its decent i guess. although the normal restriction on "Fusion" seems unnecessary. can fetch specific mat for your fusion ladder is nice though its burn more resource that turn if not  slow since you require to have Link first and the summoned monster cannot be used as link mat

[Hallohallo]

 

About time we get a good Poly/Fusion searcher even if it's restricted to Normal Spells.

 

Sad it doesn't search Timaeus.

Search Brifu and use it to set up the other effect! Except there's nothing to gain from doing that :(

 

Honestly without the Fusion-only clause this card would be busted-level amazing, but with it it's pretty lame.

@Not@Tormentedjustsaying: He's only capable of searching normal Polymerization and Fusion cards, so he won't be able to grab BriFu.

 

A bit disappointing, but I suppose having an on-summon effect to search Poly and Fusion cards is nice, though IIRC Darlingtonia Cobra does it better, albeit only once in a duel, but I'm pretty sure that's all you need it for. Bit of a bother SSing not only from just the GY, but face-down too. Not that that would stop Link shenanigans mind.

god damn that makes it even worse

It's actually really good, IMO. Finally a generic-ish way to grab Fusion Spells. I would say it's more practical than Cobra because that one needs the support of Scorpio, while Scorpio requires specifically a monster to discard, and that can get in the way sometimes. On the other hand, this card can get the job done by itself plus any card to discard. If anything, it misses the Plant support the Predapalnt engine gets (Lonefire, Aromaseraphy Jasmine, Summon Sorceress + Glow-Up Bulb), but hey, you get extra deck space for other cards.

Besides, the Predaplant engine retains the edge of grabbing non-normal Fusion Spells, so it's not a straight case of outclassing.

The last effect looks fun enough for Shaddolls, putting aside you can still use the Set monster as Fusion material.

 

Nevermind, it cannot Summon any Shaddoll though its effect. Should be fun with Aleister though, since it gets to search also when it's flipped face-up.

I absolutely love this card. Yes, the Fusion-only restriction means it doesn't work as a splashable engine like the Predaplants, or Vision HERO Vyon can, but the second effect is free and require no additional main-deck requirements.

 

It's good support for loads of mostly mediocre cards. For example, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon comes to mind: You can discard Thunder Dragon to search 2 more, use This Card's effect to search Polymerization and then resurrect the discarded monster with its second effect. Then you get to Fusion Summon Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon by using the face-down Thunder Dragon and one in your hand, while still having a Thunder Dragon in your hand for later use.

 

Its intended use seems to be for summoning Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, since it can set it up easily if you have a Dark Magician in the GY.

 

Honestly, the only part I'm sad about is that it can't search Dragon's Mirror.

[xlArisenRoselx]

Oh. My. GAWD!! When I first saw the leak for this thing, I had high hopes, but this rewards those hopes in full! 

 

This can severely help all sorts of decks that really needed it, HERO being one of them. 

 

I really like that second effect. Don't have a means of Fusion summoning from the GY? Use this to gain your monster back!

Is eff 2 like prisma or FuFu

Prisma. You can tell it's like Prisma because it says

 

whose card name is listed on that monster

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Guys, he's blonde, it clearly must be luster!

 

 

On a more serious note, this suffers heavily from "Fusion Parasite Syndrome". It is a really powerful card, but it supports traditional fusion monsters far more than those that are more powerful/useful. It can't search brifu, it can't search fusion gate, it doesn't work with seraphinite, chimerafflesia, dragostapelia, first of dragons (lol), or other worthwhile fusion monsters.

 

It does work with frightfurs, but I have no idea how effective it would be there. Locking them out of links gives them an adamant ceiling, and I feel even fielding this is difficult, since your normal summon has far better options and most non-link special summon options are archetype-specific.

 

So yeah, super strong card, quite possibly absolutely useless. I could be wrong though, it happens pretty funking often.

[Tinkerer]

Well, I guess you can bring back any of the ABC pieces if you wanted to use their float effect again.

 

I guess the Gaia and the Buster Blader fusions now have a Dragon to use as material, but it doesn't even feel worth it a ton in that case either.  Inb4 they make some kind of Chaos Blue Eyes that uses Blue Eyes + a Dark monster.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Lame, I thought it was an instant shaddoll. Pitch Doll, add SF, summon Doll, Winda

I considered but that'd mean no Links. :( not worth it by any means.

[Darj]

Actually, when I commented I forgot about the Summon stun it carries, which can be a dealbreaker, especially when you would need Link markers to Summon more than 1 Fusion in the turn.

This really doesn't compare to the Predaplant engine IMO due to the restriction of shutting out your Extra Deck's non-Fusions that the Predaplant engine is so good at accessing.

 

I don't see this seeing much play beyond a casual level.

Yeah, I realized it later, hence my above reply.

[The Highlander]

3 copies of this and 3 summoner monks at the very least mean that the better dark magician fusion can be summoned somewhat consistently (given that this + dark mage in hand suffices).

Which gives Dark Magician a serious boost ... whatever that is worth.
