Here’s What’s Inside the New Chronicles Deck – Spirit Charmers! The Charmer archetype has always been a fan-favorite for its elemental flair and spellcaster synergy, and now it’s back in the spotlight with THE CHRONICLES DECK: Spirit Charmers (CH02), released on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Let’s dive in and check these cards, starting with the headline additions that are already turning heads in the community. Card Reviews (Quick Insights) Charmers of the Grand Circle This new Fusion Monster is the centerpiece of the deck, and it’s nothing short of a powerhouse. Upon Fusion Summon, Charmers of the Grand Circle lets you repeat its effect up to four times depending on the Attributes of the materials used. That means you can stack multiple benefits in one summon:  ATK boost: Gain 800 ATK per activation, letting this monster punch through even the toughest boss monsters.  Search power: Add a “Possessed” Spell/Trap directly from your Deck to hand, ensuring immediate follow-up plays.  Field control: Return cards on the field to the hand, disrupting your opponent’s setup.  Revival: Special Summon a Spellcaster from the GY, swarming the board with resources. The sheer flexibility here is staggering. You can tailor your plays to the situation—whether you need removal, recursion, or raw damage. And because you can repeat effects up to four times, this card scales beautifully with diverse Charmer support. It’s a must-have Fusion boss for anyone serious about the archetype. Spellbook of the Grand Circle If the Fusion Monster is the deck’s muscle, then Spellbook of the Grand Circle is its brain. This Normal Spell is the ultimate consistency card for Charmers:  Effect (1): Add four Charmer monsters with different Attributes from your Deck, GY, or banished pile to your hand, then recycle two cards back into the Deck. This is an insane level of resource generation, ensuring you always have the right Charmer lineup.  Effect (2): From the GY, banish this card to Fusion Summon a Charmer or Familiar-Possessed Fusion Monster. Best of all, your opponent cannot respond when that monster is summoned, guaranteeing your Fusion effect resolves. This card single-handedly fixes the archetype’s biggest weakness—consistency—while doubling as a Fusion enabler. And because it carries the “Spellbook” name, it synergizes with the Spellbook engine included in the Structure Deck, opening up even more combo lines. Simply put, this is the key Spell card that makes the Charmer strategy viable in modern play. Additional Cards (Blazing Dominion) Beyond the two headline cards, Spirit Charmers also ties into the latest set, BLAZING DOMINION, which introduces three new Charmer cards. These expand the archetype’s toolbox even further, so be sure to check them out here. Set Contents Here’s what you’ll find inside THE CHRONICLES DECK: Spirit Charmers (CH02): Summary With Charmers of the Grand Circle providing explosive Fusion utility and Spellbook of the Grand Circle delivering unmatched consistency, this Structure Deck is a turning point for Charmer fans.

BLAZING DOMINION’s (BLZD) Top 4 Chase Cards You Can’t Afford to Miss The OCG’s latest set, BLAZING DOMINION, dropped on January 24, 2026, and it’s already sending shockwaves through the competitive scene. Every new release brings hype, but this one feels different—players are scrambling to secure copies of the set’s chase cards because they don’t just look good, they define how decks will be built moving forward. Let’s dive in and check these cards that everyone’s talking about. Card Reviews (Quick Insights) Top 1: Fidraulis Harmonia The best generic card in BLAZING DOMINION, Fidraulis Harmonia is a Dragon Tuner that doubles as a reactive hand trap. Its ability to respond to opponent’s monster effects makes it incredibly versatile—providing field presence, non-targeting destruction, and even Synchro toolbox access. But what really sets Fidraulis Harmonia apart is its flexibility beyond Synchro decks. It’s already seeing play in Labrynth, Mitsurugi, Blue-Eyes, and other strategies that can spare the extra deck slots for its requirements. This makes it a universal staple rather than a niche tech choice. Highlights:  Works as a hand trap with removal and disruption.  Unlocks Synchro toolbox effects like Malong, Packbit, and Luluwalilith.  Fits seamlessly into non-Synchro decks that want reactive power. If your deck has room, Fidraulis Harmonia isn’t just good—it’s a must-have card that will remain relevant across formats. Top 2: Solem Report The “Solemn” line returns, but this time with a devastating twist. Solem Report can be activated the same turn it’s set, provided you reveal another set trap. That alone makes it faster than traditional counter traps, but its true strength lies in shutting down hand traps and preventing repeat plays. Highlights:  Negates “Dominus” hand traps and other turn-zero disruptors.  Prevents opponents from reusing the same card name.  Pay 3000 LP to banish all copies of the negated card from hand and deck. This is a nightmare for strategies reliant on key spells like Evenly Matched. Already seeing play in side decks, Solem Report is the kind of card that can flip a match on its head. Top 3: Dominus Spark The newest addition to the Dominus trap lineup, Dominus Spark is a flexible removal option that banishes opponent’s monsters. Even better, it can function as a hand trap when your opponent activates monster effects from the hand or graveyard. Why it matters:  Trap-heavy decks can maximize its removal without worrying about the opponent’s bonus summon.  LIGHT and DARK-focused decks gain extra synergy, making this card a natural fit. Dominus Spark is shaping up to be a sleeper hit—expect control players to lean heavily on it as the format evolves. Top 4: Apex Polymerization Fusion players, rejoice. Apex Polymerization is the extender you didn’t know you needed. Its pseudo-Super Polymerization effect ensures your plays resolve without interruption, locking both players out of responses during activation. Key decks already adopting it:  Lunalight → explosive combo potential.  Branded → consistency and resilience.  Other Fusion-centric builds that thrive on uninterrupted plays. This card is pure insurance—your Fusion strategy goes through, no questions asked. Final Thoughts BLAZING DOMINION isn’t just another set—it’s a meta-defining release. Fidraulis Harmonia gives decks a universal hand trap, Solem Report punishes repeat plays, Dominus Spark empowers trap-heavy control, and Apex Polymerization guarantees Fusion consistency. Together, these chase cards represent the backbone of competitive innovation in 2026. If you’re serious about staying ahead of the curve, these are the cards you need in your arsenal. Don’t wait—BLAZING DOMINION Singles and Boxes are now available at TCG-corner! This has been ArcKnight. Happy Dueling!
