If you have exactly 4 Fairy-Type monsters in your Graveyard, you canSpecial Summon this card (from your hand). When you do: Target 1 Fairy-Type monster in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand. Neither player can Special Summon monsters. If this face-up card would be sent from the field to the Graveyard, it returns to the top of theDeck, instead.

 

Pros:

 

+ Searchable by Benten

+ Level 8 for Dakini

+ Effectively seals games on match-ups you wouldn't normally win otherwise

+ In extreme cases, can be revived by Ritual Sanctuary

+ Its Fairy recovery provides extra fodder for Herald

+ Its summon condition is extremely easy to fulfill with how much Cyber Angels manipulate the fairies in their graveyard.

+ Machine Angel Ritual serves as a protection device.

 

Cons:

 

- Its float sucks. It essentially screws your next draw, and its fairy add essentially means you have 3 fairies should it die, making you unable to immediately resummon it.

- As easy as it is for it lock down your opponent, it can just as easily lock /you/ down if you play it at the wrong time or otherwise are unable to finish off your opponent quickly

 

However, the pros massively outweigh the cons, and it can easily sway games into your favor. It's not something you'll search or play every game, but if you do search it, you intend to drop it later that turn. Testing has shown that it is extremely worthwhile to at least try out. Some may like it, some may not.

I don't like it at all, really.

 

I ran the 1 copy, and I constantly felt like it was getting in my way, moreso than helping me win.

 

I'd rather tech something that's versatile instead of a card that's unlikely live T1 and gets less helpful as the game goes on.

Max Side Deck 1

 

The Special Summon lockdown is what kills it. You could negate it on your own turn with Alector, Sovereign  of Birds, but then you're getting a little out-of focus. Best use is a Dakini sac from hand, then maybe Sanctuary rez her from the Graveyard after you get set up with Ultimate Herald, and Dakini. And that is about it.

It was really cool with Star Seraphs in OCG after Construct and Chair got limited in October. Shame that the r8nk at the time pretty much meant Felgrand

 

Was actually used often with Seraphs in general in TCG too back when Construct was a thing, since 3 seraphs + construct happens really often and it can be used as a Light fodder if you can't drop it

 

it was really fun.

I'm tryna remember what the other fairies were. Cause after October there was only 1 construct and 1 chair. The build clogged a bit afair, which might be why it was phased out in OCG, but stayed strong in TCG apperently
