LORE:

2 Level 4 WIND monsters

When this card is Xyz Summoned: Target 1 Set card your opponent controls; return it to the bottom of the Deck. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; return it to the top of the Deck.

 

Is it wrong of me to use this card in a Majespecter Deck?

It's Castiel that works twice, with a bonus effect.

 

In other words, it's hot garbage. I have no idea why you would ever think it was good enough to waste space on it

I never find any good Deck lists for Majespecter. Really, the only Extra Deck monsters that come to mind are the Dracoslayer trio. Even then, there's still plenty of space in the Extra Deck.

Majespecters usually do not want to Xyz Summon, however when an opportunity arrives that you could create momentum a costless toolbox can come in handy ... useless talk aside the card is just crazy and forcing the opponent to draw the same card is amazing (just think about the tears of someone whose continuous trap you hit with this ... losing more than an entire turn if used right).

Yeah; initially, you wouldn't want to Xyz Summon with Majespecter monsters. However, when you can, this is a pretty good option (well, other than Majester), and your opponent keeps drawing the same card, stuck in a loop, while you keep adding more cards that will serve more useful to you.

I use this card primarily in my Heraldic Beast Deck. Amphisbaena, Aberconway, Berner's Falcon (which I don't run), and Twin-Headed Eagle are all WIND, and this is a fun card to use with Advanced Heraldry Art.

 

Being able to either force the activation of, or remove, a Set S/T is awesome, and since it puts the card on the bottom of the Deck, they won't see it for a while (and you can also do this to a Set monster), and then spin a faceup card (monster or dead S/T) to give them a weakened draw can really cripple their plays.

 

And for added cruelty, the Deck runs Phoenix Wing Wind Blast because it's not hard to have discard fodder that you genuinely WANT in the Graveyard, and adds more spin disruption that makes Chidori even crueller.

 

And Twin-Headed Eagle likes to be a jerk with Chidori.

This cards has pretty low stats, with only 1900 ATK, and a quite hard summoning condition, but it has an effect like "Compulsory Evacuation Device", returning cards back, but instead of the hand, it returns them back to the deck,  which is better since your opponent cannot set it directly next turn, plus the second effect could ruin your opponent's draw.....

 

Not Bad

The only caveat about this, versus Castel; This doesn't shuffle into the deck, only place on top of, so the opponent will get the card back next turn. Unless it's an Extra Deck card, or something dead in the hand normally (Kozmo Ships?)

As such, Castel still has a place in decks running this, but this is overall better. Especially because of the free set card spin.

You act like that is a bad thing.

 

While your opponent does get the card back, might I remind you that A) that's the same thing when it comes to Extra Deck monster, B) powerful monsters are normally very costly, so putting them back on the deck gives your opponent a dead card, which leads up to C) Which is YOUR OPPONENT DOESN'T GET TO DRAW.

 

While in some situations returning a card like Manju would be bad, that's why you wait to bring this card out. IMO Top of Deck > Shuffle in Deck

So... I'm the only one who wonders what the flip is happening in the card art? Seems like Chidori is attacking some house.

Anyway, good card is good. Returning a set card can be really useful (though most really important set cards like BTH or the Solemns probably would have been activated upon seeing this coming). Placing on top the deck can be devasting if the opponent is low on resources and if you're putting back a trap or a hard to summon monster.

I'm honestly pretty sure this is just worse than castel, since castel's utility comes largely from hitting scales and field spells, which aren't exactly incredible to put on top, and both provide significant enough advantage that the benefits of forcing the topdeck are negligible. Tucking the set card isn't incredibly relevant, especially now.

 

Not to mention it has the material restriction, which restricts techs even in WIND-oriented decks. This even has lower ATK, and misses out on the synergy Castel has with DDW.

 

This card was once a powerhouse, but it really isn't amazing now, and may just be bad.

I recognized 2 of those points, just saying. I mentioned Extra Deck cards didn't matter, and that dead things in the hand might not be a bad idea. THe whole "Not drawing" thing I don't think about a lot, admittedly, though.

Cosmo Blazer brings back soooooooo many memories of my early Yugioh years.

 

This card has seemed to hold true all the way through its release to me, being revived thanks to Yosenju, which itself was just revived through Demise.

Chidori (千鳥, literally "A Thousand Birds" or "Plover")  can refer to a sword used by a guy. It resembles a bird, and is coming out of a sword, so I'm guessing that has something to do with it.
