Playing style[edit]

In the manga, the "Shogi" cards had effects based on a card's position on the field. They focused mainly on destruction effects to annihilate the opponent monsters, using "Line World Revival" afterwards to revive the opponent's monster and further corner them.

When released, the Main Deck monsters were given effects more focused on quickly Xyz Summoning "Number 72: Shogi Rook".
