So we’re just powercreepinging Seista Torero now?
A 2025 card should powercreep a 2021 card by default.
Totero has a niche Fusion interaction with Kuribot, albeit that too has fallen oyt if favor for more traditional bounces.
Einvy is a weaker Jointech Joint, but she also functions as a body on board to use for Tribute Summons and card effects, and can optionally grant Plant Decks piercing.
She is clearly designed for Shadow Flowers, not just because of their shared Type and Attribute, or because their strategy will naturally send a lot of monsters to the GY anyway making Einvy’s requirement trivial. Shadow Flowers have a handful of cards that change a face-down monster your opponent controls to face-up Attack Position – but the most important of these is Flurry, which sends a face up Plant you control to the GY and lets you draw a card.
Though not always recoverable, Einvy can be reused multiple times thanks to Wish, Meika Etraynze, and Clematis (who benefits from Einvy being a body since he has to be Normal Summoned).
I hope we just get more recycling in theme, for the spells
I understand what Konami is going for, but Shadow Flower will only improve or be useful when they get their own Fusion Spell Card that makes Fusion Summoning easier.
This card seems pretty… Irreverent budamp tish
