The highly anticipated Yu-Gi-Oh TCG core set, Phantom Nightmare, has finally made its debut today. This latest addition to the long-standing TCG franchise brings with it over 100 new cards and introduces the all-new “Ashen” card archetype.
If the concept feels reminiscent of another popular dark fantasy franchise, you’re not mistaken. Fans have keenly observed numerous nods to From Software’s renowned action-RPGs, such as Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Elden Ring, embedded within the artwork and lore of these new cards.
Notably, there’s even a mechanic allowing players to transfer Ashen cards from their deck to their hand utilizing the Bonfire spell card. Intriguing, isn’t it?
