Wight Curry-Butler

DARK / Level 1 / Zombie / Effect

 

This card's name becomes "Skull Servant" while it is in the Graveyard. Any Effect and/or Piercing Damage you would take is Reduced to 0. When Level/Rank 4 or lower monster is Special Summoned in face-up Attack position. you can Special Summon this card from your hand. additionally, if that Special Summoned Monster is Zombie-type Monster, Immediately after this effect resolved: You can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using that monsters and this card as Fusion Materials.

ATK 100 / DEF 0

 

aside of Yu-gi-Oh!, Castlevania is another Konami Game that im being fan of. and i just love how wacky the skeletal creature in that game can be. and Waiter Skeleton being my favorite among them. its kinda obvious that esthetic-wise Waiter and other Skeletal Creature will fit in perfectly with Wight Archetype. so we left with problem how the Castlevania lore and trait can be translated as the effect of this card?

 

in case of Wight Curry-Butler here being butler whose ready to serve its master i gave him slightly tricky version of "T.G Warwolf" effect..which further combo with immediate Fusion Summoning afterwards Ala Fusion Parasite (and kinda Super-Poly if you have Zombie World lel) for reflecting that niche interaction in Dawn of Sorrow game for calling out Yeti. originally i want to put life gaining instead of damage reduction for LP related effect for curry being both healing related card and item in both game. but instead, i go for damage reduction for it being more helpful against some finisher like Cowboy, Dora or burn decks in general.

 

the direction i go aside from niche protection against burn and pierce is helping the deck to amass material for extra deck summoning during your turn and additional shield during you opponent turn if you somehow lost your king

So, it pretty much makes at least a Draconecro by using itself and the opponent's Zombie; that's really cool, making the effect live almost anytime the condition for fusing is met. And side Winda, Predaplant Rafflesia, Escuridao, etc. for their respective matchups.

I'm kinda wary of this card being capable of boosting Skull Servant King even further by becoming a Skull Servant in the grave. As if there weren't enough Skull Servant substitutes already. Other than that, it looks like a solid card to me.

to be honest i kinda wary about that too...

 

i do have this awfully gimmicky if not  a bit counter-productive effect draft that originally planned for another Wight//castlevania card i made that inspired by in game creature Yorick:

 

"While you have 1 (or 2) Wight Curry Butler in your Graveyard other than this card : this card names becomes Skull Servant"

 

so the essential idea is they only can be treated as Kings boost if there a multiple numbers of same cards in your grave first. which i think is not that a problem if the rest of the effects is generic enough to be splashed to Wights deck as non-skull servant shenanigan in early game or as tech for other zombie deck

i love the curry skeleton. fave monster from castlevania, but i don't play a lot so i've forgotten about him.

 

but uh, is this supposed to do anything in a skull servant deck? the effect damage/piercing damage reducing doesn't really do much (i guess combo it with lady? but it can't SS itself when Lady is SSed because the SSed monster has to be in attack position), the swarming effect is situational, and i don't really know what fusions you'd want to go into. (dragonecro and what else?? starving venom??)

 

i'd have to test it if a card like this was released, but ultimately it's a very weird to play card since it's not really live in the grave, so i'd have to draw into it, and even then, it's not super rewarding.
