Heroic Warriors is the latest Selection Pack to be released in Master Duel, featuring the brand new and much awaited "Therion" and "Libromancer" archetypes, as well as new supporting cards for the "Heroic", "Symphonic Warrior", and "Vendread" archetypes! Here's a quick rundown of the newly released cards and some sample decks to get you started!

Therion

Centered around treating monsters of their own type, as well as other Therion monsters, as Equip Spell Cards that grant powerful effects, the Therion archetype has seen meta play in the past and is very likely to achieve the same in the Master Duel meta.

Therion as a deck does not function particularly well as a pure strategy; instead, players have been eagerly awaiting them to splash in a wide variety of decks. Any deck with a large focus on either Machine or Plant monsters has access to Therion "King" Regulus, either by using its own effect in the case of Machines, or with Therion "Lily" Borea when using Plants. Lily is able to search Therion Discolosseum by sending herself to the GY, which then searches Regulus who can then equip her. This gives many decks access to a negate earlier than they would ordinarily have (or ever have, in the case of EARTH Machine decks).

Due to the extremely splashable nature of Therion cards, it is more helpful to provide decklists that can take advantage of them instead of a pure deck list. Of all decks that benefit from Therion, ABC is projected to be by far the strongest variant out of all.

Libromancer

An originally TCG-exclusive archetype from Battle of Chaos. Libromancer is a Ritual deck that benefits players who use monsters on the field as material. In terms of actual use, Libromancer effectively spams the field with monsters, facilitates Ritual Summons with a Continuous yet not once per turn Ritual Spell, and has access to some powerful and searchable disruptions like Libromancer Intervention and Libromancer Displaced alongside Loading... which provides easy access to them.

Libromancer has historically seen TCG success as an Artifact Scythe deck but with the ban of Crystron Halqifibrax it remains to be seen how effective the deck will be in Master Duel.

Vendread

A non-linear Zombie Ritual deck based on both Spawn and Resident Evil, Vendread recieves some incredible support in this pack in the form of Scar of the Vendread which finally gives the deck the ability to search its Ritual Spells, and Loading... being another extremely powerful adddition to the deck.

While Vendread will still not be meta, the new cards are very useful for them, and players of the deck are rejoicing as a result.

It's since been removed, I am unsure why the pinned community lists had cards not in the game but it's my fault for not cross checking. Apologies!
