Netherworld 2 was released in April 2001 with 145 cards and the identifier is a swirl in the upper right corner. Z-Man Games returned to the Netherworld with this set. The Monarchs get the biggest boost, with over one-third of the set's cards devoted to them. Other factions made stronger were the Jammers, Architects, and the Hand. The set is heavy with sites. Critical to Netherworld 2 were the Pagodas of the individual Monarchs. They were also given new foundation characters to make playing them much easier. The seven Hand Senshi Chambers were also either created, revised or reprinted (only four of the Chambers were printed in the first Netherwold set). Another popular card is the feng shi site Waterfall Sanctuary. Other new cards that we see regular play include Bounty, Mr. Red, and Fanaticism. Continuing the tradition of the White Ninja, Z-Man revamped the character Nine Cuts, turning it into a much more powerful promo card.
