Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. During the turn card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, you can Normal Summon 1 Spirit monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) When this card is sent to the Graveyard, if you control a Spirit Monster: Draw 1 card.

Fast track to the tribute summon spirits, although I could have sworn we had one of these before. The last effect thankfully doesn't trigger off that, but it is mandatory, so there's that.

Discuss.

Its about time we got a Spirit that does this. Its really going to make the higher level Spirits at least playable, but its a shame that its not treated as two tributes as well

F***ing finally, a spirit with an extra NS effect. This'll be good with Aratama, playing kinda like gadget now. If we have a spirit tuner, then the last effect will be golden. Also, with Ara and Niki/Nigi out of the way, it seems like the next 2 sets will contain the Kusitama and the Sakitama.

Liking how the -tamas (Why not Mitamas?) are having effects that directly support other Spirits, in contrast with other Spirits that have standalone effects. Kinda like how the SMT Mitamas, when fused with your other demons, provide the same result, increased stats, and potentially different skills.

Cool, a new counter-intuitive timing failure to explain to Dueling Network.

 

I don't know that Spirits needed another Xyz turbo engine, but it works fine with Aratama.
