yes, yes i know, this is the month of feburary, meaning the chinese new year is around the corner. and also what most duelist cares about: the march banlist is coming soon too. but please tone down the hype, as it is still a couple of weeks more and dueling still has to go on.

so let us look forward to the release of the new set: the shining darkness first,shall we? and what i would like to mention is none other than its outstanding ritual monster of this set. the perfect declarer!



many may have overlooked or underestimated this card due to its look attack, as we are too used to the misconception that monsters with high attack associates with good. but hey! nobody asks you to use this as a beatstick and go round whacking people. instead, take a look at its nice BIG butt of 2800 DEF. cool ~ just put it in defense position and lock your opponent.

this card undoubtedly is a support card, and is a pretty "solid" support card. just put it to defense position and you can control the field to your preference. simply because this "declarer" has a build-in dark bribe and divine wrath, aside from the difference in spell speed.

what many may see of its shortcoming is its requirement, which requires you to send 1 fairy-type monster from hand to graveyard in order to negate the spell, trap or monster effect. what comes to mind next will be the use of dumping so many fairy monster to grave for? easy... and this also brings us to our next best partner of this card: archlord kristya!



after you have dump some fairies into grave, time to special summon this angel out.whats more, this angel refreshes your ammunition by giving you one fairy that you had dumped to grave. you can even take back that honest that you had thrown in desperate attempts, and now use it to protect them. do take note that both of them are light monsters too. honest-able.

whats so interesting about both of them when they are both on the field is that, it only shows your dominance over your opponent. think about it, you dont have to worry about your opponent using spell,trap or monster effects, since you have the PERFECT solution to it provided by the PERFECT declarer; no need to worry about opponent special summoning, or doing that insane goblin zombie-mezuki loop since you have the archlord kristya to take care of it.

now, you wouldnt be worrying about your opponent normal summoning, would you? just let him waste that once per turn normal summon if he wishes to. anyway he wont be able to penetrate through any of your shield or sword.

enjoy~
