Set 37 is running two opposite ideas at once
The set lands on 24 September. At least thirty-three cards have been shown so far, and the ones whose text has been published fall into three lines, two of which share a shape and one of which does the opposite. One empties your hand and spends your own shields. The other stacks cards up under a two-cost field until it can cast a ninety-nine cost spell for free.
It is out. The set went live on 24 September across a maintenance window of 9:00–17:00 JST, and the full contents are: ninety base cards, four gold-treatment reprints and twelve secrets. Below are the thirty-four that were revealed one at a time, described in full — and under them, what the complete list settles about the shape of the set.
Effects are described below in plain English; the official posts are embedded so you can see the cards themselves.
Line one: Fire, and running out on purpose
Every Fire card shown pays you for having less — fewer cards in hand, fewer shields in front of you.
Balga Raiza
《龍星装者 “B-我”ライザ》 · 我 is read Balga · Super RareFlow "GIG" Roll
《フロウ“GIG”ロール》 · UncommonSeven mana becomes two if you are willing to take the hit — and the shield you spent is what switches on the bonus. The cost and the payoff are the same action. The condition reads any player, so an opponent breaking your shields does the job as well.
Sukebo Churis
《スケボー・チュリス》 · CommonThe small one that makes the rest work. Discarding to draw is how a Fire deck reaches an empty hand deliberately — and an empty hand is the condition everything else is waiting on.
A fourth Fire card, revealed separately through Corocoro, takes the same idea further: free to cast if it is the only card you are holding, then a board wipe. Its own page is here.
Line two: Darkness, and stacking up to ninety-nine
The cards shown on Grand Prix day do the opposite. Nothing is spent — it is banked.
Shinsekai (Grand Zero)
《卐 新世壊 卐》 · read Grand Zero · Super RareGa Ryumizu
《月下卐壊 ガ・リュミーズ 卐》 · Super RareConfirmed since: the publisher's own gameplay showcase ran exactly this line — the field's gate casting the ninety-nine spell.
So the sequence reads: two mana to place the field, spells tucked underneath as you cast them, and on the turn the fourth one lands, four free creatures and another turn. That is the shape of the Darkness line.
Two more from the same day
Melavolgal and Shiten no Sabaki
《紫天ノ裁キ》 were shown the same day. Both belong to the Darkness line;
the first is a Dolsuzak, described in its post as destroying without regard for sides.
I have not read either card's text and am not describing it.
A note on that first name: the official post and the main Japanese guide site spell it
differently — 凶鬼卐号 against
凶鬼09号. Until the card itself has been read, this page does not pick
one.
Line three: Water, and a new keyword
Two Water cards arrived on 15 September, and with them an ability the game has not had before.
Zenoshark / Crystal Memory
《水晶の記録 ゼノシャーク/クリスタル・メモリー》 · Very RareIn practice it is often a clean tutor — few decks run six or more different cards at the same cost, so naming a number usually surfaces what you wanted. But it is a cap, not a guarantee, and the paper version of this spell has no such limit.
Clanvia
《不夜城艦 クランヴィア》 · Super RareWhich is the Darkness field's idea again, on a creature. Spells accumulate underneath; attacking spends them. Two different civilizations have now been given the same shape.
And two more, revealed elsewhere
Inkan D 《印鑑D》 and Homehome Rō / Homehome Rōku 《ほめほめ老/ホメホメ老句》 are also out. The second was an exclusive reveal through a Japanese guide site rather than the official account. Neither is described here — I have not read them.
The other six, now read
These came through Corocoro, a Japanese guide site and the official YouTube channel rather than the official account. Effects described in plain English.
Money King / "Senkyaku Banrai Hō nya!"
《金運メカ マネーキング/「千客万来砲にゃ!」》 · Very Rare · PLAY'S originalButtobi Scramble
《ブットビ・スクランブル》 · UncommonClanvia costs exactly four. So the ship does not have to survive a turn before it attacks — the other thing players were working out.
Inkan D
《印鑑D》 · RareThe card that lets an empty hand stay empty. Attack, untap, draw two, spend them, attack again — the condition refills itself.
Squalo / Energy Light
《叡智の聖騎士 スクアーロ/エナジー・ライト》 · RareAimed squarely at the deck currently second on the ladder. Zenith Heaven's Gate cheats Light blockers into play and wins from behind them; this clears the wall for four mana, and the spell half means it is never a dead draw.
Gokuraku Gōha 5.S. Trap
《極楽轟破5.S.トラップ》 · Very RareHomehome Rō / Homehome Rōku
《ほめほめ老/ホメホメ老句》 · Very RareThe second Smash Burst card. Attack, cast the spell half free, churn three cards for two discards — which in a deck built around an empty hand is not a cost.
The Darkness line has a second half, and it is a tribe
Five more Darkness cards have landed, and every one of them is a Mafi Gang. They discard, they fill the graveyard, and they come back out of it.
Gilles Tocqueville
《ジル・トクヴィル》 · Uncommon · PLAY'S originalGeorg Barbostein / Ghost Touch
《ゲオルグ・バーボシュタイン/ゴースト・タッチ》 · RareOne card, attacking, produces hand disruption and removal at once. Third Smash Burst card in the set — it is no longer a curiosity.
Bickrino
《ビックリーノ》 · RareThe magazine's own account calls it both a winning entry and a grand prize in the same article, so this page does not pick one.
Eight years later it is arriving in the digital game. Somebody's drawing, still being printed.
Dogongiyos
《凶鬼02号 ドゴンギヨス》 · Super RareCheaper and with an extra keyword — a clean example of the thing that makes paper card evaluations unreliable here.
For three mana, if you are willing to pitch a card — which the Darkness deck wants to do anyway.
Barredda
《凶鬼砕号 バリレッダ》 · RareAnd that is the engine. Barredda comes back for four, fills the graveyard by two, and pulls something else out of it. Everything above costs six or less — Gilles, Georg, Bickrino and Dogongiyos are all legal targets.
And a twenty-second, from a community channel
Banya no Kōhōsai
《卐夜の降凰祭》Both directions happen. The Darkness SR above got cheaper and gained a keyword; this one lost precision. There is no rule that the digital version is kinder.
The Madougu spells that make the Darkness engine run
Three cheap Water spells were shown on the official video channel on Grand Prix day. They are the fuel for the two-cost field above — every one you cast goes underneath it.
| Card | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Daju Gonpadu 堕呪ゴンパドゥ | 2 | Look at the top three, take one, rest to the bottom. |
| Daju Gyapudu 堕呪ギャプドゥ | 2 | Draw one. Super Shield Trigger: if it fires that way, no opposing creature can attack or block. |
| Daju Airvo 堕呪エアヴォ | 4 | Shield Trigger. Bounce anything costing seven or less. |
The point of the cheap two-cost ones is speed. The field wants four spells underneath it before it does anything, so the deck runs ten or more cards that cost two and dig. Getting the field down by turn three is the whole opening.
The four-cost bounce above was not restricted that way. It can return your own cards, which matters because the field is a card you sometimes want back. It did lose something else, though: it now targets elements rather than cards, so the spells stacked under a returned field come back with it rather than going to the graveyard.
A fourth Smash Burst, and the cycle is confirmed
Kiseki Beiburenra / Super Eternal Spark
《奇石 ベイブレンラ/スーパー・エターナル・スパーク》 · LightRevealed through Corocoro. Light was the civilization the pattern predicted, and Light is what arrived. Its spell half is an existing card, like the others.
Eight years later the magazine is revealing it again, for the digital version of the same set.
And Light gets a blocker that fetches blockers
Welkius
《闘門の精霊ウェルキウス》 · Super RareNine mana, and no deck will pay it. A nine-cost Light Blocker is exactly what Heaven's Gate cheats into play for free — and this one, on arrival, puts another Blocker out behind it.
The seven-card battle zone cap starts to matter at that point — a full board turns the next one into a discard.
The set is retelling a comic from 2018
Messer Schmitt
《メッサー・シュミット》 · RareHe is beaten by the Jokers hero, and with his dying words hands over the power that turns that hero into his upgraded form — the creature shown in this set's teaser trailer.
Georg, Messer Schmitt and the upgraded Jokers hero are all in set 37. The set is not a pile of reprints from a period; it is a specific story, cast as cards.
Which is a thing English-speaking players have no access to. The comic has never been published in English, so the connective tissue between these cards is invisible unless somebody points at it.
And a creature that keeps working after it dies
Diamon-shō
《超煌ノ裁キ ダイヤモン将》 · Super RareIt also stops taking up space. A creature sitting on a shield is not in the battle zone, so it no longer counts against the seven-card cap.
The hero from that story arrives, with a fourth new keyword
Three Jokers cards landed on 18 September, and the middle one is the upgraded hero the comic plot above was building towards.
Oramacha the Johnny
《オラマッハ・ザ・ジョニー》 · MasterPlayers are already asking the obvious question in the replies: does it stop a spell cast off the field, which is not cast from hand? No answer yet.
Com Cruiser
《コム・クルーザー》 · UncommonThe bridge — out of the mana zone, not your hand. Five mana as an evolution, and its swap reaches anything up to eight, which is what the hero above costs. So the ramp spell that buries a Jokers card in your mana is also setting up the swap.
Oraora Jokers
《オラオラ・ジョーカーズ》 · CommonRamp that replaces itself in a deck full of Jokers. Three mana on turn three, eight mana on turn six — which is what the hero costs.
And the card the set is named after wins the game outright
Minogami
《始虹帝 ミノガミ》 · Master · the “Nijitei” of the set’s titleThe work is Rinfinity, the keyword on the five reprinted Nature creatures that share a name: cast a Twinpact’s spell half while the creature stays on the board. Five of those in a turn, and the loss you were about to take becomes a win.
Summoning one of the five untaps your whole mana zone. Not part of it, all of it. You pay nine and the nine come straight back, usable again in the same turn.
And Rinfinity pays you for copies. Each time you cast a spell half from the battle zone, you put the top card of your deck into your mana zone — once for every 天地命動 バラギアラ you control. Four on the board is four cards a cast. You still pay for the spell, and the creature is not put in the graveyard afterwards, so it casts again.
Every cast builds mana, every summon refunds mana, and the mana is coming off the top of your own deck. So the deck empties itself — and emptying it is what fires Minogami: a win if you reached five casts, and if you did not, the eight-card fallback puts mana back under the deck so you can keep going.
Which also explains the Twinpacts everywhere in this set. They are not a convenience — they are the win condition’s raw material.
Five keywords arriving here for the first time
| Keyword | What it does | Seen on |
|---|---|---|
| Smash Burst | Cast the card’s own spell half free when it attacks | 4 cards |
| Master Mach Fighter | Attacks creatures immediately; winning untaps it and breaks a shield | 1 card |
| Muteki Nijitei | Turns a loss into a win if you cast five Twinpact spell halves that turn; otherwise buries eight mana to survive | 1 card |
| Master G・G・G | Free if the card is the only one in your hand | 1 card |
| 5.S.D. | Marks the opponent’s fourth card — purpose unrevealed | 1 card |
The other two are printed on cards without any such announcement. They may be equally new, or they may be wordings this game already had and I have not seen before. This page does not know which, and says so rather than guessing.
So the pattern is a new creature welded to a reprint, one per civilization. All four keywords are in the glossary.
Another Baraghiara — but not one of the five
Bōmeiten Baraghiara / Gaia's Awakening
《暴命天 バラギアラ/ガイアの目覚め》 · RareThis is 暴命天 バラギアラ: a different name, a different race line, 9 for 14000, and no Rinfinity.
That cuts it off from the set's win condition twice over. Without Rinfinity you cannot cast its spell half while the creature stays in play, so it never counts towards Minogami's five. And because Rinfinity on the real five counts your Tenchi Meidō Baraghiara specifically, this card does not even feed them.
Note also what the creature does: "every creature" includes the opponent's. Playing it hands the other player an extra shield break on each of their attackers too.
Something leaves as well, on the same day
Those cards do not stop existing — they remain legal in All Division, which rotates nothing. But a New Division deck leaning on the outgoing set stops being legal that morning.
The set going out is DMPP-32, 「正義の煌龍」, from September 2025. A Japanese strategy site publishes the rotation schedule a year at a time and has this one marked for September — with the unnumbered special pack that left in July listed in the same table, which is what makes the count add up.
If you are building in New Division before the 24th, check whether your deck leans on that set. A card database will tell you which release a card came from and which formats it is legal in.
What the full list confirms
The complete contents are published: ninety cards, plus four Ultra Golden reprints and twelve secrets. The thirty-four above were shown one a day; the rest arrived as a block. Most of the remainder is what fills a set out — commons and uncommons that support the archetypes rather than define them — but the cycles they form settle a few things this page had been guessing at.
| Line | Cards in the list |
|---|---|
| Madougu spells 堕呪 | 5 |
| Kyōki numbered demons 凶鬼○○号 | 5 |
| Crest of Judgement 裁き | 6 |
| Baraghiara-named | 6 |
| Churis チュリス | 4 |
| Metallica “Kiseki” and “Gin” | 6 |
The set is built almost entirely out of cycles: five of this, six of that, one per colour. That is what a set assembled from old preconstructed decks looks like.
What the full list does not do is change the reading above. The Fire cards still empty your hand, the Darkness and Water cards still bank things, and the win condition still runs on Twinpacts. The extra fifty-five reinforce those lines rather than adding a sixth.
What this set actually is
Not yet known
- Nothing, on the release date — it is now announced. The set lands on 24 September 2026.
- Three of the set's characters have been given voice actors in the announcements: Ga Ryumizu, Minogami and a teacher character. Not described further here — the story chapter that uses them went live the same day.
- English names. The community patch has not translated these — they are not in the game yet. Renderings above are provisional, with the Japanese alongside.
- Two of the eight cards above, whose text I have not read.

The cause was narrow watching: I checked the official account on the day of the Grand Prix, saw the tournament result and the set teaser, and did not scroll past them. Four card reveals were sitting underneath.
One question is still open: whether Money King arrives tapped.
16–20 Sep: five Darkness cards, three Water spells, a fourth Smash Burst card, a Light blocker, a Nature hunter, a Light crest creature and three Jokers cards added, taking the count to thirty-two — all of which have their text described. A keyword arrived with the Jokers hero. The tribe they share confirms a connection this page had flagged as a guess.
Also corrected: the Nature Shield Trigger was listed as coming from an unknown channel — it was a Corocoro exclusive. The contest card was described as having won its contest; the source is not consistent about that, so the claim has been softened.
Corrected 15 Sep: the poll figure was first described as "an actual number", against the posts around it. That was the wrong distinction. It is counted rather than sampled, but it forecasts a card nobody has played — not the same kind of thing as the ranked data this site reports elsewhere.
And the keyword section said "four new keywords". The publisher has announced two, both of which are older paper keywords arriving in this game for the first time. The other two are described on cards with no announcement attached, and this page no longer asserts that they are new.
Caution is not the same as accuracy. Declining to state something checkable is its own kind of error.
It changes nothing above. Which is the useful result: a reading taken from a third of a set held up against the whole of it.
Two smaller fixes with it: the five Baraghiara are secrets, and the three-card Metallica cycle was described as one per civilization when only three civilizations have one.
