Kevin Tewart has stated that 'everything in, from concept to finish', was designed by him.
With this set, ' Gallis the Star Beast' and ' Darkness Destroyer' were also made legal in North America, and a number of other exclusive prize cards and promotional cards (such as ' Dark End Dragon' and ' Darklord Desire') were mass-distributed for the first time. This set also introduced 1 card to the TCG, ' Gladiator Beast Lanista'. It reprints cards from the ' Lightsworn', ' Elemental HERO', ' Gladiator Beast', ' Cyber', ' Alligator', ' Darkness', ' Destiny HERO', ' Venom', ' Six Samurai', ' Evil HERO', ' Crystal Beast', ' Kuriboh', and ' Yubel' archetypes and cards from the ' Darklord' series.
