A new Gizmek appears, who is designed to heavily punish rapid field expansion.

ETCO-JP031 機巧狐－宇迦之御魂稲荷 Kikouko – Ukanomitamanoinari (Gizmek Inari, the Grain Storage Fox)
Level 7 EARTH Machine Effect Monster
ATK 2250
DEF 2250
You can only use the (1) and (2) effects of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) If a monster(s) is Special Summoned from the Deck: You can Special Summon this card from the hand.
(2) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; Special Summon 1 monster from the hand or Deck with same Attribute as the target monster, and whose ATK and DEF are the same as each other.
(3) Each time your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent.

This card’s name derives its name from Ukanomitama and Inari, the gods of Agriculture and Rice respectively. Inari is also heavily associated with Foxes. The two are also commonly associated with each other.

If you don’t understand the second effect, it’s meant to let you target, oh say, a DARK monster, and Special Summon Gizmek Orochi, we believe.
