4''Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters TCG'' is the second CollectibleCardGame of the ''Franchise/DuelMasters'' Franchise, based on the (Western created) ContinuityReboot. It was released June 26, 2012, the same month as the [[{{WesternAnimation/Kaijudo}} animated series]], and was discontinued on August 29, 2014.
5
6The game is [[SelfPlagiarism extremely similar]] to the first ''TabletopGame/DuelMasters'' card game, but different enough that the two games cannot be played together. There are three sources of incompatibility:
7
8* Differing card designs (the front and the back of the cards are different)
9* Cards that appear in ''Kaijudo'' from ''Duel Masters'' no longer work the same way or have different mana costs
10* Change in the mana rule
11
12!This game provides example of:
13* CardGame
14* EldritchAbomination: The Vortex spawn.
15* {{Expy}}: Many cards are extremely similar to those of the first TCG. Or even identical.
16* InstantWinCondition: Gathering all five of the Mystics from ''The 5 Mystics'' on your side of the field grants you one at the end of your turn, thanks to the Mystic of Light's ability.
17* LighterAndSofter: After seeing the images, it's clear that the game is meant to be less dark than the first TCG.
18* NeverSayDie:
19** Creatures who are defeated are referred to as "banished," rather than "killed" as in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. This is to better fit with the lore of the [[{{WesternAnimation/Kaijudo}} animated series]], where defeated creatures are sent back to the Creature Realm rather than killed.
20** Additionally, banished creatures go to the "discard pile," not the "graveyard."
21* SelfPlagiarism: Of the first card game, which in turn is a plagiarism of ''Magic: The Gathering''.
22* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: The 5 Civilizations are very similar to the 5 mana colors of ''Magic: The Gathering''. Replace Darkness with Black and Light with White and you have the 5 Colors.
