’s on the field. A great first-turn card you could even Xyz Summon right away.
(Pumpking ponders, then starts flailing its vines around itself. Like they were… orbiting?)
You want me to look for an Xyz Monster? Good idea. Let’s see…oh here’s one! It kind of looks like you, but bigger and with more eyes.
(Pumpking seems ESPECIALLY pleased at that.)
This Xyz Monster protects all Zombies from being targeted with effects. And when it’s Xyz Summoned, it adds Call of the Haunted – or anything that mentions it – from your Deck to your hand. Like Man with the Mark from Maze of the Master!
(Pumpking tilts his head down again. As if saying to keep reading.)
…AND you can detach 1 material to return 2 cards anywhere on the field back to the hand.
(Seemingly satisfied, Pumpking turns away and starts doing something in the dirt. He’s certainly less threatening but…wait…is he drawing something?)
Hey, those are Joey’s monsters! But now they’re Zombies. What are they doing on Team Pumpking?
(Pumpking stares impatiently and points behind a tombstone.)
Did you see this Legion-of-the-Not-So-Living around here? Oh, here it is! A Rank 7 Xyz Monster that you can Rank-Up into. It can attach an opponent’s monster to itself from their field or Graveyard, as material.
(Pumpking continues to stare.)
…as a QUICK EFFECT!
(There we go. Pumpking gives as much of a thumbs-up as a pumpkin can give with its vines. It really IS good to be the King.)
Well, everyone, you heard the pumpkin! Er…PumpKING. Maze of Muertos is the latest anime-inspired booster for the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. Featuring dozens of new cards, including many based on cards from the anime and manga. From Darkuriboh, Dark Magician of Destruction, and Timaeus the United Magical Dragon, to Illusion Gate, Chronicle Sorceress, and Uzuhime the Manifested Mikanko, you’ll find something of interest in the wide range of new cards found in this set.
Maze of Muertos also revives some old favorites and popular recent cards as an extra treat! And we might have more treats to announce in the days ahead, so stay tuned.
And of course, a new and revamped collection of Zombies, Spells, and Traps, like new versions of Pumpking, Ectoplasmic Fortification, and Deadly Zombie Breath, bringing the fan-favorite Deck of Bonz to the modern age. (Although Pumpking seems to have stolen the show, here.)
Each Maze of Muertos booster pack contains 7 cards:
• 1 Foil card per pack
• 6 Rare cards per pack
