What the set is

Cyberdark Impact is the second Core Booster of Series 5. It is the GX set that introduced Zane Truesdale’s Cyberdark Machines (Cyberdark Horn, Edge, Keel, and the Fusion Cyberdark Dragon) and continued Cyber support (Cyber Ogre, Cyber Esper, Cyber Ogre 2). It also debuts the Allure Queen LV series, the Barrier Statue cycle, the Vanity’s series, and early column-position (“senet”) effects. Alien and other LV monsters appear as well. The set is known among players more for a handful of long-lived staples than for its theme cards.

Cards collectors and players associate with this pack:

• Cyberdark Horn / Edge / Keel (Super Rare / Ultimate Rare)
• Cyberdark Dragon (Ultra Rare / Ultimate Rare)
• Cyber Ogre 2 (Ultra Rare / Ultimate Rare)
• Allure Queen LV7 and Dark Lucius LV8 (Ultra Rare / Ultimate Rare)
• Instant Fusion (Common; one of the set’s most important long-term cards)
• Vanity’s Fiend / Vanity’s Ruler

• Barrier Statues (Abyss, Stormwinds, etc.)
