· New illustrations for Sky Striker Ace - Linkage have been revealed, and the high price of Grandmaster Rare has been mentioned.
· Phantom Knights have received a total of five new support cards: two monsters, one Xyz monster, one spell card, and one trap card.
· The new Fog Blade card is Phantom Knights DK Cloak.

· Effect 1: Upon Normal Summon, it searches for a Phantom Knights monster and has an effect to banish from the graveyard. It can Special Summon by revealing a Phantom Knights card (including Spells/Traps), which is a significant advantage.
· Effect 2: It can activate a negation effect by adding a Phantom Knights monster to the hand. Unlike the past search methods of Phantom Knights, immediate development is now possible.
· Effect 3: It can treat an Xyz Material as its own Level, providing an effect to gain advantage in unit count during development.

· Effect 1: Upon a Rule Special Summon, it sets a Phantom Knights Spell card. It has the advantage of not being negated by cards like Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, and the set cards are powerful.
· Effect 2: While the summoning method for existing Rank 4 Phantom Knights monsters was limited, this card's effect diversifies the ways to summon Rank 4 monsters, allowing for Rank 4 summons even under disruption.
· Effect 3: This is a Level 3 version of Brigandine, with very easy summoning conditions and the ability to activate from the graveyard. Along with its effect to change to Defense Position, it can bring out powerful monsters to the field by using DARK Xyz monsters as materials. Powerful plays are possible in conjunction with cards like Typhon.

· This monster adds a Level 3 engine upon summon, and when Rule Special Summoned, it sets a Phantom Knights Spell card.
· Since the materials are two DARK monsters of Level 2, it can be used as a "staple" in decks that run two Level 2 DARK monsters.
· Upon Xyz Summoning an Xyz Dragon monster, it has an effect to add a Rank-Up-Magic card to the hand. Existing Phantom Knights were vulnerable to disruption targeting Extra Deck monsters, but this card provides advantage.
· Effect 3 can be used to recover banished Phantom Knights cards by utilizing the effect of Phantom Knights to destroy and banish their own or the opponent's cards.

· This is a Rank-Up-Magic card that also has an effect to increase the number of units.
· It is used by sending an Xyz monster to the graveyard and then overlaying on top of it to Rank-Up.

· It has an effect to destroy cards on your field and trigger the activation of Rank-Up-Magic. Its name, "Xyz Dragon," fulfills the activation condition for Rank-Up-Magic.
· Since this card is a Phantom Knight, it is compatible with all Phantom Knight revival cards.
· Upon Special Summon, it can be used as a disruption card by targeting cards other than itself for destruction, allowing for the destruction of multiple cards.

· The new support cards have significantly improved Phantom Knights' development and disruption capabilities.
· However, their lack of flexibility and vulnerability to opponent's disruption raise questions about their potential to enter the tier list.
· The existing powerful graveyard banishing effects of Phantom Knights remain effective, but the lack of disruption against Extra Deck monsters is a point of regret.
