    NeoArkadiaBy 47 Comments

    Mimighoul Archfiend charms all the ladies (and Extra Deck bosses)

    ROTA-ENSP1 Mimighoul Charm
    Continuous Spell Card
    Once per Chain, during the Main Phase, if a “Mimighoul” monster your opponent controls is flipped face-up: You can randomly choose 1 face-down card in your opponent’s Extra Deck, and if it is a monster that can be Special Summoned, Special Summon it to your field, but it cannot activate its effects this turn. If it wasn’t, or couldn’t be Special Summoned, banish that card. You can only use this effect of “Mimighoul Charm” twice per turn.

        Not really, it’s a win-more card. The chance of ripping an important 1-of like Fiendsmith Requiem is only 13%. At that point Kashtira Unicorn is just better.

      • flackenstien on

        I’m hoping by the time all these cards are out that the deck will not need Kashtira, so that this would be a comprable replacement with its own potential utility.
        This is their 2nd card to steal the opponent’s monster, and we do not know what the future support might make of that.

      • Logic Bomb on

        Naw, First you randomly pick, and you have to flip specifically a Mimighoul. It’s fine as a one-off, since you can search it

      • Baroque on

        I’m tempted to say that it’s less a case of “Unicorn is better” and more that it’s a case of “Unicorn has a friend now”.

        Before, you just had Unicorn guest-starring to rip a card out of the enemy Extra when Dungeon forced them to flip a Mimighoul or bust; now, you have Unicorn and Charm BOTH going off so that you can rip something in particular and then rip a random bit.

        Now, is this broken? Nowadays not really, especially since if it’s summonable whatever you hit with Charm’s still mostly in circulation (since it’s not getting banished then), but I’m not about to rag on Charm over Unicorn existing prior when let’s be honest, they’re happy to co-exist! Unicorn gets to cut away specific things so that Charm doesn’t run the risk of dropping things on your field you don’t want (e.g., Promethean Princess) or that you don’t want to let hit your opponent’s GY (e.g., a Fiendsmith Link), and together the two get to rip a fifth of your opponent’s Extra Deck out once both of Charm’s activations have been used in a turn.

        I’d say that there’s definitely, in light of that, room for both in Mimighoul going forward (so far).

      • Boi on

        Its a stupid wording that means if you have a full field or your under vanitys you banish instead, no extra deck s/t yet

      • V on

        If it wasn’t (a monster that could be Special Summoned), IE a monster with specific summoning conditions.

      • Snow on

        @V

        Wrong. It says “If it wasn’t (a monster), or couldn’t be Special Summoned (for any reason)”

      • ScionStorm on

        If the summoning failed or was restricted from even the attempt to summon.

        It has nothing to do with wether it was a monster…

      • Sky Striker Bedge on

        @Snow You’re the only one reading it that way. It’s obviously “if it wasn’t (a monster that can be Special Summoned).”

        I love ignoring key words to support my baseless theories.

      • Baroque on

        The first bit (“if it wasn’t”) is for catching monsters that can’t be Special Summoned (e.g., an Evil HERO Fusion Monster), the second bit (“or couldn’t be Special Summoned”) is for catching monsters that CAN be Special Summoned but you end up failing to Special Summon for one reason or another (e.g., you luck out and hit S:P, but there’s a Barrier Statue out that says nuh-uh).

        Each call-out is required for it to banish those specific things; the latter because if it didn’t care if the summon didn’t work then if, say, Chain Link 1 activate Charm, Chain Link 2 your opponent flips Vanity’s Emptiness, if it picked out something that COULD be Special Summoned but failed to then it’d just shrug and move on with its life; and the former because if it didn’t call that out and simply asked ‘hey did we fail to Special Summon?’, it’d ignore anything Nomi because that’s NOT what the previous effect asked about — it cared about finding a monster that CAN be Special Summoned, so if the banish failed to say ‘if it wasn’t’ then Charm would just look at, say, Shining Neos Wingman, look at him, and go “okay” before putting him back.

      • Pain on

        @mr. long paragraph (tldr) baroque
        Then waht is the point for putting “or couldn’t be Special Summoned” in its text

      • Baroque on

        It’s very clear you didn’t read, Pain, because I EXPLAINED the point of putting both bits of text in. Explaining both was the POINT of that post, even, so congratulations on managing to put your own reading comprehension skills on blast.

        Especially since I ended up saying it twice over, with different examples each time.

        To make it a hat trick: the point of calling out both is to catch two different things; Nomi monsters and failure to perform. The ‘if it wasn’t’ gets Nomi monsters since what the part prior to it cared about was monsters that CAN be Special Summoned, and the ‘or couldn’t be’ gets what mechanically CAN be summoned but for whatever reason FAILS to be.

        One could try to argue that ‘if it wasn’t’ catches both cases, but the only thing the added clarification hurts is people who’re allergic to reading, and it’s not exactly Konami’s problem if bibliophobes insist on trying to play Reading: the Cardening, so here we are with the text we were given.

    5. Name* on

      This is pretty good. This is easily the best WP archetype since BA. Not counting Kaiju because they were never really a deck, but they’re up there too, otherwise.

    6. Eureka on

      Honestly baffled that it’s not optional to summon and banish if you choose not to. Imagine hitting Promethean Princess and your deck just stops working.

    9. BoostHarpies on

      Im really happy i quit yugioh 2 years ago 🙂 this game just never will be what it once was.

    11. Trunks Strife on

      twice per turn, 4x chances if you go first
      imagine ripping all Yubels from extra
      or snatch stealing a powerful monster then eff goes live on opponent’s

      • Trunks Strife on

        well “potentially”
        and didn’t read the part where it is special summoned to your field, so nvm about snatch steal

    13. Namesky on

      Cute card and pretty unique effect.
      Requirement for activation is bit tricky even in dedicated Mimighoul deck so I’m not sure how good it will be, but at least it’s fun-looking card.

      • Baroque on

        I’m not sure how it’s tricky when what triggers its effect is the core premise of the Deck?

        Won’t deny that the card looks fun, though; tempted to figure out something nice to plug up the Extra Monster Zone with so that Charm banishes enemy Links it finds even when they aren’t Nomi.

    15. Nate1080 on

      Whether or not this card is really good depends on the rest of the support they get here. Let’s be honest, at the moment you’re never searching this over/before Dungeon, Room or Maker.

      As a turn 1 move, it’s really reliant on you resolving Archfiend…your only way to flip monsters face-up on your turn (unless you’re playing bad cards like Sol and Luna or Book of Taiyou). For turn 2, you have to end with I:P to make the most of whatever you summon (if you summon). All this is to say that it’s a really high commitment card with relatively mid-to-low reward…the opposite of Kashtira Unicorn here.

      • Eureka on

        This is a very grounded take. If the other stuff they get enables you to consistently flip 2 Mimighouls on your turn and 1-2 on your opponents while also grabbing Charm, then this card becomes potentially terrifying and it makes perfect sense why it’s a secret rare with just this effect. If the deck continues to operate at the pace it currently does, then it’s a win-more dud to add to the list of the TCG’s dropped balls.
