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. Add in the synergy with BLAZING DOMINION and the wealth of reprints, and you’ve got a product that’s both competitive and collectible. If you’re looking to strengthen your Spellcaster lineup or finally give the Charmers the spotlight they deserve, this deck is a no-brainer.

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!

With the January 2026 Asian English banlist shaking up the meta, duelists are searching for strategies that combine nostalgia with competitive control.

Card Reviews (Quick Insights) Here’s a concise look at each card in the Odion lineup: Anubis the Last Judge – Your searcher for your starter “The Man with a Mark” and also offers some beatstick power and card removal. The Man with the Mark – Sets the tone for Odion’s trap-centric playstyle, offering consistency by searching cards necessary for your combo as well as providing protection to your backrows. Mystical Beast of Serket – Classic summon enabler tied to Temple of the Kings; iconic and functional. Merciless Scorpion of Serket – Aggressive attacker that punishes opponents who leave openings. It also acts as your secondary searcher for your Temple of the Kings spell cards. Divine Serpent Apophis – Act as an instant boss monster that could help reuse your “Apophis” traps for further negation and card removal.  Divine Scorpion Beast of Serket – Modernized Serket evolution, bridging old mechanics with new synergy. Offers monster removal and huge damage output. Treasures of the Kings – Resource engine that keeps Odion’s grind game alive. It can provide +2 on its own making it the centerpiece of the strategy. Defense of the Temple – Your theme fusion spell that could also act as a removal in combination with your Serket fusion monsters. Temple of the Kings – The classic spell that helps speed-up the activation of your trap cards. Apophis the Serpent – Trap monster utility; flexible body for both offense and defense. This searches your Apophis monster traps and allows them to be activated the turn they are set. Embodiment of Apophis – The classic Apophis monster that you can also incorporate in your strategy. Apophis the Swamp Deity – It provides card negation for additional control. Verdict of Anubis – Reactive counter that punishes spell-heavy strategies searchable by “The Man with a Mark”. Sample Decklists (Post January 2026 Asian English Format) 1. Pure Odion Build Focuses on Temple of the Kings synergy. Trap-heavy, grind-oriented, with Apophis forms as finishers. 2. Odion + Primite Engine (Control Build) Competitive variant leveraging Primite’s control factor.

Top Decks Nerfed! Asian English January 2026 Banlist Breakdown The January 2026 Asian English Forbidden & Limited List is here, and it’s one of the most impactful updates we’ve seen in a while. No Forbidden cards this time, but the hits to top decks and staples are enough to shake up the format. Let’s recap what happened in the latest AE Banlist!  A. Banlist Recap NEWLY FORBIDDEN No changes. 「NEWLY LIMITED」Cupsy Yummy (3⇒1)K9 66A – Jokull (3⇒1)Maliss March Hare (3⇒1)Maliss White Rabbit (3⇒1)Herald of Arc Light (3⇒1)Ketu Dracotail (3⇒1)Maliss in Underground (3⇒1)Obedience Schooled (3⇒1)Pre-Preparation of Rites (3⇒1)Gozen Match (3⇒1)Rivalry of Warlords (3⇒1) 「SEMI LIMITED」Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3⇒2)Ice Ryzeal (3⇒2)K9-17 Izuna (3⇒2)Maxx “C” (3⇒2)Vanquish Soul Razen (3⇒2)Yummy Snatchy (3⇒2) 「UNLIMITED」 Cyber Jar (0⇒3)Pot of Desires (2⇒3)Purrely Sleepy Memory (2⇒3)Snatch Steal (0⇒3) Source: Official Asia Yu-Gi-Oh! Facebook Page   C. Banlist Highlights 1. Top Tier Deck Major Hits Maliss took the biggest blow this round, with three of its core cards limited: Maliss March Hare, Maliss White Rabbit, and Maliss in Underground. That’s a huge consistency cut. Yummy also got trimmed down. Cupsy Yummy, Obedience Schooled, and Arc Light are now limited, while Yummy Snatchy is semi-limited. Still, the deck feels playable thanks to the new Marshmao Yummy from DOOM OF DIMENSION AE. Vanquish Soul and K9 weren’t spared either. The K9 engine lost steam with K9 Jokull limited and Izuna semi-limited, which definitely lowers its firepower. 2. Top Tier Deck Minor Hits Dracotail only saw Ketu Dracotail limited, but with three Branded Fusion still available in AE, it remains a top contender. Mitsurugi took a consistency hit with Pre-Preparation of Rites limited. Ryzeal continues to be chipped away, now with Ice Ryzeal semi-limited, weakening its starter options. 3. Staple Hits Big staples finally got touched. Maxx “C” and Ash Blossom are now semi-limited. This feels like a shift we’ve been prepared for, especially with the Tactical Try Decks showing us new play patterns. Floodgates like Gozen Match and Rivalry of Warlords were limited, weakening stun strategies and opening space for more interactive gameplay. 4. Major Comeback Purrely is back at full power with Purrely Sleep Memory now unlimited. Pot of Desires returns to 3, alongside nostalgic classics like Cyber Jar and Snatch Steal. Cyber Jar and Snatch Steal has a modern AE print yet, which raises the question: are reprints coming soon?   D. Final Thoughts This January 2026 update is a big step forward for Asian English. By hitting the top meta decks hard, the format opens up space for new strategies to shine. With upcoming AE events like the Rank-Up League and 3-on-3 Tournament, deck building is about to get very interesting. If you’re looking to power up your AE decks, don’t forget to check out TCG-Corner for the latest card options. Once again, this has been ArcKnigt of RespectYGO, wishing you happy holidays and an exciting start to the new dueling year!  

New Year, New Meta: Breaking Down the January 2026 OCG Banlist The start of a new year always brings fresh changes to the competitive scene, and the January 2026 OCG Forbidden & Limited List is no exception. Several top decks took direct hits while staple cards were adjusted, setting the stage for a very different meta. Players are already talking about how these changes will shape their builds and strategies moving forward. Let’s recap what happened in the latest OCG Banlist! RespectYGO A. Banlist Recap FORBIDDEN ● Newly Restricted [4 Cards] Moon of the Closed Heaven 【Unlimited ⇒ Forbidden】 Splash Mage 【Unlimited ⇒ Forbidden】 Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir 【Unlimited ⇒ Forbidden】 Maliss <Q> Red Ransom 【Unlimited ⇒ Forbidden】 LIMITED ● Newly Restricted & Increased Restriction [7 Cards] Ice Ryzeal 【Unlimited ⇒ Limited】 Maxx “C” 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Limited】 Dracotail Mululu 【Unlimited ⇒ Limited】 Marshmao☆Yummy 【Unlimited ⇒ Limited】 Yummy★Snatchy 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Limited】 Pre-Preparation of Rites 【Unlimited ⇒ Limited】 Called by the Grave 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Limited】 Toadally Awesome 【Forbidden ⇒ Limited】 Metamorphosis 【Forbidden ⇒ Limited】 SEMI-LIMITED Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 【Unlimited ⇒ Semi-Limited】 Solemn Judgment 【Unlimited ⇒ Semi-Limited】 Dominus Impulse 【Unlimited ⇒ Semi-Limited】 Spright Starter 【Limited ⇒ Semi-Limited】 UNLIMITED  Astrograph Magician 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Eclipse Wyvern 【Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Bystial Baldrake 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 EMERGENCY! 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Pot of Desires 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Purrely Sleepy Memory 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Pressured Planet Wraitsoth 【Semi-Limited ⇒ Unlimited】 Source: Official JP Site   C. Banlist Highlights 1. Maliss Maliss has been one of the format’s most consistent decks, but this time it took heavy hits. Both Maliss Red Ransom (Forbidden) and Splash Mage (Forbidden) were removed, cutting into the deck’s consistency and swarming potential. While the core remains intact aside from Maliss Doormouse being Limited still, these changes undeniably reduce the deck’s firepower and make it harder to maintain its dominance. 2. Ryzeal Ryzeal received a direct blow with Ice Ryzeal Limited, reducing its starter options, and Number 16: Bagooska Forbidden, stripping away a key defensive tool. This makes it tougher to stabilize after cards like Maxx “C” or Mulcharmy. The Onomat Ryzeal variant should still hold ground, but players will need to rethink their builds to compensate for the lost consistency. 3. Yummy Yummy decks were hit hard, losing grind and recovery power with Yummy Snatchy and Marshmao Yummy each reduced to one copy. This weakens their mid-to-late game and leaves them more vulnerable to hand traps. Consistency takes a big dip here, making Yummy less reliable as a competitive choice. 4. Dracotail Dracotail’s flexible starter, Dracotail Mululu, was Limited, slowing down its ability to kick off plays with minimal resources. Even so, Branded Dracotail variants remain strong contenders, showing that the archetype still has room to thrive despite the setback.   5. Maxx “C” and Called by the Grave The OCG’s decision to limit Maxx “C” and Called by the Grave is game-changing. Maxx “C” has long been a momentum-shifting card, often deciding matches outright when resolved. Restricting it reduces its oppressive nature but still keeps it relevant. Meanwhile, Called by the Grave at one copy gives go-second players more chances to land their hand traps, balancing out the duel dynamics. 6. Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse Ash Blossom being semi-limited means consistency cards and draw effects have a better chance of resolving, shaking up how duelists plan their defenses. Dominus Impulse also moves to semi-limit, reducing its ability to counter summon-heavy strategies. Both changes open up the format for more diverse deckbuilding.   7. Moon of the Closed Heaven The generic bridge to Fiendsmith is now Forbidden, removing an easy route to connect into the powerful LIGHT Fiend strategy. This limits Fiendsmith to decks that already run main deck LIGHT Fiend cards such as Magical Musket, Evil Twin, and even Elvennotes to some extent. With this change, there’s a chance the Fiendsmith engine could slowly return from limitation in the future. Who knows? 8. Mitsurugi Mitsurugi received a slight consistency hit with Pre-Preparation of Rites reduced, lowering the chances of accessing the powerful Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi. With anticipation building for its wave 2 OCG support in the upcoming set, players are eager to see if new cards will push Mitsurugi’s standing even higher in the meta.   D. Final Thoughts This January 2026 OCG Banlist feels like a step toward aligning formats, especially with Maxx “C” now at one copy — just a single adjustment away from matching the TCG. The hits to Maliss, Ryzeal, and Yummy will reshape the competitive landscape, while staple adjustments like Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave create new opportunities for creative deckbuilding. Overall, the outcome looks promising and it’s exciting to see which decks rise to the top in the coming meta. Speaking of top decks, be sure to check TCG Corner to grab the cards you need — maybe even the missing piece of your next tier-one build.

TERMINAL WORLD 3: X-Saber Strikes Again! | Deck Spotlight The OCG release of TERMINAL WORLD 3 has duelists talking, and one of the standout themes getting fresh support is none other than X-Saber. Known for its relentless beatdown and infamous Gottoms handless loop, this archetype has always thrived on stripping resources while keeping pressure on the board. With new cards now in play, fans are eager to see if the Sabers can reclaim their spot in competitive dueling.  Meet the New Cards from TERMINAL WORLD 3 The X-Saber strategy thrives on aggressive beatdown and resource denial, famously known for the Gottoms handless loop. This deck pressures opponents by stripping their hand while maintaining strong board presence. Let’s discuss the 5 new “X-Saber” cards from TERMINAL WORLD 3! X-Saber Perina Card Review: X-Saber Perina is this theme’s Rescue Cat which can bring out any other 2 X-Saber monsters to the field straight from the deck upon summon by sending Perina to the GY. It is an excellent consistency boost for the deck and it also has some neat additional effects when it is used as a Synchro material for an “X-Saber” Synchro monster.   X-Saber Bruno Card Review: As a level 3 Psychic monster, X-Saber Bruno is searchable by Emergency Teleport furthering the chance of accessing this new monster. Upon summoned, it lets you add any 1 “Saber” Spell/Trap from your Deck or GY to hand making it an instant tool box to your Saber Spell/Trap arsenal. It also allows you to synchro on your opponent’s turn! Commander Souza, Swordmaster Card Review: Commander Souza is back with a vengeance with his new effects! Its third effect has a reactive card destruction effect ala “Ryzeal Detonator” when your opponent activates a card and effect for as long as you tribute 1 “X-Saber” monster. He also has a protection effect for as long as you can banish 1 “Saber” card from your GY instead. This synchro can also continuously help gain card advantage by drawing a card everytime it destroys a monster by battle.   X-Saber Gottoms Card Review: A powerful go-to level 7 Synchro that lets you add 1 “Saber” or “Gottoms” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand upon Synchro summon. It also has a neat Gottoms move upon inflicting battle damage by discarding 1 random card from your opponent’s hand. Lastly, it lets you defend your guard when an “X-Saber” monster is targeted by an attack by redirecting the attack to this Synchro monster by reviving X-Saber Gottoms from your GY.   Saber Combination Card Review: The final Spell Card in TW03 is another card to help extend your X-Saber plays. The first effect ensures that your “X-Saber” monsters will dominate the battle phase by giving them ATK boost so long as you have 10 or more “X-Saber” monsters in your field, GY, and/or banishment which is interesting as the roman numeral X stands for 10. If you summon an X-Saber monster from your Extra deck, it also allows you to special summon 1 “X-Saber” monster from your hand or deck which is helpful in swarming your field with monsters. Finally, the last effect allows you to bring a new “X-Saber” monster from your hand when your opponent declares an attack ensuring that you could survive that battle phase in tough situations.   Sample Decklist: Here is a sample X-Saber decklist for your reference. Closing Thoughts TERMINAL WORLD 3 breathes new life into X-Saber, reminding duelists why this archetype was once feared for its oppressive playstyle. The new cards give the deck more ways to set up its signature pressure, and it’ll be exciting to see how players innovate with them. 🔥 TERMINAL WORLD 3 singles and boxes are now available at TCG-Corner—pick up your X-Saber upgrades and start testing today!
