Gather around, mobile suit enthusiasts and Gundam aficionados, for an exhilarating blast from the past. The Gundam Card Game has unleashed a nostalgic tidal wave with its Zeon’s Rush (ST03) Starter Deck, ready to transport you to where interstellar battles are fought not with lasers and missiles but with wit and strategy. If you’ve always longed to command a Zeon fleet alongside Char Aznable or Full Frontal, now’s your chance—minus the actual debris from blown-up mech suits.
The Zeon’s Rush starter deck catapults onto the scene in two distinctive editions—a cut above your typical card game offerings. Each edition invites players into the heat of combat, with everything you need right out of the box to wage battles across the cosmos.
First off, the Standard Edition arrives flanked by a 50-card deck, strategically designed to reflect Zeon’s martial prowess. Naturally, they’ve included 10 Resource Cards to sustain your war efforts, along with 8 Token Cards standing by for those times you need an unexpected hand. The deck also arms you with a paper damage counter—a tangible measure of your tactical nous—and for the less seasoned warriors, a rule and playsheet that should prove invaluable, unless you’re already a Gundam savant. The cherry on top? A bonus pack containing a full-art holographic card from the deck itself that’s sure to become a prized possession in your collection.
For those seeking a little more flair, the Special Edition doesn’t hold back. It features everything the Standard Edition does, but steps it up a gear with three mesmerizing Gundam Assemble miniatures. These are not merely tokens of fandom but vivid recreations designed for your desktop battlefield. This troika includes TP-006: Char’s Zaku II, famed throughout the ranks of the Zeon forces; TP-007A: Zaku II (Heat Hawk), forging its blistering path in any fray, and TP-007B: Zaku II (Hyper Bazooka), guaranteed to pack a punch.
As for the card list, it’s an enticing blend of Red and Green factions, cycling back to the heydays of Char’s legendary forces and spilling into Full Frontal’s Neo Zeon troops. Keep your adversaries on edge with several charismatic suits in the lineup, because, let’s face it—there’s no such thing as too much Zaku in the midst of battle.
Within the Commons, strategic units such as Angelo’s Geara Zulu [AMS-129] (Red), and Zaku I [MS-05] (Green) lie in ambush, waiting for the perfect tactical moment to strike. Grenade your opponents’ strategies with Gaza D (Sleeves) [AMX-006] and Dra-C (Sleeves) [MS-21C]. Pilot cards don the likes of the infamous Full Frontal and the Red Comet himself, Char Aznable, pivoting the tide of battle with their unparalleled skills.
Commands know their importance, with Close Combat and the noteworthy Blue Giant/Ramba Ral leading the green forces because, indeed, Ramba is cool enough to warrant not one but multiple cards! Bases are ready with Rewloola and Falmel, poised to support your sprawling conquests on the cosmic playing field.
The Legendary Rares remain cloaked in mystery, tantalizing players with potential surprises yet to be unveiled. Like an ace up Zeon’s sleeve, these cards promise to become the keystone of any strategy, transforming the tide of combat when least expected.
The Special Edition’s miniatures, though exclusive, are the crowning jewels, each one a miniature testament to Zeon’s mechanical brilliance. Char’s Zaku II, the ambitious Zaku II with its Heat Hawk, and its partner wielding the intimidating Hyper Bazooka echo past series battles in delightful detail, making them hard to resist for any diehard Gundam enthusiast.
In summation, whether you’re a new recruit to the world of Gundam card battles or a veteran commander steeped in the lore of Zeon, this Zeon’s Rush deck intends to engage and captivate. Now it’s time to suit up, cradle your cards as closely as your secret battle strategies, and dive into the thrill of epic mobile suit skirmishes that many fans before have cherished. As the call of battle reverberates once more across the stars, remember the rallying cry of your virtual comrades—Sieg Zeon! Prepare for an adventure packed with tactical depth, nostalgia, and the unyielding spirit of Gundam combat.
