Shuffling

 * Both Nezbitt (in episode 106) and Arkana use the "shotgun shuffle" technique to shuffle their Decks, albeit the latter for cheating.

Card Design

 * "Alien Shocktrooper" seems to have been "nerfed" to become an EARTH monster, whereas it should have been a WATER monster. This is supported by the vast majority of "Alien" monsters having orbs that match their Attributes, as well as "Alien Shocktrooper" being an advanced form of "Alien Hunter" (the latter being WATER with blue orbs as well).
 * There may be some validity to this reasoning, since "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes" was in the same set as this card, and "Skreech" was only just released in the next pack. This could be compounded with "Gagagigo". Or, maybe they didn't want "Gagagigo" outclassed as a Normal WATER Reptile-Type monster.


 * "Chaos Zone" + "King of the Skull Servants"
