If you’ve ever gazed longingly at the stars, dreaming of epic space battles and iconic showdowns with Gundam legends, the time has come to channel your inner mobile suit pilot. Enter the arena with Zeon’s Rush (ST03), the electrifying new starter deck from the Gundam Card Game universe. Now you can relive your favorite skirmishes without needing to worry about incoming beam sabers or hyper bazooka blasts threatening your well-being.
For those just random-walking into the Gundam Card Game, Zeon’s Rush (ST03) comes armed in two distinct flavors. For the practical warrior, the Standard Edition serves up exactly what you need to dive right into the fray. It’s armed with a feisty 50-card deck designed to provide immediate battlefield excitement. You’ll also find within the package 10 Resource Cards, invaluable tools on your strategic warpath to cosmic domination, and 8 Token Cards, because let’s face it, no true Zeon operation is complete without a trusty backup crew at your disposal.
But wait, there’s more! This version also includes a humble yet faithful paper damage counter, and a rule and playsheet, just in case you’re still finding your footing in this thrilling world of mechanized warfare. And as a cherry on top, the Standard Edition treats you to a delightful bonus pack featuring a shiny full-art holographic card also smuggled from the deck itself.
If you’re a connoisseur of all things Gundam and want to elevate your collection with extra finesse and visual flair, consider opting instead for the Special Edition. This elevated package boasts all the aforementioned goodies, plus a triumphant trio of Gundam Assemble miniatures, ready to turn your desktop into a battleground for miniature reenactments. Embark on imaginary campaigns with the dashing TP-006: Char’s Zaku II, the ever-reliable TP-007A: Zaku II (Heat Hawk), and the fiery TP-007B: Zaku II (Hyper Bazooka).
As for what lies within the Zeon’s Rush deck itself, card enthusiasts and Gundam aficionados will be delighted to uncover a cache of tactics centered around the indomitable Red and Green color pair. Representing the pinnacle of Zeon might, this deck showcases Char Aznable’s formidable Zeon forces alongside Full Frontal’s Neo Zeon soldiers as seen in Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Unicorn. It won’t take long for players to realize that with this deck, there truly is no such thing as having too many Zakus.
Dive into the action with commons like the feisty Angelo’s Geara Zulu [AMS-129], and the stalwart Zaku II [MS-06]. Legendary pilots such as Full Frontal and the ever-colorful Char Aznable, who affectionately goes by the alias “the Red Comet,” make appearances in the form of fierce pilot cards. Command cards have been thoughtfully included as well, each one packing a punch, whether invoking Close Combat or calling forth the infamous Blue Giant/Ramba Ral.
Loyalists to the cause will employ their bases, like the formidable Rewloola and the stalwart Falmel, strategically placed to secure the high ground. For an added flourish, unit tokens like Char’s Zaku II [MS-06S] stand at the ready, poised to tiptoe (or stomp) into any situation as needed.
But wait, there’s more mystery to ponder! Even in a deck brimming with might, Zeon keeps a few secrets tucked away. The details of the Legendary Rares remain shrouded, for every strategic planner needs an ace up their sleeve, after all.
For those fortunate enough to embrace the Special Edition miniatures, more mobile options sit ready to engage. As mentioned earlier, Char’s Zaku II, Zaku II (Heat Hawk), and Zaku II (Hyper Bazooka) make an irresistible trio of mobile mini-mechs, anytime your desk cries out for a dramatic reenactment of your skirmishes.
The Zeon’s Rush deck is brilliantly crafted for both aspiring rookies and well-versed commanders in their quest for cosmic victory. Its strategic allure makes it the perfect blend of storytelling and tactical ingenuity. The time has come to suit up, shuffle your cards, stare down your adversaries, and pronounce in thunderous unison, “Sieg Zeon!” Remember, in the vast world of Gundam, glory awaits those bold enough to seize it.
