New archetype or nah?

hurr durr 7 dwarves

[Maeriberii Haan]

this is actually really damn good

this

 

I mean, LS exist, and it's only going to get better with time, seeing as it's a free level 4 LIGHT.

[Maeriberii Haan]

It gives values to single-use cards that thins the deck like upstart, terraforming, chicken race engine, ROTAs, etc

 

being summonable in either player's turn gives it cockblocking ability, and even the effect when NS'd is pretty good.

 

hell, it can even feed on used COTH/chains

 

reallly going to age seriously well. especially since it's a level 4 spellcaster.

[Toffee.]

I seriously funking want the rest of this Archetype.

It's name is honestly implying it- shoosh

[White Void]

I think we found our new Duston/Deskbot one at a time archetype based on that name? 

 

The synergy between this and Wonder Wand really makes me want to build something around this.

[Jord200]

Archetype or riot, Konami.

[Progenitor]

But Nastu when

[White Void]

Then again, Denko Sekka's name was formatted in a rather archetype way too in OCG and that...didn't really end up being a thing so this might just be a fantastic standalone monster with ridiculous potential.

[Toffee.]

Hey, umm.... Does this card's JP name share any characters with Shiranui?

I can't find it's JP name anywhere, but still.

Denko Sekka is a pun though.  The kanji combine Snowflake and Lightning to create 電光雪花 (Denkō Sekka).  The pun comes from the word/phrase for lightning speed 電光石火 (Denkōsekka) which is pronounced exactly the same, hence the art pertaining to Denko Sekka, but the effect relating moreso to Denkosekka.  It wasn't really written like a archetype at all in fact, and was a standalone from the get go

#TheMoreYouKnow

[Βyakuya]

It doesn't seem to do anything now, but this card has some potential and can age well. Namely, anything that can abuse the face-down effect since it can stop a lot of things. The banish effect might be too hefty but it too can have some potential considering you can banish 7 from hand, field, and/or grave.

[Slinky]

So.. a Tsukuyomi upgrade?

 

Thats actually pretty neat.

Shirayuki Initiation

Spell | Normal

-----

Reveal 1 "Shirayuki" monster in your hand; send the top 10 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you use this effect, except "Shirayuki" monsters.

 

 

huehuehuehue-*shot*

It's a really flexible card, good typing, strong effect, on-demand bait.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

lol, summon in LS and tune with Raiden for Omega.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Konami teases me with a card that doesn't work with Unpossessed, but it's an interesting card regardless.

[byak]

Is today the day I finally get a card that can reliably activate Xyz Dimension Splash???

Well, you need 7 cards, plus this must be in the Graveyard, so it still takes a bit of set-up, which reminds me, why not from the hand as well? I don't see a reason why not, thematically or game play wise.

don't let your dreams be dreams

[Spinny]

This seems genuinely amazing lol

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

This seems genuinely amazing lol

also use her as a material for Amaterasu

 

[White Void]

So I've decided this is my favorite card in quite awhile. It's extremely spammable since it gives filler/consistency cards like Upstart Goblin, Terraforming/Chicken Game engine, RotA and its various clones, Thunder Dragon, Toon Table of Contents outside of Toons, and more a purpose after they've been used. She's LIGHT so you can always do stuff with Brilliant Fusion into Seraphanite to get her into grave in the first place and then use Brilliant Fusion and Seraphanite as fuel for her summon along with Seraphanite shenanigans. Or you could always just keep her in the grave to use as a cockblock when necessary on your opponent's turn. I feel like she might be the card that Wonder Wand has always wanted when it comes to being used as a "generic" card but only time will tell if there's any real potential there. The fact that she's lacking any kind of once per turn restriction whatsoever is insane.

 

And perhaps the most interesting synergy here comes with another card from the same set that will also possibly make a big wave:

 

 

Super Hippo Carnival essentially can optimally fulfill 6 of the necessary 7 cards itself while Hip Hippo can be used as whatever alongside Shirayuki or just as a deck thinner.

 

Someone is going to make FairyHippo a thing at some point.

You can't banish Tokens as part of a cost.

[White Void]

You can't banish Tokens as part of a cost.

As far as I remember, yes you can since the cost doesn't specify where the monster ends up. You can tribute tokens as long as a card doesn't specify send to the graveyard since tokens cease to exist once they leave the field but you can however use them for the action of tributing/banishing itself unless the tokens state otherwise.
