Darthikyu Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 [spoiler=Effect]2 Level 4 "Lightsworn" monstersYou can also Xyz Summon this card by using 3 Level 4 "Lightsworn" monsters you control. You can detach 1 material from this card; send cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard equal to the amount of materials attached to this card +2. If this card is sent to the graveyard, except by battle, you can add 1 card from your graveyard to your hand that was sent there by this card's effect. So I've been playing Lightsworn (Chaossworn specifically) lately in my regionals and locals, and doing okay with them, y'know, what you'd expect from Lightsworn. The biggest issue, which any LS player would know, is milling bad cards. Milling a felis, a Wulf, or a minerva is great, but odds are you're milling JD or BLS. This card functions to aid with that: Its milling effect is designed to be decent or good on the first turn depending on how many units are attached, giving you a bonus if you used more than 2 monsters (Raiden Wulf Felis and Twilightsworn Jain are the usual cards you'd use in a chaossworn deck.) The second part of this card's effect is the reason it exists to begin with: it permits you to use it in a link summon (if you have the resources) and go into Curious, then add back BLS, then use Curious' effect to send another card + mill 3 off of itself. In general this card's main purpose in the current metagame is attempt to give LS more than 1 turn 1 options, as they are currently very limited in what they can do turn 1. This card doesn't fix that entirely, but it does provide more options than 'just' minerva. Issues I myself recognize: I'm not entirely sure about the milling amount. 4 (when using 3 materials) seemed good to me, however, the next turn if it somehow survived it becomes 3 which totals 7 cards to choose from if/when it goes to the grave. "Except by battle" Is a clause I added for the simple reason I didn't want people to benefit off of the card being destroyed by battle to prevent it from activating in any situation, and discourage leaving it on the board instead of going for proactive plays.

Darj Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 You can skip the first clause by simply writing 2 or 3 "Lightsworn" monsters in its materials. I'm no expert on LSs so I can't say too much about this card. I can only compare it with Curious, which requires 3 materials, adds to the milling and also has an effect that lets you retrieve a card in your GY. The big difference of course is that this can mill more, and I don't know if that's fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference of course is that this can mill more, and I don't know if that's fair.Curious has the fact it's a link and that it can send any card it wants to the graveyard (including judgment, wulf and felis) over this card, and this card can only mills the same amount in general (1+3, Curious mills 1 specific card + 3 randoms) Didn't know that the summon condition could have a variable, cool.

TheTrueSaiyan Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Nice card but I have a problem with the last effect If this card is sent to the graveyard, except by battle, you can add 1 card from your graveyard to your hand that was sent there by this card's effect. A lot of turns can pass between this card being summoned and being destroyed, and in LS your constant milling cards left and right. Having to set aside the cards milled by just this card sounds like a giant pain. Curious is fine since it adds any card but I would recommend change=ing this so it's doesn't require so much work IRL. Otherwise, the card is good, overlaps a lot with Minerva but more mills is always nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
