New mechanics and old buddies will be featured in two new releases for Bushiroad’s Future Card Buddyfight Ace trading card game:  Booster Pack Vol. 7 – Perfected Time Ruler and Special Series Vol. 3 – The End Zero will both hit the streets on January 24.

Perfected Time Ruler marks the return of the Aces Subaru Hoshiyomi and Masato Rikuo, while introducing the new [Phantom Thief Drago] Magic World attribute, which allows players to steal their opponent’s cards as “treasures.”  The set also features the return of key monsters from previous sets that will have upgraded abilities, while still sporting their original illustrations. 

The set will include a total of 86 cards from the Magic, Katana, Ancient, Star Dragon, and Dual Cards Worlds, with the following rarities:  2 BR, 4 SP, 15 Secret, 8 RRR, 12 RR, 15 R, 14 U, and 16 C.  It will be sold in five-card booster packs, with each pack including one R or higher rarity card, and some random packs will have parallel foil versions of common, uncommon, or rare cards.  Each 30-pack display box will include one Secret Pack.

Perfected Time Ruler has a number of cards that are designed to support The End Zero deck, releasing at the same time.  This fixed deck focuses on the character Kei Jinguji, known as the “Ace of Perfection,” who will be featured on the Buddyfight website starting in November.

The End Zero has 55 cards, including “Shiny” cards and one BR card, plus a life counter, deck analysis, a paper playmat, and a Premium PR Pack.  Available in six-deck displays.

Next month, Future Card Buddyfight Ace Booster Pack Vol. 6 will release (see “‘Future Card Buddyfight’ Flies with ‘Soaring Superior Deity Dragon’”).
