Oh this gives me Zoodiac ptsd
Link 1 should already be doing that to you.
The link 1 gives me ptsd to a whole different format my friend
This card implies we might get more Xyz monsters for this theme.
We need the other 3 against Thebes, but those should probably be traps. Especially since Parthe decided to be a monster.
Not earth!?
This card has me incredibly conflicted. While yes, it’s absolutely crazy to make turn 3 and an alright recovery turn 1, it doesn’t do anything the deck needs to play. The quick-play is great, but doesn’t summon unless you control a trap, meaning you’d be stuck with the Xyz monster. The recovery is good, but doesn’t fix any issue the deck has and if it has come to you losing them all and then having space for them, then you’d already have functionally won the game. And it’s second effect even only works if you summoned her the normal way, too.
Furthermore it’s a dark monster, meaning one of the better generic tools of the deck, Dominus Purge, becomes a liability.
There’s not a single good thing about this card that isn’t either clunky or outright disadvantageous, it’s so frustrating!
Trust me, as somebody who has played around with this deck a bit, it gives it exactly what it needs.
The biggest weakpoint of this deck is that the fieldspell is absolutely required to have any impact at all on the game, so finally getting a generic and consistent extra deck way to get it.
Second of all, this monster finally gives the deck a good monster to dump the trap monsters into, since it has 2 very positive effects for the deck.
And third of all, dont forget that all the trap monsters arent hard once per turns, and that the field spell gives you advantage for each. In other words, that effect with the 3 spell/traps gives you reusable 500 damage pings on the opponent for each, and a field negate for each. Also also the requirement to get it out with 2 matierials simply requires 1 adra, while also recycling both of the materials needed.
Tldr, the card is everything the deck needed, from reborning the materials, to abusing the field spell even more, to giving you the one thing the deck was missing. Only thing i really can complain about is taht its reborne ffect is only activated int he standbyphase, but if it wasnt that, it would probably be too op, since you could go into a second copy which would do the exact same thing again next turn
Argostar has to be one of the most null archetypes I’ve ever seen.
Just to be sure, i can still activate the 2nd eff even if i don’t have have any Argo trap in GY as long as the xyz have atleast 1 argo trap as mat right?…
You need to have at least one legal target in grave in order to activate the effect, but if you detach any traps to activate it you can use the effect to reset them as well as or instead of the one that was already there
Gyro! Gyro! Gyro Zeppli!

Still not sure I get what this deck’s win-condition is.
Make better decisions than your opponent is the only win condition there should be.
@… the only better decision is don’t play this deck lol
Great Card in a not so great deck. I stil don’t know where this deck’s goals are. Same with Ashened.
I’m looking at the page title… what is Corgeous?
its missing a certain superhero highschool
That’s cool. An extender and a recycled. That’s cool and all. They need a wincon or atleast a alt wincon or something. If this card is the only card they’re getting in the set, any card released later will be too late.
