If Duel Masters already has its hooks in you, then the game will be inherently appealing because it executes most of the basics with just enough competence. There is already a collectible card offering, a cartoon, a comic book, and various toys that bear the Duel Masters name, and now Atari and High Voltage Software have created a digital version of the card game with a light story wrapped around it. Familiarly, young suburban card-game enthusiasts play against one another in contests where cards unleash the power of fantastical powers in the real world, making for larger-than-life conflicts. Wizards of the Coast, creators of the seminal collectible card game Magic: The Gathering, has been in the business of collectible card games for more than a decade, but with nothing to compete directly with Yu-Gi-Oh!, it had to make something up. Despite initially seeming like a secondhand Pokémon knockoff, Yu-Gi-Oh!'s specific brand of tween-friendly, self-aware card battling eventually took root, and the franchise became a bit of a phenomenon, making ridiculous amounts of money for its creators and license holders. Double-faced cards have since become one of Magic's most common card templates, and it's all thanks to Duel Masters.When there's blood in the water, you're sure to attract sharks. When Wizards was looking for a way to introduce creature transformation in the original Innistrad set, inspiration was taken from Duel Masters, which used double-faced cards in the year before. Duel Masters' smaller market has allowed Wizards to use it to experiment with new card formats that have made their way over to Magic later on. It's not all one-sided, though Duel Masters has influenced Magic's design. Even the Duel Masters game has similarities to Magic – instead of five colours of mana, it has five elemental civilisations based on Light, Water, Darkness, Fire, and Nature. Duel Masters started out as a media franchise meant to sell Magic The Gathering to Japan, and the first few volumes of the manga have the characters playing Magic before moving on to the Duel Masters game we know today. Many Magic players may not know how closely linked Duel Masters and Magic The Gathering are. The full list of Magic cards included in The Chapter of the Shadow Parallel Monsters is:
