Sometimes you just need to clear your head with a walk on a brisk cold morning.
RD/MRP2-JP047 氷花の鯉 Hyouka no Koi (Koi of the Frozen Flower/Koi of Winter Wonder)
Level 3 WATER Fish Effect Monster
ATK 1100
DEF 200
[REQUIREMENT] Send all monsters you control to the GY.
[EFFECT] Draw 1 card, but after you activate this effect, you cannot Normal or Special Summon monsters until the end of the tunr, except for Celestial Warrior, Warrior or Fairy monsters.
Note: 氷花 refers to basically a phenomenon of freezing in which something resembles a flower. In this case, it refers to that but also gravel from the river bed rising while frozen, creating a brief beautiful moment. Basically one of those ‘true beauty and wonder is ephemeral’ things Japanese culture tends to argue for, I think.
Also, you know, snowflakes are described metaphorically as ‘flowers of ice’. Which also, beauty is ephemeral since ya know, they melt.
