  • Crimson Crisis
  • Raging Battle
  • Ancient Prophecy
  • Stardust Overdrive
  • The Shining Darkness

A dark-archetype of Winged Beasts used by Crow in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, known as "Black Feathers" in the Japanese version. Most of these monsters are somewhat humanoid and have either a tengu or bird-like appearance. (Compare to other humanoid Winged-Beasts to a greater or lesser effect) All Blackwing monsters feature black in their design, usually on their wing feathering. Most are named after types of wind and air currents. They are currently a meta deck with swarming and speed capabilities. When Crimson Crisis was released, this Archetype was very unsupported - only 5 cards of Blackwing were released: Gale the Whirlwind, Sirocco the Dawn, Bora the Spear, Armor Master and "Raptor Wing Strike". Later on, with the release of Raging Battle and Ancient Prophecy the set grew into a highly swarming and powerful deck. The speed it gives with its swarming, along with its additional Synchro Summoning capabilities landed this deck a place on the Shonen Jump Circuit.

Spell Speed and chain in Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading card games, for each monster effect, spell cards and trap cards have certain speed. This can only used when in certain condition and which effect can be chained to another.

Spell Speed
  1. Spell Speed 1
    Cards can ordinarily only be played during the turn of the player who controls the card. This is true for Field and Continuous spell cards only when they are initially played. Spell Speed 1 cards cannot be chained to or activated in response to any other card. Spell Speed 1 effects, however, can be chained to other Spell Speed 1 effects.
  2. Spell Speed 2
    Cards can be played on either player's turn but must have been set during your turn. Spell Speed 2 cards can be activated in response to any Spell Speed 1 or 2 card or effect. Spell Speed 2 effects are rarer but are usually compulsory to activate.
  3. Spell Speed 3
    Cards are only Counter trap cards. They can be activated in response to either Spell Speed 1, 2, or 3.

They are also supported by Stronghold the Moving Fortress, Boot Up Soldier - Dread Dynamo, Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera. They are found in the Machine Re-Volt and the new Machina Mayhem Structure Deck.

Yugi Mutou (not Yami Yugi) is the one who shows using these cards when facing Yami Yugi.

Gadgets are a mildly well known set, due to their effects and appearance in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime series. Players often use them to get ahead in what is considered card advantage, by gaining another Gadget in hand each time a gadget is summoned and protecting the Gadgets with numerous removal and negation-based cards like Sakuretsu Armor and Royal Oppression. The card known as Elemental Hero - Stratos (E. Hero Airman) tended to neutralize the use of Gadgets this way. Stratos has recently been restricted in play, allowing Gadget use to thrive again.
