Trickstar Lycorissica [COTD]

[~British Soul~]

 

Fairy/Effect

During either player's turn: You can reveal this card in your hand, then target 1 "Trickster" monster you control, except "Trickster Lycorissica"; Special Summon this card, and if you do, return that monster to the hand. Each time a card(s) is added to your opponent's hand, inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each.

1600/1200

 

discuss?

Helps dodge nasty effects, probably burns on draws and definitely on searches and recovery, has an okay body. I like it. I like this whole archetype, in fact. They seem like they'll be fun with Dark Room of Nightmare. 

[Blake]

I don't especially get it.

 

It's 2017. Unless the thing you're using Birdman or equivalent on is replacing itself, this isn't a gain.

 

Dodging effects only matters in the case of, like, veiler on Candina.

 

She's not terrible, I guess, but I'm very confused as to what the actual point is, considering this is the last Trickstar in the set.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Recycle the Deck's stratos maybe

yeah man recycle normal summons with something you are probably searching to enable that

 

when you could instead search lillybell and go into holly angel for 1-card

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

The trick is to summon it while the opponent is explaining what pot of greed does, to score that sick burn damage.

 

Would actually be really interesting if it were, say, 500.

The burn with reincarnation would be real as funk.

It all really depends on what you search off the normal. If it's the trap, while you have this in hand, you're pretty well off in assuring your monster lives. Searching this off the normal to recycle normal is a delayed zero sum game and not that great I'll admit

It's pretty weak right now. Best thing to do would be search trap, use trap grave effect if the Stratos is killed, us this to recycle the normal.

 

But this is 2017, multi turn plays are met with smug condescension from the YGO elite

It's only decent if you draw some combo of Field, this, and Candina. Admittedly, that's the sort of thing you want to happen, but it's still not amazing, because all it really gains you is a candina in hand, when it still cost you a Normal Summon.

These are all light, ya?

normal summon solved.

Yeah BriFu obv fixes everything for every hand

 

i still think these guys are just going to be an engine of Fiel + Lillybell + Candina, though you don't need Candina if you want a generic mat that locks down a backrow.

 

There's no deck to really play right now.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Ah, so that's why the Trap was completely unrelated, because it wasn't! Well, it can be a quite hefty burn if you play it right, and if you just keep it in your hand until the right time, you can always pull it off, since that last effect is Continuous. Trickstar look like what Performage could have been before Dennis was written out of the show.

Brilliant Fusion pretty great cause it dump the level 2 which means you can recover that copy of Lillybell in grave for massive POKE

But this is 2017, multi turn plays are met with smug condescension from the YGO elite

Js theres actually more benefit of the doubt towards anime decks due to low expectation of good cards to begin with. All you really need to realize is that plays that take multiple turns are weaker comparatively than the 1 card combos of today.

[vla1ne]

chaining this to the trap on the second turn is a 1200 burn, plus, what will likely be severe annoyance on your opponent's part should you be random enough to Chain strike/multiple destruction them, and that alone, makes this worth running.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Actually, according to Lillybell's wording, it triggers whenever it's added to the hand from ANY source. So you can bounce a Lillybell you control with this card, then SS Lillybell with her own effect.

Just for the record, due to different wording (compare to "Return to grave" vs "Send to grave"), this probably does not work.

IIRC, he's actually right, based on rulings we got recently, Lilybelle will proc on bounce.

 

Just really weird that this was never relevant before, and it's still not a reason to play this.

Yea, I just saw on Discord that apparently things have changed. Gonna go read the Rulings Page now.

As far as it goes card is probably worth running purely because it's not like you'll have many other options unless you're going full hybrid. Reusing the Stratos is worth something, even if not much.

[Tinkerer]

I mean, this helps push things further.  Level 2 grabs this from grave, this summons itself by bouncing the level 2, level 2 summons itself and can attack/add again.  There isn't a OPT on either effect.

 

I don't think it is bad by any means, it just... doesn't seem to add as much as the others and is overly aggressive while the others really aren't.  Really cool interactions (all of them have really unique interactions with each other), but ultimately not as big a tie-in as the others.
