its homage to Necrofear Anime Effect so flavor wise is nice. the effect itself is ok i guess

I was wondering if Yami Bakura's "Ghostly Fiends" from the Labyrinth of Nightmare set were going to be retrained, but looking at the images for this card and Dark Spirit of Malice, I realized they technically are:

 

Denial here has the sword and body parts of The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams plus the shield and parts of the armor of Headless Knight.

 

Malice, meanwhile, appears to be parts of The Portrait's Secret (including the remnants of the portrait's frame) combined with Earthbound Spirit (namely the earth that it comes out of).

 

... which makes me think that if/when a third "Dark Spirit" monster is revealed, it'll be The Earl of Demise possibly combined with Souls of the Forgotten.

If we do get such a monster, it won't be in this set.

Either that or they'll likely retrain the Earl of Demise, a la as a Contact Fusion. 

 

But this and Malice definitely have their uses-the D/Ds will see to that. However, I think Malice might get more use, as interrupting the opponent's Ghost Girl shenanigans to recur, say, a typical D/D/D or Frightfur Kraken opens up so many options.

 

I can see this as a 7.9/10, though.
