With the rest of GBT06 being revealed due to the release in Japan this week, lots of people the community is hyped including myself. However I wanted to do somewhat of a rant of its ugly older brother: GBT05. Many considered this set to be the weakest of all the G sets and for good reason. What makes a set strong is the playability of the clans it supports. For example GBT04 was considered a strong set because it revived Angel Feather (pun intended), updated Genesis and made Megacolony the pain it is today. On top of that it gave us Nextage which is a mandatory stride in every competitive GC deck. In GBT05 there were very few cards that were worth playing, one obviously being Chaos Universe and the support for Chaos Breaker Dragon. Other noteworthy cards are Nightmare Doll Catherine which is the best version of Pale Moon even though G-Era Pale Moon received majority of the support. Excelics Messiah is easily the best stride for Messiahs but it requires 3 GRs to play, at least they got some decent support with their Messiah G2,G1 and crit. Gear Chronicle seemed like just a toss in, but they got Colossus Monarch which is extremely good if you can fit it in your stride zone. Narukami was pretty darn weak with Erradicator and Vanquisher support, nothing worth going out of your way to play. And the OTT stuff was so meh in comparison to the older support including KamuSusanoo who is a complete joke. What made this set worse was the rarity of these cards because most of the RR and RRR is garbage! Why would they make Clockfencer Dragon a RRR?! During my sneak peek kit opening I pulled: Chaos Universe, KamuSusanoo, 2x Clockfencer Dragon, Voltage and Gauntlet Buster. I was so disappointed that I wasted 150 bucks on cards not even worth 1/3 of what I paid. So moral of the story is unless you are going to be playing all the clans or have a team that can split the cost, don’t bother buying packs. Sure it’s fun and you might get lucky but if you’re on a budget like most of the world, save yourself the disappointment and go straight to TCGPlayer. Just make sure you buy ‘em a couple weeks after the release so the hype dies down. Even though Bushiroad completely ripped me off, I am still going to be splitting GBT06 boxes with the rest of SackSquad because all the clans in this set are going to be played and this set looks very strong. So keep an eye on our Youtube channel next month for that unboxing!

Why is Moonlit Dragonfang so bad?!
