Konami has revealed the full set of cards coming in The Remaining Tournament Pack Vol. 3, and the highlight is a dragon lord who is only 1/1000th as strong as he could be. The pack includes two new cards, and one of them is a Level 8 EARTH Dragon Normal Monster named Ultum no Maryuu-Oh, better known as “The Dark Dragon Lord of Ultum.”
Ultum no Maryuu-Oh Stats
Ultum no Maryuu-Oh is a Normal Monster, which means it has no effects beyond its stats. Its ATK and DEF are both 2000, making it a solid beatstick for decks that care about raw power. The card’s flavor text tells a story of a dragon from another star that awoke from a sealed underground world.
But then the text takes a sharp turn. It explains that even in Dimension Zeta, when you first wake up, you can only exert 1/1000th of your true strength. That is not a mechanical restriction — it is a joke. A dragon lord that is only 1/1000th as strong as it could be is a funny concept, and Konami has chosen to commit that joke to a card.
The flavor text reinforces the idea of a creature that has been sealed away and is now rising again.
The Reprint
The other new card in the pack is a reprint. Hecahands Godos appears as 26TP-JP302, and it is a familiar face for longtime Yu-Gi-Oh! players. The card’s history is straightforward — it is a reprint of a classic monster, brought back for a new generation of players.
Reprints are common in Yu-Gi-Oh! packs, and they serve a practical purpose. For players who want to complete their collection, this is a chance to add a key monster to their deck.
The Numbers
| Card | Type | ATK / DEF |
|---|---|---|
| Ultum no Maryuu-Oh | Normal Monster | 2000 / 2000 |
| Hecahands Godos | Reprint | N/A |
The table above shows the two new cards in the pack. Ultum no Maryuu-Oh is a Level 8 EARTH Dragon, while Hecahands Godos is a reprint. The ATK and DEF values are only relevant to the dragon lord — the reprint has no stats listed in the announcement.
What the Pack Means
The Remaining Tournament Pack Vol. 3 is a small but focused set. It adds one new monster with a memorable joke, and it brings back a classic reprint. For players looking for a fresh card to build around, the dragon lord offers a distinctive theme. For players who want to complete their collection, the reprint is a useful addition.
The pack is not a major shake-up for competitive play. It does not introduce new archetypes or game-changing mechanics. Instead, it offers a light touch — a card that is fun to look at and a reprint that is useful to hold.
Why the Joke Works
The joke on Ultum no Maryuu-Oh works because it is delivered through flavor text rather than mechanics. A card that is only 1/1000th as strong as it could be would be broken if it were a Link Monster or an Effect Monster. But as a Normal Monster, it is just a statline with a funny backstory.
The text also sets up a contrast between the dragon’s potential and its current state. It is a creature that has been sealed away, and its awakening is incomplete. That tension between power and weakness is what makes the card memorable.
The Pack’s Place in the Format
Yu-Gi-Oh! has a long history of joke cards, and Ultum no Maryuu-Oh fits squarely into that tradition. The card’s design and text work together to create a creature that is both powerful and weak at the same time. It is a dragon lord that has been sealed away, and its awakening is incomplete.
The reprint side of the pack is a more conventional addition. It gives players access to a classic card.
The Verdict on the Pack
The Remaining Tournament Pack Vol. 3 is a small but effective release. The dragon lord is a standout card, and the reprint is a useful addition. The pack does not need to be a major set — it simply delivers what it promises.
For casual players, the dragon lord is a fun card to collect. It has a memorable name and a funny backstory. For competitive players, the reprint offers a familiar tool for deckbuilding.
The pack is a small release, but it carries a large amount of personality.
The Final Word
The Dark Dragon Lord of Ultum is a card that will be remembered for its joke. A creature that is only 1/1000th as strong as it could be is a strange concept, and Konami has committed it to a card. The reprint is a solid addition, and the pack as a whole delivers on its promise.
The pack is a reminder that Yu-Gi-Oh! is a game with a sense of humor. It is a game where a dragon lord can be both powerful and weak at the same time, and where a card’s text can be as entertaining as its stats.
