PHNI-JP030 Genroukan no Shisha / Envoy of the Wax State
Illusion/Effect, FIRE, Level 3, ATK 800, DEF 1800
You can only use the 1st effect of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) When an opponent’s monster declares an attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
(2) If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.
(3) At the end of your opponent’s Battle Phase: You can make all Attack Position monsters your opponent currently controls unable to change their battle position, be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon, also have their effects negated until the start of their next Battle Phase.

TL note: The name could be based on “Genrou” (written as 元老), which is a general name for a group of wise, elderly men. The “kan” is a manor or similar, so this monster would be an envoy from a manor where someone of high authority/importance lives. “Genrou”, however, is written as “illusion” + “wax”.

PHNI-JP033 Mokomokko / Fluffyfluff
Illusion/Flip/Effect, WATER, Lv 1, ATK 300, DEF 300
You can only use the 2nd and 3rd effect of this card’s name each once per turn.
(1) If this card battles a monster, neither can be destroyed by that battle.
(2) During your Main Phase: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position.
(3) FLIP: Draw 1 card.

PHNI-JP035 Jongleurghoul no Genjutsushi / Illusionist of Jongleurghoul
Illusion/Normal, DARK, Lv 4, ATK 2000, DEF 0
A street performer skilled in getting the crowds excited. Distracts through songs and dances and attacks using strange moves. The moment those eyes start spinning, that’s a sign of danger, so make sure to hurry up and escape!
