Attention all Gundam enthusiasts! Get ready to embark on a nostalgic trip down the animated battlefields of your favorite series with Zeon’s Rush (ST03), the latest offering from the Gundam Card Game. Whether you’re a battle-hardened veteran of tabletop games or a wide-eyed rookie looking to dive headfirst into the action, this starter deck offers you the chance to step into the combat boots of the famed Zeon forces without having to navigate real-world beam sabers or bazooka volleys.

Zeon’s Rush arrives with the flair and bombast befitting of the legendary Mobile Suit Gundam universe, and it comes conveniently packed into two stylish editions meant to cater to every type of Gundam aficionado.

Let’s start by breaking down the deck offerings. The Standard Edition is your express ticket to the frontlines, complete with a fully built, 50-card deck. Within this arsenal, you’ll find the strategic fuel of 10 Resource Cards to power your quest for domination. And as any seasoned player will tell you, reinforcements matter. Hence, the inclusion of 8 Token Cards stands ready to assist you in a pinch, whether you’re mounting an offensive or fending off the opposition. A sturdy paper damage counter keeps your skirmishes in check, while a rule and playsheet escorts novices through the intricacies of war gaming. To top it all off, this edition also includes a thrilling surprise—a bonus pack containing a holographic full-art card that promises to dazzle the collector’s eye.

Yet, for those who prefer a touch more sophistication—perhaps suitable for a commander with a taste for luxury—there’s the Special Edition. It borrows the complete ensemble of the Standard Edition but goes a step further. This edition beams you up with three exclusive Gundam Assemble miniatures, perfect for desk-based reenactments of your favorite skirmishes. Picture this: Char’s Zaku II, Zaku II armed with a Heat Hawk, and another Zaku II brandishing the formidable Hyper Bazooka. These miniature masterpieces are sure to bring the Gundam universe’s larger-than-life battles to life right in front of you.

Diving into the deck itself, Zeon’s Rush showcases a rich tapestry of the color Red and Green, drawing from the formidable forces of Char Aznable’s famed Zeon crew and Full Frontal’s Neo Zeon gang, hailing from the classics Mobile Suit Gundam and the modern tufts of Gundam Unicorn. True to Zeon’s spirit, you’ll find no shortage of Zaku models gracing your battlefield. Let’s delve into some of the line-up that awaits your command.

Expect to encounter common cards such as Angelo’s Geara Zulu and Geara Zulu, both bathed in Zeon’s classic Red hue. More mechanical muscle awaits with units like the Gaza D (Sleeves) and Dra-C (Sleeves). Not to be left out, the Green faction brings iconic units like Zaku I and Zaku II, stalwart machines designed to hold their ground. Nostalgia continues with the Gouf, the ever-faithful ally in green.

Impressively, pilots like Full Frontal, Char Aznable, and the indomitable Ramba Ral himself grace this deck, bringing personality and commanding presence to each battle. Rounding up the extras, there are crucial resources and bases, including the Rewloola and the versatile Falmel, each offering unique strategic advantages.

Lest we forget, mysteries linger as the cards marked Legendary Rares remain an enigma—still veiled but promising thrilling surprises that any Zeon devotee would long for.

For the fortunate few who invest in the Special Edition, your trio of miniatures—Char’s Zaku II and two fierce variations of the Zaku II—supply that tactile connection to the Gundam universe, allowing one to feel aligned with the fabled battles of old.

Whether you’re aspiring to be a rookie pilot or consider yourself among the seasoned commanders who’ve weathered countless royal showdowns, the Zeon’s Rush deck welcomes you with open arms and burly machines. Assemble your team, shuffle your battle cards with strategy and precision, and remember the eternal battle cry—Sieg Zeon!

So gear up, Gundam faithful. Your trench of imagination awaits.
