Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer

[~British Soul~]

 

2 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field; change it to face-down Defense Position. You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 other face-up card on the field; shuffle it into the Deck. You can only use 1 "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

 

We know it's a good (and expensive) card, and when its reprint comes in the Mega Tin (as one of the promos), everyone and their mother will have a copy, discuss?

Its not that expensive is it? Everyone and their mother already seems to have one.

Probably one of the best staples that you can run; provided your Deck has the resources to make it.

Honestly speaking, I more/less use the 2 mat detach effect to bounce something away.

 

Not really sure if there have been any situations that the first one would be sufficient; unless I needed to soften up an opponent or something.

Just as a sidenote, Castel's running for $18-20 at local dealership (and they're sold out of him; both English and Japanese).

So yeah, if people have them, either they're lucky as hell or have big bucks (which is something I don't have as a college student; especially for a single card). 

 

I'll likely buy the tin though, since even as reprint, likely will be too expensive to buy as a single.

I suppose with its reprint announcement, its price seems to have gone down a bit (averaging about £15 on ebay atm)

I don't think it'll be too expensive when the reprint comes. (It's one of the 4 Super promos after all)

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Considering its staple status at the moment, kind of predicting the price will be a bit on the high end.

I don't expect it to lose favor anytime soon.

 

But yeah, it'll most likely be cheaper (if similar cards in the Collector's Tins show anything).

There is no legal Synchro with the efficiency of this card.

[Expelsword]

Lavalval Dragon is BASICALLY Brionac, it's just non-generic with a cost.

 

I suppose you could argue that makes it less "efficient"

[Toffee.]

I bought a playset of these for like 10-ish each back when 101 was still the current thing.
NOW THE ROLES HAVE BEEN REVERSED~

[Expelsword]

The most aggrevating thing is that you can even rank this up into C101.

Castel's price has been jumping all over the place for ages. It started low, then went up to like 10-15 apiece. Last I looked it was hovering above 20.

 

It's confirmed for a Tin promo? Cool. That'll drop its price (for the tin promo) to like...$1. Hell, the D-Ruler tin promos cost like $2 while the pack version was pushing $10.

 

I love tin reprints. Usually can get a playset of cool cards (like Thunder Seahorse) for next to nothing, without even needing to buy the tin.
