Vortex Trooper

Browsing through the unofficial tournament decks on Shriek again today, I noticed a Laval deck that happened to run this card, just like an old Laval deck I had seen a long time before from the same site. Is it maybe an accepted card in Lavals in Japan? I've never seen anyone use it outside of these two deck lists. Obviously its use is putting back Handmaiden's into the deck and hopefully drawing into the cards you actually want in your hand, and it gives a free draw if you ram it or something which is cool. Luckily, it doesn't even have to be destroyed by battle or specifically by your opponent, but with 0 ATK it probably will be.

And sadly, Card Trooper has those identical applications, and is better.

For a moment I thought you were talking about the shuffle effect, but I get what you mean now. Yeah, Card Trooper in general is a better card, though you don't necessarily want to mill randomly in Lavals. Losing Rekindling is not helpful!

It most certainly is not. While I'd say Card Trooper is better in just about every Deck, Vortex here is better in Lavals IMO. I can't help but feel like he used to just say "Summoned", though (never mind that the anime is OPT)

I had to re-read this real quick, because I noticed something fairly big about this: The wording just says "Shuffle 2 cards," AKA not limited. At first I figured it was just going to be for Maidens as Zepp said...but this can also put those Rekindlings back into your deck. That feels pretty potent, when I think about it. Very interesting choice, it's kind of a surprising thing to see in Lavals but I can see it's uses.
