Pretty good, I enjoyed it. I admit a terrible bias for the monsters that just won't stay dead, and Vampire Lord is top of the list. Great seeing him used.

So a couple villains already made their appearance, and a third who will likely show was mentioned too. I enjoyed the mention of the underground dueling; I hope it shows up at some point.

On a fairly hypocritical note, between Black Magician of Chaos and and Vampire Genesis, I can't help but think you've brought out the characters' trump cards just a bit too early. I know I'm very guilty of it, but it's still a concern.
