You can only use the (2)nd and (3)rd effects of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.
(2) If your Machine or Illusion monster battles, after damage calculation: You can target 1 of your monsters that is banished or in your GY; Special Summon it.
(3) If this card is banished from the field: You can Special Summon it.
Note: This card’s name derives from “Golgoil”‘s flavor text. Golgoil was an Illusion Alignment monster from several of the older video games.

Looks like we’re going to be getting a number of these cards that support “Illusion or X Monster Type”. Not that I’m complaining, I really want to see if the Spellcaster one is a Pegasus monster so I can put it in my Relinquished deck. 😀
As Jay said, I’m excited for a potential set of Illusion monsters that also support one other type. It’s a shame they don’t also have a “this is treated as X type” effect but it’s a cool way to keep them interesting!
wow tough card it’s really an upgrade of the regular Golgoil. It really smell like Psycho puppet or Mask of dark and shine will probably finally showing themself.
Finally cards from that extension start to being worthy of my interest.
Seems like a decent card for trains if you want to use it
I actually love these cards, Illusion is so cool
This is one of a few cards that can compensate Card of Sanctity’s terrible cost, and make it a +1 or +2 if it was the only thing in hand and field.
Guys. Where can i see the list of unrelease cards in DoR/sacred card ?
Guess first things first, gotta get the nostalgia bait out of the way.
Did I just seriously see somebody refer to Golgoil as “nostalgia bait”?
Yes, you did
I would say this is a better treatment than cyberse/dinos. So the illusion-type will not merge into an archetype or be abused by a single deck like branded chimera.
Konami after all this time finally decided to care about Illusion, properly supporting the Type with decent tech options instead of gimmicks like Fluffyfluff and UFOLight. It’s another high Level Illusion to be supported by Sinful Spoils Cycle. Cannot initially Special Summon itself from the hand, GY, etc. so you need to build an Illusion/Chimera core around Golgoil. I like the new gimmick of Illusions also supporting a specific Type based on their Type in the games.
It hasn’t even been a year since Illusion type was introduced…
Is that revival effect based on its Duelist of the Roses version?
how is it the other arrives at the same level, yet this one jumps to 10
Because this one is an evolved form of the original
