Crossroads of Chaos Card List and Set Guide

Overview

Crossroads of Chaos is a 100-card set released November 18, 2008, with codes CSOC-EN000 to CSOC-EN099. 97 cards were new; three had appeared first in the 2008 Collectible Tins or on a sneak peek card, according to the catalog's release dates.

It builds on The Duelist Genesis with eight more Synchro Monsters and eleven Tuners. Black Rose Dragon destroys every card on the field when it is Synchro Summoned, and Plaguespreader Zombie, a Tuner that revives itself from the GY, is the material for the Zombie Synchros Revived King Ha Des and Doomkaiser Dragon.

Its archetypes are the Morphtronics, thirteen Machines whose effects change with their battle position, and the Iron Chains, which mill your opponent's Deck. Black Rose Dragon is printed as an Ultra Rare, an Ultimate Rare and a Ghost Rare.

Cards and rarities

Crossroads of Chaos has 100 set codes, each starting CSOC-EN and printed under the artwork on the right. Where a card comes at more than one rarity, every version shares its code, so the table counts set codes at each rarity and a code printed at two rarities is counted twice.

The 10 Ultimate Rares and the Ghost Rare count again beside their other rarity, which is why the rows add up to 111 printings for 100 set codes. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts the distinct set codes you own against the set's total, so a card printed at two rarities counts once, with an every-rarity count beside it for collectors chasing each version.

Playing it

3 cards from Crossroads of Chaos are on the Forbidden & Limited List as of October 23, 2026: Gozen Match, Secret Village of the Spellcasters and Tempest Magician are Forbidden. A Forbidden card cannot be played at all and a Limited card at one copy per deck; the rest of the set can be run at three.

Plaguespreader Zombie can come back from the GY as often as you can put a card from your hand on top of your Deck, but it is banished when it leaves the field, so each copy gives you one more Synchro Summon from the GY.
