Special Decks Books

This is the sweetest thing since Raigeki came out. Why?
-You get 3/4 of a chance at getting a very good varient card
-IOC has the best cards out there

I got one of these and I pulled out Ring of Destruction as my varient card. I opened up my first IOC pack from this set and got a Chaos Emporer Dragon. My second was a Dark Magician of Chaos and the third and the last was a Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning. If you want the most game-breaking cards, get this.

This pack includes 3 booster packs of Invasion of Chaos, the latest booster pack series, plus a old secret rare from a pack that is now hard to find. It saves money from buying 3 seperate packs, and REALLY saves money from buying the secret rare. The secret rare cards you can get in these are:
Magic Cylinder
Gemini Elf
Lava Golem
Ring of Destruction
I gave this semi-high educational value because you have to calculate math while dueling, but I gave it low durability because the cards get beaten up easily. Good luck with these!

My favorite packs of all time in a special edition pack magic cylinders has to be one of the greatest traps in the whole game negate the attack of a monster thanb fire it bak at his/her life points. Gemini elf 1900 attack 4 stars is a very strong level 4 monster. Ring of destruction destroys one monster on the field and you both loose life points equal to the attack of the destroyed monster, this card can be very helpful used correctly. And lava golem sacrifice 2 of your opponets monsters to summon lava golem on there side of the field 3000 attack they loose 1000 life points every standby phase that they controll this card.



And lets not forget one of the most strongest monsters in yugioh. You can obtain the all might Chaos Emperor dragon, which is one of the most sought after cards. Also its a better price than buying the packs sereratly.(unless you buy from ebay)


I hope this review was helpful to you.

this pack is the BEST! I got 2 and got a Ultra Rare Levia Dragon-Daedalus and a Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning!
I also got a Magic Cylinder and Ring of Destruction! This is AWESOME! If you want to get some of the best Yu-gi-oh cards ever, GET THIS PACK! I mean box! I mean...uh...thingy!

This special edition pack is the greatest because you can get Lava golem, Gemini elf, Magic cilender, or Ring of destruction and you get three Invasion of Chaos packs. When I got it I got Lava golem and Dark Magician of Chaos in a pack. That is why you should buy this.

Carrier combat enthusiasts and modelers alike will enjoy this Squadron/Signal volume. There have been numerous histories of the Navy's carriers in action but S/S and author Al Adcock have taken a different tack with this book. While furnishing a basic overview of USN carrier ops, they cram the book's 64 pages with over 150 black & white and color images of carriers, aircraft and aircrews in action. Coupled with eight pages of color profiles by Don Greer and Andy Probert and you've got quite a nice package.

In-depth history, no; appealing photo-history, YES!

This action-packed romantic suspense thriller grips the audience with the opening poker sequence and never slows down either in Nevada, Virginia or Monaco. The story line is filled with action, but Bethany who uses her poker skills to raise the ante makes the tale as series fans and poker players will be fascinated by her approach to her duty. Terry Watkins adds to the Athena Force mythos with the fully loaded STACKED DECK.

This deck is fabulous for aggressive players who like to use dinosaurs and dragons!

Great description of a current acount of sailing around Cape Horn, interspersed with historical accounts of journeys around the Horn. It's amazing that people in small wooden boats without modern navigational aides would attempt such a harrowing journey

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Similar in style to Tony Horwitz's "Blue Latitudes" and "Confederates in the Attic;" the author weaves the awe inspiring beauty of the place and it's important and poignantly tragic history together with his own personal experience exploring it in a chartered sailboat.

We are faced with so many books on problems - whether it's Iraq. or a neurotic hero of heroine trying to make the best of a bad situation, or how to make (or save) a buck or any one of a thousand problems which help to sell books - it's a joy to read a book like this where a very literate author sits back and tells us in excellent and descriptive prose a fascinating story about Cape Horn and its environs, its geography, what it's like there, its history, its native people and how it is to sail a small boat in these stormy rockbound deceptive dangerous Patagonian waters.

I don't know how I found it, but I had read a part of it when it was first published and had put it down for some reason. Then, just the other day, I picked it off the shelf and read it. Finished it last night and now I can't wait to tell you to go out and buy it and read it too. It's a delight. You'll freeze in the sleet and wind of Cape Horn weather. You'll be right there with the explorers who found a passage there and then you'll see and feel the worst with the resolute skippers who drove their ships into the teeth of the worst weather in the world to succeed or perish in an attempt at transit. If you're really interested it's got a great bibliography too. Go get it and read it. No kidding. Unless you're some kind of a wimp you'll love it!

With the wind in its sails, this book glides like a clipper ship. Otherwise, in sailor terminology, it can be the doldrums.
The author took it upon himself to experience firsthand the hardships and rigors of Cape Horn and then interweave these wanderings with its history, flora/fauna, climate and geography.
I found the historical accounts of Magellan, Drake, Darwin and many others in this harsh environment extremely fascinating. Especially gripping and understandably predictable, were the numerous failed attempts of missionaries to establish themselves amongst the indigenous people.
His own meanderings, although descriptive and worthy, are somewhat overplayed and a disappointment after such colorful portrayals of past explorers and events.
Overall a good read of a very unusual and mysterious geographical region.

This is a wonderful book. Dallas Murphy weaves the history of Western contact with the strange and wonderful world at the bottom of South America, the intriguing story of its aboriginial inhabitants, and his own sailing experiences there with consummate skill. His narrative style is a delight. As a reviewer in the Seattle Times put it: "I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading, curling up comfortably for such an articulate adventure."

I thought this was a book until I received it in the mail. It's 50 "playing cards"; stiff paper looseleaf cards. I would have preferred a book and will have to be more careful next time I purchase from Amazon.com.

This card deck is a fantastic idea! Very useful and easy to carry with you in the car. Great compact information to local sights. Makes for a quick and easy get-away search. Would recommend highly.

I love watching the Bay Area Backroads TV show. I thought the card deck would be as advertised, toss in your glove compartment and off you go!There are lots of cards of individual landmarks to visit and one fold out card with a very simple map, but you will still need a real map, lodging book and a restaurant guide to make a nice trip out of any one of the destination cards. I think I will stick to cutting the weekend trip guides out of Sunset and Via magazines. I was dissapointed with the card set.

I purchased these cards for a family trip over spring break, and while I like the packaging and format, I found the cards a disapointment. The games were not detailed enough- too vauge.
