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.

Oh no.
That’s a cushioned box.
People will not be normal about her.
That’s broken.
WAY too broken
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.
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.
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
Well, we have Unicorn. That’s like infinitely more broken than this.
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).
“If it wasn’t” (a monster)
Suspicious nutritious.
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
If it wasn’t (a monster that could be Special Summoned), IE a monster with specific summoning conditions.
@V
Wrong. It says “If it wasn’t (a monster), or couldn’t be Special Summoned (for any reason)”
If the summoning failed or was restricted from even the attempt to summon.
It has nothing to do with wether it was a monster…
@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.
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.
@mr. long paragraph (tldr) baroque
Then waht is the point for putting “or couldn’t be Special Summoned” in its text
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.
Wait, wait, wait! Are they making love in that chest?
Mimighoul Rizz
She looks like Necroquip Princess’s little sister
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.
Mimi ghoul is a fine deck but it’s nowhere near the best TCG archetype since BA.
Meant to say the best start to a WP archetype since BA.
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.
That’s the tradeoff, but also Mimighoul runs Knightmare Phoenix anyways.
yup Knightmare Phoenix circumvents that
Half a Galaxy Hundred
Galaxy Fifty, even.
Ur pfp cringeeee jesus
looks like the girl will be a new mimighoul maindeck monster
most likely as ROTA does have the 2nd wave of support
Im really happy i quit yugioh 2 years ago 🙂 this game just never will be what it once was.
So why are you in a Ygo new’s website?
After quitting for 2 years like you said
much hype for a boring deck, good as a 1 of, if any
some do like the deck so while it may be boring for you it does have it’s fans
when the deck is not tier 0
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
I mean, good luck getting 4 Mimighouls flipped to do all that
well “potentially”
and didn’t read the part where it is special summoned to your field, so nvm about snatch steal
Finally something good
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.
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.
This card is meh. Extra Deck rips aren’t a big deal anymore.
Hitting princess/requiem/beatrice/insert other ed staple will feel good tho, you cant deny that
Hitting princess is basically instant-scoop unless you play Knightmare Phoenix.
@Namesky
Knightmare Phoenix is mandatory in Mimighoul for link climbing
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.
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.
I cannot wait for non-monster Spell/Trap that can be used in extra deck.
