There will also be one additional Skill Card: For the first time ever, an alternate version of the Power Bond Skill Card will be available featuring none other than Zane Truesdale!  

Skill Cards are what make Speed Duel so unique, and there may be other Skill Cards that will receive updated card text in the future to better balance, work within the updated rules, and clarify how they are used.
