Only the fusion is even remotely usable? WTF Konami?
Aight, ngl, these suck!
BUT!
The effect monster is the best form of Behemoth to the date.
The fusion does have a cool concept of working from, for and around polymerization, i like it even though its kinda meh competitively.
The synchro has to be a joke. Battle tricks in 2023? lmao sure
Love the art of the XYZ, and hey! its a spell counter stacking spellcaster! too bad the last effect isnt a quick effect :/ its completely unusable like this
The spell card is a better remote controller, no complaints, for what it aims to be it beats some other options so its whatever, but then again, battle tricks in 2023 x2?
Finally, trap……… battle tricks in 2023 x3? xD
These are fillers, not “free agents”.
Free Agents is Konami’s term for any generalized cards, so yeah, Free Agents.
I like the new Behemoth card. I have a Melffy build that makes use of the original Behemoth, King of all Animals, so this would do well in it. The rest I could really care less for, they don’t seem interesting enough to use.
