Catch the next wave of Yu-Gi-Oh!
TRADING CARD GAME monsters
with Starter Deck - Link Strike -! Link
Monsters let you bring a brand-new
level of domination to your Duels by
mastering not just how you play your
cards, but where you play them too!
Link Monsters start the Duel in your
Extra Deck, and you Link Summon
them to your field by sending face-up
monsters you control to the Grave-
yard; each Link Monster will tell you
exactly what kind of monsters you
need and how many to use. Link
Monsters don’t have a Level or Rank,
or even a DEF stat. They can never
be face-down or in Defense Posi-
tion; they’re always face-up and in
Attack Position, so you always know
where their arrows point! Arrows on
the Link Monster are the most impor-
tant feature because they point out
the Monster Zones on the field they
are linked to. Depending on their ef-
fects, a Link Monster could gain ATK
for every monster in a zone it points
to, or protect any monster in a zone it
points to from being destroyed. The
possibilities for Link Monster effects
are endless, but effects aren’t the
only great thing about Link Monsters!
Link Monsters also make it possible
to control many different monsters
Summoned from your Extra Deck, at
the same time! Any adjacent Monster
Zones a Link Monster’s arrows point
to become available to Summon new
monsters from your Extra Deck. Get-
ting as many arrows pointing at your
own zones as you can, while avoiding
arrows pointing to your opponent’s
zones, is a new and important ele-
ment of strategy you’ll want to mas-
ter with Starter Deck - Link Strike.
