“Sylvan” Special Feature: Combo To Reveal The Cards Of Your Deck! Seize Victory!
The “Sylvan” series finally debuted in “Legacy of the Valiant” which came out last week, and it’s a new kind of Deck that fights by revealing cards from the Deck! Because their effects activate when they’re sent to the Graveyard by an effect that reveals, the “Sylvans” can chain combos, one after another. so you’ll be able to seize victory by using the right cards one after another!
Sylvan Morigami Alsei
(LIGHT Plant-Type ATK 2300/DEF 3200)
Xyz Summon it with 2 Level 8 monsters! Once per turn, you can activate this card’s effect by declaring a card name, and then reveal the top card of your Deck. If it’s the named card, it’s added to your hand, otherwise that card is sent to the Graveyard. It also has a powerful effect that can return 1 card on the field to the top or bottom of its owner’s Deck. Since this effect activates by using an Xyz Material whenever a card is sent from the Deck to the Graveyard, you can activate it using its first effect!
The Characteristics of the Sylvan Monsters
The Sylvan Monsters all generally have an effect that when you reveal a Plant-Type monster from the top of your Deck, you send that monster to the Graveyard, and it returns a card to the bottom of the Deck (in the order you choose if it’s multiple cards) when it’s not a Plant-Type monster!
Also, each of them has an effect that triggers when they’re sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by a card effect that excavates, so the “Sylvan” monsters are able to work in tandem with them.
