Twitter Update: Andromeda of the Citadel & Lux Revealed :: https://twitter.com/kaijudocentral/status/299617859204677632

So now we have another Celestial Dragon and Lux threw off the Level 4 Fire Bird expectation:

I can't wait to see more of this set, because a Light/Fire Dragon deck would be cool. I have a feeling that the uncommon/rare/very rare dragon cards will end up being staples before these super rares are and these super rares will just be cool cards that you'd like to have. Sure they're strong, but I don't really see them being too playable just yet

Pretty cool effect. I like how Lux takes the hit for the dragons and how it only costs 2 instead of 4.

Andromeda's effect is a little confusing to me (Awe Strike)...is it:
a. Whenever your opponent attacks with one of their creatures and is targeting anything (creature/blocker, shield, or you)
b. Whenever your opponent attacks with one of their creatures and is targeting a shield or you
c. Whenever your opponent attacks with one of their creatures and is targeting you (no shields)
???

I would say shield/you because only being able to use his ability when you're being targeted for game seems kinda pointless if you don't have a blocker out. Course, if you're playing Light, you probably will, but I think it's safe to say shield/you.

Yeah Andromeda's effect means shield or you. Lux is awesome cuz it's low cost and it's a saver for Dragons. Dragons are gonna be soooo good lol.

Must make FNL Dragons! Lux is amazing! A 2 cost card to reduce dragon costs by 1? And it will eat the Terror Pit for them? It is better than the nature one! I see this being a very powerful card for all dragon decks.

As for the dragon, it is decent. The real effect is the 2 shield regen though. The other dragons we've seen from this set have been more or less overkill. But this guy can take you from about to lose to still in this. If you have 9 mana and 0 shields and topdeck this guy, it can at least give you a good chance of a comeback. Now you got 2 shields, maybe removal in them, and a big attacker that can tap down. Then I can help stop a huge rush of attacks with its tapping effect. If they had 2 big attackers (bolt-tail and a neptes lets say) an you had only 2 shields, bolt-tail may break both but this guy could tapdown neptes (yes, it's effect doesn’t target so it can I think =p). I can see it being played, maybe as a 1 of tech to crystal memory out.

I'm liking Belua the best so far but Lux is very good. Going to be interesting comboing the Light and Darkness Civs when dragon ranching so you can Return from beyond Lux to save a dragon one more time. Shield regenerating is looking more viable w/ Andromeda. Looks like we'll have all 5 supers spoiled in something less than a week. Making me even more curious what the non dragon cards are going to be like.

Maybe there will be no non-dragons XD I'm most interested in the spells at this point. With so many high cost and powerful dragons, we will see stronger ramp and/or stronger removal? I can see Fire getting a new shield trigger though. Tornado Flame is a tad weak; they could get a 7 cost version that could hit 7K or less maybe. Still would miss a lot of the new dragons though.

Loving Lux. Fits well into a L/W/F Dragon deck. I will innovate that shortly ;-)

Andromeda is cool and I think goes into a Cobalt control deck. I remember watching online a match between Thundersultan and Bobby recently where he was using Orion in the 9 slot. Switch out the Orions with this card and boom!!!!! Massive shield regeneration deck going on there.

Oh, I just showed two new decks LOL

This makes me wonder if there will be non dragon cards to take care of the big dragons or spells that would take care of dragons specifically

There has to be some type of banish spell(s) in this set that they haven't shown. It will be interesting to see what they bring :-)

Personally I didn't really like the Dragon-specific counter cards in Duel Masters. They might make some for Kaijudo but I doubt they will see much play unless Dragons become a big part of the meta.
